Corel Painting No. 2: Special Interspecial


Corel Painting No. 2: Vulturaffe
(entry for Conceptart.org contest)
Time to competrion: approx 3-4 hours, not consecutive.
And while watching TV which I find distracting.

Okay, here we go, Corel Painting No. 2!!! Already I'm much improved in timing and muddying, which is very encouraging for me. I'm feeling the 10 paintings are troublesome, but much needed. Also am in the beginning of my month of portfolio, and in the process of moving (and trying to get rid of my scrapped Saturn). Nothing but drawing for me!

This piece was an interesting one. I recently joined conceptart. org, and amazing forum for pros and entry-level pros like myself. One of the best things about the website is that they set up weekly competitions with different subjects. This one is the first I've entered, and was to create a creature by blending two unrelated species together. Obviously I made a pretty ugly Vulture-giraffe combo. The original sketch was turning out way too cute though so I tried to make it a bit stranger...


Yep... way too cute. Like a happy four-legged ostrich. I was definitely pleased with the final outcome of the contest though, and plan to do one a week for a few months while brushing up on my drawing. That should get me ready for London!
