The old site is down, time for a new project page.
I'm coming up with 17 images for a hymnal, and have already gone through the rough thumbnail sketches. I'll leave the choice of which hymn this applies to up to public opinion, but I wanted to show my method and approach for others to have a better idea of my workflow. First we have the rough thumbnails. There were many, but lets just stick with these four for now. This is just for ideas, the final image rarely resembles the thumb.
Next we have the rough. It's just a way for me to get an idea of color and space. Sorry folks, the doggie doesn't make it to the final pic.
I drew in the background first this time, a definite no-no most of the time, but while angels make wonderful models, they're impossible to fit into a schedule.
And the almost done version. Later I'll be removing Alejandro on the bridge and adding light and shadow to the water, but this is enough for now. I like the pic to be as interesting up close as from a distance.
I actually ended up with two separate pics this time, the top half of heaven and the bottom image of the angel looking to earth. Given time I would make it into an extra long triptych but there are other images that need to be done.
Perhaps another day.
