Painting – Too Old For Halloween – Part 1

November 9, 2008 in Artwork, Digital Painting by Vyoma | 2 comments

I wanted to do a colored version of the illustration, Too Old For Halloween.

I grossly under-estimated the amount of effort this would take.

 

Too Old For Halloween - Painting - Part 1

With the amount of detail, and my choice of color palette – added to that the two sources of light, takes up quite a bit of effort to paint.

As you can see, I have approached this from back to front. And on each of those level/layer, I detail them with a fat/large brush to a fine/small brush.  Stay tuned – I will finsih up painting by detailing the two main characters, and perhaps adjusting some color levels.

    I reckon it’d look cool with just one (moon) light source, it’d make it look more creepy. Either that or maybe just do it cell shaded with some blending on the inner edges?

    Just some ideas…

    Best of luck! :)

    Hmmm, cell shaded/cut-edge shaded. I like that idea, Ronnie.

    I guess I will be doing that right after I finish this one. :)
