Spectrum 18

A couple of digital paintings I'm submitting for Spectrum 18. Both done in Photoshop CS4 with the good ol' A5 Wacom tablet.

Jane Doe in space

Another digital painting in PS CS3. You can see the initial sketch on the previous post. I keep forgetting to record the process, which is something I plan on rectifying asap. I love exploring and viewing processes in painting and illustration and I think it's always interesting to see how an image has unfolded.

IFX

Image for an IFX competition with the initial sketches too. I love the initial sketching process as it's so instinctive and instantaneous. The final rendered piece loses some of that energy and movement- it's very hard to retain that quality when you spend a prolonged amount of time on a piece. I think that it's a problem with painting too- the more time you invest in a piece, the more you have to lose and the less willing you are to take risks nearer the end. Tricky...
