I have noticed as of late that for every finished piece of art, I probably have 4 more that I've started and haven't touched in weeks, months, or sometimes even years. With this attempt to keep a weekly blog of my art-making, I thought perhaps these unfinished works could be a good source to delve into. I have attempted on multiple occasions to take part in the wonderful weekly contests that take place at
Conceptart.org but unfortunately with the dealings of a daily job that sucks my life away I'm rarely able to complete these works. So I've decided this week (with the friendly coercion of a fellow artist) that I would go back to one of my more finished pieces and work on it again. So here's my WIP from conceptart.org's CHOW (character of the week) contest a few months ago titled Amazon Warrior Queen.
Also I thought it would be nice to show my finished piece from last week's Blog. So here's the finished Thuvia of Mars piece as well.
Keep blogging, dear! I enjoy the first draft of the 'Mars' painting than the final. I'm more attracted to the muted colors and overall mood. I also think there is too much attention drawn to the turquoise pillow.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I commend you for painting, and so skillfully. I make too many mistakes to do it myself, and the concept of color continues to elude me. :) Have you ever considered painting a jester-woman?
