Still looking for work. Might have to just switch to completely learning zbrush. Thought I'd do a rare piece with a woman in it and see if it results in better print sales come GenCon. Probably not.
Nice work, Joe! I like this one for the same reason I like your fish and Woody's Cave Fisher: I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything like it anywhere else. You've also implied a lot about a backstory —or at least an odd symbiotic relationship that makes the scene intriguing. The warm vs. cool light situation is great too.
I think it would be fun to see an entire series based on mythologies or legends outside of Europe: Menehunes, gremlins, American folk tales, nautical lore, etc.
Very intriguing. Your value contrast and colour is great. I agree with Chuck. The first thing I noticed (once I was done saying, "gross." :P) was the relationship between the two figures. What's this from/for?
I really like the monster but the woman's chest seems a little stangely shaped to me. I do not know if you are looking for a critique, but something about the shading of them makes them look a little "added on" (and one is bigger than the other). That highlight is leaping out at me too and makes me focus there.
Since you are discussing prints for GenCon, I thought I would mention it. Her face and hand are so nicely done but my eye goes to her chest which is a little unflattering to her figure. I think altering the shading would be just the thing.
I'm getting a lot of negative feedback on the female anatomy so I'll defintely have to return to work on that.
This wasn't for a client. I had a thumbnail from a project 4 yrs ago that I decided would be the quickest to render of all my sketches. Originally it was a sketch for a pulp art style illo of a voodoo woman pouring blood on a statue and bringing it to life.

Made some revisions. Better?

I like it a lot better. Much more feminine...
ReplyDeleteI agree the chest anatomy is better on the revised.
