11.06.08ObamaramaFigured I might as well join the hype and whip up a caricature of Obama while its still hot! I'm really glad he won, I think he will be a great leader. I made a custom brush for this piece and it worked really well. Also decided to leave most of the underlying pencil work, which I personally feel adds abit of character and depth to the piece, especially when all the rest is digital.

10.23.08Some new charactersHere are some new character designs I've been playing around with. I've decided to go for a slightly rougher, more low-fi style of linework with these instead of a clean vector style. In most cases I've left the underling construction lines visible beneath the final linework. I kinda like this way of working because its far more organic than all that pen-tool tweaking in illustrator.

09.01.08Jack Nicholson CaricatureHopefully evident, this is a caricature of Jackie boy. Probably one of the easier faces to caricature out in hollywoodworld. I'm trying to do more celebs these days since their universal recognisability (is that even a word) means anyone (not just my friends) can instantly tell if its a win or a fail. Also, i've started putting a watermark on my images. Not something I've been too particular about in the past but its getting to that point where I need to take my stuff more seriously.

08.12.08Second Digital Painting - studying valuesthis is a lot of fun and so full of educational goodness. Trying to effectively represent various materials is abit of a challenge. Like this one has denim (jacket) and wool (beanie). Paying attention to composition also helps to define your edges etc. Overall there is still a high level of noobiness but with practice i shd get alot better the victim is the effervescent Mahesh Jadu who is doing a damn good job of trying to appear poignant.

08.11.08First Digital PaintingAfter spending about 4 hours watching digital painting tutorials, I couldn't wait any longer and put this together. Since its my first proper digital painting I'm sure that in time looking back on this attempt will make me cringe (assuming I get better). Still, I'm still basking in the warm glow of a new accomplishment so imma post away. Reference image The reference is my mate Luc who happened to have a cool pic floating about that I took to. I focused on studying tonal values than trying to get a likeness.
