Working On My Digital Brush Mileage

Some more paint studies, I like keeping the brush strokes loose but have to think about refining the forms in the future.



Light and Color Study

Just a few quick paintings I felt like doing, both are more of a light and color study. I referenced a photo from Yosemite National Park for the first one and painted the second one from scratch. I may complete them at some point but most likely I'll move on to another painting. I'm digging the more dynamic lit environments so I think I'll do more of those in the future.

16th Century Cannon

Been taking some time off from other projects this week to make this 16th century cannon. It was originally built for a weekly challenge for one of the forums I visit, the theme was pirate props. Looking up references, I ran into one called the Tsar Cannon which is the largest of its caliber. It would be fun to make that one, I'll have to put it on my list of things to model.
