Hello, I started to work on this image some time ago, but for many reasons I had to leave it without finishing. Now I've found some time to do it, and here's the result. He's a kind of ancient guardian of a collapsed civilization. Nowdays there are only ruins in the place, and an inmense desert...
I Hope you like it.

Hello, this is my latest illustration. I like to paint portraits of fictional characters emulating the way the classic masters used to do.
I did not use any photo reference. About a week of work time. Photoshop and painter used.

Hello. As usual, I've been absent of the forums a long time because of my work. But I've been painting this illustration which I want to share with you.
My purpose was combine two different techniques in this piece. The face is done the way I normally paint my illustrations, and the rest is done in what I'd call a "comic technique", I mean letting the drawing lines visibles. I'm not sure of the result, but I don't dislike it.

The hunting season has arrived and he's starting his long journey to the interior lands, where anything can't survive the rest of the year. Anything except the Reptaceus, the giant inhabitant of the desert. In order to hunt the Reptaceus, the hunter first has to get a Blukh, a very rare mollusk to use it as a bait. The male Bluhk, when alerted of the presence of a female specimen on his proximity, segregates a substance which odour allures the reptaceus like anything else, and that's the moment when the hunter tries to cacth him. He fails to do it 80% of the times, but when he succeeds, he can return to Anshkham, the city of the white domes, the governator's palaces, who is known for his excentric gastronomic tastes. There, the hunter can sell the reptaceus eyes, the only part of the beast that is not poisonous and is very appreciated for its exquisite flavour and texture. The governator's soldiers will pay generously for the eyes, so that they can offer them scalloped to their chief and obtain his favors. With the money he gets in the sale, he can live the rest of the year dedicating his time to what he really likes: to breed voltrons, the animals used primarily as individual transporters, but also in the dune races. The hunter owns some of the fastest voltrons of the city and he hopes to win the races after he cames back of the hunting journey.
This was my "the Journey begins" challenge entry. Thanks for your comments.]]> Mon, 18 Sep 2006 14:51:21 +0000 http://nigio.cgsociety.org/gallery/240330
