One of the things I wanted to explore with my new computer was the world of physics based rendering. Thanks to Reality and lux and 8 cores of processing power I now can! I use Daz | Studio Pro (free for a limited time! Get it now!) for my 3D reference images. It is my…
After a solid week of work in the studio this is the result. It’s probably about halfway to completion now! (apologies for the terrible phone photo! It’s just easiest..) I am undecided about including the straps across the torso from the original render. They are cute, but I don’t want to take away from the…
“We’ve only just begun…” The placement for this figure was an enormous challenge as there are large steampunk wings coming in later. I have less than a month to finish this piece so it’s going to be a hard slog to get it all done to the quality I want! There are times I wish…
Well, that was a nice break! I’ve had a chance to relax and a chance to be sick as well. Yay. but now it’s time to get back to work. This year I want to try writing shorter posts and see how that goes. The plan is to actually publish more. We shall see! A…
Suspension Work in Progress Oils on Canvas Filigree and Lace and Cogs oh my. I’m keeping the lace lighter and airier than last time, a contrast from the steel filigree goggles and the heavy cog above it all. This was last weeks work, blocking in the background, glazing details and starting the massive cog undertaking.…
An uneasiness has been plaguing me for a few weeks since I pronounced this painting complete, an unpleasant nagging. It wasn’t until I took a few days away from it that I worked it out. So here it is revised. Same painting, but with some new improvements that just make it better overall.
The more I get absorbed in this complex steampunk series the more I wonder about my obsessive tendencies and artists in general. Recently, I’ve been having a hard time painting, something was gnawing at the back of my mind. Like a face I couldn’t put a name to it was elusive and irritating. Something was…
Flip – Daz Studio 4 Render I just can’t get enough of this pose style and set! I think I am going to have to do a triptych. Lately I have been obsessed with viewing a pose from lots of different angles. translating the same thing into different images and differing moods. I think this…
Flip – Daz Studio 4 Render I love this pose so much I just have to keep playing! It’s odd how something changes with the angle. At the moment I am doing some watercolors and exploring the same pose from different angles, it’s really fun to see how much mood can change. I will probably…
Gears 30×20 Oils on Canvas $1000 I’m not quite sure what I want to title this, it appears I will be doing more gears and cogs so Gears (the working title) may not be appropriate – other thoughts were Russet and Pedestal. what do you think? I really am loving the Steampunk Burlesque series, I’m…
