Another one up for viewing.
Called 'The Shot', this seemed far more difficult than my first digital painting, i think because the character was more open in the scene, and therefore i had to actually draw the body as a whole.
Trying to draw a hand is ridiculously hard, but trying to draw one in proportion and showing intent, is even harder.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Airbrushing
I've had an airbrush for at least a year now and yet my total hours spent on it would be about 20. After the first few incredibly disappointing attempts (which I now know were mostly paint issues and technique), I decided to rage quit. I picked it up a few months later, only to be repeatedly frustrated again by lack of technique and paint flow issues.
Fast forward to a few days ago, thanks to tips from Ashley Brayson and Jay Ferguson, I modified my airbrush to loosen the trigger tension, bought a smaller needle, sealed my threads and dialled my psi way up to 50! Then, armed with a new medium (Acrylic ink this time!) and a few helpful youtube

They would see two very different styles/genres of art, and if people google my work, i don't want a zombie popping up when they're looking for a children's book illustrator! That is why i upgraded and changed my username. This way i can continue to make the weird and macabre stuff, without turning prospective clients off. Plus i really like the n

Wow, I just noticed that my deviant page has reached 1000 views! I didn't think I'd get to 100, so this is very humbling. Just want to say thanks to anyone and everyone who has clicked on any of my deviations and a big thanks to everyone who has added any of my art to their favourites!
Cheers!
