wearing headphones makes you 5x more focused on whatever stuff you're doing.

awesome work, kill
looking good kill, though i'd like to see you finish roughing out those legs to the level of the first pass before proceeding. she looks to be packing a second piece between her legs right now, if you know what i mean. the way the weapon covers her midriff you're going to have a tough time making what's visible look right... but it's looking great so far, keep it up
quibism, !?! .. "i'm not worthy! i'm not worthy!"
ElysiumGX, yup headphones dude, it works. and thanks, i'll get to the legs soon.
daz, cool thanks.
jzero, yea, headphones are friends. what's with all the hate!? any questions on how i painted something i'll try my best to show you.
steady,
marine, i .. don't know the purpose of them ..
a friend was over and was making ink blots out by breaking pens on some printer paper, so i made one in photoshop out of some scribbles and it turned into those goggles, heh.
I didn't think they were gogles, I thought it was a gasmask. A backup.
Look great keep going.
and no one objects
i call it first for the skinage!
hell yea!
killing shaping very nice
watch her balance
thats one big cigar chopper she's carrying!
its weight falls on the left shoulder, and her left leg is in the air

very cool subject matter and design....
gauss, nice BS story about the goggles haha! and excellent observations. i love how you're always in that critical state of mind. that is a very useful characteristic as a concept artist. thanks for your comments, they are always something to consider. thanks for the help.

sett, she got my backhand. my palm is too soft for her rebellious spirit. haha! that is awful.
i was going for something non-objective, but putting strapps on their obviously caused problems. going is kept.
Thegodzero, your mom.
EarthQuake, cool, duly noted.
shotgun, if a finished model came from this, that would be teh WIN. hmm good to be thinking about the weight of the gun, thanks for the notice. i saw her walking down some type of rock steps and was in mid-step or something. i'll definately watch for it once i get back into it, thanks.
jeffro, palm, thanks guys.
johnwoo, it all depends how long. i honestly get so into it, i have no concept of time so i am guessing a good session lasts from around 4-6 hours and it all depends on how lucky my strokes are and excited i am about the content and subject of the painting. there is a lot of stumbling around on technique and concepts, it's like trying to read a book in a dream.
ThE_BirD, thanks man. as i am sure you know, being a more experienced artist, color is very difficult. the more i read up on it i feel more comfortable with it and try to apply people's idea on it. i was reading through mike lin's terms on his site and some of them were pretty cool. i've also been reading my old fundermentals of art book again, it really breaths fresh air into me after grasping a new or diluted concept.
but i think the best things to highlight when using color is , as mike lin states, "These color combinations are known as complimentary color or COLOR PAIR. When COLOR PAIR is used, the two colors excite each other, but when mixed, they create an earthy tone, which depicts how our eyes see in the environment and makes a drawing look more real." this is very profound in my eyes. i see all elements of art halved, like sky and earth. the earth as value and sky as color. what i am saying is there is a lot to color, because it is value and more. so like mike is saying: there are colors that compliment eachother, what i see is that there are values and colors that not only compliment one another, but will enhance one and shroud another. my approach is that searching a combination should not be systematic, rather it should reveal itself. i think that it is fair to say that the more an artist develops on these ideas he will better be able to predict and shoot for the results that are working in his mind, but he should allow the painting to speak to him. if when observing yourself painting you perceive an attractive conceptual observation (that is, something in the mind. something that isn't clearly presented) you should bring it out to help others see what you saw.
using this activation between paired and similar colors with composition theories, you can activly try and unify your forms while better defining your masses and textures, to create a more attractive and powerful expression of an idea or mood.
for unifying color in a piece i will try to distribute similar hues throught the painting, such as drawing an implied line for the eyes to follow.
i often burn an unfamiliar area by burrowing for it, but there are some of my current thoughts on the topic.
here is a giff that shows 2 hours worth of this type of painting.
when i get in the mood to fall into the trance and can't think of what to draw, i employ an automatic drawing digital painting process and once i find a subject i like i will play and embelish on it if i am still loose, i try to pull my self out of it, polish and make corrections.
