Christmas Chaos Warshrine Present

Christmas Chaos Warshrine Present

As he is a D&D dungeon master I decided to paint him a big monster for his campaigns so his battles would have a bigger impact. I placed magnets in the shrine so the priest can be removed and placed on a different base so different models can be placed on the shrine or you could have an encounter with just the priest.

I painted it with a purple and blue colour scheme as I wanted the shrine to have a garish look and complement the bright gold trim. I also painted the trolls underneath a cool grey so the would blend into the base as if they where no there (like they are unwanted), this really contrasts with the garish shrine sitting on top of them.

For the trim I found out this new way to shade and highlight it My previous method was: Retribution armour - Seraphim sepia - Gehenna’s gold - Liberator gold However the shade was never dark enough so the highlights never came through, so I came up with this new method which makes really deep shades and a really realistic look. Base: Retributor armour Highlight 1: Liberator gold Highlight 2: Runefang Steel Shade: really watered down Screaming bell For the shade you have to be very careful and treat it like a layer so you cant wash it all over the miniature but rather selectively paint the areas you want to be shaded.

For my present I got a bunch of paints :).

It’s been a while since I last posted on here as I’ve had to do so much to prepare for uni and I wanted to spend a peaceful time with my family at Christmas.

Inktober: Day 20 - 21 - 22 Compilation

(20) “Pumpkin Cat”

(21) “Fateful Encounter”

(22) “Witches House”

For my pumpkin cat I wanted to try out another new style this time I went for a more monochrome bold style that uses white lines in-between the background and character to create a larger contrast. I really like this look and so far this has been my favourite drawing. I’m so proud of it.

I used a similar technique on my next drawing but this time I used it on a scene. I like how it turned out especially how the black background doesn’t encompass all of the cobblestone path and how the cobblestone path has a strange perspective on it.

On my last drawing I got a bit stressed so this was my way of reliving some of it. I used a brush pen and a white gel pen to create a very expressive set of brush strokes. I think that the scene looks okay but if I wanted to use this again I will have to develop the style some more.

Inktober: Day 8 “Wizards Snake”

Time for your new adorable slippery friend.

Man this was hard to draw and shade as the snakes body was black but I think it works.

Planning to get a wider variation of grey pens so that I can start shading better with solid colours. Hopefully it will come out better in the scan.

Zodiac Constellation Redbubble Collection

http://www.redbubble.com/people/firbetmakes/collections/613815-zodiac-constellations?asc=u

Finally finished my redbubble zodiac collection after much hard work. It contains all 12 zodiac signs placed on over 40 products 

For this collection I made a normal silhouette set and an inverted set along with two calendar containing all 12 of my different designs either silhouette or inverted.

I may not believe in horoscopes but they make great aesthetics to base paintings and drawings around. With this set I made them using watercolour and them edited them in Photoshop so they would cleaner and more vibrant. I think this gave them a really different style and they came out really well.

Inktober: Day 14 - 15 - 16 Compilation

Now for my next set of 3 late inktober drawings.

(16) “Apprentices Kitten”

(15) “Teacher Cat”

(14)  “Witches Stolen Robes”

With my Kitten I wanted to try and make them look really fluffy, I think I need to practice some more. But I like hoe it’s positioned and what colours I used. On this drawing I wanted to combine crosshatching however because I used an alcohol fine marker the ink blended with the coloured marker :(, won’t make that mistake again.

My teachers cat was a test to try out some coloured highlighting with some green highlights from the green cauldron. I think it worked however I do have practice some more with the size and place of the highlights. The vibrant colours are good but I need to figure out how to get rid of streaks.

For my stolen robes I wanted to try out some clothing and fabric. I wanted to use some soft colour shading on the clothes which I think worked however I have to work on how long the shadows in the fabric was.

Emotion Creatures

Yay!, 7 months hiatus and I’m back!

College final major project for my illustration second year.

Here I created a set of 12 creatures (or monsters) that each represent a different emotion that someone can experience during loss. 6 emotions show the negative effects of loss that someone can get dragged down by that are mostly self-inflicted. the other 6 emotion represent what can pull you out of depression caused by loss which are usually given by others.

There is a lot of dichotomy in these prints as both sets of 6 prints use the rainbow range. Each creature also combines multiple animals and objects that people associate with emotion.
