In my last post I talked about a Commission I got to do some Fantasy images.<br />
<br />
that post > <a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2014/08/goblins-on-parade.html" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<br />
That Commission is finished and the finals for all 4 of those images are all on my online portfolio<br />
<br />
See those Goblins > <a href="http://brigliaportfolio.blogspot.com/2013/01/fantasy.html" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<br />
I was thinking that this project would be a good time to go into and share my artistic process with how I take an image from start to finish. There is no need to go into all four of the Goblin images so i'll just talk about one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2Pos695svin0h54-jBevb5H7zfJbrx9TwGAcydwEcmm4wSVG5dSsvUfb5Eueue3i5muOD_2EquKYtxzn0OOIilgPmxyu_saZ53Ukg3rQYGhLg8sDasjD6iOfATcQ9gQZT3hEm3idLvW9/s1600/goblin+builder+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2Pos695svin0h54-jBevb5H7zfJbrx9TwGAcydwEcmm4wSVG5dSsvUfb5Eueue3i5muOD_2EquKYtxzn0OOIilgPmxyu_saZ53Ukg3rQYGhLg8sDasjD6iOfATcQ9gQZT3hEm3idLvW9/s1600/goblin+builder+copy.jpg" height="400" width="313" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 1. ink</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Step 1. So after the image is sketched out and inked I scan and clean the image digitally, simple step clearing up smudges and pencil lines just want the ink to be bold and crisp.<br />
<div>
( the digital parts of this work is done in PhotoShop)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDsi6vgfxb4Vm6hDCgrTJzPV33w2yAFNLqQcMZdbq_4PTN2htKwUjyT_mUMp9QT39Vw80gmtjaiIJiSHI7oYeSSYWmRLi3FBaGqP7saP2gf0JIAVegCFyvYbl4xs6488Z6zWC9MqPaoe1f/s1600/goblin+builder+copy2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDsi6vgfxb4Vm6hDCgrTJzPV33w2yAFNLqQcMZdbq_4PTN2htKwUjyT_mUMp9QT39Vw80gmtjaiIJiSHI7oYeSSYWmRLi3FBaGqP7saP2gf0JIAVegCFyvYbl4xs6488Z6zWC9MqPaoe1f/s1600/goblin+builder+copy2.jpg" height="400" width="313" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 2. Base Color</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Step 2. this step is basically me turning my art into a coloring book, just filling in the lines. But the real important part of this step is that I start breaking areas of colors in the image into there own layers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJfhJXD10l-gC917PjNLRir_wG67eFvOgEFX6CSdv8H_W5MMCTistzlB2Ozq2S0J3S7Lqf1Z4qC1fWlI-ektbUucKqNm96GBb3PlzcCQP4OBUvEdgcJmt7yyVPNKcLEbCWCE9uIzwbCdv4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-09-01+at+9.02.00+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJfhJXD10l-gC917PjNLRir_wG67eFvOgEFX6CSdv8H_W5MMCTistzlB2Ozq2S0J3S7Lqf1Z4qC1fWlI-ektbUucKqNm96GBb3PlzcCQP4OBUvEdgcJmt7yyVPNKcLEbCWCE9uIzwbCdv4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-09-01+at+9.02.00+PM.png" height="640" width="147" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The layers at the end of the image</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Creating separate layers is a very helpful tool to have for making quick corrections without effecting other aspects of the whole image, but when working with so many layers its a good idea to ether group them into folders or to at less remember to name them, which sadly sometimes I forget and when trying to fine 1 small light to fix among 30 something layers can get frustrating, so remember doing a little extra work early can save you a lot of extra work later.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhczKS7CaRPhPstpb3vxiw4tKNuuIis18HpupsfNMfDDGrSjC-3zVs192m5Qd8HYGkYOCTqWptTkTIRACTibZ4Y4UeYoBIWlXhb5Fhh3LRm7seTciPzS1q5j9dK6UlwLTAbxd9X2lNOSTMK/s1600/goblin+builder+copy3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhczKS7CaRPhPstpb3vxiw4tKNuuIis18HpupsfNMfDDGrSjC-3zVs192m5Qd8HYGkYOCTqWptTkTIRACTibZ4Y4UeYoBIWlXhb5Fhh3LRm7seTciPzS1q5j9dK6UlwLTAbxd9X2lNOSTMK/s1600/goblin+builder+copy3.jpg" height="400" width="313" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 3. Light and Shadow </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Step 3. Then on separate layers i'll create a shadow and light layer to help give the whole image more sense of shape for each object and to push and pull different object back in the space of the image. I also want to keep the shade and light layers relatively sharp as to not loose or take away from any of my line work.