thanks again…

Ok, please don’t sleep from now on, at least until the end of the challenge. You can coun’t on my vote, (not that you’ll be needing it) your style is immaculate and i think pixar really should get a copy of your portfolio, so just find out their address dude, cuz i think they’d be interested…

Hurry up! Forget jack daniels for a while and get hooked on your wacom…

yes? yessah.

your newest fan - Adam.

Amazing work duddle, hope you can live through it all over the next 24 hours :slight_smile:

i’m not gonna type much of anything this morning… too much to do… not enough sleep.

I tried uploading the next few images at 4:30am but couldn’t get an internet connection!!? So i gave up and went to bed for 4 hours. Now i’m wide awake… erm… um…?

0 days, 16 hours, 15 minutes, 12 seconds…!!! aaAArgggGGhhhh!!!

Here’s the chimp’s head in a more finished state…


#286

that obviously wasn’t the chimp!!!

But this is… promise…

i’m still trying to keep some nice loose strokes in the painting, but some areas need to be just that little bit tighter. I’m not convinced on my colour calibration (my monitor was new on wednesday morning) but i reckon it’s pretty close. Might go into work today and check it on my monitor there… time permitting…


#287

Adding detail to the gumpf on top of the orangutan…


#288

heheh maybe that´s just you,me, and few others but I think mokeys fits perfectly in this contest hehe keep up! the deadline is coming fast!!

cheers! :slight_smile:


#289

And some more…

Added the stars to the orangutan’s hat… i think he looks quite dapper!!

I really wanted him to look menacing… but in a comedy stylee!!


#290

adding little bits of engine detail, leads and sahding on the base layer… having ‘fun’ trying to define mechanical detail in a looose fashion!!!

not far to go until i start to paint the forground characters!! yippeee!!


#291

i think all the top stuff is done… time to paint the girl and the monkeys in the foreground…

will look at the whole thing and make some changes when i’m done painting the foreground caharcters.


#292

Started painting colours into the foreground… loads to do to them yet though.

The background is going to fairly loose. I want to give an impression of the bridges and the baboons without adding too much detail and detracting from the foreground…

I think i’m gonna get it all done…

:slight_smile:

#298

Lovely work johnny,

I know you havent really painted it up yet, but I would like to see the background a tad darker with more mood, just to help stand the characters out.

Just a thought…

Hope you get it done.

I like your progress Jonny. Especially the monochrome feel to it. The beginning when you only had the yellow parts of the orangutang coloured was one of my favourites :slight_smile:
Isn’t that cannon chimp getting lost in the cannon? A bit to much black maybe?
:wip: :wip: :wip:

No, I left Cosgrove a month or so ago. Now I am enjoying the rain and doing my own things until something new and interesting pops up.
