Cranky King
Yudaina - wip |
Yudaina with frowny face. Probably because the lighting is all over the place. Wip of number 23.

Somebody get the compass
Yudaina - wip |
The last few weeks I've been winding down in the evenings by playing the Uncharted games. Probably why I had tatty old maps on my mind tonight. So here's a wip of Yudaina consulting a map. Hopefully he doesn't have the same issues with telling left from right as I do.

Well, it's something...
Yudaina - wip |
There is too much going on at the moment, so I'm finding it really difficult to focus on painting. But here's a wip of Yudaina, based on Sanada-san.

Deklan progress video now on Vimeo
I made a little progress stills video of my painting of Deklan. You can watch it on my Vimeo channel :-)

Hot and bothered
Deklan |
He's from a fantasy sci-fi story I started a looong time ago. I feel I should add here that I write purely for therapeutic reasons... should I ever actually finish one of my stories it would be by complete accident ;-)
Deklan is a hyperspace scout and a devoted older brother - yes... I have a thing about older brothers - and through a random combination of incidents, involving a Star Wars 'making-of' clip and the Sting song 'If I ever lose my Faith', he ended up looking like the charming and talented Marc Warren.
As the song goes - 'I could be lost inside their lies without a trace, but every time I close my eyes, I see your face.'
Well, that was the face :-)

Beautiful Villain
Kenji |
When Hiroyuki Sanada played the role of badass villain Kenji in Rush Hour 3 he portrayed him as such a sympathetically tragic character that I was sitting at the final showdown shouting at the screen 'Why don't you throw Chris Tucker off the Eiffel Tower and let Kenji live? How about that, ey?'
Do I love him, my oh my. River deep, mountain high ;-)

Autumn is here...
Leaves |
I have had a horrible shoulder ache for days now... So bad I can't sit by the computer for more than a few minutes at a time, so no digital painting. Aaaagony! Instead I have been propped up watching The Mummy with a sketchbook in my lap and ice pack strapped to my back. I managed this... pencil sketch with brushpen for face number 13. I do love brushpens. Yes, I know, it's not digital, it's a messy and wet art utensil... what must I be thinking? Well, I may yet give it the digi treatment once I'm better ;-)

Hey ho, two in a row...
Pink |
Blue |
The pink one is from yesterday, but I was sooooo tired yesterday, so I didn't get around to posting it. No story behind it, just wanted to paint something before I fell asleep.
The blue one is from tonight. I fancied an elf and also, I found this picture of this really cool ear pendant with a living plant in it on tumblr the other day and wanted to incorporate it into something.

Tirion - wip |
So, this is Tirion, one of my elves - incidentally from the same story that Tywyll is from. His face is inspired by the almost otherworldly looking Japanese Kyogen stage actor Mansai Nomura. I shall finish this later.

Invincible
So there's a wonderfully talented artist lady from Poland going by the name of Kyoux that I follow on Deviant Art - check her out, she rocks! She has created a whole bunch of really cool characters that she paints and writes about and has invited anyone who's interested to have a go at making their own interpretation of her characters. Looking through her character bios I had an urge to attempt a blue-eyes, white fringed, goatee'd, drug lord of Japanese descent named Sessue.
So who do you turn to for inspiration when it comes to super-awesome Japanese fellas? Well, for me there's only one choice... one of my all time favourite actors - Hiroyuki Sanada. Because... lets's face it... he's probably one of the coolest people to walk the planet.
Or to put it in the words of OKGO
'When they finally come to destroy the earth
They'll have to deal with you first
Now, my money says they won't know about
The thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
Invincible
you're invincible
That crushing, crashing, atom-smashing, white hot thing
It's invincible'

His Lordship will see you now
Bunter |
Anyhoo... for those who are unfamiliar with the the early 80ies BBC dramatisation of the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries... which I must admit I was until quite recently... this fellow here is Lord Wimsey's multi-talented man servant, Bunter, played by the ridiculously charming Richard Morant. Enjoy.

I decided to road test a brush from the 'Ditlev Fine Art' PS brush set which I have had for ages but had yet to use.

Detective Sergeant
DS James Hathaway |
For the past few weeks one of my favourite little exchanges between Lewis and Hathaway has consistently popped into my head. Things are all just a bit like that at the moment.
Lewis: 'You seem awfully chipper this morning, Sergeant.'
Hathaway: 'I'm crying inside sir.'
