Another card for FFG's Lord of the Rings Card game. This was my first try at horses. Drawing and painting horses always kind of freaked me out. Looking at this piece again, the one in the back could use another pass but I'm pretty happy with the guy up front.
A card made for Fantasy Flight Games' Lord of the Rings card game from a while back. Painting all the layers of texture was a blast.
Over the weekend Jerry Stinson and his wonderful wife Karen had a small group of artist out to their home for an afternoon of costumed figure painting. It made for a Great day. Perfect weather, tasty food, great company… and painting. Our model was Carolyn. She always brings fantastic costumes.
Wow that week went fast. Rebecca and everyone else involved have put together an amazing program. The tough part now is putting into practice the volumes of information they gave us.
Here's my workspace juuust before getting started painting. The dragon-hotrod on the left belongs to Derek Ring and that tiny hint of shoulder on the right is Drew Baker. As soon as my painting is dry it'll get shipped back from Massachusetts and I can finish it up. I'll post it shortly there after.
Here are three more oil sketches from the museum’s Costumed Figure sessions. The classes are three hours long leaving probably a little over two and a half hours for painting with the breaks. It’s a lot of fun but holy-crap those three hours go by quickly.
Every once and a while Ron Spears hosts a figure painting afternoon at his house. What a nice guy. This is my painting from one such session a couple weeks ago.
I made this a little while ago for 5finity’s VOLTRON: United and Drawn art book. It was a lot of fun. The only guideline was that the image had to be somehow related to Voltron. I got my copies in the mail a couple weeks ago and I’ve got to say that they did a very nice job putting the book together.
