For Future Reference: Forests & Trees...

 

I especially love the roots on the two uprooted redwoods above. They'll definitely be used as a reference for a characters costume or some kind of scenery :D

Coloured Silhouettes...

As posted earlier, here are my previous silhouettes now coloured in:

Again a couple of nice ones but I think my little kick-boxer guy looks better in silhouette so I'll come back to that another time. Let me know which work best and I'll keep them coming :D

More Silhouettes..

This time with no colour. Yet!

I'm going to play around with them shortly so please leave feedback if you fancy and I'll get colouring soon :D

More Playing with Silhouettes...

I think they're gradually getting more interesting too!...

I really like these ones but I have special fondness for my solemn rat giant, more so in black and white I think too :)

Playing with Silhouettes...

After Phil sent me the link to a character design tutorial I thought I'd have a go at some myself. While drawing them I kept my soundscape on loop in the background to see what happened:

I keep getting caught out by thinking too much as I do them, which is why there's only these 6 instead of lots of pages of them. Still, I'm pretty excited about doing more and I do quite like my little dragon man :D

Playing in Photoshop Continued...

I really need to improve my photoshop skills, so I thought I'd have a go at a nice landscape based on the colours I made today:

It's not great obviously but it's nice enough.  Not a bad start to improving skills :D

Playing in Photoshop...

I had a go at listening to my soundscape and splatting some stuff together in photoshop. After that mess I played around with the different layers and here's what I have so far:

2 Layers:

Many Layers:

 

 

They're all pretty samey but that's because I was learning and making little changes as I went. Lots of ideas for backgrounds now though! :D
