WHERE ARE THEY ALL COMING FROM?!

SEND HELP!!

Alright. Zombie-Time!

The G. W. Bush painting I made last week got some pretty good responses here and there on the web, so I decided to make some more (un)dead presidents (they could totally form a band now!).

LET'S GO! Crits and comments are more than welcome as always. These are not dated, in the sense that I've worked on some of them on and off during the week. They're thus posted in order of completion, rather than when they were started.

Bill.

Ronald.

George.

That's all for this week! Hope you guys dig 'em :o

Bush zombie, redux.

Had a bit of time over today and figured - why not - Let's put some color on that zombie president!

Quickie update.

This week sees the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Consequently I don't know exactly how much I'll be painting!
Still, a certain mr. Mike Mitchell said that I ought to do something more with my images, rather than just do value study after value study. He gave me a whole slew of ideas, the most notable one being ZOMBIE-FYING the portraits. Thus a 90 minute quickie on my part today that I'll probably add color to at some point;

xoxoxo

Paint paint. Herp Derp.

Right, lots of stuff happened this week, but here's some paintings!

120 minutes on November 4th

Commission piece painted in about 300 minutes on November 5th-6th.

That's it! Mwaah!

Aaaand some more STUFFS! I had a lot of trouble with these, in all honesty! Tilted head plus light values does not a sense make in my head. Then again I don't really sketch these out with any kind of understructure but instead go straight to painting. I imagine I could've shaved quite a substantial amount of time off of these, had I actually made the appropriate effort and done some sort of basic guidelines for the facial features first. Instead it was lasso tool bonanza towards the end :o

120 minutes on october 26th

120 minutes on October 27th

And that's actually it for this week. Got a bunch of stuff to do for the weekend as well as some doggy-sitting and other things that I'm sure interest you very very much.

Anyway, as always, thank you for looking!

Quick update

I don't know that I'll have time to paint much this week so I figured I may as well throw you an update right... NOW! Yippie, eh? This one took 150 minutes on October 19th. It has some issues that I'm not quite happy with, but overall I think it's done in a style that I could get quite comfortable with and think people might enjoy looking at!

All the best!

Righto! Back in the saddle! Let's DO THIS!!

Painted in 105 minutes on October 11th.

Painted in 55(!) minutes on October 12th.

Painted in 60 minutes on October 13th.

Painted in 100 minutes on October 14th.

That's right, no colors this week :o

I had a blast trying to figure out different ways of painting these though and I'd like to think I learned a thing or two along the way. Thanks, as always, for looking!

See? The calendar goes LOLOOL.

Anyway, slow week painting-wise on this end. Had a lot of trouble with some things. I suspect I may be overcomplicating things.

Painted in 110 minutes on September 27th

Painted in 120 minutes on September 28th

Painted in 120 minutes on September 29th



That's it for this time :o

Then paint some more after that.

Right! Another week has passed and that means... MORE PAINTINGS. Down to four a week now (meaning one a day Mon through Thu), but I still feel like I'm making decent headway.

Painted on September 20th in 120 minutes.

Painted on September 21st in 110 minutes. He's just got the most adorable expression! Who's a widdle woosigoosi frog, den? Who's a widdle woosi oh God it's poisonous.

Painted on September 22nd in 60 minutes (I was very short on time, clearly).

Painted on September 23rd in 90 minutes. Some sloppiness on the tail feathers in particular but I think it gets the point across fairly well.

Aaaand Dee-du-du-dee-dudu-dee Dat's All, Folks!

Well, for this week, at least.
