Manatee -Photoshop Study

Manatee Photoshop Study
Manatee Photoshop Study
After abandoning the Samurai armour study I committed to going with an underwater theme.  To aid with this I did a study of this manatee.  Reference was from National Geographic site (a great resource).  This image had an interesting subject and a great environment.  I did not finish it out it was probably an hour and a half.  Did a chunk of that during lunch break.

Samurais-Photoshop Study

Samurais - Photoshop Study

    

This was a Study I did just to get familiar with the armour for Bloodsports 6 challenge.  It was not polished to any extent.  Just got some major shapes down to get ideas for construction.  As it turns out I didn't end up using the information here.

Water Flea Study for Bloodsports 6

Water Flea Photoshop Study
Water Flea - Photoshop study


One of the National Geographic Best Micro-Photos of 2011 (Joan Röhl, Institute for Biochemistry and Biology/Nikon Small World).  

Started out prepping for this challenge. I had already decided that this was going to be a water dwelling creature.  Did not want to get into the fierce beasties as I know I need way more practice with those.  I really liked this image of a water flea - limited pallet - something  know I need to practice on plus the idea of being able to see internal organs.

Bloodsports Challenge Miyazaki Re-Marketed! final

Miyazaki Re-Marketed! - final


Here is the version submitted for the Miyazaki Re-Marketed! Bloodsports Challenge.  As ever I would have hoped to put some more time into this. I think I may go back and work on this a bit more.  I have to say the detail I looked most in this was this- 
Spirited Away











All told this bit took about 10 min.  What does that say..

Comps for Miyazaki Re-Marketed!

Comps  for Miyazaki Challenge
Here are the thumbs and comps for the last Crimson Daggers Bloodsports challenge.  It was a close thing between these but in the end I worked up the one on the bottom right.  To be honest I should have done some more work on this composition.  It changed a lot after this point which I suppose is not best practice.
