the biweekly contest at imaginefx theme is “black pearl” so i decided to start with a black pearl. and then it just kind of turned into this. apparently my brain was a little sleepy because this little guy came out of nowhere. i’ll probably fix it up a bit in photoshop yet if i have time for the imaginefx contest.
run away, marblehead!
Visit this picture on the Colors! website to view a movie of how it was painted.
Decided I’d give the Imagine FX Bi-Weekly Rebel Challenge a shot. Theme this time is “Neighbors”. D and I sat and giggled over all kinds of good ideas but none that I’d be able to get done by the 6th. Had just about given up and then just started sketching and this one started to appear.
I’m trying a new style here, more of a hard edged thing on the shadows and keeping the sketch lines intact, just coloring them a bit, and also a bit less saturated than the colors I usually use.
I think this one is my final…*maybe* (click for larger view, WIPs below)
WIPs
I finally got brave and entered my first challenge at ImagineFX. It was the October Monthly Challenge, and the theme was “Witchy”. My goal was just to FINISH by the deadline because as everyone can see I am the Queen of Unfinished Paintings™. I did finish, and am about 90% happy with it because as always there are things I’d like to clean up, but I had to make the deadline. Everyone was friendly and helpful, so I feel like it was a success and am going to try one of the Bi-weekly challenges next.
Anyhooooooooo, here’s my image, this one done entirely in Photoshop, I’ll post up all the WIPs later.
