Applying a face to my original palette knife based saturated dragon. This used to create a birthday card for my mum.

Originally this portrait started out as a famous screaming scene from Game Of Thrones when the Mountain did what he does, but it was very difficult to get a good likeness, so I cheated and turned it into a horror face which meant I could get away with quite a lot.

A huge experiment with texture and ArtRage brushes, I have no idea what this is but I did have a lot of fun!

A weird slug like creature really focussing on the sticker spray and pushing colour dodge.

Here I took a reference of some foliage and then layered and moved the image around to form a dragon / creature emerging.

Based on a reference photo of a scary looking tree at my parents and then pushing with a moon environment, there was extensive use of the foliage sticker spray to layer up the tree bark.

A card I created for my dads birthday using just ArtRage.

A simple landscape based on a reference photo I took at my parents. Mainly pastel based as it seems to give me a better blend in ArtRage.

Similar to my Mr Robot portrait I wanted to emphasize texture on the skin and to apply some blood type scars.

I found a really good reference of a cloud and to have it sitting over a creature, I also found a raindrop sticker spray.

I wanted to create an original monster character with a very simple background and applying leaf textures, this is the main theme of a macaroni man.

Based on a reference from Istebrak's Portrait Studio which allows any light setup for a model. I liked the idea of lighting a face from below. I had an idea to abstract out the eyes for some reason, maybe as I couldn't quite get the eyes in the right place, so I cheated!!

A commission for my mum off the back of my Clanger art.

Based on an idea my mum had for a story and I decided to save some time by creating a new sticker spray brush based on a photo I took of a macaroni piece.

A commission for my mum's workplace for a health and safety presentation she did for her work colleagues.

A more complicated painting with a full torso protagonist with a landscape background, yes really out of my comfort zone here. With a smaller figure I really struggle sometimes with the detail as you have to be very precise. In the end it all came together quite well.

This was an experiment, I had little idea of what I was going to achieve except some kind of creature. About half way through I decided to export into a program which I massively stretched and distorted the image, this was my first foray into exporting to an external program to cover the functions that ArtRage doesn't have.

A commission which I did for one of my dad's friends and printed on canvas. The soft palette knife was used extensively to pull out a lot of the hair.
