Finished Ink Emperor

At long last, the finish of the inktober piece I’d done previously. Although there are a lot of things I like about the simpler version, I was interested in trying it out with much more dramatic lighting and greater realism overall. It’s possible that I might come back to this one to add color so it looks more like a classic painting, but for now, I’m eager to move on to the next thing.

I don’t normally make my sketches this polished, but it made sense to plan out the lighting as well as possible, and it felt a little odd posting it to social media without the rest being just as finished.

The Emperor

I tend to only do works fully on paper when they’re the sort of smaller portraits that I did for 2018’s Inktober. Although it doesn’t usually produce anything worthy of the front page of my website, it’s a fun exercise and can sometimes result in something redoing more elaborately later on- like this one! I’m currently experimenting with angles and more dramatic lighting. More to come on that one!

Little sister

My sister’s portrait was done more as a gift to my parents than to said sister, But I like to think she enjoys it too. I ended ip doing a more detailed value study than I normally would for my personal work- although I doubt I’ll ever delve too deep into purely digital art, it’s a tool I’d like to be more comfortable with.

Captain Marvel

I’m not hugely into the Marvel universe, I’ve only seen a few of the related movies. But I DID see Captain Marvel and although I’d probably say the movie was just okay overall, I had a pretty good dang time and Brie Larson is incredible.

Morrigan

A quick little thing featuring Morrigan from the Dragon Age series. Unlike many of my ink pieces, this one makes minimal use of digital editing/compositing.
