Mistletoe - WIP 8

Have finished the male character now, going to move onto colouring the female character next! :-)

Mistletoe - WIP 7

Done some character painting this time. Still really enjoying this!

Mistletoe - WIP 6

Now you can see I've added the final lighting effects and also the fire! I need to add the christmas decor and the background will be finished. I will be hiding the lighting effects whilst I paint the characters, though, and just showing them on the final result. I'm really liking how this is turning out already... :-)

I think to date I've spent 7 hours on this piece so far.

Mistletoe - WIP 4 & 5

Ok, at the top is WIP 4! I've painted in most of the background now (just need to add a cosy fire to that fireplace and some Christmas decorations!).

The bottom picture, WIP5, shows how I've changed the colour scheme. I like this one more, its warmer and more appealing so I will stick with this one for now, methinks.

Mistletoe - Flat Colours

Flat colours for the commission I'm working on. Next, for the background. :-)

Mistletoe - Sketch

This is (hopefully) the final sketch for the commission I submitted concepts for yesterday. I really like this! God bless Posemaniacs.com though, that site is great for pose stock to help with anatomy! I'm having a lot of fun on this piece so far!

Subject to the commissioners approval I can start painting this up. I'm really looking forward to it!

Mistletoe - Concepts

Some concepts for a commission.. :-)

Ok so, Concept 1 (top) is meant to be the two characters laying down (on a bed?) with the male dangling some mistletoe! I thought maybe they could also be laying ona rug with a fire in the background, or a window to a snowy scene, etc etc.

Concept 2 (bottom left) is meant to be the characters snuggled up in bed.

Concept 3 (bottom right) could be a more easily adapted scene in terms of location. Indoors, next to a roaring fire? On a snowy hill? (etc etc)
