Bromide


Hi! This week's concept is a Bromide. Here's a bit of the description: "This is a humanoid 'civilized' race.. They come in various 'weights', but tend to be tall, thin and agile. While not a very aggressive society, they have developed weapons and a intricate form of martial arms that utilizes their natural weapons. The Bromide race should be a plant based, or plant influenced race."

Well, a lot went on this. I imagined his past story and created the basic shapes as follows: The spiritual fire on top of their heads begins short after birth. At first pale orange, it grows redder as the Bromide grows. As adults, they don't show any signs of old age, except for the fire becoming paler and finally extinguishing itself on death. They age much slower than humans and they lifespan exceeds our on many decades. The natural weapon they posses are the powerful tendrils coming from the back of their arms (sharing the triceps tendon) and they use it to many tasks, including battle, and grabbing, much like spider monkey's prehensile tail. I had a great time doing this one. Hope you enjoy!

Construct



Hi! This time the concept is of a creature which is called a "Construct". Constructs resemble more wild animals than humanoids, but are made of pieces of gear, iron, blades, armour and also bits of stone and crystal. On this I tried more for the overall feeling of the machinery and scale. Constructs are also Golems, that according to Jewish folklore, are artificial mythical beings, brought to life through magic. According to the stories, having a Golem as a servant was considered as the most elevated symbol of wisdom and sanctity. The tiny figure near the creature was added for a better sense of scale. Speed painting 2H.

Speed Painting


Hi friends!! Sorry for being away for so long. I`m involved with a couple of projects for games that are taking all my blood! Short of time and will be posting the new paintings soon. Meanwhile I`m beginning to experiment with speed painting. Just for fun!!! This one took me a couple of hours (perhaps a bit more), and was really a joy. Hope you like it!! Will be posting more often from now on (at least I hope..)...

Head Study


Hi there! This is a digital painting I did based on an old oil study (see blog banner). I tried to finish it within 1 hour at the most so I could concentrate on design and brushstroke shapes without getting too much into detail and not polishing too much. All the best!

I decided to try painting the previous drawing as an exercise. It took me a couple of hours and here`s the result. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed doing it!

Ship



This is just a study of silhouettes to find some interesting shapes and ideas without having anything specific in mind.
