I don't often do a full body piece as I prefer to focus on the face so I get a bit caught up in not putting enough detail into the face itself.

I had lots of fun with this one, I initially tried a spherical stencil in ArtRage to get the basic shading and then went from there.

The first of the Sanderson sisters that I attempted, the final version here is a little different than my original idea when it came to typing all three of the sisters together, originally I had also cropped out the lower part of the chin (as an accident) and it seemed to work well, but eventually relented.

All three of them!, I tweaked Winnifred a little and blended her hair with the other two using the palette knife in ArtRage.

This was actually the second Sanderson sister I completed but set the tone for all three of them.

The third Sanderson sister that I attempted, struggled a little, I think mainly due to the flat lighting on the the reference so had to add my own in for interest.

A suggestion from my girlfriend to create a poster featuring our cat Binx and the aforementioned girlfriend.

This was a portrait I completed for my mum's 70th

Much experimentation using the Krtia rgba brushes, one of these paintings where I literally had no idea what I was going to do and was more of trying to get an ArtRage impasto effect by using ArtRage.

A portrait in profile!, the important part of this piece was the cropping, I worked originally for quite some time on the hair but it didn't really work.

Completed pretty much entirely on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, with just a little tidy up using ArtRage.

I wanted a bunny with a bit of an edge, I modified the reference a little to add hair on the head and a slightly scary eye.

Done mainly for my girlfriends parents and was quite close to the reference, as I guess it had to be to maintain the likeness.

I'm not really sure why I don't indulge in more still lifes.

Ah yes, my perennial Alien art!, after watching the film Alien for the umpteenth time I saw an image right at the end of the film which I liked a lot, so I snapped it with my camera with a resolution to artify it!

Extreme experiments in ArtRage textures. You will notice some bubbling effects which was an overlay from my camera from fat globules rising to the surface of a hot watered roasting pan I often use this text as it add much interest. The effect was either a marbly man or a rock of a man emerging from water. The detail was brought in by copious use of the palette knife.

After watching the Killing I was inspired to render my favourite actor, that of Joel Kinnamen. I had the idea of warping and blurring to perspective the gun to add a 3d effect.

Yes thats right!, pretty much my first portrait, mainly due to the dearth of my facial pictures. As you can probably guess I was lying down for this one, but uprighted for the portrait itseld, I think in the end I was quite pleased bow it turned out, the key was the mid tones, which I am working on as I tend to focus on the darks and lights too much and get carried away.

After watching the Queens Gambit, I was inspired, just a straighforward head on shot, which is quite unusual for me and really tried to push the colours and highlights.

A bit of a montage of art which every now and then I do, taking the art of Rey, Daenerys, Yoda and Darth and merging them all into an interesting coherent whole.

Based on an idea for my sister, a vampire diaries mash up showing the morphing of a ripper enraged Stefan to his boring normal ego. This one I found very tricky, it took quite some time to get the balance right and of course would have taken quite a while anyway due to the fact it is two portraits. Again I was having problems with the mid tones and getting the image generally to be bright enough and not look too flat, hence the palette cloudy blending.

A suggestion of an idea from my mum who at the time was writing a story about a Macaroni man with a story lodged in each pasta recepticle. I had already rendered such a monster but thought that I could not do a little better. This is one of the few pieces that I specifically created a sticker brush for to easily define the macaroni pieces.

I really should do more landscapes they are fun and actually fairly easy compared to a portrait, much more range for error. The key is to focus on the planes with the ones further away being lighter and having less detail, ArtRage is ideal for this type of texture rendering. It did take me a while though to figure out where to put the source of the sunlight and trying to get the beams of light to sit well.

A landscape with a twist, originally create off a Maddy livestream I thought the beach was just too boring so spiced it up with a sea monster and added in some story with a boat reaching out. Again this was texture heavy and landscapes are very much enjoyable.
