Christian Bale Montage


2011 Pen & Ink, coloured in Photoshop with Wacom bamboo Tablet.
This is another project for my course. Create a portrait of someone famous with a background relative to them.
For this project we had a multiple choice on what we'd do. We were told to only go for the famous portrait if we had a real knack for likenesses. I don't know if I quite nailed the likeness, but adapting real faces into comic book form is something I'd like to get good at.
I've at least gotten to know Mr. Bale's face a lot better. He has a very distinct nose and a mole next to his eyes. Pronounced cheek bones too.

Master Of The Moon


2011 Water colour and Gouache.
Album cover artwork I made for a school assignment. It's supposed to be the cover of a Dio album. I purposely chose an album I've never seen, so it wouldn't affect my ideas. I had a look at it after I finished; the real deal is way cooler.
I really enjoyed making this piece. Paintings not really my forte, but I'm pretty happy with the result.
I can say I'm well and truly sick of this piece, though. I think the problem was that I took a week long break from it and when it came to finish; I wasn't feeling the mojo.
