Dwarf Portrait
So I just recently got turned on to the artist Justin Gerard; his work that was Hobbit related was very inspiring to me, so I thought I'd take a stab at doing a painting that was a little more cartoon like. Anyways this was a relatively quick painting, maybe 9 hours altogether in Photoshop CS4. I was trying to go for some old time portraiture so hopefully I nailed it. Enjoy!
Orc Slayer Revised
Yeah so here's another revision, but if you keep up with me you're probably used to that now. After getting some feedback from some highly esteemed artists that have been mentoring me, I decided to to fix some perspective and lighting/shadow issues that were plaguing the original. I feel like this is a much stronger piece now and as always a great learning process. Like anything with art, it's all about refining and learning how to see "more accurately". So, hope you enjoy seeing the process and how it changes!
