Punk

Here's something I did this weekend as I was asked by an employer can I create somewhat realistic digital paintings. I decided to go for an old punk. I do admire people who have skills to do realistic paintings and drawings, but I rarely spend my precious time creating just realistic looking paintings as I feel that I can just go and take photo of a similar subject in a minute which would take hours to paint. Doing these kind of portraits is good practice though and when I embark to do one of these I try to pick a subject that is not too common, such as an old punk.

black lion update

I managed to refine the design today a bit. I decided to incorporate some polar bear and panther into the lion (with some fantasy element as well of course) and here is the result. Even though they are suppose to be the same animal I like the side view better as the mane is more smoky and less fire like although less mane like in general but ok in this case.

black lion

Ok, so I haven't managed to update my blog every week, the weeks just seem to fly by. Here is a creature that I have drawn couple of weeks ago. it is not finished as I have spend more time on practicing marker drawing here than actually concentrating on the design as I got new copic markers =). I have a fairly clear idea how I want it to look, I just need to decide on the details. The creature is going to resemble a lion but I do not tend to make it look exactly like one, I want it to have a bit more of a creature quality than an actual lion. It is going to be black and it is going to have a smoke or black fire mane and maybe some rune like patterns (not like the orange lines currently on one of the faces) on its skin, well see. Anyway this is what I have for now.
