Okay so things are coming along.

I've found some time to do more personal stuff. REALLY trying to bust into my painting.

I've really struggled painting faces, so that's the first thing I'm tackling atm. I found some nice stock art of a beautiful elf. I'm gonna do this and make it fun :)

It's ALIVE!!

The beast... SHE IS COMPLETED!

Chuffed. Never give up, chin up, never surrender, aim for the sky, or in this case... PAINT THE DAMN THING!! :D

17 WIPs and a painting later!

Yeah I worked hard on this.

I'm really surprised with the result, it came out as utopian as I imagined it.

Whip in Progress

Today I refined the buildings more and setup some waterfalls coming out of the base of the 'island'

I added some more clouds but I'm not sure.

My work has a long way to go, but I can't expect to be amazing overnight now can I! :P

I decided (obviously) to make the large island the centre of attention. I've also been working hard getting the buildings to look right (struggling tons).

I've started dropping colour and adding a few layers of clouds as guides for later.

Break Through

I do believe I made a break through today. I added more textures via brushes and then did direct painting over it to pick out the details.

I'm a little worried about my composition right now.

Crack 3

Not much to say, still rendering out. Gonna jump in with rock detail next, or maybe start fleshing out the buildings more?
