Played around with some images layers and textures for this one.  Could have ended up detailing this forever but time to move on.

Sorry I missed the post last week.   I was away and because of that the productivity was down for last week. So a simple wolf.

This is a picture of two halves.  The background which came to together very quickly and easily And the foreground which is a bit of a mess.  I put this down to not having a clear plan on what I needed to do.  In any case I am calling it done and will carry the lessons learned forward.

 Did Not start a big piece this week.  Instead just played around with characters and styles and approaches. 

In the image above the lady is a study of a model from this site  Dorgmal Snow   http://www.1-6th.co.uk/.  The pose was what was interesting but the design is really nice too.  The same for the axe guy which is a sculpt from http://pintordeminiaturas.com/.

Tried to do something more complicated in terms of composition here. As ever whenever I try something way outside the comfort zone there is lots to be learned.  This one went at a very fast pace initially but slowed way down with detailing and fiddling with the rocks.  

Waifs and Strays

Time was I was very disciplined about finishing everything I started.  It was a good way of forcing myself to work through problems.  As time has gone on I have accumulated a lot of work in different states of unfinished which sit in a work folder.  I dont know if its a good thing or not.  Of late it is typical that I will work on a few different pieces at a time so some just  get forgotten about.

A switch back to traditional medium for this one. Done in gouache.  Finding it hard  to preserve areas for highlights.  Certain if I was to do it again would have tackled it a bit differently.
