This is a revised version of the portrait I did taking into account the advice some of the members here have given to me.

This is a finished study portrait done in Corel Painter. Spent about 2 and half working days on this.
Getting the colours right was a challenge and a half for me but fun.
I used a reference photo from Chonastock on Deviant Art.

Quite a quick portrait study of a picture of Sharon Stone in Painter IX.5. More information on the development of this study is available in my journal.
Corel Painter IX.5: 2008.

This is another study I did in Corel Painter using my customized brushes and making use of paper textures in an attempt to get a more natural look.]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:59:15 +0000 http://mossyoak.cgsociety.org/gallery/687284

I have been doing a lot of practice in Corel Painter developing my painting technique and making brushes to suit my needs and natural style more.
My custom brushes I developed whilst doing these are available for download in my web journal at http://fuzzymushroom.com/journal/resources/my-custom-brushes/.
Please tell me what you think. Thanks for looking.]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:56:28 +0000 http://mossyoak.cgsociety.org/gallery/647945

Based on an Illustration Friday topic "Hoard" and also a certain amount of influence from Smaug in the Hobbit.
I've been practicing a lot in Painter at making new brushes and using more texture in my pictures.
I'm still trying to paint a "scary" dragon, but I think he looks quite cute still.

Thanks for looking.

I'm trying a different style in Painter, more of a line work method in this case. I still enjoy drawing more than I do painting even though I have focused on the painting side of things for my "finished" works in Painter.
This developed from a little sketch in my sketchbook. I'm trying to think of more ideas for another illustration in this style now.
Please let me know what you guys think, I'd love some feedback on this.]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:52:33 +0000 http://mossyoak.cgsociety.org/gallery/625709

I'm trying to vary my portfolio a bit more lately. This is an illustration for a poem.
I'm working on doing some other subjects rather than fairys later otherwise I think I'm going to go mad.

This is another variation of my "Jane the Elf" character, this time she is standing on top of a fairy mound.
I worked on this on and off over a few weeks in Corel Painter working from a pencil sketch.

Thanks.]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:57:09 +0000 http://mossyoak.cgsociety.org/gallery/591844

Jane is sort of my "alter ego" character. She's been in my head since I was about 7 years old and I thought it was time to get her out again.

I've been re-inventing her for quite a while now and want to write and illustrate a story about her.

Also I've been trying out different poses and things lately for my figure work as I noticed a lot of things I paint are a bit static, so this was quite fun to do.

Critiques/comments are welcome and appreciated by the way

Happy new year everyone!
Here is my first painting of 2008.
She's a spring fairy that is just stretching her wings after the long winter.
Thanks for looking guys.]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 13:56:09 +0000 http://mossyoak.cgsociety.org/gallery/546433

It is said that Chalchiuhtlicue, the Aztec Water Goddess was furious with humans for their wicked ways.
She swirled the seas into a fury and commanded the rain to pour down and flood the land. All life was destroyed, except for a few animals and humans which she transformed into fish.

I did this using Corel Painter and my Wacom Tablet. It took me about 30 to 40 hours, and I even did composition sketches first for this one. I was a bit stuck for ideas, so I went with Aztec Mythology for a change.
Any comments are always welcome and appreciated I would like to know what you think about this one if you have time, and thanks for looking

A mermaid swims to the surface.

I went for a more illustrative style with this one I hope.
This will probably be my Christmas card this year, unless I have time to do something more festive. Have a nice Christmas
