refbot

I reffed a photo from GIS. it was looking kind of boring so I turned the girl into a robot.

I've been working on a picture for a contest that I missed the deadline on. oh well, I'll prob finish it eventually.

monster speedpaint

I did a quick paint over the sketch. I've been watching "The Mechanics of Color with Richard Keyes" and I think it's helped me immensely. I know now that having  cooler colored figure in the foreground creates more contrast than just the tone by itself.

asst. sketches

today I did some sketches from various references. fat people are a pain in the ass to draw.

monster test pose

damn, it's too late for anything involved. I did do a quick non-ref test pose of the monster before bed. as you can see, I haven't decided what to do with the legs design wise. he also has very dainty feet for some reason.

another monster

I tried another sketch of it at a 3/4 view. I way overused textures to the point where I think it's now a bit too muddy, but it was fun nonetheless.

referenced sketch

normally all of my stuff from ref. is pretty bad, but I'm kinda happy with this one. I tried to create soft features using only a hard edged brush and I think it worked out all right.
