Mr. Shades

Following the tutorial by Daarken but I went with a different style. I found it difficult primarily creating a silhouette then creating the shapes as I couldn't seem to develop a flow of ideas on the fly. So I created a rough silhouette of the shape I wanted to end up with in a dark grey then used black to draw in the key shapes and areas. I am some-what happy with the outcome but I do feel as if it's a bit too 2D in some areas such as his chest area. Some areas are a bit out of proportion too. If I did this again I'd make sure I kept the features in proportion and I'd do a better job with the shading.

Monster

My first painting using a tablet. This piece was just for experimenting with the tablet and trying out different grass brushing techniques. If I was to re-paint this piece, I believe I could make the monster hold it's form much better and make it look a lot more 3D.

Bug Guy

Here's my painting of the bug guy following a tutorial. I believe it's gone quite well and I am pleased with the result as it looks as if it holds it's form due to the shading I have used.

3D Pumpkin

A 3D pumpkin I created in 3DS Max experimenting with different light techniques to create dark and light areas on the outside of the pumpkin and a 'glowing inside' effect. I'm pleased with the outcome of this exercise as I think they have come out really well and they have that Halloween feel to them.
