Spirit of the Fox within.

This Challenge is a little out of date to me ,
after all ,I did it in 2009.
Anyway , here it is, using the frame provided by DA .

On this new version , I not only remade the illustration , as I did a 3d BG too.

On these links you can see :

and some making of images of the new version.






I disable the comments for some time because of the spambot that infested DA specially on this contest.

What started as a simple fun sketch in the beginning ends up into a complete illustrations . I simply wanted to try out different way to do a painting, I used to paint in black and white straight into the canvas, using shapes and values and figuring out the details on the go. Overtime, I find that my method has its own flaws. Firstly, the colors are really hard to pin down, unless I have an exact image in my mind or a very good color reference, otherwise I will have to start form laying muddy looking colors layer by layer and do some trial and error too. Secondly, figuring out details on the go and painting it straight with shapes and volumes is hard, some times its just easier to draw the outlines first, just like when we are using only pencils.

So this time, I actually start by drawing the lines first rather than blocking shapes, laying colors underneath the lines to test the colors without worrying about painting over the details. And paint straight using colors rather than with black and white. I could say I was pleased with the results. Painting details was definitely much easier if I drew the outlines first. I am not sure about the colors, with black and white I could concentrate on getting nice smooth values, it was a little harder with colors, but it definitely results in richer colors. (There are 4 demons on the background, the other 3 are miscellaneous but you might find violator familiar..)

Overall I am pleased with the results, I'll just have to find a balance between this new approach and my old habits, or... I could just work harder . Hope you love Redeemer and may you spread his angelic love by faving it Redeemer is a copyright of Todd Macfarlane.

This has been on the backburner for far too long - I just kept getting distracted with other things I had to do. It's quite frustrating!
Anyway, finally I can call it done and move on to something new

Might as well give the contest a shot :3

Finally after 3 days of intensive work, here it is ! My last character design. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Haven't had the chance to enter into any of these comps that DA holds every now and then, but had some free-time and figured wth. Plus I rarely ever paint cars so i figured it would force me to practice on one.

This can be considered quite an old work, the sketch was done way back in 2010, I can't believe I only manage to finish it now, but thankfully, its done. The design was actually based on the Warhammer 40k Horus Heresy trading card game, they have a glimpse of Fulgrim in it. I like the design, yet I find the one on the cards are too simplistic, but obviously the design cannot be too intricate either as it was still on the 30k era.

So I went to add a bit of extra flair too it, without going too intricate in details. I envisioned the Slaanesh blade myself as I have no reference. The weapon has its mark on it, and is emanating an eerie glow that is supposed to be Slaanesh's essence. The blade shouldn't look too demonic as well, as I'd like to think Fulgrim wouldn't exactly use an 'extremely' demonic sword, but he would definitely use a lavishly crafted one, so designing the balance between elegant and demonic was slightly tricky. By the way, on his left hip, there's a bolt pistol, for long distance attack just in case

Wanted to add some vehicles in the skies, but decided that it would be too crowded. Anyway, this was all about Fulgrim, the rest.... are just decorations

Hope Games Workshop can hire me to do another Fulgrim, then I'll promise and do a legendary one Fave it and spread the word guys! FULL VIEW TO SEE THE CORRUPTION..
