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.

Vampirella

Hey Friends! I've been a little busy lately. This is just a Vampirella fanart for halloween. I painted everything in artrage except for the floor and a few adjustments which were done in photoshop. It's a little influenced by Frank Frazetta .
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.

Random Sketches

Hey guys! These are just random sketches I'd like to share.

These life drawings were done some time this week. Me,The legendary Michor and a couple of other friends got together at a book shop to not-so-secretly draw innocent passers-by : )






These ones here are just some random traditional concept sketches. Mostly each concept was done on A4 paper , I just put them together so I don't have to upload a gazillion images. Photoshop is awesome but the pencil is still by best friend. Besides I draw 10X more quicker with a pencil = 0 . these are sort of arranged in chronological order, the last one being the most recent. Enjoy!

Sister Mary And Her Nunsense

Hi guys! Another fun and personal painting. I posted a wip of this a while ago here. I wanted this one to feel like an action movie so I really had the option to play with its elements , and I just really wanted to draw a bad ass nun, lol! It's a little different from my usual humorous paintings so I put together something fun in the close ups which you can find below.

I mixed themes with street fighter 4 with the smoke and ink splatter and all. doesn't it sound like they say "sure you can!"?

Josey in the Jungle

This is a character of mine called Josey. She's a real badass as you can see. This is what my drawing style is actually like, a bit more closer to realistic shapes. the cartoony stuff is just merely spreading my tentacles .
There's an ever so slight blur in the background, its something called a lens blur which blurs gradually into depth so the objects in the back will be more blurred than the ones in front or vice versa. I cant remember how long this took but it was done over 2 or 3 months

'RRR' is or Rich

Hey Guys! Pirate Boobies! there isn't much to this. i try to do something new every time i paint something, like a different technique or type of environment, brush, style etc, This one was the environment , the cat and lighting .This was fun to paint and I'm mostly pleased with the results here and there.
im not sure how long this took but it was done over about 2 or 3 months

Genius M609 Tablet + Photoshop CS2 Rocks! take that you CS3 and 4 users

Bengal Love

Chun Li Noodle Kick

Hey Guys ! its Chun li! eh, i didn't usually like doing Fan art because i felt that people already know these characters and they don't need to see 'em from me, but things have changed.
A lot of people don't really like her muscular legs but i don't mind , no one bit at all. i think anyone who can kick the crap out of a car or brick wall will definitely need some horse legs to do it.

this took about +- 4 Hours

Dragon's Fang's Punishment

A painting of one of my character called "The Dragon's Fang". This is just what happens if your one of her ninjas and you stuff up :D

Lilou and the Zombies

This illustration is for the first plot in Soul Force. Since the characters are inexperienced i figured what better opponents than zombies. The characters think the same but Will be in for a surprise

Lilou Concept

Lilou is one of the main characters in Soul force. The more fun side between her and Cassidy.

Cassidy Concept

One of the main characters From my project Soul force. With him every thing is always grand, like he would unleash his ultimate move first and not ask any questions.He represents the darker side between him and another main character called Lilou

Vai Rolla Concept

Vai Rolla is a character from a personal comic project of mine called "Soul Force". I try to fit it in between other illustrations when i can . I'm still in the concept faze. I've got the story planed out, a few plots here and there and I've done quite a bit of concepts traditionally. I should actually start working on the comic pages soon.Vai Rolla is the glue that keeps t the main characters together .This is kind of the style I want to go with for the comic
