Some folks like to portray their futuristic images in a shiny, brand new kinda style and there is nothing wrong with that approach but I generally like to give my pieces a more run down appearance, so my future has a lived-in look. I prefer this even when I’m not doing a dystopian style, because that is how the world really looks and our present is your grandparent’s future…
#1 underpainting
#2 work in progress
So here I am juxtaposing her shiny new impact armor with a run down background. Even when you don't try to read anything else into it, this approach helps segregate the figure from the ground; otherwise a uniform shiny approach would tend to flatten the image and that really pisses me off
I really like this one, sort of abstract.
Yet another attempt in my quest to be sharp and loose at the same time
Another happy medium.
I strive to walk the middle path
