15 sec gestures and more

A while ago I eagerly joined a "200 pages of madness" challenge by Tessa Aalbregt (https://www.facebook.com/groups/185288861632624/), and in fact all I've done was the first pages - the 15 seconds gestures using random pose generator ( http://www.posemaniacs.com/randompose ) - I strongly recommend giving it a shot! Great way to upgrade your human drawing, maybe not with 15 seconds super-short sketches, but a bit longer studies! Another good site with photos this time is http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/

I also wanted to share a recent portrait for a board game. The game idea changed rather drastically now, and it doesn't have much to do with witches. Again, not really finished work, more of a WIP.

I decided to participate in latest Creature of the Week contest on Conceptart.org forums
(http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=272062)
- C.O.W. #305 - Flabby, Spotted, Carrion-Hoarder

And here is the creature:

It lacks some polishing, but had to finish it up before the deadline!

















The evolution comparison:

First post, the journey begins

This page was basically made to encourage me to practice and paint more, and, more importantly, to make publishable stuff done, since I had have troubles with polishing out my pieces, and finishing them. Actually, I tend to stop at the point of sketching. So, at least I plan to produce more sketches that (hopefully) I won't be ashamed to publish :)

I'll start with an excerpt from an image submitted for CGSociety XVII challange: Ten.

The full image is pretty much a failure, but I'm glad I managed to pull it off and finish the details, which, as I wrote before, is not usual in my case :)
