Badass Red Riding Hood concept WIP

Hi guys! This is an idea I had of a Badass Red Riding Hood. I started with a pencil sketch which you can find here and then I speed painted to work out my lighting and I'm currently cleaning it up at the moment.



Another speed paint for an action shot to work out my composition and lighting. I'm not sure whether to go with a werewolf or just a regular wolf . Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Cheers.

Expose 8 Released!

Hi Friends! As some of you may know ,Expose is a compilation of the Finest digital art in the known universe. I'm very happy to announce that Expose 8 has Finally been released and I'm very happy to be part of it. My work was selected for the book and you can find it on page 212 of the book and what's cool too is that you can also find my very very good friend Michor's work directly opposite mine. When I first started digital painting (about 3.5 years ago) Books like Expose were a good source of inspiration and at the time I never even dreamed of ever being part of any thing like it, now I'm simply just blown away that my work is featured next to many amazing artists. Thanks for all the support, guys! hopefully I inspire young and fellow artists to push on further .Go get a copy!!!

Power Suit Concept

Hi Guys! This is my latest art work. I was looking through some of my sketches and saw my first not-so-good attempt at this concept, so I decided to give it another try. I wanted to design a mech power suit that opens up to reveal a bad ass pilot and also a bit of what the in side of the suit might look like. Inspiration for this came from fighter jets and military trucks. With this I played a little with combining textures and textured brushes and also with the lighting and colour scheme.

All crits and comments are welcome.
