Fishing Lizard

Here's my updated version of the 'fishing newt'. I started from scratch following the tutorial and managed to come out with a much better result in my opinion. The brush techniques I learnt I used in my updated space marine painting as they do help with painting quickly due to how they allow you to build up the tone depending on how many strokes you do and how hard you press.

Space Marine - Updated

Here I have produced a new space marine painting rather than updating my previous one. I believe this one looks a lot more like a space marine as it has the heavy duty armour which gives it that tough feeling the space marines have. I think the piece is quite successful for a painting of less than 2 hours as I usually like to take my time to make sure tones are correct to make sure the panting holds it's form. 

Horror Rabbit - Updated

Here I have an updated version of my Horror Rabbit - I have used better blending on the toning on the shirt and I have also added a bit of shading to the teeth to make them seem less flat as well as adding lighting and shading to the eyes to make them seem more spherical than flat. I believe the updates I have done to the piece has made it look better.

Speed Paint Space Marine

A speed painting of a space marine - I'm not too pleasd with the outcome. I will create a new piece to replace this once as this looks more like a secret agent than a 'macho space marine'.

Lighting Exercise

45 minute lighting exercise to see how well we could create an image by firstly panting in the light and darks areas without colour picking. I'm pleased with the outcome of this piece as I believe I have captured the lighting quite well and you can see where the light is coming from.  

Fishing Newt

Here is my painting of the fishing newt which I am not too pleased with as I have not done a good enough job at blending the colours together to give a better 3D feel to the image and to make it hold it's form a lot better. I will go back over this piece to do these adjustments.
