Time Lapse Video: A Sharpened Heart
February 28, 2008 by mercuralis
New video time lapse:
I went about this one a little differently than I normally do. My usual technique involves a loose sketch and then painting on top of it in color. This time I started in black and white, rendering the image to about 90% finished that way, before adding the color on top at the end to finish it up. I’ve noticed that a lot of digital painters work this way, but I don’t usually like the results when I do it. For this, however, it worked, giving her a distinctly dark, creepy feel that offsets the brilliant red of her costume.
Her costume, by the way, is based loosely on a costume I designed for a play version of Alice in Wonderland back in high school.

Outstanding! I really wish I had one drop of your talent. That could be a painting, oh wait, I don’t have the skills.
