Packaging Tape practise

First I want to say that this image is totally a copy of some concept art for Nightmare Before Christmas that I found in a book. So it isn't mine ut I did some neat packaging tap stuff with it. All the orange is color coming out from the under layer

Gravity

One too many potato chips. Thats all I have to say. Here's another scratch board image. It is more successful than the first because the shapes are more interresting and there is some texture in the white space. Pretty cool

Scratch Board

I love the raw chunckyness of the lines in the helmet. This is just a practise and I learned that the cross hatching stuff doesn't go very well with the lines of the helmet. So I won't do that again.

Crash

A storm tossed ship crashing through the waves of the ocean is what came to my mind with the theme of "crash". The ship is based on drawings and models of what ancient Greek war ships were supposed to look like at the time of the Trojan war. The thing sticking off the front was actually used for ramming other ships in battle. There's a random history lesson for you.

Greek Field

Here was my first practice doing a digital painting with texture. It really isn't a Greek field. I just named it that because everything else on the site had something to do with ancient Greece. The painting is a little baren. I could have put something interresting in it but I didn't.

Sprout

Icarus sprouted wings... sort of to escape from King Minos who locked him in a tower for some reason on the island of Crete. There were a couple problems with this one. unfourtunately I couldn't fix them before I had to post it.

What an eye sore

Ok, this looks really bad but I learned a lot about painting in photoshop doing this. It is a portrait of Odysseus.
