Fairytale princess

More like a tweenage beauty queen.. wannabe. American pageants were running through my head! She looks a little too conniving to be a true princess, and she's only 12.

A slow down in posts is a good thing as it means I've been busying! Now while I'd never post WIPs of work being done for a commercial client, I will post the sketches that are NOT being used. Without further ado:

Pokemon demon cutie.

Well.. I think he looks like a pokemon. First time i've ever invented a creature I've been happy with. Except maybe the beads. the beads are a bit strange. Anyway below is a pretty good idea of my current painting process! Large blobs of colour which get smaller. Its like a kind of impressionism that turns out looking clean. This is also why its taking me so long to finish large paintings ;D Those blobs get mighty confusing.

I did a brighter, cleaner version of Mr Pokemon (he needs a name..) So if you want him looking a little bit more child-marketing friendly that one is here ;D

Detail for detail's sake.

In all my big sketches I end up putting in so much detail.. referenced and edited and thought out.. which I know full well will be hardly visable in the final painting. I just like to know its there :P Coming up soon: A giant screenshot of all the paintings I have managed to almost but not quite finish this summer. Its on about.. 6? Some day there will be born an organised artist.. and they'd never work because they couldn't figure out what to do with all the money.
