I really wanted to change up the colours here, to obviously keep the essence of Buffy but to shine a much different light. Also to have a sticker spray configured to cast a splash of blood, for dramatic effect!!
Happy Frog

The initial reference was just of a frog ornament which I thought looked interesting and had some character. It took me a while to figure out the colours, including exporting to gimp. It was only when I started to apply blend mode layers using the bucket tool that the piece all started to come together.

A paint over and update to one of my first pastel type paintings in ArtRage, it is always useful to attempt this to see if I am actually making any progress on my art journey. I can now see a lot that was wrong from my original effort.

Something very strange, I just was having fun and playing around with just about all the tools in ArtRage.

Sometimes I like to take a reference of an innocent children's toy and then tweak it to extraordinarily creepy levels.

A simple still life, and in the style of an old master, hence the dark backdrop. Surprisingly this didn't take too long, I held off applying the higher tones and the saturation for as long as I could so the luminosity of the orange tones could come through. This was just about the first still life I have done using ArtRage and actually surprisingly I enjoyed it, it was nice to have no pressure to achieve the likeness of a portrait.

A spliced painting taking my dragonfly painting as a background and then the lizard painting to adapt into a dragon, this gave me the opportunity to experiment with the ArtRage editing tools.

I found a cute picture of a teddy bear online reading a book and thought that it could look pretty cool if it had a bit of an edge, like if it was a little evil for example.

Lion

Initially I was just going to follow the reference of a lion faithfully while applying a little texture, but as it turned out I decided to give him a little bit of an edge by colour dodging a red highlight around the eyes and a little rim light.
Single Pear

A fun still life from a challenge suggested on the ArtRage forums to simply render a pear using just the oil brush, surprisingly I had quite a lot of fun with this one

A Sand Snake from Game Of Thrones, I really don't think I caught the likeness and it really isn't done in my own style. I think I ended up focussing too much on the airbrush to achieve a blended skin tone.

A simple reference copy, and I think the key to this painting was its simplicity as I seemed to hold better control over the oil brush and palette knife and to achieve the right background colour.
Supercop

I wanted to combine superman with robocop, so to start I painted based on a superman reference and then started to work out some dynamic lighting. I overlaid a few of my old paintings and even played around with a stencil to apply a texture to achieve the overall effect.
