Sophia the walker

Just watched Walking Dead  season 3 recently, checked out the recap of season 1 and 2. My favorite scene so far was the part when Sophia came out from the barn.

That scene was really emotional. So apparently it stuck in my head last night and today's practice i shall paint her. I'm going to take my time on this one :)

Begin with a zombie pose simillar to the scene.

I work on with the background door first just to understand the tone of the painting so that i wont mess up the coloring. The door texture is done by pure custom brushes no filter or what so ever. I mask them with layers so i can play with the brushes to form the texture.

I fill in the gap after i completed the lines and sketches. And get ready to color with light and dark tones. Normally my method is create the value using  grey scale and overlay with colors but this time i do it with colors

Very light render on the face using light and dark tones. The process is slower this time cause i took my time to try out the brushes which i downloaded recently.

Right now i shape in her shirt. As for the face, i shrink her cheeks a bit sharper and filled in the details. There's more details need to be add in but for now i try to paint another part of her body.

I would say it's 45% done right now... Rendering the pants and shirt. I also reduce the size of her heard. I'm going to paint her hair soon and then her arms and legs including the shoes. Render the whole body and can start adding details such as scars and blood and etc. As long i completed the body then i shall continue with the background.

HAIR!!!!! So far this is what i manage to paint. Somehow her hair looks kinda flat. I'm going to darken the back of her head and lighten the highlights and to make it pop out. Not to mention with her face, gonna adjust some face structure later on. 

lol keep on painting untill i forgot to keep track on it cause i merge the layers....

anyways link to the full painting -> http://burninmaned.deviantart.com/art/Sophia-as-walker-335640448?ga_submit_new=10%253A1351869666&ga_type=edit&ga_recent=1

Over here is the painting without the door background...

Project I survive 23

This is my upcoming birthday digital painting project. For now i've done the sketches of early stage.


Keep in mind, the project deadline will be around october 29.

How to speed paint Natalia.

Another few hour practice, and today i shall try to paint a friend.

This is a step by step speed painting of Natalia. 

1st thing 1st.... think of a pose.

picture the pose and draw a cross in the middle.

Draw a circle behind the cross , follow by an oval shape. And then roughly estimate the shoulder and neck.

I also prepared my color pallets on the top left so that i dont have to choose the colors in the color box.

Note: I did not use eyedropper to color pick on her picture, everything done by observation.

Step 2: Sketch out the outline.... it's ok to be very rough. Important think is the proportion and structure.

Step 3: Fill in the value 

Step 4: Apply light and shadow on the face. I also and strokes on her hair to keep the flow going.

Step 5: I smooth out value and refine the shapes.

Step 6: And some details on the eye, and add a bit color on her lips

Step 7: Keep on refining the colors. Also add more shadows on some areas.

Step 8: Enhance the color. Use a stronger brush with higher opacity.

Step 9: Harder strokes and darken the hair. Add stronger outline on her eyes.

Note: I actually wanted to end here, but then i scared shes gonna kill me so i decided to continue.

Step 10: Overlay to create skin tone color. I refine them again after full color.

Step 11: Make up? meh..... i just add some colors around the eye area...

I don't dare to exaggerated the colors. Also i have no idea, what her original eye color look like, so i just paint violet blue and overlay black.

So more a less done. Speed Painting Of  Natalia.... Took me around 1 to 2 hours ish.

Blink Dagger : Templar Assasin

Hellooooooooooooooo

Painting subject - Blink Dagger.

My second attempt was Naga Siren. I've gain quite a lot of views, but still i can do better.
As for my third attempt breaks into 2 parts of painting. As in 2 painting as one.

I shall start with Templar Assasin.  Ill try to post some process on it.

Here is the rough sketch and pose. Ill begin with the basic shapes and proportion.

Color up the character and fix the proportion and also adjust the perspective as well.... will continue later.

Phantom Assassin.

Supp everyone. Just wanted to share out my fan art from Dota 2 which is Phantom Assassin. Yes it's true that i'm the one who painted this painting.

Thanks for liking my painting and will paint more stuff for the Dota 2 fans soon.

Sketchy

A practical sketh after dinner.

WIP Move Away

New Page for the artbook - I did tons of sketches lately but not sure which want i would like to paint untill moments ago. I found one of my old concept,

The concept is a about the injured main character which carried by some friendly beast. They need to avoid some dangerous area... 

Added some values Just to confirm whether i wanted to continue.

Added colors, this is something that i visualize for the concept. Is indeed very rough, I'll go into every single part 1 by 1 later.

After all the value and visualization, i begin to break down everything and start with the main character's structure and outline.

Process of her face. Working on the face structure.

Added more light and shadows, smooth out the shadows.

Refine the values, block out light and shadows...

Added details on upper body, and i changed the shape and position of the right arm. Next will focus more on the chest to lower body and also the face along with the mouth area.

Basic background, i need to fill in the background because i work too much on the character. Just to keep the flow going, i also add some details on the forest area.
