I'm back.

Ok, so here is the deal, I'm back, lol. Anyway enough chat, here's some new images I've been working on over the last month. Basically they're speedies, all within a 30 or 50 minute time frame. If anyone is interested you can also find these on my facebook page 'Maffsart' plus any fully finished artwork I may have done.

Actually this is the finished piece, i forgot the texture layer on the lower image :)

Finally got this one finished, added some detail, polished a few things up, also changed one of the textured layers for a much higher dpi.

WIP'S

Some more works in process, Top image is very experimental, i've gone to like very stylised and textured images, but i also much like how old photographs look, so basicly i'm trying to get that photographic effect yet subject matter and characters withing the image has to look realistic, but still naive like in shape.


The 2 dinosaur roughs i wanted to do simply becouse i havent done any real natural history for a long time, and since i do mainly digital these days, and i do still have this childhood passion for anything dinosaur, then i though it was about time i actualy did something, i still need to work out quite a bit, but so far i think i'm leaning more to the b&w rough, this has a much more dynamic and stronger feel to it. Finished piece i plan to do in full colour.

some new half finished pieces

This image was supose to be for a competition but started it way to late and not working out a proper rough to work from has resulted in it being late, hopefully i can get this finished for a portfolio piece :)

Not sure what to do with this one, at one hand i like the rough unfinished look, but yet i'm also tempted to maybe create a much larger, more polished piece, which i think would also work quite well as a slightly sureal image with also a deeper meaning with the 2 chairs joined as one as they are here.

Been playing with Alchemy again this evening just trying something realy quick and basic, anyway, bottom one is pure alchemy, the other 2 are then altered slightly using photoshop, not sure what to do next, i think some more experiments in photoshop to try and get a more aged sort of look may be better., though i do also like the clean crispness that pure alchemy achieves.
