I like this one http://i.imgur.com/K2oq2y3.jpg Shading and colours are really good.

With that novel concept, just be careful with the bottom part of the mouth on the monster. It's wayyyy to long.
It should end just about where the shadow on the tongue ends.

Thanks! Yeah, that one is coming along nicely.

For now, it's intentional. I had kind of a Violator-inspired look in mind, while sketching it out, and he's got that really exaggerated under-bite going on. I may or may not leave it the way it is, but it's kind of the way I'm leaning, right now.

Good eye, though!

Done with Dante!



I may go back and sharpen up some of the details, later on, but it's time to move on! I'm very happy with this one.

That's awesome! How long did it take you to do that? I feel so noob compared to this XD

Thanks!

I didn't time this one, but I'm guessing maybe around 7hrs or so, off and on? That's completely a shot in the dark, though.

Basic color scheme, and experimenting with some texture on the wings.


Full-sized:

(Bear in mind that the little stick-figurish guy is just a place-holder for the human protagonist. I'll be drawing a full character in, to replace that, eventually. I also plan on making the sky more of a sky - albeit probably warped and twisted-ish - but the black will do for now.)

Holy crap! These are great.

Damn o.o, nice man!

Thank you, both!

One more work in progress. This one is huge, and is going to have a lot of detail in it. (4500 x 6000 px)

Update. Getting down to the facial details.

Working on the hair, which was really intimidating at first, but is coming along nicely.

Also, I think her right eye is just a little low. I plan on fixing that.

Probably my last update, before finishing her off. Still got some work to do, though. A few more details and some over-all touch-ups to the color and shading. Loving it, though, so far.

What drug have you been on recently and where did you get them?

Seriously, ridiculous level of improvement.

That's a hell of a compliment, man. Thanks!

Honestly? I have just been watching a lot of speed painting videos/tutorials.

Dragon Age 2 speed painting tutorial Qunari
HULK SPEED PAINTING ROMANS ART DEMO - YouTube
MEGAN FOX - speedpainting by Nico Di Mattia - YouTube
Digital Painting Process: DJ Goh-Goh - YouTube
Girl -process - YouTube
(countless others...)

And this brilliant (and free) course:
Digital Art for Beginners | Psdtuts+

Then, just mixing and matching tips and techniques I've learned, through a couple of afternoons of watching videos like those.

Finished.

That looks awesome! I love the coloring and shading in this one.

Thank you! Surprised myself with that one. Haha. I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Awesome job man!! I really like the subtle mix of colors in the face and the lighting in the hair.

Thank you very much, DM! This picture has given me a lot of confidence for future works. I feel like I'm quickly finding my niche with the digital stuff. This pretty much rivals anything I've ever done on paper.

I definitely hear ya on that! I've been working photoshop pretty hard lately and starting to really learn my way around it now, and I can finally say I've discovered what I've always been looking for - a way to paint that works just like the way I draw, but in full color. And the really amazing thing about it is how much you can change and adjust and undo and re-do.. I think my favorite tools right now are the Transform tools and the Liquify filter - with those you can alter and re-shape as much as you want to. Plus all the color and value adjusting tricks and other stuff I've learned from touching up my photos over the last few months..

I'll post what I've been working on pretty soon, when it's starting to look ready for prime time.

So, you started on the next one yet?

Nice job OZ! Do you pick your own colours or use burn and dodge?

Agreed. The ability to edit the overall pictures and play with the hues and saturations (and the countless other ways of editing) is just invaluable.

Can't wait to see it! And I've got a couple of ideas that I'm kicking around. Haven't quite started on my new one yet (aside from doing a little work here and there on older WIPs), but there will be more coming, soon.

I used my own colors. I'm making it a point not to just 'eyedropper copy' colors from source pics. Better to learn how to mix them, myself! I did use a little burn and dodge on certain areas, though, for certain effects.

An early look at the next picture I'm looking to paint. Inspired by a lucid dream and sketched in pen.
