details on return of pod people

This piece took about 4 days worth of work, as part of a revamp on some of my pulp fiction themes. This particular painting was done in oil, and here you can see some of the process. I first start with a under painting done in acrylic then I will do a wash over in oil. After laying in key color swatches I will blend the colors in a unified flow. Painting faces and hand tend to be most challenging for me, especially at this small size. The painting is over all 18x24, but the face it self is only 2x3 inches.

I won’t tell you what feature I chose to enhance, as I’m sure you all will figure it out soon enough.  Below, is the sketch I ...

I  was rushing to get to the bank before it closed (Saturday) but something seemed off once I opened the package. 1st. red flag ....was the name of the check...the check was under a different name!. I thought maybe it was the guys assistant which he did mention was going to handle his affairs , (since he was in the hospital..) 2nd. red flag was the check paper it self.. The paper itself felt a little light,, and the signature was digitally printed in a different opacity than the rest of the print type. Being a freelance artist for almost 2 de...

[oil painting 20x24 on canvas] Making up a character is a great feeling, but not as great as creating its supporting cast. And in my art work, having sexy delights in front of viewer, lets everyone share in the fun. This painting took about a week from concept to finish.
