Zombie Vampie

Getting close to Halloween...drawing bad guys can be very fun. Mostly photoshop with a dash of Painter.

Bizzaro WIP

Here's a work in progress (WIP) of Bizzaro Superman. No idea why I wanted to paint him. I received some critiques and made some changes. I've added some low chroma color and a background. I will now always start with the background before going into the characters. Corel Painter X and Photochop CS3.

Alien revisited

Here's a revisit of an alien that I sketched some time ago. Still trying to work only in photoshop...I still love painter but I'm drawn to the stability of Photoshop. I'm never afraid to have10+ layers if I choose to...tho I rarely have more than 3.

Warrior

This is a painting I did in about 3 hours or so. Some experimentation especially on the palette. Started out multiplying a redish brown color over some quick values then I went down to "difference" and got that hot red under glow...so I kept it. I like how this sketch to painting came out. Started out in Photoshop but I did most of the work in Painter.

Brad Pitt study.

I found this photo shoot of Brad Pitt in high res with some nice shadows, wrinkles, and poses. In my continuing fight to become more adept with Photoshop here is a value study...there's a tad of Painter in here too. A few new brushes came out of it including a stubble hair brush, and a couple of "Dual Brushes" which I never even bothered with before.

Using Photoshop more than Painter...

Here's a dump of a few images that I painted with Photoshop. I am still working on the ins and outs of the program in order to render well with it. These are a few attempts. I am not saying that Painter is not as good as Photoshop, but I will say that there are things that I like to use in each program.

Lancelot

This is currently unfinished but close enough to post. No real references were used so I struggled a good bit on making the armor believable. Corel PainterX.
