VROOOOOOOOOOM! Can't stop to chat too long! Paint! paint! Paint!
Hewey-thanks again mate! Expect the unexpected when you least expect it!
Raver! GROG! Sneaks!Ben! Tama! Benz!Sam! etc. etc.
Thanks kiddies!Glad i could excite ya ! Now go create!
yeah! I like to think of each area as a little painting..like in a building-each area has it's occupants and stories....Keeps me interested....and i can always do smaller pieces of the detail characters! Composition-don't think too much about it to worry...hence the awkward clumsy flow of some of these! (which isn't bad if the theme demands it!)
Babalu! It's coffee and not much sleep or social activities.....
And to answer Benzart's inquiry...it's inspiration from reading and books..i'll read about a certain tribe or artifact and start delving around and learning little bits about em (not that i'll use all or even a little bit of that info-it gives me a starting reference!) Or i may just open a book, o go thru my reference files and BAM! Something talks to you! So you gotta draw it and give it a story,a life only you can give it! Also, the more ya draw and paint-the more a visual vocabulary is shaped...stuff you can mix and match later...
and yes Jen....i had to put a Tangata Manu in there! How else would they of gotten here?
Okay! enough chit-chatting! Here's 2 i did in the past 2 evenings....i like em both ,but i think this first one is makin my face pucker!

i like how all the skulls are smiling! It makes for a "HUH?" moment!
and here's the second guy....wearing a coronation helmet of sorts!

back to the Big piece! Alohaw!
