Consumption


I wanted to do some kind of illustration or painting last night, so i used a random word generator and it gave me the word "consumption". This is what i came up with for that.

I enjoy the painting and doodling aspects of this a lot so i neglect some aspects which would make it a better piece overall (such as working more on the character design, adding more elements, not using a computer), so maybe next time i'll be a bit more disciplined with that.

Oh and he's not meant to be Shrek! I wanted something pasty and a bit repulsive so i used a greenish skintone but forgot to make it less shrekky at the end (maybe i'll come back to it tomorrow or something).

mixed media


this is a closeup from a canvas i filled with random junk just to experiment, and it's yielded a lot of great textures for me to use.
i drew over bits in photoshop and chucked in a few other photos. I was going to add more collage elements but didn't.
