Most of the people within The Center may recognize my art before they know the artist. Well, for those who have been wondering who had painted the famous Davy Jones, you may now have a face to the name.
Originally beginning as a Digital Painting 100 assignment, this portrait took me roughly 24 hours worth of effort to complete, and was the first great creation to emerge from my mind/hands since attending CATO. I began with an initial drawing, on an 11' by 14' bristol sheet, then scanned it into Photoshop, fixing minor mistakes to the design. Afterwards, I continued to labour over it with the help of several reference images to get the shading and lighting right. Adding the recognisable dual black lines of Widescreen, the painting looked close to a screenshot.
Considering there seemed to be alot of work involved, and my previous art was less than par, many were sceptical of my achievement. With the advice of my peers, I took a screenshot of the layers, and am intending to make an MOV of the actual image, ascending through layers.
I hope everyone enjoys it, as I greatly did making it, and I hope to concoct many more for your enjoyment in the future!
