Concept

General perspective

Some quick rendering in photoshop and ready for printing and transferring onto paper.

I kept the background separate to always be able to check the perspective.

Working on the pencil underdrawing

Finished pencils. I do them pretty detailed as it sill counts as pencil drawing practice to me, even if it ends up being painted over completely.

Underpainting

A color study after the underpainting and before jumping into colour.

My setup :) It's really basic, I painted it almost entirely with Zorn palette,...

Zasadzka na nadbużańskich moczarach/Ambushed in the mire by Sebastian Szmyd

Stary woj Jegiel, rusałka Wilżanka i pogodowy skrzat Płanetniczek w tarapatach na nadbużańskich mokradłach.
Jegiel, an old warrior, Wilżanka, a nymph, and a small weather spirit Płanetniczek drawn into the mire of the Bug river.

Gouache on paper, A3 format.

The Zorza world is slowly taking a more tangible shape The main characters so far are:
- Wilżanka (her name means, more or less, "daughter of the oriole"), a river spirit/nymph (well, a rusalka);
- Jegiel, an old, one-armed warrior and also partially a spruce tree;
- Płanetniczek, a small weather spirit, under whose hat it never stops raining.

More is coming soon

Awkward Crew by Michael Black

Hello.
I am happy to introduce you to some of the unaccepted characters I designed while working on a cartoon style sci-fi project a couple of years ago.
I would hate for this work to get lost on my hard drive. I hope you enjoy it.
