Effie Trinket Mockingjay inspired look/portrait for a time-lapse video.

Here is a quick inspired painting I created (for a time-lapse painting video) of Effie Trinket with a custom Mockingjay look I created for her. While I always enjoyed her crazy and fabulous Capitol looks, for this painting I wanted to create a darker look to show her likely support for the uprising. The blood splatter across her face symbolizes both the uprising as well as the part she played as a propaganda tool for the Capitol in the annual Hunger Games. Since I do love her colorful looks too, however, I may consider doing another, and much lighter painting of her in the future as well. We probably won't see her looking anything like this in the film but I thought it would be interesting to create a look like this for her. 

Really enjoyed Mockinjay but wow it's going to be hard to wait for part 2 now. Definitely as great as the other two films but much darker.



I apologize for all of the zooming in and out throughout the video, I zoom in and out a lot during my workflow and editing all of this out would be a nightmare for me. 

 Anyway, hope you all enjoy it!

New finished painting!

Hey everyone!

Finally got around to finishing this one. Started it I think over a year ago and have been working on quite a few different paintings at the same time including this one. Have some extra free time this week and hope to finish some of the others as well. Hope you all like it and thanks for your visit!

New humanoid alien work in progress preview!

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since my last post due to the fact that I've been busy with a new job and life but also because I've been actually working on several paintings at the same time - some of which will be for a solo exhibition that I will have at the Kelied gallery in September which will have a celestial/sci fi theme (will post an update about this again in the future). This work in progress is a preview of one of them that I'm currently working on - she is a type of humanoid alien creature. I love painting humanoid alien type characters as I think they are beautiful and interesting to paint. There are so many possible directions to go in with the design and I find that a lot of fun.

I would also like to mention that I'm planning to perhaps move this blog to my website in the future and will try and post updates more often.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by! :)
