Alchemy cause all the kids are doing it

Just a couple of abstract ones done from some pretty rudimentary alchemy shapes, both have a fairly us vs. them comp.

Crusty Council

Another couple of paints based of the symmetry imagery i made. Basically just head shots of foreign delegates of the intergalactic crustacean council or something to that effect.

Elemental symmetry

Starting to make use of some of the reference imagery that I created last year with a simple little app that takes photos with an elected axis of symmetry.

This is my first usage of it to make some Fire & Water elementals.

Mariner's Call

It's well into 2012 and Ive only now managed to squeeze out a personal scribble due to a hectic couple of months at work.

This one is simply a therapeutic exercise and just started with an old 5min BW thumb and just working into it and finding some story in there.

Glacial shapes aka lasso, smear & highlight

Here's a little lunchtime waster. Just tried to establish a soft fantasy style for depicting a glacial tundra using some random compositions I painted into. I also attached a visual example of the process.

 

Steampunk City

Current work art jam is Steampunk and considering I was a no show on the last jam I had best make an effort. So here it is, the basic premise is that with all that steam born from coal the air would be dense and polluted so the crazy steam obsessed victorians had created large brass 'lungs' to help purify the air. Didn't really want to use a standard figure to set the scene so I went with a horse and cart, nah.

What a Tool

Being absolutely besotted by Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series I decided to pay homage to one of my favourite characters I've met thus far. He is Onos T'oolan the former First Sword of the undead race the T'lan Imass. Tried to stay fairly true to the descriptions I have found throughout the books.
Anyway I'll be hopefully have more to come from this series as its a great world of inspiration.
