Its a mastercopy of Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velázquez portrait of Juan de Pareja, it took about a total ten hours to create, over a period of five days. I had tons of fun doing this and I cant wait to hear what you guys think.

This llama skull was based on a scanned wax pencil drawing that was drawn form live (or in this case dead) reference, since most of the form building and drawing was done in the scanned drawing, it was pretty easy to replicate that in Photoshop. The challenge laid in trying to create color in the mostly white skull and creating the textural details.

I've always had a fascination of things in real life that look familiar yet are abstract and alien in shape. Drapery has always been one of my favorite subjects.

I think I had just seen the remake of King Kong when I painted this, and I really felt like painting cityscapes at sunrise.
The robot was created to give the image some visual interest.

This is one of my first digital paintings - it took me forever to make, and there are some things that are still kinda off - but I still like it nevertheless.

At one point I just needed to take a break from the "scary creature" that I usually paint, and just do something that was friendly and cute, so along came Marvin ]]> Mon, 15 May 2006 22:39:17 +0000 http://corvax.cgsociety.org/gallery/357872

This was done in Photoshop - it began as a kind of exploration sketch and developed organically into a more finished piece.]]> Mon, 15 May 2006 22:34:17 +0000 http://corvax.cgsociety.org/gallery/357637

This is a speed painting of a chiuaua. These fast sketches are exciting because often the best parts about a painting happen within the first steps of it's development.]]> Mon, 15 May 2006 13:12:09 +0000 http://corvax.cgsociety.org/gallery/357663

Another speed painting. This one was done using a gradual zoom technique, where start you of with your image zoomed out to a very small size and then gradually move inward. It's a nice technique because it keeps you on track with what's important in your image.]]> Mon, 15 May 2006 14:07:36 +0000
