Inclass digital experimentation

So, we pretty much got free reign on what we wanted to do in class since our model didn't show up, so I thought I'd create some color thumbnails for my fanart for "The Fall" (beautiful visuals in that movie) and a character with a technique that I've wanted to try out for a while. I am liking it, a lot.

Here are some quick updates! The top oil painting had to be based off of a conversation between two people, and I decided to do it in Star Trek land (I just love the creatures/everything in that universe). The second one is an update of the "Sea Man" image that I'm putting up the process for.

A couple of portrait sketches are soon to be posted :]

Here's some sketch slides that show some of my process during this final piece for Payne. I used tracing paper to separate the layers and reconfigure overlapping objects. Then, for the sketches, I tend to brainstorm with a list of trigger words and well known imagery/symbolism (and of course, I first decide what I was going to use the image for. Depending the results, it will either be a skateboard design or a mural (or both). It's a pretty flexible image, which I think can be beneficial.

First layer!

Quick lil' update here- here's my final drawing for Payne's class.
