Belated (and incomplete!) Week 2 Submission - Rumplestiltskin

Hey guys, I'm Trev. Sorry I didn't contribute anything for Week 1. I started this Rumplestiltskin piece for Week 2 with the best of intentions, but between packing to move and illustrating a not-terribly-successful webcomic, I didn't get a chance to finish it in time.

But yeah, as you can see, we've got ol' Rumpy stealing the millworker's daughter's baby after stitching her lips shut with golden thread to keep her from saying his name. I might revisit this at a later time. As it is, a weekly piece like this is a lot to add to my schedule, so don't expect a ton of contributions from me.

Peace.

WEEK #3 monsters

Much like justin, i sadly have nothing to contribute for week #2. But i've been tasked with coming up with this weeks topic. I wanna see monsters. Anything from traditional movie style to out of this world designs. The goal; make em scary!

Submission fail.

Ugh, sorry about not posting this week guys, I never got a chance to work on my piece, I will prolly make it a backburner submission and work on it between other pieces and get it posted when I can. Looking foreward to this next weeks topic to get one done and submitted on time.

Weekly #2 Grim Fairy Tale

Hey there little red riding hood, what a big knife you have...

Ok so i started off loving this piece and as time wen on i got less and less enchanted with it. I think my problem was i didn't spend enough time on the initial sketch getting mostly everything right. I didn't use enough reference on the clothing and as a result it came out a little bland in my opinion, and lastly i used dodge to try and correct some lighting and using the standard dodge soft brush is a bad idea and i think it just detracted from my initial more stylized "dirty" painting.

On that note, i would really like to encourage everyone to give some more feedback on peoples stuff, I've been slacking myself but i'm going to get on it a little more starting this week, for me personally i want my work torn to shreds so if you see anything wrong with any of my stuff, or maybe see something that you would have done different i'd love to hear it, thats the whole point of this art blog and as a result i think we'll all grow as artists if we can keep critiques good and constructive. Thanks guys, looking forward to everyones weeklys!

Next week

Ok so i forgot to mention that DeathToVideodrome will be picking the next weekly. Hopefully people will get their stuff up tonight so we can get an early start tomorrow.

Work in progress

Hey guys, Im working on a piece with my buddy Leo and thought I would post the work in progress. Feel free to tell me what you think. Criticism is always appreciated.
