Fantasy Painting

I was really unhappy with the way this was coming out once I started to add color, but with some help from the GutterZombies I’ve gotten it to a state that is at least satisfactory. I’m just happy to be finished.

Weekend WIPs

Some more progress with the fantasy piece. Redrew the centaur’s right arm to better fit the perspective and I think it works a lot better. Also made the minotaur a little angrier (“needs more battle fury!” as someone from gutterzombie put it) and worked on the lighting a little more.

Also working on a pinup of Sugar Ray Finhead, a character created by Doug Baron, a teacher I had in first year. I’m going for an old-timey boxing photo kind of look, partly because I think it’ll look cool but also because he prints the book in b+w and maybe he’ll throw it in ;).

Here’s the finished drawing for the fantasy painting. I think the human part of the centaur could use a little more work, but it’s time to jump into painting.

[Edit] Some more progress. Quick layout of values.

Centaur vs Minotaur comp

Starting a digital painting for my color illustration class. We have to do an illustration of some kind of mythology. This is a rough b+w comp to figure out the poses, lighting, and composition.
