Sketches 5

Yip.  I am making my way through Band of Brothers DVD to get practice with the poses.  Try to look for dramatic poses and then get them down in a few minutes. Some or a little more successful than others.

Character King Arthur

King Arthur Character

King Arthur - Japanese

The Crimson Daggers are currently running some mentoring sessions.  I did not apply for any as I was concerned that I would not be able to give sufficient time to the lessons.  There is no problem taking some of the homework from the sessions.  I am having a go at Character development .  It is something I have done very little of.  The series will be characters from the King Arthur myth but the twist is that the characters must be from a different area/culture.  I chose Japanese Heian period.  Not too excited how this one turned out.  Will try a different approach for the second one - Merlin.

Keeping the sketches going and did this mud photo study to help with a personal piece.

House of Horror

Did this as a matt painting exercise at Halloween.  I started out with a google maps image and dropped some textures painted then lit.
