Thanks!

Dawn of the Round Table

"Dawn of the Round Table"

Photoshop CS3 around 14 hours


Another space theme, inspired by EON. I feel like i spent more time looking at the piece than painting it, went back and forth with a lot of the elements in this picture. There were also quite a few direction and lighting changes through the process. the way how i started this piece limited my options, so i struggled to push this piece further. I'd say I'm ok with the result, and feel like i need to learn another approach for starting images.

thank you, and i hope you like this one

Popbot?

a really spontaneous painting without planning or thumbnails, still haven't quite grasped the speed painting technique i was after. definitely need more practice.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

A fan art of the new Castlevania game, the new female lead is absolutely hot, and i almost creamed myself watching the new trailer. couldn't resist but to do a fan art of her. ha.


this is loosely based on the new Castlevania official art
style.

i hope you like this one, and the game as well! you owe yourself that much.

Gunslinger

Photoshop cs3 1 hour

a spontaneous character speedpainting. went with a fast and sketchy technique. the outcome is quite unfinished.

thinking of doing more in this style, but i'm exploring more possibilities to take this further. and eliminate the unfinished look to it. will update this post when a more presentable solution is available.
