Speed Paint: Mad Doctor

Another speed pain for the Sketch of the Day in CGTalk forums, this one was called "Mad Doctor", this one took a little bit more than the other but was a really cool topic and very entertained to do. The time of the challenge was 55 mins, took me more so I have 2 pictures again. Post your comments at the end of the post =D.

Speed Paint: Red Bishop

So I am really into this challenges on CGtalk, I find them really inspiring, or at least those which I think have a cool topic. So, yea, I could let this new challenge named "Red Bishop" pass, I know it seems like I like birds, in fact I do, but this new topic was pure coincidence, I swear.

Even though I made the other one yesterday, I think I have improved a bit...not much, I am still a noob when talking about speed painting, but I am definitely getting better and faster. The time of the challenge was 65mn so I have 2 pics, one inside the timing and a final one; hope you guys like it:

Speed Paint: Penguin

Even though I have been busy, I managed to get a few minutes to do a speed paint for one of the -CGtalk Daily Sketch Challenges, called "Snow". I will try to do this challenges from time to time too, since they help me get faster when doing illustrations.

This is my first speed paint ever and also my first illustration entirely done in Photoshop, since I usually do a pencil sketch on paper first. Hope you like it.

Hello guys.

I have been a bit busy this days with work and family stuff so I didn't have enough time to finish the dragon, although I am working on it, slow but steady whenever I have a few minutes. I hope I can get it finished soon.

For now I would like you to visit one of the websites I am working on right now. It is not up yet but you can get to a temporary site to know a little bit more of what it is all about ( in case you are curious)

It is a website for Bruceecuador, an organization that help poor kids that live in the streets of Quito, and prepares them for the future.

I may also get into a project to make an Animation for a TV program, so probably I will have even less time, but I will use any free time left to work on the dragon and other future projects.
I will keep you informed on this animation project too, it will be simple but hopefully very cool.

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (4)

Today I worked a little bit more on the dragon. I painted the Antlers and the right paw.

Here are the screen shots:

I will try to go all out on the rest, If I manage to get enough free time. I will post it as soon as Its done.

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (3)

Today I worked a little bit more on the face and I added the mane ( I think that's how the hair is called); it still need some shadows but I will wait till I get the antlers and maybe even the body so i can get a better view on how the shadows have to go.

Ilustration: Chimera Dragon (2)

I finally started with the Dragon, even though I know its better to go all the way and do the entire illustration with the basic colors, then the tones and background and finally the details, I decided to go a different way and do the face first, its more like an experiment to see if I can work with those steps but in parts; hopefully I will not have to fix much at the end. By the way, this is my first "Digital" Illustration, so expect lots of errors, at least till I get used to the Wacom for drawing.

Well, here is what I have so far:

I still have a lot to do and I will update my progress as soon as I can. Don't forget to post your comments.
