The Crying Child

Hey Team, Travis here;


So I thought I would destroy Blake monopolisation of this place with my assignment of the head and hands.
I was trying initially to go for a photo realistic face. I decided not to go with that because the half photo-realistic and half painterly were working out for me.

Anyways, tell me whatcha think. I'm open to any suggestions here.
9-10 hours

hand and face

My head 'n' hands; 5hrs photoshop:

Critiques:
Barney - face (and hand) need more structure and expression isn't really working - hair annoys him
Adam - gets to "furry" on the edges use the eraser; arm is a bit wonky along with neck and shoulder - expression could be better.

Grog McGee

Here's my concept for my pirate and my soldier

Notes: I need to bring grog's head down - his neck feels skinny which doesn't make sense.

neatness

I just stumbled on this and thought it was a worth linking here - it's a good example of how to make a gradient background not look retarded:

Grog McGee

Here is some early work with grog mcgee who will be one of the characters i'm doing for character design:

and this would be the ship he sails on called the black albatros (the ship in the image is the HMS Rose):

Character Design roughs

First Mr. Pirate Man (aka Grog McGee)

And here's some older stuff (newest to oldest) - most of it is unfinished ... because either I'm bored of it or I don't know how to finish it :/

Really fast paint and sketch (in the reverse order ;| ) -about 20mins-

Skoooooool FISH

For digital painting we got our first assignment - a fish; part 1 is just to paint in a greyscale; this is my first couple of hours:

Inception Fanart

Mal from Inception.

i really liked her character, she was pretty awesome. i loved them all, but shes currently my wallpaper. wanted it to be stylized, kind like those fashion kinda drawings? theyre always elongated and stuff, and kinda weird looking. i have this fascination with it, despite the fact i have no reference...haha. and i dont remember what artist did it first...but they always make their dresses turn into things...im sorta obsessed with it, i always draw it in notebooks and stuff, but i dont care! its pretty! coloured roughly like how adam suggested. i need to get more brushes...serioully.

what ya think? anyone alive?

Howl's Moving Castle

Fanart for howl and sophie! i was watching it and decided to do it! i hate colouring, so its really rough, and for some reason all my cool brushes decided to run away! yay! comments are appreciated!

ALSO! this was coloured with a mouse!!! not a tablet!! so it sucks moreso cuz of that.

WUT

But as you can tell, I had a bit of an issue while working on it and just decided to do something else ^^

P.S. I don't know why it's so big >.<

It's just a sketch. I don't really plan on finishing it. But it's just a random idea that I had and sort of put out there. Just showing that I'm not dead xD
