Sexy lady in a catsuit

This is an older drawing but it was only ever a sketch.  I've shaded it in what I think is an appropriate comic style.

Sexy but not too revealing.  At least that's what I was trying to go for.

 

Asajj Ventriss

Since the birth of my son it has been difficult to keep up with drawing but here's a new image I've completed.  Unusually it's an existing character from Star Wars called Asaaj Ventriss rather than my own concept.

Comments are welcome as always.

Beautiful Woman / Secretary?

Obviously this needs some cleaning up and could do with being shaded as well.  The clothing is based on something a colleague wore to work one day.  The pose is simply one I concocted.  One of my favourite pieces.

Flying Super Hero

This image was drawn as part of a set so a group of youth's could work on a 'Design your own Super Hero' project.  Some of the colour schemes were superb but this is the original outline only.  I need to paint it at some point but children have a habit of preventing quiet time at the computer.

Story - Lakeside - complete

Following the birth of my son in June it has been difficult to keep up with work but I have finally completed the 'Story - Lakeside' image.  I will leave you to interpret it as you see fit.

The Woodland keeper

This is the fruit of my labour over the last few weeks. I have entered the piece into the "Digital Artist 2009" competition and I have high hopes for it. The story behind the image is that this lady's sword is imbued with magic from the natural world. The magic prevents it harming the earth, trees and plants so when she rests her arm on the sword there is no danger of it piercing the earth. Her armour and sword are meant to reflect her unity with nature, hence the leaf motif of the shield. The rest of her clothing also focuses on organic forms to further convey her love of nature. If you go to a much earlier post you can see the original pencil sketch. Enjoy.

Lakeside Story w.i.p.

I'm already beavering away on the next painting in the series and wanted to give a sneak preview so here it is. The early version is the lower of the two images on display. The top is the finished version of the painting. Enjoy.

The story

It's finished and it's posted here in all its glory. It will be on sale as a print from Yarm originals shortly too. Enjoy.

Frogman

Materials: As before but painted using Photoshop.

As promised here is a painted version of one of the new creatures. I've done away with the black outlines and moved into a more painterly style for this one. Also of note is the backgound, which is unusual for me as I like to focus on the character without distractions. I'm really happy with this and spent a considerable amount of time on it over the last few days. Enjoy

Materials - Originally drawn in pencil as you can see then scanned and enlarged to 3000 pixels high. Lineart redrawn and mistakes corrected, see face, jaw, length and size of nose and angle of the ear. Coloured using cel shading to allow the lineart to take centre stage. Background is simply a number of horizontal selections that was skewed to increase the width on one side. The selections were fuilled in Blue, leaving sharp white lines.

I really like this drawing and have done for a long time but I've tried colouring it a few times and it's never been right. A friend suggested Orange and Blue and it seemed to work perfectly. Enjoy.

Beauiful training lady

Hi all, Jumped back on the drawing/painting saddle in the last few days, it's been too long.

Materials: Pen and paper (original sketch about 2 inches high.) Scanned at ludicrously high resolution and then made a new line drawing in Photoshop and painted using large brushes with base layers adjusted by dodge and burn.

This image was inspired by a very small figure drawing I sketched whilst in training in my last job (Drawing in training wasn't the reason I left btw). The Trainer was wearing similar colours and was really expressive in her movements. I captured her as best I could and I have used artistic licence with the pose and her height but she was quite fascinating. Enjoy.

Trognoth DNA

At the time this screen was waken the Dwarf Hunter's pet stood in such a position ot suggest he had become half Dwarf half Beast. Most amusing... for me anyway : )

Fishing

An image from WoW depicting the ludicrous amount of time one must spend to increase Fishing skill. Again, not one of my sketches but an in joke for my fellow players.

King Ymiron

This is a screenshot from World of Warcraft depicting a celebration of sorts, as we had just defeated King Ymiron. Certainly not one of my sketches : )

Dynamic pose - Quick paint

Materials: Pencil and paper, quick painted in photoshop using large brush sizes with low opacity.

I really like the pose of this character. She has so much movement and by painting this quickly I feel I've kept that motion. I'm still working on the woman with the huge weapon but did this while having a quick break from it. Enjoy.
