And here she is making one of her creations! Yes, 2 pairs of glasses. She will work in the evening, and I will draw her. I was trying to use PS on an Ipad. I'd rather do something like this with paper and pencil. Also tried to deadpan it a little. Less (*&() slick techniques

Rasputin from Kingsman(?) movie. The revolutionary period in Russia was better than any fiction.

Jennifer prancing about in one of her creations. Shes a dressmaker, and a good one!

Edit: twitter cant handle previewing a vertical image without the guillotine?

More fun storyboarding. Would love to do it someday.

Why gangsters dress so nice? Isn't that a dead giveaway? If I were a policeman, I would never pull over someone with a tailight out. But all those bastards with TWO working, that's where the promotion is.

Stream of consciousness is what makes this fun. Why I love KJG was the way he worked, efficient, internalized. I usually work letting the paint talk back to me, to tell me what it needs. But this way is more direct somehow. Also the very simple tools. Requires some experience.

Stream of consciousness sketch. I was trained as an Industrial Designer. The technique taught was NO line work was to be used. Only value. I took this to heart for way too long. I am enjoying mixing line back into things.

No idea. non at all.

Fun exercise we did at Underpaint academy. Look in bottom right, ref is intentionally made tiny to prevent reference lock. You gotta make up the rest

Detail of paint, about 75% resolution.

View from outside, before the more interesting door design. Bad/good guys blew the door in the story. Yes, guards were techie Samurai. One of my pet peeves is those yellow/black warning stripes. just say no, but it is a part of this aesthetic.

design for a prison cell, for a project that went nowhere. Again, 80's tech vibe. This was all eventually modeled for green screen, and I got to art direct! My one moment in the sun.

Annunciation. Looking at James Ward image at the Tate. God I love that ptg.

Class at underpaint academy starts Sunday!

Worked on it some more in Rebelle. Is it improved? I have not had much luck in guessing what people on Twitter like. Ill guess people like the sketch more.

Cannot say enough about the intuitive genius of J Johnstons designs. Yes, that is a lens flare. Prepare the boiling oil.

Client wanted 80 scifi, Akira, Syd Mead etc. I thought to really try to emulate Syds drawing style, which i love as much as his painting. Pen on .. real paper//:)

This started from the sketch below a few posts down. The block in was done live on Schoolism. If you have an interest in these kinds of things, I will be doing an 8 week class in basics at Underpaint Academy beginning in early December.
