Quick Sketch [23 Mar 2009|10:00pm] andreags Haven't posted here in a while, so here's a quick sketch of Rajheem. He's a little pouty, a little downtrodden, but he's got potential! post comment

Progress... [19 Jul 2008|05:03pm] andreags [ mood | creative ] More Antuk, in progress! 1 comment|post comment

Atlas [13 Jun 2008|08:55am] andreags [ mood | accomplished ] Sometimes I think moths are prettier than butterflies. So...moth fairy! I based her wings off the Atlas Moth. I really should have scanned her before I varnished her. She looks much smoother, and the colors are richer/deeper in real life. Whoops, lesson learned. The scanner is shining off the varnish in a few places. I had a lot of fun with the details on this one. Tattoos, cloth pattern, coin headdress! I listened to Golden Compass while painting it. She's up for sale on ebay, starting bid $10, HERE post comment

Character Sketch [29 Jan 2008|09:30pm] andreags [ mood | creative ] Just a quick character sketch I've been working on in spare minutes. This is Antuk, a moonchild wanderer from my novel. I think in some ways, of all my characters, she is most like me. Except I'm a little more nice - so she's like me without the internal censor. =) I've got a little acrylic painting of a fierce moth fairy I'm working on too. I'll try to post a pic of it tomorrow. She's standard ebay fare - I love her, and she's got some really eye-catching colors, but she won't do much to further my career. I'm going to bang out a few more paintings, maybe some more guys, and submit my portfolio to Baen. I need to pick up some cover work before my book gets picked up. 3 comments|post comment

A little surprise... [11 Dec 2007|06:47pm] andreags [ mood | accomplished ] A little surprise for my favorite kid. 9 comments|post comment

One bit at a time... [10 Oct 2007|08:09pm] andreags [ mood | melancholy ] Don't feel much like painting (or writing, for that matter) since Amazu passed away. I'm used to him sitting in my lap while I work. Here's what the cover looks like so far. Hopefully I can get back to it soon. I know it'll be easier once I put pen to tablet, but I haven't been able to get to that point yet. I finished a little oil painting, "Illuminate", as well and posted it to ebay. It sold for the buy it now within five minutes of my posting it. Maybe I should charge more. 6 comments|post comment

Brushing off the dust... [29 Aug 2007|09:57pm] andreags [ mood | creative ] Oh lionfishfancies! How neglected thou hast been! Since I've finished my novel, I've been seriously thinking about painting some kickass covers. Helen is potential cover #1. This is a sketch for potential cover #2...which also has Helen in it. I can't help that her red hair is such an eye-catcher! I think I may do one with Nehara and Anestan next, taking some "creative liberties" with the story. Or maybe Farahd and Anestan. He could be all noble and she could be all sneaky-looking. Here's the rough sketch. I'm going to try and do some refining later. I'm very busy this September, and while I'll have time to write, I don't know how much time I'll have to sit my butt in front of this computer (laptop's screen isn't very good with colors + doesn't have the RAM for a big painting like this). post comment

More Practice [28 Feb 2006|09:47pm] andreags [ mood | exhausted ] Some more practice. Warm light from the upper right, cool from behind left. 2 comments|post comment

Underlighting makes people CREEPY! [23 Feb 2006|12:01pm] andreags [ mood | artistic ] Another lighting sketch; really pushed 45 min on this one. I should try to keep it to 30, but two light sources make things more complicated. I want to paint something with lighting like this just to get the lovely shadows cast by the eyelashes, which, unfortunately, didn't quite make it into the sketchy. Two warm light sources, one on either side, from below. 1 comment|post comment

Whoops! [18 Feb 2006|04:20pm] andreags [ mood | accomplished ] Uhh...I meant to post this to lionfishfancies: http://andreags.livejournal.com/78485.html Riiiight. post comment

Scar-free plastic surgery! ...only available to fictional characters [15 Feb 2006|10:46am] andreags [ mood | artistic ] WIP! Please excuse her manly chin and jaw. She will be undergoing intensive plastic surgery tonight, a delicate operation that will remove some of the bone beneath and... Well, her face will be fixed, to say the least. She's getting a hair makeover too. Lucky, lucky woman! All free! She still has to live in a desert though. Bummer. Thanks to the ever-amazing Linda Bergkvist, I've started to use some textured brushes on her skin. I mean, you can't really see them from so far away, but I think they really make a difference. Compare to my last computer-painted portrait, here. No textured brushes used on the figure. 13 comments|post comment
