NUTS!

Just a guy I saw at the coffee shop this morning.  Did a quick number during lunch on him.

Dames n Monsters Emerald City Con Process

It's dirty, but here's a quick process collection

Steps by Image:

1.  I made 4 thumbnails for the composition. I made about 20 coming up with the "idea".  Then narrowed the thought of kick ass woman meets wormy thing

2. Inked the lines in Sketchbook pro

3. Started coloring the fire and the Dame.  NOTE TO SELF:  Don't color this way next time.  This is where I usually do color comps but I just wanted to be different this time.  You'll see how many times I changed colors around.....

4.  Started in on alien world green and the worm (started creating problems for myself color wise with no comp to start from)

5. Refine Edges, highlights, Rim Lights starting to be added.

6. Started to dislike color scheme so i try to "break it" to see where it's wrong.  I go to extremes to fix the issue.  ( added an overlay of a watercolor print I had)

7. Realizing Color green was wrong and destroying comp chose to stick to all warms and keep Dame in Cools for contrast.  Also realized her face was half assed so redid it and made a real face instead.

8.  Now that it was fixed in my minds eye, color fixed to match and desaturated back to what I liked.  Added better "pincers" and made sure focal point was established.

That's about it for this one.  Ugly I know.  I am looking into a screen-grabber to do this for me so it's an easier process next time.

Some of the prints going to Etsy and the store.

Part of the Robots in Disguise series I did.  Prints will be $5 signed.  I'll have it up by the end of the weekend if you want to help a feller out ;) 

Mysticity

Got some free time and I've been inspired for more environments.  If I can find the source file and layers (I collapse more often now) then I'll post a progression of this one. 

Even more observations

Met up with the Pop cap group in Seattle yesterday.  Here's the stuff I was messing with. 

Peer-Yods

The everlasting Peer-Yods.  Beware when they come around!  Devilish little imps, they whisper lies and distortions into the ears.
