Work in progress, water color?! Waaahh?

That's right, oddly enough I'm actually working on a water color piece. I'm moderately happy with it so far. But I've no idea where it will go. 

So it begins.

No idea what to title this, so I just saved the file as "bag lady"

Day 1

5/8/2017

Back? Frustrated? You bet I am. Let's make that into something productive huh?

So, I'm not a blogger, I'm not really a "professional artist." I find I'm an avid video game enthusiast (if it's a multiplayer game at least) I went to school for art, but basically haven't done shit with it. So here it is, I'm going to paint one thing, SOMETHING every day. Till I get better, if for no other reason than for myself. So I'm working now on one. I'm going to push it to a point where I can show someone and not COMPLETELY cringe. So here is my adventure, you are welcome to join in, crits are mostly welcome, be constructive, I don't want "this looks great" nor do I want "this looks like shit.." I need to improve, and maybe with some damn self control and dedication I can do this. Enough self motivating, back to the grind.

Been forever and a day...and a half.

So I've been neglecting my blog, I made a "official" portfolio website at www.mylesgagne.carbonmade.com  I'm going to try to create a bit more art, I haven't pushed anything to finish in awhile except a piece I did for a card game expansion, I'll include that in a future post. But here's something I'm messing around with right now. Very Neon Genesis inspired.

I didn't mess round with its weapon yet. We'll see what happens with it.

Flower Girl Work In Progress

Just a more illustrative piece I'm working on, very mucha inspired.

Father Winter

A piece I made for a friends wall paper. I don't think he used it but it was still fun to paint. took about 25-30 minutes.

Genetic Defect

Had fun on this one. Found a basic brush I'm really liking. I don't like the legs, I may need to do a lower body study of human anatomy soon.

Harvester, one form of assimilation to another

So I came across an image online, and when I saw it tiny on my desktop I had to do a painting. The original image is from star trek. Check it out.

From this:

to this:

Creation Tale Illustration

"The beginning"

This is an illustration for my creation tale class. This is the mass of creatures that would form after darkness, the first god, began a reaction of fire. This mass would then detonate, and create the sun and all the other heavenly bodies within the solar system.

WIP Bounty hunter

I put this project down after awhile but Eventually I'll pick it up again. Just like all my OTHER pieces I've put down before. It's called simply "Bounty Hunter" A character dressed in western style clothing with a scifi twist to him.

Self Portrait skin tone practice

Bleh, this is based off of a distorted picture I took in photobooth. I was trying to work on some skin tones but it looks a little flat. Lacking alot of contrast. Just posting this because I thought it would be interesting and perhaps I could get a crit from a few people. Took about an hour and half ish?


So I got a little frustrated, and walked away from the piece for a bit. Then I got mad at myself and came back to rework it, this is the next stage of the piece.


Then a little bit of creative freedom.The title of the piece if I continue with the theme will be "The Birth of the First Dragon"

It's Still a WIP...perhaps I'll finish it for next Tuesday.
The first image and the last two images are about 2 hours apart.

Early Eve Miner WiP

Before there were mining lazes fitted to ships. Before strip miners even existed, there was a rugged few who walked the surfaces of asteroids and mined the precious ore manually.

To any new visitors, thank you for coming across my page. I've been working with this blog since last year about mid way through and this page has seen quite a bit of traffic. Thank you to all those who periodically come by and offer critiques or a glance at my work.

Keep in mind, a lot of these pieces on this page are works in progress, (basically meaning I'm not going to touch them again but I've pretty much moved on.) Some images are the process images, where others are studies. If you'd like to see a more elaborate portfolio, or are interested in a freelance job, be it logo design, concept art or illustration please contact me above. Thank you all once again, you keep stopping by and I'll keep drawing!

Character Grayscale

Worked on a grayscale study. No reference and now I wish I had. Need some work but I felt like posting it quick.

Fire Fighter

This piece is still a work in progress. A few things here and there I'd like to fix. I'll get to it eventually. As it stands I'm pretty content with it, I need to fix the gun he's holding in his hand among other things but I enjoyed working on this piece.

Robotron Painting

So, I'm a little rusty. I haven't touched any semi ambitious project since school. So I decided to tinker around with a piece I titled rather lamely "robotron" I felt a little nervous because I recorded this using a desktop recoding program to post on youtube. I'm hoping to make a video tutorial series for those newer to digital painting. I'll embed the video here once I get it uploaded properly.

Crits semi welcome, be gentle.

Red Samurai

I was watching samurai jack and was inspired. So I created this guy. I dig it, a little different stylistically than I normally do. Perhaps I'll explore it further.

Octoeye or "encounter"

So this is a piece I'm pretty proud of, I still need alot of work on it, but as of right now I'm going to leave it alone. I titled the piece Octoeye at first then changed it to encounter.

Pixel Forest

This is a piece I'm entering into the Applied Arts Student Awards, The title is "The Pixel Forest" there were some color comps up there before but I never posted the finish.

Glib WIP

W.I.P of the stalwart diminutive character Glib! here he calls upon a demon's energy to fight back a group of attacking imps. I've included Glib's character sheet as well.
