working with different processes for oil paintings.
this started with an acrylic wash. Then a charcoal drawing with smudged shadow areas. The drawing was brought up with gesso for the highlights and burnt sienna wash for the shadows. Followed by a block in of the shadows with burnt sienna oil paint, and naples yellow hue for the highlights. Then refine.

Ryumaru, you're getting great with traditional paints. Was there a reference to this pic? It seems you're getting the body anatomy down now. Now I'd like to see more of the body parts that show the most character in a person/thing from you, namely: the hands and face. Been awhile since I've seen your pixel stuff as well. Are you straying more towards the traditional arts now? Either way, loads better than I ever could have done it, especially with oil paints. Looks wonderful.
my back hurts...

uninspired today
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

I like that a lot of the art here is better than most of what you see on strictly pencil and ink and whatnot art forums.

That's pretty good. I remember visiting his site a few months back while looking for a composer for our latest game. Given what I remember it being and what it is now, I'd say that you did a good job of sneaking some color in there. I like the site's clean and simple design. You did a good job! :)

I liked your character with the helmet Adarias.  Nice pose and colors.

I need to get back to practicing people and costuming.  Been drawing too many monsters and spaceships.
