Orc rerun

An orc doodle retaking a drawing I did six years ago... You can check the difference with the one below ;)

Cannon

Just a quick concept in Photoshop...

Walking Dwarf

I was just trying some new techniques based on changing my mind in many things: level of detail (eliminate, eliminate), contrasts (cool-warm, round-straight, soft edged-hard edged)...

Made with Photoshop.

Just a quick doodle with Photoshop...

Mago - Wizard

Intentando nuevas técnicas de dibujo, a base de hacer la imagen inicial en gama de grises, y coloreando encima después (como se hacía con las fotos antes de que se inventara el revelado en color).
Unas tres horas, en Photoshop, sin referencia.

Trying new drawing techniques, based in creating the initial picture in grayscale, and applying color over it (as it was done with b/w photos before color was invented).
About three hours of work, in Photoshop, no reference used (and no wizards injured).

Searching the lost patrol

Me ha llevado algo de tiempo hacer esta imagen (clickear para verla en grande), básicamente porque sólo he podido dedicar horas (o medias horas) sueltas.
Mi idea era mostrar a un sargento de un pelotón antes de entrar en un bosque o algo parecido, cuando descubre algo extraño (o comienza una emboscada, o algo así...).

El boceto inicial está hecho en lápiz, escaneado y pasado a MyPaint (que me ENCANTA). A partir de ahí fue desarrollado, pasado a Photoshop para el fondo, devuelto a Mypaint para más fondos y texturas...y ¡aquí está! El resultado final.

Espero que os guste tanto como a mí me ha gustado hacerlo. Próximamente subiré los pinceles creados para Gimp y Photoshop en el proceso, así como una guía de la evolución de la imagen.



A digital painting (click to watch it larger) that has taken some time, mostly because I could only dedicate spare hours (or half hours). My idea was to show the sergeant of a patrol before entering a wood, a forest or similar, when he notices something strange (or an ambush starts...whatever).


I drew the first idea in pencil and scanned it to MyPaint (I LOVE MyPaint). There the soldier was developed, passed to Photoshop for the background, back to MyPaint for more background, and...voilá! Here's the final result.


I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while creating it. In the next days I will poste some Photoshop and Gimp brushes I created in the process, as well as a step by step guide...

¿Elfo?+Orco

Un divertimento rápido en mi cuaderno de apuntes...

Lápiz sobre papel A5

Guerrero enano - dwarf warrior

Una acuarela sobre un dibujo rápido hecho tirado en el sofá. Obviamente, no he usado referencias.

A watercolour over a quick sketch made while resting in the sofa. Obviously, no reference was used.

Acuarela sobre papel - A5

Welcome!

I start a new blog, dedicated to my digital works. In my old blog I used to mix both fine arts and digital works, and since I usually paint flowers, kids, home scenes, etc... it caused a weird effect to find suddenly an orc appearing from nowhere.

Thus, here is my first piece finished today, just to check my anatomy knowledge status. I wanted to convey a sense of movement, with the pelvis turned to one side, while the torso and head were rotated to the other.

No refs used, hence the anatomic drawing flaws ;-)
