Spirit of Storms progress

Greetings everyone!

Here's some progress I've made on the Spirit of Storms.

Next step I'll be working on the wings, hair, a bit more on the tornado in his hands, and then lastly I can start working on the profile portraits on the side.

Thanks!
Until next time.

Spirit of Storms sketch

Greetings everyone!

I've got another concept challenge I'm taking part in now. This is now back into character design instead of the many creatures I've been painting. Here's some progress on what I've got so far.

I'll post more when I've get more progress on the painting.

Thanks for visiting! Until next time!

Greetings all!

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. To assist, I rediscovered the amazing website "conceptart.org" for their weekly events. I decided to jump on board for the creature of the week, which matched with my recent dabbling. Here's what I've come up with.

I hope you enjoy!

Until next time.

Beast sketch

Greetings everyone!

I was going through some things in my life and have just recently gotten back to painting. Here's an update on the paintings I was messing around with. Some are just sketches.

Here's a version of Capricorn I was working on. If I find time or focus, I'll try to come back to this one.

 This is a sketch of a giant insect-like monster rampaging a city.

 And here is just some odd creation to get my brain to start working. I wondered what a creature might have to survive if it didn't have any arms (in a creative way other than just a snake). This is what I came up with. I was also getting a feel for how to imitate wet skin. This is in a quick sketch paint of course.

Ok, well thanks for stopping by. Until next time!

Final of Beast Hunt

Greetings all!

I decided to make another video of my progress through stages of a painting. I tested out a screen capture program but it didn't work out so well. I'll do some more testing later. Anyway, here's the video, with the latest final painting at the bottom as well. Enjoy!

I hope the quality is ok. And here's the photo.

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time!

Jungle Hunt progress

Greetings everyone!

I've been quite busy lately. Things picked up at work and I haven't had much free time at home either. It's not finished yet, but here's a teaser of what's coming along.

Thanks for viewing my blog. Until next time!

The Hunt Begins

Greetings everyone!

I went on a short holiday to relax, so I wasn't able to paint this past weekend. Here is a painting I've started though. Another monster. This time in a more developed and thought out illustration with a motion component and another figure. Let the chase begin!

I'll be doing some color adjustment as more of the painting develops. (The color intensity is much higher from this blog preview than what is actually being shown in my photoshop. I'll investigate). There are also some added bonus figures that are in the planning but I haven't fleshed out yet. Stayed tuned for that little surprise ;)

Also, when I get this thing finished, I'll be posting another video showing hte progress of the painting via still images overlayed together. I tried a screenshot video but the program I tested didn't work properly how I wanted it, so I'll keep looking around.

Until next time!

The Things Nightmares Are Made Of

Greetings everyone.

Beware of the shadows on a dark night. Monsters may be lurking within them.

Thanks for checking out my blog. Stop by again later to check out any other monsters or characters that may be in the works.
Until next time.

Weekend sketching

Greetings everyone!

I was informed by my girlfriend to paint more monsters because they turn out quite interesting, so here's a monster I painted this past weekend. The creature is mostly done, with some minor adjustments needed. I still work some more on the background. I'll be going back and forth between this and another painting for a bit.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check in later to catch any updates. Until next time!

2015 First Post - New Hero

Greetings everyone!

Alexander here. For the New Year my parents stopped by to Singapore to hang out with me. It was great to relax a bit. It's been over 2 years since I had seen them.

After the holiday, I've gotten back into painting when I can. Here is a new hero I've been developing. The profile faces will be fully painted eventually, while I intend (at the moment) to leave the full body pose in a sketch phase. I will tinker with it more as the faces develop more.

Also, here's another picture I finished somewhere near the end of December. Another reboot of an old character.

Ok then. Until next time, thanks for stopping by!
