Master Study - Velazquez

I decided to paint more studies after the masters.
This is a 4+ hours study of "Portrait of Innocent X" by Diego Velazquez. There was a lot to learn here.

Landscape Study

My speed paintings for today (2 hours on each, photo study).

School Project - Refugee 3014

Meet refugee Veluthu, the "Slippery Salmon". It was hard to choose an alien race but I decided he should look like a "generic good guy" and also somewhat cocky.

After his home planet was destroyed, he was detained at the prison facility on  Smawa Theta 11. Prison rulings allows bionic parts as long as they are non-offensive and for prostetic purposes. The cuffs are "ancient technology", but still contain a tracker and have a remote-controlled blow-up feature.

Sea Giant

I miss my years growing up in a town by the seaside. Well, we did not have sea giants, nor did we really needed some.

And here is a close-up of the big fella.

Dark Fantasy Project #3

Another update. This time it's the witch and her decaying butler, the "arisen".
