The musings of a fantasy illustrator. Artwork, art-talk, and randomness.
1. Chrysaline

Today's release over at Every Day Original is the third in a series that includes Decidua and Arctis. One piece remains in this little series, of course, and I'm planning on having that ready for June's release.

These are small paintings, probably a size I won't be working at much more for my Imaginative Realism pieces, but they've been fun. In each case, I've dived in without a lot of pre-work--even the drawing is done straight on the white board. A lot of decisions were made on the fly in all three of these. I went in with a concept and some model ref, and from there it's been very seat-of-the-pants.

A lot of my EDO pieces have this in common: there is a high amount of experimentation involved in what I do there. I try out concepts, do little one-off things, and so on.
