nice! these are all done with "brush-molding"? and do you use reference photos at all?

GMrDrew In reply to theDURRRRIAN [2013-02-21 01:55:30 +0000 UTC]

basically its like sculpting, but with a brush. i think its actually called brush-sculpting now that i mention it. but like sculpting, it starts witha slab of mush, then its refined and rendered over and over until it becomes a beautiful piece of work. unlike most digital paintings, theres almost-to-no guidleines (pencils, inks, etc) when you start a piece. but it ends up lookin awesome like what i see here. the strongest reason why i brought it up was because these are done in black'n'gray, like most brush-sculpting.

if this wasnt brush-sculpting, i'd love to see ur process

oh that yeah, my process is a mixture of that and some guidelines in the beginning. its more like me violently pushing and pulling the mess on the canvas till i get the shapes i want, so it is a pretty ugly process XD

Incredible! It's just amazing! By the way, the middle and the right ones remind me of Effy Stonem. Maybe their expressions...

Awesome job!

is the third one on the far left the girl from warm bodies? the best friend of the girl who falls i love with the zombie? it's like most of these i can see some similar qualities to some actresses i might know, but it's like i can't quite put my finger on who it is. But i'd say you're really close and on the right track

theDURRRRIAN In reply to lifebyedeath [2013-02-20 11:46:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh. Well it still looks amazing but in that case I do think that while the middle one is perfect, I immediately knew it was Kaya,the one on the left kinda reminded me of another actress or model, whose name I don't recall.
