House

So I've been very bad and not done much art recently but here's a piece I'm working on, the fabulous Hugh Laurie as House!  Not quite finished with it, the skin is a bit too smooth and I would like to try to give it a more pitted lived in feel, and I want to try the hair again but I'm going to leave it like this for now and come back to it in a while. Hope you enjoy!

Arya Stark - portrait practise

Portrait practise - Fagin

Portrait Practise - Robert Baratheon

Jorah Mormont Portrait Practise - Game of Thrones

So, im just over halfway through my course and haven't really done any painting recently.  So last week I felt like picking it up again, and since im so obsessed with the second season of Game of thrones I decided to get some portrait practise in.
Im mostly happy with it I might redo the (screen) right eye because it's looking a bit funky at the mo.
More on the way....maybe.

Life Update

So I haven't been painting very much the last couple of months and I have a reason, sort of. In a couple of weeks i'm going to be starting a compositing course at Escape Studios (for 3 months so don't expect many updates!), I've been reading up and playing about with nuke for the last wee while to get the feel of it, so photoshops taken a back seat. However i'm fed up of books right now so it's back to painting for a bit before I start the course. Here's a work in progress, lot's more to do yet, for your viewing pleasure.

Sherlock

So I'm going to jump on the sherlock wagon, I've only seen the last two episodes of season 2 but suffice to say I was very impressed and felt compelled to sketch this then tweak it digitally. I decided to keep it quite loose as I didn't think it would suit being too detailed. Hope you enjoy.

Moonscape

An evening piece, I felt like experimenting with a limited palette as a practise for an upcoming piece. For speed the water was generated in vue then painted over in photoshop.

Light Sentinels

An old mountain test from when I was playing around with vue, I decided to update it and add the northern lights and some other small details.

Temple

A painting inspired by my recent trip to Sicilly and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.
