Wolf and a skunk

A couple practice paintings I did that won't be used for anything, so here they are.

Just a sketch.

Sketchup

I started using Sketchup again today and found a render plugin called Skindigo that is awesome. It uses your sketchup model and renders it using some excellent ray tracing that cranks out a very photo realistic image. It helps to have a decent knowledge of sketchup, and with some messing around you can get some good results. Aside from the natural sun lighting you can also create interior lights and make fine-tuned adjustments to about every element of the image. Here are a couple renders I made that have only been running for a couple hours so they are still a little grainy.

Sci-Fi

Made a couple Sci-Fi paintings the last two days. Science Fiction is usually a genre I don't paint that much. I think I've always been more intrigued with medieval warriors and knights and that kind of thing. But it was fun to do these.
