Inferno

Arrow Video are running a competition to win a load of goodies - to enter you have to produce a new DVD/Blu RAY cover for a film they have released or are scheduled to release. As a huge Dario Argento fan I couldn't resist creating a new image for his wonderful 1980 film "Inferno" (particularly as the image Arrow used on their official release was awful). Anyway, this is the painting I did for the cover and below is a mock cover design with the Arrow logo. Wish me luck!

Prints of the image are available from my Society6 store. Follow the link below and get free shipping on any prints from my store until June 16th.

Matilda Sketch

This is the drawing I will use as the base of my next painting, a portrait of Matilda of England, also known as Empress Matilda. It was drawn using the pencil tool in Artrage 4.

Richard III

Richard II,  Digital painting, Artrage, 2013.

A new portrait of Richard III, inspired by the recent finding of his remains and the facial reconstruction they made from his skull. I used the reconstruction as the starting point but also incorporated elements from the portraits of Richard to try and find his "face". 

Painted digitally in Artrage 4.

The Rose of Marie Antoinette

A portrait of the ill-fated Marie Antoinette, who was guillotined during the French Revolution. 

It was painted digitally using the airbrush tool in Artrage 4.

I used a reference photo by MizzD-Stock for the figure but I changed the facial features to look more like Marie Antoinette, though it is still a rather idealised and flattering portrait! I tried out several different backgrounds including a traditional-style landscape and a flat candy-stripe pink wallpaper, but decided to go for something somewhere in-between the two. Antoinette was painted holding roses several times so I wanted to continue the tradition but added some blood where the thorns have pricked her to symbolise her bloody and tragic death.
