Sandstorm

Trying out more dynamic poses and environmental settings. This is something I've been working on for the past few days. No lineart, just straight up paintings over a quick sketch.

Home

Something I started last year. The sketch has the city in the background from which this young girl came from. It was hard for me to create a nice skyline that didn't look amateurish so I went with mountains. Now that I've gotten accustomed to using photoshop I can probably change the background to it's original concept. I made the final image larger and the girl's position is more relaxed and actually makes sense....hehe. I plan to have little colored fish swimming in the water. I need to figure out how to make the water look like, well, water.

Old works

I found this old image that I did in my Illustration class back in 2008. It's based on a story I made about a young girl getting cured by a witch doctor. This was actually done on large bristol paper and inked it with micron pens. I don't remember the size but I had to scan it by 2 sections. I lost the original and the story when my locker got emptied out :(. I actually like this illustration because I inked it by hand. I don't like the bad perspective though but that can be fixed. I would like to work on it again sometime soon. Tell me what ya'll think!

Pets in progress

This is a drawing I had on my computer for 3 years which I had planned to color at the time. Now that I am more experienced with digital art, I think this outcome is better than my old style in which I used line art. I pretty much painted as I went along and it's really difficult! I had 4 different versions of the woman's face but I'm definitely satisfied with it characters now.
