Piano At The End Of The Year

The end of the year is a strange place. It comes too fast but at the point the clock turns, with the cheers and the music and the hugging, the world slows down again. Everything resets. Another round. A new start.

Drawn entirely on an ipad pro, in Paintstorm. I actually took this picture last year and started this during the party, right there in front of the After 8s but then I abandoned it till December. And I thought why not wrap this up for New Years? But then I went down a detail rabbit hole so I just finished this.

American Sweetheart / Martyr

Sometimes I think of racehorses. I drew Ruffian.

Running from his fate

Oh, traveler What have you seen? Were there crossroads Where you been, where you been?

Being very normal about Red Dead Redemption 2 again.

John Wick

I recently got a tablet for painting while on the move so I got familiar with it by painting my favorite movie character. Not entirely sure about it but happy enough to call it complete.

Made in Paintstorm.

You see that comin’ fire?

“Vengeance mine” sayeth he

And to die beside the Boneyard Rider

Such is doom and destiny

The Boneyard Rider, The Kill Devil Hills

Silence is golden

Tricksters know when to be silent and when to talk, weaving their lies and deception...

In Maidjan Study of the glorious Maria Franz of Heilung, such an incredible voice and screen presence

Bride

She came to me in silk and armor, ready for battle and for vow. She held a plain sword, a knight’s sword, sharpened. “This is my dowry” she said “A mother’s gift, to strike you down should you raise your hand on me”

Satisfying my need to paint dresses and ornamental armour and also trying something more Baroque-ish.

ZEIG DICH

Rammstein was an absolute banger of an album and I had to mitigate the shame of having never painted Till Lindemann before

[artiemuchart]

Angel of Death 

“I’ve been waiting for you both many a winter moon...”

Iconic character from Hellboy 2 and my favourite depiction of the Grim Reaper.

You are a pain in my ass you know that?

I’ve been dreaming of painting this since I saw it first at the cinema, such a painful and well-acted scene from both Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner. That head touch broke me.

I’m still experimenting with colour and colouring in SAI as well, which lacks the Colour mode from PS but I was able to achieve this with an overlay layer, set at about 65% opacity. I found it works similar to something I’ve seen to a Bob Ross video, where he applied wet blue and red paint on a dark canvas and used white and greys to bring the colour out.

A friend comes in the morning

When in doubt fire up a Bob Ross video and make happy little mountains.

Amazon showing off

I thoroughly enjoyed this painting even though I may have conjured muscles out of thin air. Made in Paint Tool SAI.

Hawkeye

Portrait of one of my favourite Avengers because I adore him and also practising with different faces. Done in a combination of Paint Tool SAI, Krita and PS.

Reanimated Philanthropist

First painting after a loooong hiatus due to work. Person of Interest would make great cyberpunk and you cannot change my mind.

Made in Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop.

Khal Drogo

Finally gathered my remaining brain cells to complete this between assignments. I miss him.
