Purple Anomaly: Day 362

Purple Anomaly by Robert Chapman

What a strange time I had drawing this one! It took me about two hours before I actually started drawing on the blank page, as I had no idea where I wanted to begin. I actually ended up scrapping what I had two times before starting what you see here. Also, I originally thought that my color scheme was the only thing I knew I was going to use from the start, but what once was all various shades of blue, has now become purple. Though there’s still some blue bits, who knows how long they’ll stick around?

Star’s Offering: Day 359

Stars Offering by Robert Chapman

Hello! Today’s picture turned out pretty awesome, but really wacky. Although I’m finding new ways to use the layer styles, tools, and techniques in Photoshop more and more all the time, there’s quite a bit of experimentation when it comes to making a painting like this. I don’t necessarily start out with a set goal right from the start, but rather a few key elements that I want to try and hit. Today, I knew from the start that I wanted something colorful, and something a bit more physical than the one I made just the other dayContinue reading

Marble Captured: Day 357

Well, I guess I found out what to do with that planet I made yesterday, eh? I’m definitely getting a comic book feeling from this image, and I think it would fit right at home on the front of my No Man’s Sky inspired web comic thingamajig that I’ll be working on very soon. Maybe this is how Emily is forced to leave her planet in the beginning. Sent away by her parents, Superman style. From then on she has to fend for herself with just her ship and her Databot companion!

Blue Marble: Day 356

Marble by Robert Chapman

Here I am, drawing planets again. This time I spent a few hours doing very small individual details with the Photoshop mixer brush tool, and it certainly paid off. I think I need some larger details though. I find that real photos of planets tend to depict the planets in our solar system with huge sweeping storms and terrifying landscapes. Though the planet I drew today is meant to be alien in nature, so it could look like anything really, I still think it needs a huge landmark feature. I think doing an “eye” like our Jupiter’s is a little too obvious. What do you think? Let me know in the comments

That’s it from me today! I short but sweet post. It’s been a lazy day for me and so I haven’t got a whole lot to talk about right now. However, there’s just 9 more days remaining before my Year of Creative Habits is complete! Thanks for checking this out. Thumbs up to you! 😀
