Park Done

Finished tonight, but DA is down for maintenance so I can't submit this. Decided to ditch the jacket idea and just kept it clean and simple. Switched the gloves for the wrist band because gloves just aren't really punk are they?

Park for Lynsey

I decided to enter Lynsey's contest to design a character for her story frankie*SNATCH. There were two characters for the contest, a girl named Mai and a dude named Park. I'm assuming Park is Korean since every guy I knew from school named Park was Korean. Well here are his stats:

Name: Park
Gender: Male
Age: 18-20
Ethnicity: Asian
Tips: Park opts for sharp cut outfits and simple, mainly dark colours, occasionally with a punk/visual influence.

So the deadline is pretty much today and all I have is a rough sketch/speedpaint. But she said that the winner will be announced March 5th so I have til then to really get an entry in. Here's my design thus far:



I wanted to go with a clean-cut look for his hair and I'm thinking of decking him out in a bomber jacket with a half done tie. Probably some gloves too. I'm gonna try to stay away from leather since I've been doing too much of that lately.

All about the leather

Just posting a commission in progress shot. I'm finally happy with the face. Everything else should be easy since I don't need to reference the rest, except maybe the girl's face. I think I'm on a leather kick, and after beating Devil May Cry 4, I decided to add more coolness to the leather jacket a la Dante. When I'm done with the basic leather coloring, I can take it into Photoshop and add some grain leather texture to the jacket too. Hopefully my client likes the coloring style so far. I refuse to ease up on the leather details, but in turn it takes me longer to finish a painting. Well, what can you do right?
