WIP for a friend

Doing a kind of make a wish type of project at the request of a friend.
Needs several more cavemen and will eventually be color.
I have a cold. Every caveman represents at least 3 kleenex full of snot.
Not to mention the occasional nose bleed.
I'll get the grayscale all done and onto the color.

I love these guys. Each one is a distinct personality. You are awesome, Ellis!

That's great Ellis! So they are giving your drawing to a child in need?

Thank Ronnie. Tom, it's more involved. Young man wanted to design a role playing type of gang. There's a bunch of characters. I'm just doing one.

I used the same dark color key for the color on the cavemen. I like having 'rules' for my values. I think it helps the painting. I need to do the light key some time.

I haven't read the greyscale blog you referenced Ellis, but both this painting and the last seem a little dark and low contrast overall for my taste. I'd like to feel that the light sources (the lightning bolt and the glowing orb) are affecting the scene more.

MrGoodson2 said...

Yes I agree Tom. Rules are made to be broken. Actually the lightning bolt and especially the blast lines (pure white) break the rules.

All of this stuff I'm freelancing, I 'll probably revisit and try to improve as a sample blog. So I may play with the levels on this piece a bit.
