So I came back and painted these flower pots in my garden.

Kudos to those who overcome the awkardness and manage to paint from any location!

I'm really excited to show some snippets of my work for a unique collaborative D&D illustrated book.

The campaign will go live very soon:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/ska...

I'm illustrating one of 4 chapters of the book, I can't wait to show you the full illustration!
cropped version of a glowing mushroom cave illustration, with mushroom stone stem pillars and different kinds of fugus. 4 early sketches of the illustration, which gave the overall color scheme and mood.

This month I'd like to work exclusively in traditional medium from location.
Here is a view from the cathedral of Tours, I finished it at home after freezing in the shade for too long.

gouache painting of the back of a cathedral, the blue sky is contrasting with the tall volumes of the monument. Some part are sunlight and other in the shade which create a balanced composition.

Hi Eli, mostly a mix between the classic one and anisotropic one. The effects depend on the render size so you may have to adjust the values depending on the output size.
I have two setups ready (one clean, one painterly) and I can adjust quickly using a mix node

An old project using loose black and white painted textures and projection mapping for creating 3D assets.

The kuwahara node and paintover combo works well with photorealistic models too.
Here is a scene that took about 1 hour to create, using previously made assets, a well established startup file, 2-3 rendered images to mask effects. Then paintover to correct the details and add final color tweaks.

Playing with some handmade lowpoly assets.
Experimenting with the kuwahara node in the compositor. I'm really enjoying this workflow.

And today I decided to recreate it in 3D!

I used Blender, and Ucupaint addon to enable layers for the texture painting. I took some time to create custom brushes to replicate the style of the concept.

I love that bird!

The sketch from yesterday and this one are based on a DND campain we started last year with friends. I'm still warmed up from heavyjan so I plan and hope to continue this series during february.

I started with color sketches based on works from Ivan Aivazovsky and Théodore Gudin.

I started this sketch with two color studies from the russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky (top). Then I made two compositions inspired by the colors before refining the concept.

I'm really happy with the outcome of this challenge, especially because I managed to use personal reference throughout the whole month.
