Last Stand

This piece is sort of inspired by the Scottish highlands and a little bit of Scottish history. But the premise of this piece is open to interpretation really. 

It was a lot of fun making this, especially the mountains and the creating movement in the foreground. 

High Res

Heres a break down of the process. 

Process

Ancient Greek Town

So heres a small town inspired by ancient Greek architecture.

Final

Heres the stages before hand. I start by roughing out the shapes and the composition in black and white. Working in black and white really helps figure out your values before adding colour. I also really enjoy figuring out the lighting of a scene, using it to draw attention to certain areas.

Stage 1 

Stage 2 

After black and white ill overlay some colours on top. Best to get this done sooner rather than later so it looks more natural. From this stage on it shall be mostly the detailing stage. In the final the canvas was sized was increased to give the river along the bottom more breathing room.
