Stressed!

 

So deadlines are getting closer and closer and the panic is really beginning to set in, therefore it seems I have become a concept art producing machine! With at least 50% of one of my races still to go I'm really having to put the hours in, thankfully I enjoy painting so it's not too much of a chore.

 

Above you can see the very nearly finished designs for a nord marshal and foot soldier. To contrast with the other two races I've really pushed the armour on them, so lots of bulky shoulder pads and a much larger amount of metallics. The masks are hopefully going to be the big distinguishing feature, with each member wearing one of these elaborate gilded masks. They also tie back into the backstory of these guys, with them belonging to the clan of the silent man. each member of the clan must at all time hide there face and it is seen as a crime to show yourself in public. I also have some helmet designs, clan emblems and a bear knight to show you guys so just bear with me and you will see them soon ;) Till next time!

Ghosts Of The Webway

 

 

So I should probably be doing university work but I couldn't resist doing some fan art after picking up the harlequin codex last week, the background for the solitaire really grabbed me when I read through it so I couldn't resist doing a painting of one, he was also a test to see how well I could use gradient maps to colour my greyscale paintings, I think it turned out pretty well and it looks a lot nicer than my old method of colouring.

 

 

The second picture is another attempt at trying something new, which is to try and have a painting that tells a story, instead of just being a flat character piece or an environment, its still a work in progress though as I'm not happy with the poor guardsmen the harlequin is about to jump onto. Till next time. 



Getting A Little Creepy

 

University is getting pretty tense at the moment so I haven't been able to upload as much as I want to in the past few weeks, however I can't leave you guys hanging without any new work, can I now?? Above is my first pass at creating some fanatics/zealots/mutations for the children of odin, if it looks weird and disturbing to you then I have succeeded in what I was trying to achieve! I have some even weirder head designs too but I haven't yet finished them.

 

I was trying something a little different with these guys technically, instead of my usual render everything to death, I attempted to try and be a bit more loose with my brush strokes and suggest things rather than painting everything out. It was a fun little experiment and I certainly finished these a lot quicker than previous piece of work. Till next time.
