Tobola Sketch

Just found some brushes created/collected by Barontieri, M@, and Goro over at Pandemonium Art. A ton of great stuff in these collections. While I was experimenting with the brushes I ended up making a warrior guy out of the abstract shapes that I was making. I’m not sure whether the guy looks better with chains or not so I have two versions.
I recently joined Art Jumble a weekly illustration community with different themes for the week. The first one I did was for Fight Club and I did a speed painting. I don’t often try to draw/paint real people so my Edward Norton interpretation doesn’t look anything like him. I didn’t want to spend more than an hour and a half or two hours on it though so I didn’t go back and fix it.

A military themed girl (again), a retro colored version of the picture, and a step-by-step process going from a sketch to finished character.

2 colored pics. The girl, an awkwardly posed sketch that I colored and pasted in a background from Google. The dragon, not sure what kind of dragon it is but I was inspired by art on magic cards (yeah I’m a huge nerd) and especially Raymond Swanland’s jaggy painting style. The dude in the dragon pic is the planeswalker Sarkhan Vol from MtG.

Pirates from concept art group. Painting took forever so I dropped one of the characters in the sketch from the painting. Took a nice step toward developing a painting style that is comfortable for me which means using the hard round Photoshop brush at 60-70% opacity 99% of the time and cleaning up my idea BEFORE painting which I neglected to do with this. Also work from big to small unlike this painting. –Mental notes end.
