Digital spicing

March 27, 2010

Has been a while that I posted a digital artwork. This one I tweaked recently – it was originally thought for a poster of a game where you can control water. The character design is by Ramon Contini, which you can find (along other cool stuff) on his website.

March 24, 2010

For this one I have one more session. That will be a lot of work to tackle still – I only consider the central body part to be final. I painted the model in a very different position than she is actually sitting, mixing several perspectives into one – which has me moving around with … Continue reading Work in Progress Lake2 →
