Ste's Spaceman

This spaceman image is totally self-indulgent. I was mainly inspired by the movie ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’. The main idea was to have a spaceman floating in space next to something dream like or surreal. So I decided to have butterflies coming out of his oxygen supply.

Above is the rough sketch

Here’s the watercolour image. I am not totally happy with the outcome of spaceman because blue is such a hard colour to paint with. So I am going to redo this image using pencil and digital. Then I can try out lots of different colour schemes.

Ste's Work Space

This is what my desk looks like at the moment. I have finally put that framed poster up. Also I am working on something new.

Current Workspace

The next project I have started is the Creature brief for Peculiarbliss magazine. The creature I am illustrating is a goblin sat on a toadstool smoking a cig, having a break from work. Above is the sketch for the goblin.

 

Started adding the detail.

Finished Butterfly Image

This is the final and finished version of the butterfly. I spend ages trying out different backgrounds but none of them were working. They over shadowed the butterfly. Afterwards I finally found a background that worked. 

Ste's Work In Progress

This is my finished watercolour butterfly. Seen as I haven’t painted for mouths, I think it’s turned out really well. Next thing to do is put into Photoshop. Below is a more zoomed in image, showing the detail on the butterfly's body
