Painting the Chest and Arms

The chest is always a little tricky, is a wide open surface so a treat it separately, the I move to the shoulders and the arms, I leave the hands for last (not my favorites) 

Highlights!

One of my favorite stages, since I knew this piece would have a dark, moody background, I tried to make the skin very shiny and luminous. 

Painting Mr. Wayne (The neck)

Here's when knowing a little anatomy comes handy, I separate the body by muscle groups, it helps to avoid a lot of blending in the future.

Painting Mr. Wayne (the face)

I have to be honest, this was the 2nd coloring attempt, the first one had so many issues that I had to start all over again, So I went very slowly, shading one part at the time... Things I've learned: most of the structure of Christian's face is on the superior part, those cheekbones are holding everything up, the nose is very angular but rounded at the tip and his eyes are too beautiful 😜🤣

Figurine no. 014

Illustration of David Lurs as photographed by Stas Vokman. A little too detailed for a figurine, but it was a delight to color him.

Yet again this feels like an undressable paper doll 🤣🤣🤣

Mr. Wayne NSFW

Can you imagine the smell of those Bat-Muscles and Bat-Crevasses after a long night of fighting crime (sorry, too much?)

In total, it took me around 2 months to finish this illustration, so the next one is gonna be a little less elaborated  😜🤣

Mr. Wayne (shirtless)

Of course I'm known for materializing fantasies, this will not be an exception. This body, although is idealized, is not that far away from Christian's physique in the Dark Knight trilogy 🖤🖤🖤🦇

Mr. Wayne

Now here are some personal details, I love the way Christian Bale smiles like kinda shy, and unenthusiastic lol. I also prefer him with a little stubble, and I totally love his wavy, dark hair... Also, in my opinion, he's the one that looks better in the Bat-suit.

Batman (fan art)

This is officially the first Batman illustration that I've ever posted, ever. Which is funny cause Batman is my favorite superhero, ever. I guess I avoid the subjects that I truly love, to prevent the frustration and disappointment of not getting it right...

Are you a resolution kinda person? I am, and this year my resolution is to be more honest and personal with my Art, I've been feeling that my work looks a little stiff and impersonal lately, so I want to inject more personality and ...

Mr. Wayne

January was packed with art, I wanted to start 2020 with the right attitude, but February is my 1st Anniversary on Patreon! As a special Thank you for your love and support, I prepared one of the most ambitious portraits I've ever made... Hope you like it 😊🖤🖤🖤🦇🦇

Figurine 013 Alt (Hairless) NSFW

The body hair adds so much detail, without it it looks more painterly.

MAN SHOULD BE BRAVE!

Did I ever showed you this? I was cleaning a hard drive and I found this old illustration.

Way before the fuhrerdoodles I used to make this self-portrait cartoons, tackling my own insecurities and fears... this one is about being brave, I grew up in a very "Macho coded" environment, and any sign of fear was severely suppressed. As an adult I learned to overcome my fears with honesty and humor, and now I firmly believe that fear is not the enemy to defeat, but shame.

Feeling shame ...

Mr. Wayne (Preview)

This one was very difficult... just when you think you got things figured out, a challenge comes in the form of a beautiful billionaire that fights crime 😜🖤

Prince Adam Background

The Background is kinda simple but very effective, and because is so tight and narrow, it frames the body of the subject and looks more "busy" than it actually is, again, I love this color palette, the blue to yellow gradient is one of my faves.

Prince Adam of Eternia PSD (Throwback Doodle)

Back in the day my Photoshop files were a little different, I had to merge some layers to make the file under 200 MB, but overall is the same presentation, and you can really see how obsessive I can be with some almost unnoticeable adjustment layers.

Prince Adam (progress shots)

I didn't really saved a lot of progress shots of this one, back in the day I was working two jobs and using different computers trough out the day, so I kept the amount of files to a minimum, But here you can see how important are the textures on the Armour, and the big difference the highlights made on the skin. 

Prince Adam of Eternia (Throwback Doodle)

I made this illustration in 2017... as always I was experimenting, I got inspired by one of those super expensive collectibles by Sideshow (photos of it), I love this color palette and the background stills one of my all time favorites, I think I'm going to use that structure again.

I imagined that if there was a painting of Prince Adam hanging in the walls of Grayskull it would look something like this... although he would provably be wearing the pink shirt and tights as Prince Adam lo...

Brody Baywatch commission (hairless Alt) NSFW

I planned the coloring including the shading for the bodyhair, so it looks like he's extra tanned, still pretty hot. 

Captain America Commission (hairless Alt) NSFW

His dick looks prettier without the bush lol... For all the Captain America fans, I'm currently working on a Patreon exclusive illustration, no commission, it will be finished in a couple of months 😜

Captain America Commission (Hairless Alt)

The original request was to give him some bodyhair, but I kinda love him smooth 😉

Paddy (hairless Alt)

I made his body hair very subtle, but the smooth version is definitely my favorite.

Particle Splatter Photoshop Brush Set.

This very cool, texture set, includes some subtle but very effective brushes, and some others not so subtle, I call it the particle splatter, you can see defined particles, like splatting paint on paper with a tooth brush. I've gather them over the years, and now I'm passing them to you, use them wisely.

With and without lines

I saved this progress shot of a stage that I really like, before adding the finest details,  I turn off the lines layer and it looks like an oil painting.

Muscle separation.

When I'm working on a wide skin surface, I like to separate it in smaller, easier to handle groups, the trick to avoid visible divisions, is to follow the muscle groups, it also helps to get a better understanding of the subjects anatomy.

Coloring Paddy's neck

Because of the angle, is a very quick neck, a very useful trick is to add a lot of texture under the chin to simulate stubble and make a fast transition from the medium shades to the darkest, without too much blending.

Coloring Paddy (Face Progress)

For this portrait I spent more time on the dark areas, the lighter ones went kinda fast. Even when I used several references I ended up changing the color palette to fit the art-nouveau style, sometimes if you just copy the photos the end result looks gray-ish and dull, some things only look good in photos, for paintings or illustrations you have to make it more vibrant.

Paddy Background (vector)

This was a very intricate outline, geometric and organic at the same time, and now I've vectorized it so take a look!

Figurine no. 013 (Lines)

I don't even know if that's how you hold a violin 😜
