Autumn is here...

Leaves

and the leaves are ready to fall.

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 ;-)

From here to there

I have made a little progress video of the 'Blue' painting.
You can see it on my Vimeo page.

Hey ho, two in a row...

Pink

Blue

Face number 11 and 12. 

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.

Vincent

Lt. Vincent D'Agosta

There is a gem of a creature flick called 'The Relic' which has one of my most favourite screen detectives in it - the highly superstitious, tough as nails, Lt. Vincent D'Agosta who in the midst of fighting a mutated monster also has time to lament his ex-wife getting custody of their dog. Face number 10.

Face paint

Face Paint

Another face for the 29 faces - number 9. No story behind this... except an urge to do some face paint.

Tapioca Tundra

Sanada-san

'Silhouettes and figures stay close to what he had to say, and one more time the faded dream is saddened by the news, it cannot be a part of me for now it's part of you.'

Not sure what it means but I love it... and I love him :-) face number 8 - Hiroyuki Sanada.

Who needs sleep? I do!

Tirion - wip

Face number 7. Leaving it rough but not ready tonight. I'm just too tired. I got half an hour into this and I actually nodded off, woke with a start and realised I had drawn a great big line right across the face. Oh, history tab in Photoshop how I love you :-)

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.
