Tough Times to be a Knight

Finally! Fantasy genre!
So I was thinking....if this were a movie or game...each team or faction has to train some kind of monster or beast. Once the monsters are ready to fight, the teams have to battle their opponent's monsters. Yeah, I'm kind of a dork.

Compositionnnn

Ok, so the tank illustration started out as a still life of a german king tiger model I have. I put the drawing into an environment and painted it.
The third group of images are some composition studies for Shaddy's class.

Stunt Road

Went to Stunt road with Shaddy and Tony yesterday.
Awesome part about daylight savings, sunsets at 4pm! Not so awesome part about daylight savings....the sun goes down too fast!
I had this little toy on my desk...so I decided to put it in my painting.

By Myself at Vasquez Rocks

I went to Vasquez Rocks to paint today. Really windy! Almost lost my laptop and umbrella....
I added some Union Soldiers for interest...I love America!

Forest Lawn

Went to Forest Lawn Cemetary to paint today. This kind of feels....October-ie? An overcast day doesn't create the best lighting, however...I was finally able to get some mood out of this one! All my other life paintings are sunny and cheery.

Tank Study, Pen to Paper?!?

My brother and I built this King Tiger over a year ago, and I thought it would make an awesome still life.

It's been a while since I've posted a drawing on this so-called...."paper".

St. Monica's Church, Plein-Air Painting
