Fun with Painter’s palette knife brush. Tweaked the colors a bit on Photoshop.

Lion’s Share

Doodling out a dream about lions and got carried away. Done in Painter and sharpened it with PS. Cheers!

Leyendecker Study 01

First post for 2011!

A J. C. Leyendecker study, from one of his Saturday Evening Post covers.

I plan on doing more of these and most probably from other artists too. Done in Corel Painter. I’m finally getting the hang of it. It took me some time to decide which brushes I’ll be using the most, which is kinda the reason why I haven’t posted anything new lately. I had to try them all, figure out how to tweak them, and to establish a work flow when I’m using Painter.

Cheers and a Happy New Year!

So here’s another fanart that got buried somewhere and I never got to finish it until now. This was started as a sketch right after I got to watch How to Train Your Dragon about a month ago and it’s now at the very top of my list of favorite animated films ever.

Unearthed this WIP I found while browsing some old files. Took the time to develop it further.

Also, I recently opened a daily artblog on tumblr. Most of the stuff found there are actually a mix of experimental styles. I feel it’s a part of my journey in discovering and grasping my own.

Revamped some b/w of the endless.

Some random doodle. A little study on body types I guess.

I asked a friend to make a short story and see if I could develop it into a comic. If it turns out okay, maybe we’ll publish it as a web comic. Here’s something I tried to develop from one of his random free written stories just as a test. It’s actually just the first few lines and I don’t think it’ll go further than this. He says he’ll be making up better stories.

Today I bought the 5th volume of Fables so I’m quite content not to splurge for the rest of the month esp. with my savings dwindling. Haha.

S. White and B. Wolf from Fables. Just something I did earlier this week while I was on a high with the novel. Right now I have to deal with being patient and not to splurge on the next volumes. D:

And also, Delirium. Decided to do this one on color since having her in black and white doesn’t really suit her

More Sandman fanart.

Death

Desire

Despair

Might as well do everyone. Three more to go! XD

Also I’ve started collecting Fables graphic novels. Bought the first 3 books early this week and just yesterday I bought the 4th one. Awesome series. Definitely from now on, one of my biggest inspirations would be James Jean, who makes their breathtaking covers.
