BROKENEAGLE'S PAINTINGS - update 23rd Oct'23- a new sci-fi painting idea.

OK well I still have a little more to tell on this one , so excuse me just one more time.
I began with an oil painting and finished with a Digital Wacom Cintique.

I have been a manual art guy my whole life outside of my CAD Engineering exposure at work, so when I decided to go down this road about a month ago I jumped in the 'deep end' and started learning the digital art through the tablet.
I must say that I am blown away.
However it will not replace the brush and oils, it is certainly a marvel for ink sketching, concepts, technical illustration and finishing your detail work after the brushes have been put back in the holster.
I have a long way to go to master this twin art form finish but I admire the works of chuck who is obviously a master and is fully conversed with this digital field.
Here are some more shots that will show the jump from manual to finishing digitally and a couple more of the Cintique dwg tablet and a sci-fi concept sketch that is the kind of work I like to do to get my hand in.

I have also done a little more fiddly finishing work on the piece and changed the name.
I think it is done now.

Sci-Fi sketches
This will give you a bit more of a background as to where my art has originated(all those years ago) - not WW2 but that's where I'm headed now.

Any way back to the models for a while.
Thanks for your patience with my excitement on my new venture.

Nice to see you again Pete, even though your Avatar still weirds me out though... :rotf


Ian, all I can say is.... :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy
 
OK, just another brief update - seem to be doing more artwork at present rather than modelling, but that will have to change soon.
:laugh:
Finished off my first promo cover sheet which will double in the full size version[without the print) as an another art piece. :hmmm
Here's a small image.

Thanks Peter, Phantom and Chuck- sorry for the delayed reply. :dude

Hello all,
sorry I have been away for a while but I have been very busy doing prep stuff after my day job, for my self employment next year and also had to get my new computer's OS reinstalled; as well as everything else due to a corruption from a power outage.
I have a UPS now so that will no longer be a problem.
Anyway, I haven't done any model lately because I have been painting my first big picture as I showed you guys in an earlier post. I have finally finished my Me 109G-10 JG4 and have 2 different versions - a full landscape and a letterbox trim to suit the more technical art lovers.
It was painted to be shown in large format so it is not as exciting here as a small JPeg but I am happy with the result.
This is a small jpeg of my letterbox with the original starting point as a comparison - it came a long way.

Ian
