Digital Painting #3 - Asleep in the Glow

Here is the next digital painting, probably my least favorite of the three so far complete.



This piece was problematic for a few reasons. I'm not thrilled about the composition, the color palette, or the rendering. I tried a bunch of different techniques to try to make it look better, but alas, none of them really cut it.

I wanted to play around with character designs in these pieces, but so far I've been too reluctant. This is the epitome of that reluctance.







Next time I'll show some pages from the long talked about investor's portfolio!

peace,

Digital Painting #2 - Odds Bodkins' Magical Five & Dime

Here is the next in the sequence of digital paintings I'm doing for the ol' investor's portfolio.



I started looking at some of the 101 Dalmations pre-viz artwork about half way through working on this and immediately felt inadequate and stiff in the style I was working. I feel if I was doing this in actual acrylic instead of digital paint it'd turn out more like some of Peregoy's work - more graphic, free, and engaging.

This works for what it is; a colorful sketch to punch up some of the text in the portfolio.
