Three Head Concepts

Head concepts for a character of mine done in Painter X.

Bald Girl head study part 1 of series

The Tragic Couple

A weekend project. I thought a lesbian version of the tragic couple would be kinda cool. This was done in Painter X. Still trying to experiment with new brushes and effects.

Genie Study

Started doodling someone for the Hunter to hunt. Trying to learn some new brushes in painter and just get back to basic shapes. Bill Sanchez's class is really starting to sink in now that I am on summer vacation. Can't wait to re-paint this one.

The Genie Hunter

A loose color study from reference. I am going to try and loosen up a bit more and try some more painterly, gestural strokes. I will repaint this one soon. I thought it would be cool to design a guy that hunts down genies and kills them.

Baako Noblewoman

A Baako noblewoman's scepter usually contains the burning remains of young voudun initiates. Inhaling these plumes of smoke is rumored to be what gives them their power and their beauty.

Ramsha's Third Eye

This started as a doodle this morning.

300

I was inspired to do this speed painting by the quadruple amputee in 300. Yes, I was bored.

Arnaud Profile Study

A friend of mine suggested I show this guy in profile to better explain how the hat looks when worn. Good suggestion. I pencilled and painted this yesterday fairly quickly so not too much detail.

Arnaud Anwar Thibault

Arnaud of the Proud People and his sparrow Enu.

Creole Mystic

I was supposed to go to class today, but my bathroom flooded. So since I was already home I decided to work on some character designs. This is from my French-African universe. He is a Middle-class Creole mystic and his familiar is the sparrow on his shoulder. I did it in col-erase pencil. Hopefully I can paint it soon.

Tyus the Divine

This is a concept based on Hindu mythology. A Child-King born with the soul of an evil warlord. This painting was inspired by Indra Sharma, the greatest Hindu painter of all time.

Mike

This is a friend from my Heads and Hands one class.

T.H.

My weekend project. A little loose, but I am satisfied. I hope she likes it.

Belamos

This was my spiring break project. I decided to re-deign one of my characters using only a silhouette. I did the original thumbs in brushpen, imported them in, and then worked the whole thing up from black and white. I don't think i am done yet, but I am running out of things to paint on this one.

Young Mother Earth

A study I did today using painter and CS3.

Asian Jesus.....Woman

Why not?????......... A quick study I did today using painter.

Officer Rudeaux Final

Officer Rudeaux

A design I finished this morning. Sort of a Sci-Fi, French-African Police Woman from the future. I'm in the process of doing a series of character designs based on French and African history, sort of a new France, if you will.

These are some character concepts I've been working on lately. Trying to take more time and learn how to render in a more painterly style. Also really trying to get down faces. My heads and hands class is really gonna help me this semester.
