Speedpaint from yesterday

Hey! Here are some studies and wizard commission.

Hey! Finally get to show this poster I’ve been working on for the movie “Legend of the Golden Fishcake”. It’s probably been the most difficult thing i’ve worked on, the sheer size of it ( 8000×12000 pixels) made my computer cry … Continue reading →

Two paintings I did today. Im trying out something where I spend like the first twenty minutes of painting looking at the ref and the rest of the time (1-2 rougly) trying to paint it from head.  

Spent most day drawing in my sketchbook but managed to do some quick digital stuff too. Colorstudy and some choppers from imagination..

The tiny thumbs was a fun exercise where I set a timer at 15 minutes per painting. The other environments where about 20 minutes each without ref. I also did some character sketches.
