Done! about 4 hrs worth of work and a few days in between trying to make sense of the madness. Tried a new style a la Andrew Jones and I think it worked for me. That along with a little Michaelangelo inspiration made for a pretty interesting piece I think. Not bad for learning it on my own. I'm excited to see what I can do next, as each one is getting better as I go. See below for a process of how it came along...

Another unfinished, but a step by step thus far. I will post the final soon.

Trying something new

4)Ok, 1 final revision now I'm done. Bicep was too big, colors were wrong on the arms and threw in some stars for more of a defining " were in space" thing...














3)Finally done. I think it turned out alright for my first try.





2)Turned the image 90 degrees and used an overlay layer to darken it up and create more of a mood. Now I'm kind of getting a cosmos feel for it. I'm thinking with whats already going on in the piece, a little imagery to introduce a divine figure and maybe a creation of life pic?







1)Trying a new style of painting. Mass confusion using different paper textures and patterns to create a mess of depth. Now I'm looking for something from within this picture to draw inspiration from and finish off the painting. I'll post the completed image soon!
