Hit the brakes!

Sorcha's Despair is temporarily on hold.

I have a model from Deviant Art who said she'd send me some reference pictures for that pose. I have a couple of computer models in that pose, which are helpful... however I'm thinking that I need to see it modeled. I'm just not FEELING the anguish, sorrow, despair, hate, anger, rage from the computer models.

I want to be able to put those feelings into the painting.. I must see it.

I downloaded trials of ArtRage 3 and Corel Painter 12. I'm gonna play around with those a little I think.
I also signed up for a year of ImagineFX magazine which I probably shouldn't have done... for financial reasons but I was feeling so down. I wanted it! I can't wait to get the first issue.

Sorcha complete!

So my first painting of Sorcha is complete. I'm happy she's done. She has consumed my dreams, and my waking available (when I'm not consumed by babies or toddler! Oye!) hours.
I'm really tired...

I am really proud of her. I hope in a year when I look back on her, I will still be proud of her! lol. I was looking through some of my old work today and was going.... what was I thinking... these are terrible!!


So far it's my best painting to date. I will continue getting better though. Here is a close up of her face, and necklace. The necklace I found during a google search for "Celtic Moon". I tried to find the owner to credit them with the design, however I couldn't locate them. If anyone knows who is the owner of this design please let me know!



Now for my next one! I'm thinking a fan art of World of Warcraft. God I haven't played in like weeks though... so I'm wondering if I want to become addicted again to feel the inspiration... or do I just want to draw another Sorcha. I have a great one in my mind...
