Bloodsports 10

Well I will try and ace the perseverance element of the Bloodsports cos its  Bloodsports 10 and yes I am going to participate.  Of the 3 options I am going to go with  --

KAGAN KRALL- IN THE YEAR 1986!

This option is an exercise in CHARACTER JUXTAPOSITION. Popularized by many movies in the 80s, a character from a set time period is transported to a strange future world not his own. Many movies dealt with this by sending characters to the past, but for this challenge wed like you to bring some kind of barbaric warrior into the world of the late 1980s. everything in his surroundings should feel like 1986, offsetting his rugged and ancient look. you can also take any other approach to this you can come up with that works in the set guidelines. Maybe hes trying to fit in, like the trench-coated dude from highlander, or maybe hes just a shitty version of HE-MAN walking around a video game arcade. You decide!

 KEY ELEMENTS - Barbarian look or feel to the character, 1980s looking environment. clear that he DOES NOT BELONG HERE.

After Bierstadt -Awesome Horse

Awesome horse  have started another season of fun and info.  To kick it of there was a speedpainting demo by Noah Bradley.  The master study was of an Albert Bierstadt work.  It was just under 2 hours.  Above is my effort as I painted along. Noah is really fast and got a good level of finish insanely quickly.

'Jude Law He is the Law' Bloodsports 9

Here is the final image submitted for Bloodsports 9. Below are some of the studies it does not include the Remington copy.

I had the basic image down very quickly but then stalled and fussed with the lighting.  

Masters Study no 3 - landscape

After ? Landscape Study

I completed this landscape study following Sam Carr declaring master studies week.  A lot of peoples efforts got posted on Concept Art.   Unfortunately I could not find who the artist was for this one.  Still a master in my books.  Maybe someone could tell me?  I liked the mood set up with the light and colour.

After Remington - Aiding A Comrade

After Remington - Aiding A Comrade

Following Sam Carrs call to do a master study  on the Crimson Daggers Thread on Concept Art .  I had a go at this Fredrick Remington.  This would be a study and I could apply whatever I could to the image I was working on for the bloodsports challenge which was western themed.  The original is found on the Google art project here.  I had the pleasure of vising this museum a few years back.  Had not seen any of Remingtons art before but it did jump out at me then.

Keeping on trucking with bloodsports 9.  I did some thumbnails.  I have to say I have only used these since starting bloodsports challenges.  This is the first time I really got something out of them - played around with the elements to find something that might work.  When I had figured out what might work i did try to put some colour in there.  As you will see the whole thing drifted from this but I had a solid starting point.
