Daily… An abstract environment
I just started sketching random shapes and a structure started to appear.

Cloud World Concepts
Inspired by some folks I highly admire, see Steam Bot Studios, I present the following.
Prompt: A glowing dome of information surrounds a person as she mixes and mashes together the glowing and encompassing atmosphere of light.

This was supposed to be a speed painting, but much procrastination made it otherwise. ^_^

Figure Sketch
A quick sketch of a figure using the same speed painting techniques I’ve been trying out. The proportions feel off on the figure, one of my weaknesses, but I like the feel.

Cubist Brush
I wanted a brush that I could use as a starting block for buildings are various architectural elements. I created an isometric cube brush in the hopes it would integrate into most perspectives (with adjusting of course).
After I create a few more brushes I’ll make them available for download.
This is the image I created for the brush:

Another One
It’s a fun style to work in. They still aren’t turning out exactly how I’d like, but experimenting is fun. I think on the next image I might work from a reference image and see how that goes.

Rock Brush Test
I made a new rock brush today. I had some fun testing it out and made this image. The image is still a bit flat, I think I could have pushed the atmospheric perspective.

Custom Brushes
I was following along with a gnomon dvd tutorial by David Levy. He shows how to easily create some basic custom brushes in photoshop to use for painting.
I like the speed painting process he uses, I find it very freeing.
