Heres an updated pic of the painting

Still have to go in and soften some stuff up and add details.. but yeah! roughly done.

New projects!

Hi ya,

Whelp holidays are over.. Now it's time to kick it in high gear. I want to do at lest one painting a week, depending on detail of course. I have a few ideas for paintings that may take a few weeks but I want to at least produce something every week.

I have a few projects in the works right now. One is a painting of a girl with black paint poured on her head.. It's in honor of one of my favorite artist Aaron Nagel. I'll post a teaser pick but I have much work to go so the final pic will be posted in a day or so.

Also I'm starting a project for an amazing artist james walker ( http://www.organicdebris.com/ ) James has asked me to paint his dog for him. James uses his dogs and other animals in all of his works. Truly an honor to even be asked a question by him let alone to paint his dog. Really stoked about this and hope it turns out great!

Anyways cheers! Hope everyone had a good holiday.

Here's the pic of the painting in the works

Wolves

I found a picture of wolves fighting over food.. I've never attempted to paint dogs/ wolves so i thought a really crazy up close painting would be a good start. I had a really short dead line for this painting so it was a tad rushed but i think i work best under these kinds of conditions.. My attention only last so long on a painting. 

Sketched out some guide lines

thinned out some Acrylic for my under paint. I used acrylic for my under paint because i wanted to have a good idea of my tones but didn't have enough tim to wait for oils to dry. 

Built up enough to have an understanding of my tones and coloring.. time to move on to oils =D

First i started off with my darkest tones, mixed a nice dark blue with a dark brown for my black.

Moved on to my brown tones.

Now to my highlights with whites and yellow tones.. did a little blending on the fur. 

After about a day of working here is what i've come to. This painting was done for my brother and his lady for Christmas (yeap... I did this on christmas eve..) The canvas is currently saturated with paint so going in and doing fine lines and really detailed work will have to wait till the canvas dries up a bit. 

Hopefully someone checks this blog and enjoys what they see! Next painting i'll try to do better step by steps.. I'm still fairly new to the painting world.. So hopefully my small little tricks can help out a newbie like myself 

P.S my glasses are bad ass... I don't care if you call me Harry potter =P

Hello there!

Freddie

I was asked by my brothers singer to paint freddie Mercury for him.

Turning my brother into a zipper headed zombie!

So my brother hits me up and ask me to make him a mask... I guess he assumes i can do whatever he thinks up..
So i tried it...

-Paper towels

-liquid laytex

-cheap makeup

-eight hours... =|

Once zakk took this off.. We realized it held up pretty well.. So i made a full face mask out of it!
