New Year time!

Anyways, haven't posted in a while, mostly because I've decided not to update with only one picture at the time, since no one actually reads this stuff :)

So, here's a bunch of blah things plus day one of a 100 day still life challenge I entered.

Stuff

First, some studies. Sargent and crappy environments:

Aaaaand, the long since coming, sorceress redesign. Decided to change the pose a bit from the first redisign plan, and I made it a bit more actiony. And no, "actiony" is not actually a word. ;)

More value studies

Continuing the value study week. Here are Bouguereau and a random photo study. I've thrown in some bad figure sketches as well, since I wanted to try out  Glen Vilppu's figure drawing technique. It's actually really helpful and awesome...

Value studies

Here's something I needed to start doing a while ago. Studies. Lots and lots of 'em. Starting with value studies of Makovsky and Sargent, so here they are.

Malagard, the Hag Countess

Meanwhile, I've started a CHOW at CA. Here's the final image, I won't be posting it to the finals since she has no wings and doesn't fit the brief, but here she is nevertheless :)

Some studies

After trying to do some of my own images recently, I've come to a conclusion that I can't really paint. Here's practice. Skin in cold environments and various lighting. So, Magneto, really unfinished boobies that I got bored with, and a portrait that is, for some reason, wrong, but I can't pinpoint why.
 

Icicle

Well, it's been surprisingly cold a few days ago. Freezing my ass off was kind of an inspiration to finish the sketch I've already posted, so here's the result :)

Daisies

Well, been listening to a lot of Jonsi lately, so here's a cheerful one. ;) I suck at hair. And drapery.
