Master study - The Lady of Shalott

Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:03:54 PDT

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance
With glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse c 1888 | Digital master study by Isabella Morawetz

Photoshop CS6 + Wacom Intuos5

Time spent: approx. 20 hours

My absolute favourite painting of all time so I had to have a go. Many hours were put into this. My hand is dead, but I'm happy. Feedback is so appreciated!

Lost track of the length of time spent on this. I just like purple way too much. This was a means of venting between commission work haha.

Apologies for the lack of personal art lately - talk about swamped.

Really trying to improve on certain techniques with my digital art.
I'm completely under-practiced when it comes to using traditional paints so the ability to replicate oil and acrylics through Photoshop is something I'm keen to work on. All that pressure of slapping actual paint down when I can just ctrl-z my mistakes and alter 'medium' with the click of a button - just seems to make more sense for a lazy-ass like myself.
I've also come to terms with the fact that there is no rule to say that I can't over-sharpen my work. The extra noise and grittiness enhances the traditional look, I think.

And using the combination of traditional textures and digital 'softness' harmoniously is challenging but fun.

A bit more of a practice at painting in a softer, wispier style. I quite like it.

Dr. King Schultz

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:23:00 PST

"My name is Dr. King Schultz, and like yourself, Marshall, I am a servant of the court. The man lying dead in the dirt, who the good people of Daughtrey saw fit to elect as their sheriff, who went by the name of Bill Sharp, is actually a wanted outlaw by the name of Willard Peck, with a price on his head of 200 dollars.

Now, that's 200 dollars, dead or alive.

... I'm aware this is probably disconcerting news. But I'm willing to wager this man was elected sheriff sometime in the last 2 years. I know this because 3 years ago, he was rustling cattle from the B.C. Corrigan Cattle Company of Lubbock, Texas.

Now this is a warrant, made out by circuit court Judge Henry Allen Laudermilk of Austin Texas. You're encouraged to wire him. He'll back up who I am, and who your dear departed sheriff was.

In other words Marshall, you owe me 200 dollars."

Why dont you bounce my face off the floor. Then maybe youll recognize me.

Gemma Teller Morrow from Sons of Anarchy. I find it veeery difficult to dislike this woman.
Spent a couple of hours on this today as a break between commissions. Uploading the black and white version since I think it looks nicer than the coloured one.

Took a slightly different approach than usual when painting this. Softer lighting and miniscule (almost pointless) skin details; such a relaxing piece to do.

Painting in monochrome first before colour is way easier than colour straight away. I need to paint like this more often.
