Octoalien weirdness.....head
Hasn't happened in a while, but creative energy comes at the weirdest times. Here's something I did tonight in ArtRage on the iPad.

Wednesday doodles.
30 minute spitpaints
"Space Docking Bay"- Two goals: One, I ended up watching some Shaddy Safadi onepixelbrush and wanted to try out his essential brushes. Two, I wanted to focus on strong shape making and working within layer masks. I meant to add other ships but it the abandonment worked out. Happy accident.

Master of Sand

"Master of Sand"- A different take on the subject but I enjoyed it.

Back to Spitpainting!
30 minute spitpaints:
"Black Skull"- Not original at all BUT I do like the glass treatment on this one.
"Water bending instrument player"- I like the energy. Really wanted to get that hit where the guitar soloist is lifting up and bending the strings.

"Alien Cathedral"
30 minute spitpaint
- Need to use proper curves to make all the angles to be correct. I dig the palette and will most likely use 3d on the final to set it up.

"Robot Lady"
30 minute spitpaints:
Didn't really sell the "hanging lifeless" effect but I think I'm going to keep working on this one at a later date. Getting the anatomy passable ate up a chunk of time. Inspired by Daniel Dociu's Puppet illustrations.

Tuesday Spitties
30 minute spitpaints:
"Charon"- Based off the idea that if souls weren't buried with coins that they would have to wait 100 years until Charon would allow passage. I like the atmospherics in this one but need to refine the silhouettes of the souls to be a bit clear in the foreground.
"School girl with astronaut helmet"- Well..I told myself that I was going to try and do more character work this year. Ran out of time messing to get the eyes right. Bounce lighting and visor reflections are really lacking to give it realism. A tattooed bar code or insignia on her forehead could be cool too. She seems more womanly than child like.

Friday Quickies
30 minute spitpaints
"Purple Dragon"- Forget flying dragons. I wanted to go with a Komodo feel but have a more muted purple as the base of him. I actually like this color palette for a change.

Monday Spitpaint Collection
30 minute spitpaints:
"Carnivorous Plants"- Two goals: One, I wanted to dig out my custom foliage brushes. Two, I wanted to add vibrant markings to convey a predatory/aggressor type. Probably my favorite spitpaint of the day.
"Medieval Snowmobile"- Well, I liked the idea but just didn't execute the depth I wanted. Really like the lines but need to address the midpoint area and snow strokes.
"Hamster Robot"- "Why stuff your face little hamster when the robot can handle 3 times the load for you?". I liked how the hamster turned out but I could have had the arm fading back into the background, to give it more depth. It's a flat image.
"Bring the Rain"- The AC-130 Gunship deploys a series of anti-missile heat flares before unloading the Howitzer. It forms a cloud formation also know as "The Angel of Death" I thought this idea was fitting but not too fond of the outcome. At least I learned something.

Sunday Spitpaints
30 minute spitpaints:
"Mad Rabbit" -Nothing in mind really. I ended up focusing on his eye too much.
"Country Road"-Had the idea of a run down Route 66 and Kentucky Route Zero in the back of my head.

"White Forest"- Went out to Durham near DPAC and saw a holiday tree exhibit. This was inspired by that.

Rocket Car
30 minute spitpaints:
Topic was Rocket Car. I had two ideas. One was to show some sort of pit area where the rocket cars are being worked on. The other was mainly a chrome surface study.

Spitpaint Friday!
30 minute spitpaints:
"Oasis"- Sometimes the first idea isn't very good but I went with it. Really attempted to show a strong color palette and attempt a mirage/heat type of effect on the horizon.
"Harlot"- Topic was intriguing . Never really painted a subject like this before. Making something look interesting is a whole other story. I decided to put her in a alleyway. Why is she blue? My idea was to have her a colder color. Numb to work and life she's been doing for the past decade. I look to render this out more and fix her pose.

"Hercules Beetle"- Thought of Heavy Metal but didn't execute the idea.
"Masquerade"- Street aftermath was my initial idea. People leaving and conversing before heading home.
