WIP Shelter, softening up

24th
Jun. × ’10
So the story behind this one. Miabella Foxley approached me some time ago asking me to do a custom piece for her brand mfox.  She was looking for concepts with animal masks, rabbits and foxes specifically, and this is my take on it so far. She’s asked other artists, but I don’t know who they [...]

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.

8th
Apr. × ’10

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 [...]

Mar. × ’10
I have been listening to the same few songs over and over again which helps me focus, and have been motivated by some kind words. I really really want to try to get her done before I sleep.

Moth part 8, hair color

14th
Mar. × ’10
Changed the background color to warm everything up while I color it. Right now the hair color is too flat and… I don’t know how to describe it. It needs to be warmer or more blue. and I will fix that. I’ve already started shading it with a dark blue and I’ll add some texture [...]
