Puragtory Oz
My other other final, this one from Sam Nielson's digital painting class. Definitely the single project with the most hours I've ever worked on something. Included some close-ups so you can get some idea of the detail that went into it.

Rhino Monster thing - one last time

3rd form finished
A couple posts ago, I showed the sketching process for the rhino-beast form of the wizard from Wizard of Oz. Here's how the piece turned out - I did the final sketch in photoshop first then colored it, then went back and made some changes with color variety to add more visual interest (per advice from Justin Kunz).

3rd form sketches
Some of you might be surprised to know that this creature is in the Wizard of Oz. Look it up.
Here's my latest assignment for a class, still in the drafting/sketch phase.

Oz Updates
Updates for my concept design class:
Finalized my concept for Dorothy; after some advice from my teacher, I warmed up the colors and put a little bit more red into the cheeks. He also advised to make the pupils larger, but I think its a bit more my style to keep them small. I'm fairly pleased with the way it is now though, so this will probably be the finished version:
Because I liked the Tin Woodsman design so much, I wanted to work it into an environment. After spending all night trying to work something out, this was my first attempt:
The real problem that I realized was that my trees suck and I don't have much of a knack for leaves. Mainly I was trying to paint them individually and I need to learn how to better paint them as clumps/masses of single color. On my second time around I recycled the forest background to become a kind of dingy, bleak sky. I gave it more of a wasteland appearance to fit the feeling of loneliness that the Tin Man would more realistically feel with the absence of a heart (instead of the sort of goofy, nonsensical "I would ____ but I don't have a heart" he's always saying in the story). I switched the butterfly out for a bird to change the narrative of the piece a little since a bird implies that the Tin Man is chopping down its home, making it all the more meaningful to contemplate what would be going through his mind as the bird perched on his finger, especially with the apparent lack of compassion due to his missing organ.
Our latest assignment was to paint an environment from the story and do a color key for it. I chose the Witch's castle. On my first try I spent alot more time developing the sketch and design of the castle than I did the color study; the result was not sooo great and kind of messy.
On my second try, I kept things much simpler and went for an easier, creepier color scheme.

Dorothy, Redesigned
After some critiques from fellow classmates and my teacher, I made some changes to Dorothy. Here's the new one.
Gave her dress some folds, added more shadows and rim lighting in different places, gave her more realistic hair with strands, thicker eyebrows and larger pupils for a more childlike look, took the bow off her front (cuz according to the girls in my class, no such dress exists with a bow on the front :/ ) and put it on her ponytail.

Oz
This semester I'm taking a concept design course and our design focus is on the story The Wizard of Oz. I will say up front that we are designing the BOOK, not redesigning the movie, hence the blonde Dorothy with silver slippers and the Tin Woodsman sans the funnel cap.
