Steampunk Marketplace



My apologies for all the emails I haven't replied to for the past weeks. I was assigned to new feature project just right before Christmas and been extremely busy since then. Please bear with me as I give my best to get through my email backlog :) The two images above were part of my "The Power of Thumbnails" presentation at CTN last November. Though these were unused concept artworks, I have to blur out the main character for copyright purposes. Below is the step by step process from lines to color. Half way, I decided to push the piece and expand the artwork to show more establishing of the location.


I'll be doing a one-day talk with demo titled "The Power of Values - The Essential Bridge to Lines and Color" at the Los Angeles Academy Of Figurative Art this spring. I'll discuss how tonal value carries the weight of the composition and also how to keep the values when doing color in Photoshop. More info on this blog as soon as the date is set.
