Hello again

I always forget to save steps when I work. This time I decided to make this aditonal work to show You all how I work. ( work ,work, work ...hm ,yeah that is good word)

1. Step One : Concept

takes me about 50% of time spent on making picture ,maybe 30..
when I've got a good idea the work is very fast.
in this one I just sitting and painting randomly on some ground texture trying to figure out an interesting composition for my GIRL .then I found it is quite intresting background, quick idea " Lets say she is pasing away after slaughter, looking over her shoulder... " thats enough,lets make a scetch, we think about face expresion later.
Little push back this background for while to clear vision of body construction...



2.Step Two: Color composition
Fastest I can I try to catch this moment ,light and atmosphere. I really do not care about edges of scetch , thanks God we got digital painting and invention called "layers"




3.Step Three: Magic Hour

to be honset ... about 5 hours .but meantime I went to the cinema to see "STAR WARS EPIZODE III " maybe that is why it tokes me so long.. anyway

I hate this step in my work . I should call this "Killing hour" , I hate to kill my scatches with adding details and polishing ,polisging ... I always say to someone who wants me to put some more details in my work - "Im a Painter not a photographer ,dude " .
I dont like this "new " face of my girl ,but maybe the picture is still not lost. In scetch she was more happy of what she has done and more angry.now shes face is sad ... i followed this way , yes she is monster and she kills people easy and fast and always in great numbers but still ,after all she is just very young little girl , and maybe she doesn't like what she become .



4Step Four : Finishing

"Devil May Cry " ,



5. Step Five : Special effects

So maybe it isn't exactly what I plan to make but after all it is quite near my idea.
some magic tricks on the end to equilize colors and add some "dirt" and it is done.
thanks for You attention , next on my schedule is work for White Wolf so see You soon

There's nothing more inspiring than seeing a new piece of art emerge step by step, especially when it's so well done. Keep it up man!
