After doing some portrait practice in Photoshop I switched it up to oils.  Haven't worked with oils in a while.  I got all the kit together and spent two evenings doing this. 

Portrait practice 6

Portrait Practice 6

Some more portrait practice.  The reference was from vishstudio on DA.  

I mentioned a while back I was doing some job interviews.  I have been really fortunate and  have managed to secure a new Job.  I am really excited about the change.  I will be moving and the short term downside of this is the time I have to practice will be seriously reduced for a while as I set my life up in a new location.

Bloodsports 15 Final

Bloodsports 15 Final

Brought together the characters for the final.  I struggled to get this done in time and really only had about 6 hours to put everything together.  This is the first time I built things up separately and brought  them together at the end. It was not very satisfying.

Portrait Practice 5

Cant believe I haven't done any of these since last year.  Jumping back into it.  This was from a photo.  I did not set a time limit but I think it was about 2 hours.

Bloodsports 15 Golem design

Bloodsports 15 Golem

Took a lot of liberties with the interpretation of this theme.  Some of the development is here. The golem or creature in this case was more in the mold of an old retrainer, technically savvy and wise.    Oh yes, and ready for a nice cup of tea.
