Mistake the process of this Fantasy Dungeon and Dragons style oil painting


So I spent a bit of time painting this project. I started out working on my Ipad with Procreate, creating a lineart. I really focused on getting the linework done completely, so that I didn't have to work on it in the middle of the paintings. So with this I had a couple of goals

  • Create a DnD style painting
  • Make the perspective something that was not straight on
  • Work with Facial Expressions

For references I found that these books were great, having several photographs from multiple angles.

Hyper Angle Vol 3

Hyper Angle Vol 4. 


I also spent the time working on 3d mockup because I felt like the tentacles were feeling flat while I was painting. So I quickly mocked up this 3d image in order to get a better idea of shape and form.

How To Paint Like A Pro: Process Video for My Oilpainting Called The Hunter

Not every project goes well, I had an idea for a hunter 

The Hunter is based off of a Urban fantasy concept, a Dhampir, half vampire half human, who hunts things that go bump in the night. Sonja has been fighting the darkness for a long time, every night keeps her busy keeping the dark creatures at bay, and like most of use, tends to live in clutter, her clutter is just a bit more deadly than most. So are her cats.
