Everest (Env 19)
I’ve been experimenting with a unique grid paint program called Hexels 2.5 in which you paint with blocks, octagons, and other shapes. It is great for pixel and isometric art. It’s also great for blocking in because it forces you to paint on a grid and this is effective in preventing you from adding details. After I got it blocked in, I imported the painting into Photoshop and painted the details in.

Foggy Valley Below the Mountains (Env 14)
Today’s env study. I used a dry brush to give it a texture feel. Ref from Wikimedia
Desert (Env 8)
One of my daily environment studies. It was fun to paint the rocks and sand. Added a figure for scale. As always I used Wikimedia Commons for reference as I painted this
Nuevo Bridge (Env 7)
Although I do these studies on a regular almost daily basis, I haven’t gotten into the habit of uploading them to the blog after finishing them. I feel like I’m starting to loosen up. As with many of my studies, I used Wikimedia Commons for references (CC-AB).
Env 1
Since CTNx is over, I decided to switch my dailies to Environment Drawings and studies. I also plan on doing animal studies and movie style poster illustrations when I have time.
Abstract Ollice Version 2 (D42)
After getting some sleep, I look at the painting and decided to see if I could push it farther. The spheroid changed into a fluffy, multi eyed, serpentine monstrosity. The painting now has a clear back, middle, and foreground, thanks to adding broken ship parts in the foreground, and painting the rest of the body in the back. I might have lost some of the spontaneity of the first one but think it is a better picture overall. Might push it even farther..
