Steampunk military mobile field gun - WIP stages

Digitally painted in May 2021 this illustration provides a humorous look at a fantastical military machine from 1901, and shows Field marshmallow general P.T. Gallows standing on it.
The photo above shows four stages of the creation of the illustration. In the first panel can be seen a rough, low definition sketch done in Auto sketchbook pro running on a Samsung android tablet with the upper right panel showing this roughly painted in, again on the tablet. The lines help to work out the perspective in the scene. The 3^rd, bottom left panel show work has now progressed to a larger file, again running the same software but this time on a desktop machine which provides far more power than a tablet could offer. The low definition sketch is now redrawn with greater detail. In the final panel, bottom right, can be seen the final illustration.

Stages of steam punk Cherub artwork

This illustration was completed in July 2018, and features two steam punk inspired Cherubs, based on classical renaissance design. It is digitally painted using 'Auto Sketchbook pro' software through out, with some Photoshop work at the end for colour grading purposes. The first panel shows the rough drawn as done on a 'galaxy' android tablet. depicted in the second panel is the same document with painted elements added to try out colours and forms. These are still roughly done at this stage. Lastly the third panel show by comparison the final artwork. It should be noted that the original document as seen in panel 2 is enlarged by a factor of 6 and then repainted with refined details etc, so as to produce a good quality print.
The final image can be seen here in greater detail.

This digital painting features a scene involving a giant 'steam punk' styled crab during a dull late afternoon leaving the sea at some remote coastal location.

Painting of the fantasy/ scifi scene was done digitally within 'Auto Sketchbook Pro', during mid February 2017, with some final elements, and the colour regraded, in Photoshop.

Monster Train attacking Cowboys

Monster Train attacking Cowboys

A big, black steam train has transformed in to a monster. Some cowboys have come across it and the monster is angry. Its pistons have turned in to pincers and the firebox has teeth and claws to eat its victims with. Large clouds of dirty smoke are pumping out from the hot and aggressive metal creature, its lamp transformed in to an eye. The cowboys are trying their best at controlling it but the horse is very frightened.

Digital illustration painted in photoshop to A3 size during February 2014.
