Devilish Grin FINAL

Made a few changes to finalize this one.... finally!

*Whew*
Had to make a lot of decisions on this one...
I wanted to try something little more risque with the BG colors, so i tried mixing some cools up top to transition the heat and make her pop a bit more. May still change some things :)
Also ended up rendering her out a bit more for more of a polished/ finished look.
Added a little blood drip too... thought it adds a bit of a sinister feel to it... switches the vibe up a bit.
Not something I'm necessarily used to but it is fun to get into it every once and a while.

Devilish Grin Update 4

So Ive abandoned the painting on her for a bit and started playing with some color styles and treatments on the background. A lot of options here but mostly I'm having fun trying some different and more daring combinations... something that working digitally is very good at :)
I'll eventually try to do some things to marry it all together and make sure that the focus remains front and center with the rose once that's rendered, but at this point I'm still not sure how it'll end up...

Devilish Grin Update 3

A few more changes as I continue to flesh this one out.
The hair changed once again :)
Though I'm not sure it's balancing out the piece quite how I would like.
I started rendering a bit more and I'm starting to play with some other brushes as well.
Still a ways to go on this one.

Devilish grin Update 2

Continuing work on this one...
I made a drastic hair change here and its probably something I'll continue to play with throughout. Still not sure about the color scheme but I went ahead and started working out a rough background as well.
This will all change as I start to detail it and experiment with the color mood a bit.

Devilish Grin Update 1

I've blocked in her shapes and started adding some details in on the face.
I tend to stereotypically think red when I think devil, but I think I may try to stay away from that cliche as I move forward...
we'll see.

Devilish grin...

Here's a sketch for an illustration I'll be working on...
Thought I'd post this one in stages as I go.

Indiana Jones Masterpieces

In addition to Star Wars Galaxy I was asked to sketch up a few cards for Topps "Indiana Jones Masterpieces" series.
I did a lot more of these than the Star Wars ones (about 200).
As a result, these were meant to be quicker, less rendered sketches than the Star Wars cards.
Both series contain some really great art from some amazing artists.
These are the 6 I have currently in my possession, which are also available for purchase.
