Horseman Attacked - Final

Horseman attacked - Final

This is the continuation of the work started here. I added some more detail and refined the horseman.  All in all this took a while to do. The thing I liked most of this are the colours. I set out to limit those from the start.

I decided to keep going with the personal work.  This one was a challenge as I wanted to get some decent poses.  I started with the the black and white draft then added colour.  I had a reference for the horses pose but the tigers I had to wing it.

Here is a quick lunchtime study of a spanner.  About 30 minutes.  Just wanted to get some still life practice in.

This is the final steps for the image started here.  There was some movement of the figures and addition of some environment.  I did a few different colour schemes but this one was the most interesting and the one that got worked to a finish,  I suppose it is kind of fitting that this is completed just as the Olympic games ends.  The phrase that was repeated most from the interviewed athletes was hard work pays off.  I hope so!

A while ago I did a character  concept  and shortly afterwards a beast.  I had figured they would exist together so I wanted to make an illustration with them both in action.  Above are the first stages of the illustration.  I started out in greyscale to work out as much detail as possible.
