From Bad to Worse

Share

As my next piece, I've returned to Titus. I won't lie, I almost scrapped this pic TWICE, having trouble with direction and purpose. I realized how important it is to convey WHO my characters are rather than WHAT they are. What you're seeing is my 3rd rendition of the pic, seeing how Titus can even get emotional. Despite him being a Captain, a great soldier, and essentially an all around badass....he's still a big softie.

This scene portrays Titus coming into a mountain village that has been burned and absolutely massacred. I intentionally left dead bodies out and only did blood to give the viewer their own imagination of what he's seeing. Making him tear up was a last minute decision I made. Yes, I went there. :P

I also have a speed paint video with this, but unfortunately my PC crashed during part of it, so there's a chunk missing (marked in video).

Anyway, enjoy!

Not bad. Coming along nicely. Might go for some more images of different war scenarios to progressively develop the mind set that is Titus, but this is just me.
Later

Thanks. I definitely want to flesh out more over time to show more who the characters are, but that's what it takes...time! :D I'm excited about my next piece though. It's a definite change of tone. >:3
