Painter X Sketch

Another recent warm up sketch, created in Painter X and drawn from reference using an image from the superb photographer Marcus Ranum.


Have fun!

More Mosh

Unless we're on a deadline day, I normally try to make a warm-up image before work starts. I'll vary what I'm getting from the warm up; sometimes it will be some quick pose sketches, sometimes concepts and occasionally it will be a ref study. Here I've once again been inspired by a photo from a good friend of Cool Surface; Marcus Ranum and the amazingly versatile Mosh.

Unlike our previous work for Digital Arts that featured Mosh, I wasn't going for an exact likeness, this was more just for the fun of painting.

A shout out also goes to Caleb Kimbrough who runs the excellent Lost and Taken a great royalty free texture resource for supplying the wallpaper for the background. Thanks Caleb!

Have fun,
David

"The Dogs"

Welcome to the slightly re-vamped blog; now with added blue! Next in line for an upgrade is the official Cool Surface website; we'll keep you informed of when that will be launching. There have also been murmurings of a Cool Surface shop appearing in the not too distant future, so you could soon be able to adorn your walls with prints of sexy ladies, flying rats and more sexy ladies (we like sexy ladies). Hooray!

If the excitement hasn't all been too much for you, take a peek at this latest image, imaginatively titled "The Dogs"...

"Fractured Beauty"

We're not yet able to show you some of our recent artwork until it's been published, so for this week's post here's a personal piece that David made whilst playing around with Painter and Photoshop.


Enjoy! :)
