flying mini ships

took me roughly 3 hrs to create this. Started with silhouettes, then simply added basic lights and darks to indicate form.

Shortcut to Paradise

did this in a bout 90 mins. I simply painted over a previous painting of mine (see painting here). Painting on existing plates is definitely easier than painting from scratch because with an existing plate before you, you don't need to figure out what the environment will look like. You just need to rearrange stuff. 

I added the black and white version so you can get a better grasp of the level of contrast in this painting; for we all know that value is one of the most important elements of art. 

Whipped this out a coupla weeks ago shortly after being heavily inspired by one of Feng Zhu's tutorials. The background was pretty easy to make. All I did was block in the sky with a custom made cloud brush, slap in a couple of tree textures, and ad some atmospheric fog to create some form of depth between the textures. nothing too fancy.
I was gonna add a baby inside, for that was my original plan, but I lost motivation. I'm thinking of drawing another version of this guy pretty soon.
The journey continues.

stone fence (speed painting)

took me 2 hrs. Some corrections can be made here and there, but nah, I won't stress on a sketch. Right now, I have a set of favorite brushes, and I usually start these quick paintings with a higher level of confidence. I'm starting to develop a style. The journey continues.

Forest speed painting

this was roughly done in 2 hours. The resolution was kept low in order to keep the computer from chugging. One day, I might increase the res, and tighten up the painting.

Fish Dude

This unnamed character lives in a world where the fish became the dominant species of their planet.

I started out with 5 silhouettes. Out of these five, I roughly rendered 4 of them. Out of these 4, I roughly added color to 3 of them. Out of these three, I will choose two of them to render with more detail.
took me about 90 mins to paint.
