joe- exciting speed paint. lots of energy.

dead- composition seems to be coming along, what are you thinking for background? are you looking at countless fire reference?

pogo -The comp with girl in renaissance dress is coming along! looks beautiful.

charc- awesome idea with  the ultrasound, confused nurse. Lucky mom :]

I'm reworking pose and figure. Will shoot reference if I can find a damn digi-cam. I should really pick on up one of these days. 

snap to that!!! Stop being so dam good aye. grrrrr

Quality work all round!!!! :D

thanks Radio24! 

i was inspired by your image actually, kinda made me want to try some ideas out. so cheeers! 

 i really like what you've got so far! 

ermm..i was bored this evening so i thought i would work on that painting, just to see what i could do with it.

this is how it looks so far, im not sure what to do with the space on the right, it's been bugging me, the random shapes an lighting made me think of a corridor,

which i kinda worked it into to see how it would look... but hmm, would need more attention, other idea was to add more of whatever that thing is, which could look kinda cool,

or put more..in the corridor... two birds! .

i dunno, ill sleep on it an see in the morning, with fresh eyes. :) 

here it be!

x 

some gret quality images coming along here already. almost makes me not want to even try.

am trying at the moment to think up a good idea for this but am only spewing out utter rubbish so far. here's my little doodle page scratched together with very bad writing.

will try to produce a quality image for this once i've settled on an idea. 

Ah i forgot to say!! 

 Radio24 - i know the lines on your update are most likely instructional guidelines, but i think they work really well! they give the image a really nice stylised look, makes it look pretty dynamic. 

would be sweet if you could work them into the piece somehow.  [thats if you like them too :) of course] 

just wanted to mention that ^^ 

 Take Care!  

joe- thanks for the crit on the lines. I was actually thinking that I liked them myself- but I'd  have to find a subtle way to incorporate them- possibly refer to the drawing as the inner demon. your piece is getting quite dynamic. I might even pop that hand out even more and make it more of a threatening grip, or whatever. Good opportunity to use hand gesture for character expression.

I just experimented a bit in PS and kinda liked what came out of a few layer blends. I'm no sure how much relevance it will have to this piece. I like the color scheme it gave, i may be able to milk that but i'm not sure what else. a fun break anyway
 

The added color is starting to help give it some depth Radio.  

And for those who are thinking of not participating -  Probably the smartest thing you ever did because I will crush you... Just teasing!!!  Really though you guys need to get in here and show us what you got.  Just because your skills are not up to par with someone elses doesn't mean you don't participate.  There are plenty of people that would look at my stuff and say eh...  Just remember there is always someone better.

My rant for the night. Oh and here's an update.

118277                            how do I know if this link works or not??

martinmckeown:

Quality's that good I may not even try this one at all!!!!!!

Weazel, Tector, I'm lovin it!

Testing W.I.P linking 

Ok that works so it's just normal linking.

Easy Guide for those confused: 

-Copy W.I.P URL from the number of your post (This is the first number on the top right of your post)

-Highlight text in the content of your new post, the link in the message composite box will become active.

-Click it and Paste your individual message URL

-Repeat for multiple W.I.P. entries.

Well done.

@ Joooeii - getting really menacing, that demon :) Looks really great too. What happened to the orbs though?

@ Radio - tbh, I really liked it more with the skull being in the background as subtle lights and shadow and the focus being on the demon/angel thing. Or do you intend to blend them?

@ Weazle - damn it, man, it's really coming along perfectly :) Just love the expression of the demon under the right hand of the spawner thing. Still, I have to say I also really liked the background that you had before, as it gives a sense of story and consequence... They make you literally see who's gonna to have to deal with the demons and feeds the imagination on to what's going to happen next

 Anyway, I'm working on my thing as well, but im starting to feel that I've messed up the overall composition. I changed the cross, trying to take attention away from it but it feels like it doesnt fit even more now, so perhaps I should change the position of the hand (and thus the cross as well) or maybe take it out alltogether or replace it with something else?

Radio - yeah, I'm using a lot of reference, and it seems I need to tighten the fire up, see what that does to it. As for the background, I was thinking to situate it in an open field, with a few distant crosses and tombstones under the moon light...

Here's the next WiP - more or less the same, I'm just redrawing the bottom part with a bit more detail and working my way to doing the demon and the smoke behind it. Fire away with comments and suggestions, especially regarding composition and rearranging elements inside...
