Messing Around

Some recent studies, speed-paints and other messes.

Below: Trying out something cartoony. Based on Zedig Diboine a bit and his approach to characters.

Quick moody messes playing around with an old dragon character. About ten minutes for each thanks to some musical motivation.

An unfinished matte painting experiment.

Lunch studies:

Sketches/Studies

Miscellaneous practice, speedpaintings, studies and the like

View from outside my workspace window.

Street-view studies, minus the bottom right image which is a partially photo referenced speed painting. And by speed painting I mean maybe 30-ish minutes.

Photo and artist studies. Some Wyeth and Sargent. Figuring out skin tones.

Enviro Flotsam

Doodlin' around. First image is a photo study. Second is a practice speedy.

These next three are all wips, to hopefully be tidied up and finished eventually.
