Illustratastic!

Cherryblossom suggested maybe I should share some of my artwork here. I most certainly don't mind so here ya' go, I'll post some of my work and sketchbook pages up here.

Life Drawings & Sketchbooks (Omitting full nudity, just in case):

10 Min. Study, focus on coracobrachialis and the pecs attachment

10 Min. Study, focus on overall arm, upper forearm muscles - brachioradialis

Orc design page

Thumbnails for upcoming orc illustration (Personal project)
I draw so much violent stuff - such is the way of the fantasy illustrator!

More thumbnails for upcoming orc illustration!
All of these ideas are just thoughts, sketches - composition studies in value and focal areas. Silhouettes to make sure everything is readable. This later turns into a full size rough where I work out the fine details and then it goes on to the final drawing and painting. These are done in Adobe Photoshop CS5 with a pressure sensitive tablet.

Creature design for a contest I never got to enter because I'm too busy with dealing with PTSD, you stupid PTSD thing...

That's all for now. It's image heavy. I'll post some final work up here - maybe this'll help encourage me to keep going when the monster has me.

Absolutely amazing!!! :applause: Could you imagine any one of these scary powerful figures being you fighting the Monster (PTSD) or at least coming to your defense? I would have loved to have such talent to draw myself a defense team against my abusers. I love using visual imagery during therapy. I can come up with ideas, but I don't know how represent them...

These are AMAZING! I'm so glad I wandered onto this thread to see them.

Thanks everyone! I've cooked up another and dug up an old painting that I never finished. The old painting took me 20 hours of solid work, figuring random things out. This new one took me 2.5 hours.

Old Painting:

Latest [Portrait of a Satyr]

These are fantastic!! Wow. My good friend Cheryl also paints in oils, but nothing as powerful as this! I am an amateur myself, just drawing stick figures and random designs, but love to express feelings in my work, enjoy it a lot. It can be soooo absorbing to do and brings out stuff I never knew was there before. Cheryl had inspired me and this work is inspirational too I think. Keep up the good work! And thanks for sharing with us. :thankyou:
