Propel

The original painting I'd done of this character for Propel, my thesis work, wasn't as grounded as I liked. I reworked it keeping in mind that it might be used a cover image and not just the first page in the book. This meant it needed to be simple and clear.


After I finished it up last night, I couldn't bring myself to scoop up excess paint and make a happy gray out of it, so my morning miniature happened quickly late evening.

  1. Soo excellent! While it IS simple and clear, it speaks volumes through the dynamic composition! All of those wonderful diagonals along with the painterly expression-WOW!
