Last of the Spring greens

Eirian

A lil' rough sketch of Eirian the Grass King that I may or may not work some more on later.

Itty bitty progress

Adding details. Still a little ways to go.

Bedtime.

Another wip. This time it's a more casual King Eirian. It's what I like to call his 'road trip' look. I have so many wip's going at the moment. But hey... at least there's plenty to get on with and finish ;-) The trick is to actually choose one... and then get on with it and finish it.

A little wip of elf king Eirian -  based as always on the dashing Bradley James. It’s been a while since I worked on this one… Still nowhere near done. Too much going on right now. But a bit of progress have been made. And I think I’ve finally decided in the robe design

Lil’ preview of another Eirian painting. Yeah, I know… it’s all elves at the moment.

And sorry it’s so long between the art posts too. Things are… well… things… at the moment. But as the song goes ‘things can only get better’ ;-)

Je m'apelle Golden

Eirian - wip

I'm a silver person meself... So I thought I'd annoy myself by attempting my elf king in an o so very golden setting. Seems appropriate seeing as I am mere hours away from seeing Thorin being consumed by his gold sickness. I'm not sure I have enough tissues to get me through the last installment of The Hobbit. When they open the doors at the end of the film the entire audience will be surfing out on a tidal wave of my tears. It's gonna get snotty!

It has been weeks without achieving much painting. I'm just too tired. I can't actually remember how it feels to not be tired. I feel like I'm on constant autopilot, carrying out tasks that have already been pre-programmed into my brain... but anything that requires actual creative thinking is beyond me at the moment. So instead, here's a little study I made for a character painting session a few weeks back. We didn't have a lot of time, so for now I've left his shirt unfinished. The Christmas break can't come soon enough.

The king of sleeves

Eirian - the Grass King

It's been a while since my last post. Still struggling with artist's block. I've often found that I get 'blocked' when I'm procrastinating. I love painting faces, 'cause faces are fun... and they allow me to ignore clothing - which I suck at. I also tend to avoid jewelry 'cause I find metallic surfaces difficult to render. But it ain't gonna get better unless you have a bash at it. And so I decided to focus on this painting of my elf king Eirian - face inspired as per usual by handsome Bradley James/King Arthur from Merlin - and deal with some textiles and accessories. And it's taken a little while... but it's been fun. It's so easy to get stuck in your comfort zone... and then you forget how awesome it is to tackle new challenges, even when they frustrate the crap out of you. 

The bling is inspired by the beautiful jewelry I recently purchased from Raven Eve. Visit her store here - Raven Eve Jewelry
