Design should never say, “Look at me.” It should always say, “Look at this.”

I’ve had people insist that I used 3d an photos, despite my assertion that I haven’t. You can see the thread here http://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/2ag3ku/this_is_a_painting_iron_man_by_ryan_lang/ But this isn’t for them. This is for people that like to see the process of an illustration. I tried to break it down, but if there are any questions, please ask. I have no problem with artists using photos or 3d in their digital work, so when I say I didn’t use photos or 3d for this image, it was that I wanted to see what I could accomplish on my own (with a couple of filters at the end). And if after this process post people still refuse to believe that I didn’t use photos or 3d….. I will take that as a compliment.

If 18 or 20 palettes wasn’t enough, I present to you: my 100 Palette Challenge! This is a collection of some of my favourite palettes from color-palettes and Adobe Kuler and I thought it would be really fun to have a huge variety of palettes to chose from

If you would like to participate in this challenge, I ask that you DO NOT repost this anywhere else, including deviantART; please REBLOG this instead! I have the challenge uploaded to deviantART as well, so please check it out there if you want to do it on deviantART!

On being surrounded but never consumed. Quick study for a painting. Wanted to practice not referencing so I caricatured myself.

“So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near-- Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry." It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ." Yes, that is so," said the fox. But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince. Yes, that is so," said the fox. Then it has done you no good at all!" It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields.”  ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Unsa gani pangalan ani? Kalingawan nako adtong yagit pa ko.

I have no idea what these weeds are called. They're little pod things that explode on contact with water when they're dark and ripe like this. They grew everywhere and we used to harvest them by the fistfuls and dump them into pails and listen to the impromptu percussion sets. 

Good times.

I have an overactive imagination. This kinda happened. I used to do graphic design for real estate. Keywords "used to".

It was fun though.

Marketing folks are an excitable bunch and are great to be around! :)

Practicing character design without references. From imagination. Gotta make more work.

Old wax work I never turned into bronze. I loved this concept but I was still a kid and didn't want to go through the hassle of turning this into bronze. I could have at least taken a better picture though. Ha!
