even more Hopfrog


Still more from Hopfrog. This is where the King and his council practically force Hopfrog to drink wine. The king loves his practical jokes and takes pleasure in making him drink. Hopfrog is reluctant to drink the wine because it makes him somewhat crazy. This is sort of just a study so I haven't put the hand in there. I'm going to continue with it and I'll post some progress soon.

sketchy fun





Just a few sketches I did over the weekend. A robot, a quick sketch of downtown before it started to rain, and some characters for a game company. My scanner has been stubborn lately and won't scan things in at the settings I would like. This is my excuse for the bad quality. I've been working on a lot of new stuff so I will post all of it as soon as I can and after I figure out this scanner.

Speedpainting


My speedpainting that ended up being about 3 hours. So much for the speed part but I'm learning. It was done in painter 9 which I'm still getting used to. While I love the traditional look you can get with Painter, Photoshop just seems to be more efficient for me at the moment. There are just so many options in Painter that I spend most of my time exploring the never-ending possiblities of each brush and not actually painting. The more I do the easier it will get. Anyway, this one still probably isn't finished and it really has no meaning behind it. I just felt like painting for painting's sake.
