Lady gothic vampire with pet during apocalypse - WIP stages

Lady gothic vampire with pet during apocalypse - WIP stages

M P Davey monster pet with lady vampire illustration
WIP stages of the horror illustration
This dark fantasy vampire illustration was created during early spring 2020. It is digitally painted using 'SketchBook Pro' running on a Samsung tablet. This enables me to sketch out ideas quickly at a fairly low definition and work up a concept sketch. The first image shows the drawing as done on the tablet followed by the same drawing worked up in colour, again on the tablet. Once I am happy with the way it is progressing the file, which is stored as a 'layered' PSD file is then exported in to a W10 desktop computer running the same programme ( with extra functionality on the PC). The file size pixel dimensions are enlarged to 6000 x 4500px to provide a sharp illustration for output, if printed and in any case a detail picture will be the result, unlike if the image was kept at the original tablet image specifications. The final image shows the finished illustration, where the rough image has been repainted with finer details. Also it can be noted that more things have been added in to the composition, as in more creatures for example.
This image can be seen in greater detail on this external site.

oil painting of a grouping of trees in the New Forest
This outdoor forest was painted during June 2019. It depicts a view within the New Forest, which is set in the county of Hampshire, of the south coast of the UK. It is a hot day but the densely packed trees offer shade from the hot summers day.
This landscape painting is created in oils on mounting board, sized at 20” x 16”, and can be examined in greater detail on this link.
