The Supplicant - now with paint!

[Patrick Keith]

Here are some sketches I did as the basis for an experiment in oil painting.

Composition sketch:

Value study in Photoshop:

The individual character drawings:

I've already printed the value painting and attached it to masonite to begin painting but I'd still like any feedback or crits from anyone.

Oh man, am I impressed. Excellent work Patrick!

 

[Kathaer]

Absolutely FANTASTIC! .. GREAT JOB!

This is really excellent.

My one suggestion would be to give the Marilith a sharper, harsher countenance. She looks a bit "Barbie" in the facial features - she's too cute. A more brutal beauty would be more appropriate.

Having said that, I really do love the composition.

Awesome art.

 

[Soel]

Great work! Can't wait to see color versions!

 

[Patrick Keith]

Thanks everybody!

I'm still working out the settings on my new camera but here are a few shots with the background blocked in.

I mixed up diox purple, burnt umber, ultra blue, cad yellow deep and light and a little white to create the range of values from dark to light and blocked those in fading them into the area around the hanging lamp.

I will try to get some better shots on the next batch. On to the critter!

Here's the latest update. There was a little glare coming in from the window on the left side of the picture so it seems a little lighter there in the photo. I also blocked in a few colors on the mistress figure to see what that might look like.
