Temple in Sandstorm

I have been working on a couple of bigger projects but I managed to play around with this.  I was practicing some basic isomorphic design and then went ahead and played with some more Photoshop animation.

As promised another installment of the seascape project.  Still lot to work on here hopefully I can keep some momentum on these.  Other work going on but will do my best to keep it going.

For as long as I have been painting this is my first seascape in traditional media.  Even this is a bit timid but I plan to do a few more of these.  On the other end of the spectrum I did a gif just to wind down.  I am streaming these warm down sessions on Twitch so you check out the VODs or catch me live.

Its been a challenging week - some hard lessons learned.  Most of my time has been spent doing client work and that old classic freelancer experience of working and not been paid- watch out for that one.  Fortunately it is not my typical experience so far. Anyway I did get a little time to try out some simpler rendering - producing the 3 Matisse.  
I also returned to my roots doing pencil work.  It was what I started out doing and I deliberately avoided it for the past number of years.  Forcing myself to work with the unforgiving pen.  It was a bit of jolt to realise how imprecise the mark is compared to the pens.  I ended up having to take the image into Photoshop to clean it up.
