The completed 'Event Horizon' realism painting I'v

The completed 'Event Horizon' realism painting I've been working on over the last three years - at roughly 310hrs clocked it took twice as long as the previous large scale piece. The central graffiti tag "Odi et amo excrucior" (I love and I hate, it hurts) comes from a quote in Bernard Cornwall's Arthurian series. Apart from a u-turn on some electrical pylons I had painted in on the left hand side background I pretty much followed the thumbnail sketch I posted previously (see last slide). Besides the symbolism mentioned in my last post close-up video there was a few other references: ash cross on girls forehead representing the weight of church led/influenced Irish state on my parents generations, the name of boat, Aaron Beck, being the founder of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (also 'Core Beliefs' CBT concept as part of the graffiti on the tree roots),'To the Hilt' scrawl being a nod to commitments as well as a few others bits and pieces around the place. #concept #conceptartist #conceptart #illustration #painting #realism #driftwood #atmosphere #cinematic #clouds #realism #landscapepainting #art #lighting #draw #drawing #robin #beach #ireland #graphitti

Round up of some of the better weekly digital char

Round up of some of the better weekly digital character practicals I added to my practice routine in late 2021. These are quick 15-30 minute exercises based on six word text briefs. The idea is to try and render gestures and expressions in color as quickly as possible. Most don't work out, looking odd or I'll proportioned, but it's a good tonal/color practice to have in addition to the daily line-based (pen and pencil) notebook stuff #cartoon #illustration #illustrationartists #illustrator #character #characterdesign #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #sketching #sketches #painting #humour #clothing

Notebook doodle - experimenting with watercolor over digital coloring. Still had to adjust/fix in Photoshop abit but the texture is more interesting than flat fills. #cartoon #illustration #illustrationartists #illustrator #dog #doglover #doglovers #doglife #characterdesign #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #sketching #sketches #painting #watercolor
