On the Digital Easel: Parade Progress

I've been working on this image on and off for the last few months. I've been so slammed with work that I've not been able to give this piece much attention. Normally I wouldn't post something that's so half-baked, but its progress has just been dragging on and on, and I haven't posted anything on here in forever.


At this rate, between concepting environmental objects on a sweet upcoming video game (none of which I'll be able to share for a while) and painting up an illustration job here and there, I'll probably end up posting the final around Christmas time. I've got another smaller personal piece in the works that I will probably end up posting way sooner than that, though. At least I hope so. Til' next time, friends!

Yeah, but what you DO have done here is radical. The floats and the background buildings are mesmerizing.

Ray - yeah, I think for a lower resolution I can see how it might be getting closer to done, but I really wanna make this poster-size resolution. We'll see!

Nice piece man!! Love the color pallet. There is one thing, if I may suggest. The girl's right foot is kind of cut off, what if you take away a little of the column and add a little bit of her foot. Its such a suggestion. Love the new work man!

Cheers,

Oliver

Good call Oliver, I think i'll have to push the shapes around a tiny bit to show where the ankle begins to spread into the foot. Thanks man!

Mclean, Looks like you're living the dream over there! It's always inspiring to see the scale on which you're painting.

Your work is kicking ass, McLean! Especially liking the recent pencil portraits. Badass.
