Anyways here's a peak at how Shadow in Angelic Armour is progressing!

I'm almost done with the pencils! Just gotta render and that's it! I'm genuinely havin' fun rendering his wings - it's a lot of detail but it's also a good experience to draw wings with care and make sure that they blend with the other elements! 



:star: Shadow Bare Chested And Half Armored... XD



Some photos to show of my WIPs - it's tradition and who doesn't like to see behind-the-scenes stuff?

I've also taken a photo of two acrylic paintings I did in the past couple of weeks - a quick study portrait I did from a photo (I actually envisioned my friend :iconelisebellatrix: while painting this... Don't worry Isabel I'll paint a proper one of you so long as I get a nicely composed photo/portrait of you ;)) and a plein air of a street in Fremantle in the wee hours of the evening (I was intrigued by the light and shadow produced from the lampost on the solitary tree sticking out of the street).

:star: Finally Back In The Mood To Draw...!



And I kid you not, I just couldn't do it for the past month. I just didn't have the right-mindset to sit down with my pencil and paper and just draw - it wasn't... Fun?


So I decided to take a break like most people would do. I focused on my new job, spent time with family as per usual, did some plein air with acrylics (that was alot of fun and different! Definitely doing more of that in future along with portait paintings of my friends and people I've admired throughout my life), caught up with friends I'm close to on Skype and made new ones recently.


But what got me back for some strange reason is the comic dramas. So a big thank you once again goes to :iconashie-kins: giving me that spark I needed to get back into a creative zone.


I've just spent the past couple of days off work fine-tuning my next SCD project - Chaotix Quest. I just completed it this morning and was immensely pleased with the audio. I can't wait to pull it off in SCD format! But that will have to wait cuz I have other priorities to tackle from the hobby side of things - and that is my commissioned work.


So to :iconchicago-pd-stars: I do sincerely apologise if it has taken so long for me to get myself back into the groove of things but I'm now ready to tackle your massive commission - I've upgraded it to Australia A3 sized paper which is slightly bigger than the one I did with Bristol board for :iconkafelnikov:'s commission.


Anyways I'm going to work on the preliminaries/thumbnails after I come back from work. For now I have :iconnamineri:'s illustration to complete.


Twin, I'll ask that you take a look at your options below. Please let me know which one of the three you'd rather I tackle in terms of composition - each has it's pros and cons in details and impact. Looking forward to completing your illustration on the weekend! And Rob yours will be right after (along with :iconironhedgehog:'s commission).
