Zhimfalric the Warrior, the entry for Outcast Odyssey's contest on deviantart...

Has been recently giving time sessions for a painting to be submitted on a contest, the contest will end tomorrow and thanks the piece was done before it. The contest's name is Outcast Odyssey Card Master Challenge, a hosted supported by deviantart once again.

Here are some images compiled and animated to show the painting processes done.

And here's the final artwork, though when posted on facebook's level up, there are critiques mainly in the areas of the right arm and it needs to be fixed, luckily got in time to do it. This is a barbarian and warrior of some sort, assuming this belongs to the realm of nature and a hero class. For a much clearer view, you can look at this on deviantart or click this link, Zhimfalric The Warrior.

Daily Spitpaint for January 2015..

Here are some spitpaintings for January, a good start for the new year.

Finished photo study session from Conan The Barbarian Movie screenshot..

Finished another photo study session and this is the first one for this year of 2015. The object was from a screen capture of the movie Conan The Barbarian. Below is an animated painting process images.

Here's the actual work space with the palette and time frame. It has been effective since a session like this was started. This is the 4th session with a work space like this where there is no zooming in or out and no color picking. The first attempts was a good start and the preparation was not that hard too. Before starting this, arrange your work space and set the reference at the left side, then after that try to guess and colors you see on the pictures then set it in a new document and plot the colors. As you go through, your palette will have more colors too.

Here's the final illustration.

Some unfinished studies for this month...

Doing photo studies is the thing I observed that others do in order to improve their understanding and used of colors. It's fun and I think it can really help someone build a step by step foundation to become better. Here are 2 unfinished things for this month and would probably complete this before the next month.

The first one is a fan art for Overwatch developed by Blizzard, the character Winston is cool and this dude rocks on the youtube trailer.

This one here is another photo study session, the character is from Conan The Barbarian movie, Conan himself.

Here's my last portrait/photo study for 2014, Happy New Year!..

It's a good thing, 2014 was a lot ups and downs but it was an exciting year. Let's become more productive this 2015, learn and grow to achieve things for this year. Here's the last study for 2014, this is a screenshot from the movie Hercules which stars Rebecca Ferguson as Ergenia.
