WIP Shelter,

26th
Jun. × ’10
I’m experimenting with color but I don’t have anything together enough to post it here yet. Part of me wants to give the girls each a contrasting color scheme, like oranges and browns for fox and whites and blues for rabbit, but I haven’t gotten that to look good. It pops out fox, who really [...]

More progress on the flag WIP

19th
Jun. × ’10
My plan for today was to work a lot on the flag wip and finish the sketch base on Shelter or Douglas (probably Shelter first as someone is waiting on that) but a whole lot of stuff happened including getting locked out of the house and having to call a locksmith from my neighbor’s cell [...]

Flag girl color continued

18th
Jun. × ’10
At some point in the process on every image I create I check “Sample All Layers” on blur and smudge and I don’t look back.  Everything from this point on is additive and worked on one layer.  This is where it starts to feel like painting.

WIP FitS Window, Part 11

29th
Mar. × ’10
So I spent all night awake last night… again.  I swear that art happens more easily at 4am, but I cannot offer any explanation.  I did a lot tonight… a lot of tiny tiny things, so I’m going to post some before and after detail shots. First, as soon as I imagined the hands on [...]

WIP FitS Window, Part 8

23rd
Mar. × ’10
I did a whole lot last night but was too tired to post it when I was done and not smart enough to post in a couple more steps as I went along.  Here is the string, and the beginning of color, and a preview of the first round of shading.  I’ve given up on [...]

Moth part 18, refining the face

19th
Mar. × ’10
Still deciding on the hair but I think I will keep it white, which means redoing the texture and shadow for the most part. I lightened her skin which helps the whole composition and she starts to be as ghostly and fairy like as the moths. There’s still a lot of work to be done [...]

Moth part 17, white hair?

19th
Mar. × ’10
In addition to cleaning up the moths a lot I also played with the colors some. I am considering what I have here: her dress is less saturated so that it becomes like the earth and her hair is white so that she becomes another moth herself. It makes her indistinct except for her skin, [...]

Moth part 15, backlit

18th
Mar. × ’10
The horizon is done and I’ve started redoing the hair with the backlighting, and it’s like not nearly as cool as the last hair, so it’s probably where I’ll be focusing attention, while I figure out what to do with the moths! I still keep trying to add strings in my head but I think [...]
