Lady of the Lake progress


Fiiiinally putting some more paint on this. Scrubbing in some value for the clouds. Sorry about the shitty picture, I have only my phone camera at the moment...

Color study


Progress shot of the cards. I did several gradient map layers and then erased in and out of them, then painted on top one I had something I liked.

This year's card set - WIP




Just doing 3 this time. I started out with 5 and really liked the rythm of figures between each card, but I didn't have enough characters in mind and couldn't figure out who would go in the middle two anyway. So 3 it is. Here's the thumbnail, more refined sketch, and value study.

Lady of the Lake

For Illustration Master Class, I chose to do an illustraion of the Lady of the Lake. And then I wasted a bunch of time watching westerns and suddenly decided to add a western theme.


Here's the whole progression from thumbnails to preliminary sketches to the painting underway. I haven't finished it yet. It's my first attempt at illustrating in oils so I'm learning a lot!
