Arya Stark of Winterfell

Just finished my latest digitally painted portrait.
Recently got into the show Game of Thrones, and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. Was looking for a new person to caricature or just do a portrait of, few ideas, then I got the idea of doing someone from Game of Thrones and I got really excited.

I chose Arya after watching an episode where she really stood out to me. The line on the final image stuck with me after the show was over. I love her character. I think she has a very interesting face as well, so didn't take me too long to finish this piece.
I tend to get distracted easily and put these off for weeks, this one was different. Finished the majority of it in about 2 nights.

The whole thing took about 9.5 hours, I used a photo as reference.
I think this is by far my favourite portrait I've done yet.
I'm considering doing a series of characters from the show. We'll see.

Here is my process through the whole thing, from initial sketch to final product.

Yet Another Self Portrait

Chrimbus time, Chrimbus time, ho ho ho ho ho! (right Yochie?)

Here's what I did this Christmas.

Will I ever get sick of drawing myself? Of course! But it's easier to use myself when trying out new things I've learned.
Inspiration from Annie Wu.
Discovered her today and was absolutely blown away!!

Later days.

Background and Character

Last assignment for digital painting. Had to create a background with a character inside it. I'll be honest and say that I had absolutely no idea what to do for the longest time, and just tried to put something together. I decided to go with a more stylistic approach to this one. It's different from what I'm used to, but in the end I don't hate what came out of it.
I have a lot to learn about backgrounds. They just aren't one of my favourite things to do.

Dallas Whittaker

This is my final model pack for my character for character design class.
I'm happy with some parts, not with others. Character design is not one of my strongest areas, but I'm proud of myself for finishing.
Still have SOOO much to learn. It was fun, but I wish I didn't leave it all 'til the last minute. Would have saved me a lot of grief.
Now onto the maquette! Which will be the pose of her in the red dress.

Colour Background

This is for a colour background assignment we had to do.
Basically create a conceptual layout. I like how this turned out. I love the waterfall and I love that it falls into nothingness. Kind of an 'end of the world if the world were flat' type deal.
I could have spent a lot more time on the buildings and what not, but as you can probably tell, most of my time went into the water.
In the end, I think I like this one.

Unfinished Delorean

This is my unfinished Delorean.
I had such high hopes for this assignment, but it was a really busy couple of weeks with a lot of big projects due and it got left behind.
I really want to revisit this in the summer, change the perspective to a more appealing angle and render it nicely.
I like the vents on the back. That's about it.

Sloths Are Cute

This is my flying sloth for our monster assignment.
I had some help from a classmate coming up with the idea for a flying sloth with tusks. I decided I wanted it to be equally as cute as actual sloths are.
I focused on the face at first and worked in almost all the detail before I moved on to the body.
The talons gave me a bit of trouble and I'm not entirely happy with them, but they'll do.
The wings were probably the hardest part. They weren't long enough and way to close to the edge of the painting, so I adjusted the canvas size and stretched them out. I think it helped a lot.
I took the fur painting skills I learned last semester on my creature assignment and used them again here. Saved a lot of time, already having tackled a furry creature in the past.
I'm very happy with how this one came out.
