Furry Cosplay

     Admittedly I know nothing about the furry community. In fact my only experience of it is from a CSI episode I saw many years ago, which probably didn't present an accurate view of the community at all. But its the costume I'm interested in here. another one of my graphite and gesso pieces that seemed to work out well enough.

The Stig Cosplay

     A painting of a cosplayer dressed as The Stig from Topgear. This is the first in a series of pictures of cosplayers I will be doing. Bad timing though as now it seems Topgear is no more. I started with this one though as its largely white and I wanted to practice painting with that colour. Normally the whites in my paintings are quite ethereal so I wanted to use it in a more solid way. I like using it in an ethereal way though as it lets the lower layers come through and creates some interesting effects.

     So this is me in colour. Nothing too complicated, just a head shot to help me build confidence in painting a portrait. I'm happy with my change of focus from buildings to figures but I wish I had done so sooner. Never mind though as at the time of writing this I have finished another portrait and have started a third which is more complex as it is set within a scene. So look out for those in the coming weeks.

     It's been a long time since I made a monotone painting. I used to do them as quick practice pieces but have not done so for a while. So I thought it was time to make one and I had the perfect subject in mind. Painting this reminded me how much more I love colour.

By The River

Acrylic On Canvas
18 x 15.4"

     A picture of my father by a river. I rarely paint people and if I do its just for practice and to make sure I still can. I thought I might try to paint more people and perhaps put them into my scenes if it feels appropriate. One reason I don't paint more people is I don't have access to any models right now and buildings don't charge to pose for you.
     So consider this a rarity for now. Hopefully though it helps to show you I'm a versatile artist that if given the opportunity can turn my technique to any subject.
