This is about 2 hours of work, split into 2 sessions. After painting and colouring, I ran GMIC and my Modern Cinema FX set at "feel the heat" to get what you see here. I’m trying really hard to find that balance between "too little" detail and "just enough."

Another lunchbreak special. It took me 4 tries to get that fist even remotely how I wanted it.

Another speed-painting. Was testing out a new wooden mannequin, and this is the result. Punched up the colour a touch using my modern cinema fx filter in G’MIC. About 1 hour on this one.

This was a speed painting I threw together today over lunch. It took me about 20 minutes. I ran my own g’mic filter (modern cinema fx) to create an adjustment layer, slightly altering the tone of the original.

A quick exercise in the Gimp. I did it using techniques picked up from idrawgirls.com I’m fairly pleased with how this turned out for just an hour or two of drawing.
