Walking you through my process for Attack of Gyarados

As you can see, I considered several more traditional monster types before settling on Gyarados. Then i worked with different layouts, which is the reason for all of the tracing paper, and finally i transferred it to the board to paint.

Downtown paintings

the result of my downtown painting. The fountain still needs more work, obviously, as well as it being a rather crappy photo.

first half of a two day painting

About three hours of work in, will post again when finished.

Gyarados is PISSED

For this assignment, we had to take a master's illustration, found here http://www.bestpriceart.com/vault/wgart_-art-b-backhuys-storm.jpg, and retain a third of it in faithful reproduction, and then update the other two thirds, adding contemporary scenarios. As the children of the nineties will recognize, I added Gyarados attacking the ship.

I still have a few hours left on this piece, so I will upload again when I have more progress.

Postcard assignment

The assignment was to create three postcards representing a certian place, one was to be a landscape, the second a person, and the third an object. I, obviously, chose outer space. The place is the horse head nebula, the person is an astronaut, and the object, well, if any of you are able to tell me what that is supposed to be, you win a cookie.
