A year of Dreamlords News

So I have this habit of trying to make a new pic for every news I post on the Dreamlords page. Tried to collect them, together with some new pics I made for the upcoming Resurrection.

To be fair, the collage with big pics features 6 pics made by skilled artist Björn Hurri, I just colored them. They are the 3 first on second and third row.

Mirror Girl

Tried to do something difficult, a girl standing next to a mirror created just enough hell for me. Took awhile and still didn't really match her mirror image too good. Very fun to do though, it should be challenging to learn something I guess. Included some Wip's (work in progress) below, as well as a 100% zoom, to show how big the image is while I'm working on it.

It is hard to find good reference like this strange pose, and with a mirror to boot! Most models have the same repertoire of poses, so most look pretty boring. Oh well. Maybe it's time do draw some men instead.

More paintings of girls!

More girls, Kind of boring lighting on these photo references (the bathing suit), so it became a challenge to get proper feeling of depth, plus that a wet swimsuit is a pain to try to paint.

Still some fun blue ambience in around her I could use, to give a little "cool" feeling.

I make these in Photoshop, using a resolution of about 3000x4000 or so pixels, using one homemade brush and a Wacom. Having a dual-screen setup makes it much more easy to use photo reference.

[edit] added another, had trouble because I made the bg with similar colors as the model they kind of blended together. Gonna do 1 more from that enviroment, and make the background better.

[edit2] same girl, little different lighting to separate subject and background (window and pipes) Maaaybe a bit too big head.

[edit3] added two images with red/blue lighting, very hard to do red, since it first just looked like she was washed with blood. Not very natural lighting, still fun to try and mimic.

Painting some ladies!

After seeing the awesome picture that Jonas made, I felt I wanted to paint some women in sexy/strange poses, and with some interesting lighting. Regular nude-models that pose for artists are seldom shot in exciting lightning, so I had to find some interesting nude art instead, as porn seldom gives any interesting imagery at all.

Since the photos came from googling, there was some clothing as well, pretty tough to make wrinkles in dresses to look good.

Great fun, and hopefully I´ll learn a thing or two about corsets, I mean lighting! :-)
And thx for the inspirational pic, Jonas!
