The Gloomer

A full character sheet of my previous post/painting.
I'm not too sure about the anatomy, but its still an improvement compared to other past paintings.

The Gloomer (B&W Portrait)

So much fun making the Gloomer as gross as possible! I am going to paint a full view colour Gloomer, because I find him just so awesome.

PN: Photoshop went a little weird when I was painting the collar, the greys wouldn’t blend well. Luckily the collar was the only thing I had to do so it didn’t effect the rest of the painting.

From Redwall Wiki:

The Gloomer was an enormous, frightening, mindless black water rat that lived in the underground lake of Kotir and was controlled by Tsarmina and her army. Verdauga captured and imprisoned him long ago. He was used as a sort of attack animal to fight the wildcat's enemies and met his demise upon battling the vicious Stormfin, an enormous pike, in the River Moss.

The Gloomer was blind and hard of hearing, but had enhanced smell. He did not exhibit self-consciousness and was veritably insane from many seasons of imprisonment in the dark lake.

Abaddon Ukiyo-e

Abaddon, Lord of Chaos, and the main villain of the PS2 game, Primal

I had a lot of fun with that line work and trying to write/paint Abaddon's name in Japanese (don't butcher me if I've got it wrong! I used Google Translate) The script in the background are quotes from the game put through the translator, but you can't really read it.

NOTE: I don't know how to do translucence without killing the picture quality, so that light blue/grey is meant to be invisible.

Pike Bait / Ol' Abbaron

Nothing like a online contest to get those art juices flowing.

This is my first, real, attempt to add colour onto a black and white painting. It turned out a lot better than so of the other attempts in the past.



Dump

Some unfinished works that I didn't have the heart to finish.

The Vûûk: Size Chart

Just a little something to break up those Redwall portraits.

This is a Vûûk, commonly known as Lava Ammonites, that dwelling in the volcanic islands on my fantasy world, Dahllol. They are filter feeders, shifting the nutrients pushed up from the earth’s core, and are in turn preyed upon by the Okslann Deep (Lava Mosasaur)

Blimey! Painting that shell was boring. Haha!

Badrang the Tyrant Portrait

I think Badrang is just pleased he actually looks like a stoat this time (yes, I'm looking at you, crappy TV cartoon character design - seriously? A Black 'stoat' that look more like an mishapen canine?-)


Would have been nice if didn't have to re-paint this halfway through thanks to Photoshop crashing. That'll teach me not to save regularly.

It also would have been nice that, while painting this, I didn't have a nightmare of this character burning me alive on a pyre...