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeVjs3DnF3Zj4SaOnPiY5os3E9TKFu73iPFQZvQ7MUoBcG9H5xQCrw7JxuMeqLVCH3n_wgLKQy7q5-D4EXL2_p3hqREP1PiV3E51JoHZy7cmwKTanzDwg2l9Se87XIqao04RKl8FJMf9RV/s1600/goblin+builder+copy4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeVjs3DnF3Zj4SaOnPiY5os3E9TKFu73iPFQZvQ7MUoBcG9H5xQCrw7JxuMeqLVCH3n_wgLKQy7q5-D4EXL2_p3hqREP1PiV3E51JoHZy7cmwKTanzDwg2l9Se87XIqao04RKl8FJMf9RV/s1600/goblin+builder+copy4.jpg" height="400" width="313" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 4. Splatters!!!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Step 4. This next step is still pretty new to me in fact this series is the first time I tried doing it, which is another reason I wanted to talk about it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgM7Igo6TS7a2vWJ12Im7tDl8udBrdxfdd5rLVN27NLWHYBnlvlJMLf36yRxim6MkZvVbiqn05iJgksAQAZSgcNBuQqzeylr7Kmic30S4_7KCaj9rs4Dt_wfLlDpgMEeuU_em2rTvfjKeH/s1600/IMG_0019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgM7Igo6TS7a2vWJ12Im7tDl8udBrdxfdd5rLVN27NLWHYBnlvlJMLf36yRxim6MkZvVbiqn05iJgksAQAZSgcNBuQqzeylr7Kmic30S4_7KCaj9rs4Dt_wfLlDpgMEeuU_em2rTvfjKeH/s1600/IMG_0019.jpg" height="400" width="290" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Random Ink splatter used for Goblin images</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
I did a whole series of semi random ink splatter to add a more striking and designed look to my Goblin images, and in some cases and sense of grittiness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDQHbSdIJckgEpWbdaWoYlYdx2Xo2dR35oRQsvBXUa_ZGZAjcU8_YHsqEY_PkC01HTakslG03zhXOdI_jX6VCaQCSmAWr5XxKEfwxNYx80opZdREfGXn45QiT9KC2SlfTIOiMmrTPko68_/s1600/goblin+builder+copy5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDQHbSdIJckgEpWbdaWoYlYdx2Xo2dR35oRQsvBXUa_ZGZAjcU8_YHsqEY_PkC01HTakslG03zhXOdI_jX6VCaQCSmAWr5XxKEfwxNYx80opZdREfGXn45QiT9KC2SlfTIOiMmrTPko68_/s1600/goblin+builder+copy5.jpg" height="400" width="313" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Step 5. Final</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Step 5. Lastly I finish off the image with final light and shadow layers that make up the mood of the environment, instead of focusing on the individual objects in the image I think of it as a whole. These layers can help me define a light source or just create a dynamic effect on the environment. Also can tint and unify the image as a whole.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That is usually my step by step process in making mostly all of my images.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you find this helpful!</div>

<span class="s1">A while ago i was commissioned to do a series of images. I was given a lot of freedom with this project, with the only guideline being that it had to be “Magic the Gathering” inspired.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I decided to focus on Goblins as a theme to tie them all together as a cohesive series with each piece being separated by the Goblins profession cause hey even a Goblins got to make a living.</span></div>

<br />
So its that time again, it's Halloween! A great holiday to embrace your inner monster and partake in some of the holidays best traditions, parties, candies, and making costumes to name a few.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
However we can't forget my favorite Halloween past time, yes that is right watching hour after hour, day after day of horror films throughout the entire month of October.<br />
At the time of writing this blog it is Halloween and sadly even though I would like to to be handing out candy with my lovely girlfriend, I will sadly be stuck and work. But luckily thanks to my girlfriend I have started a new Halloween tradition...<br />
<br />

<br />
Pumpkin carving, I can't believe that in all my years, loving Halloween and being an artist I never carved a pumpkin till about three three years ago. This year we decided to to both do skull pumpkins, hers being more of the "day of the dead" kind and mine more traditional.<br />

For a while now I've been working with this amazing company, Painting with a Twist, or PWAT for short! PWAT is a fun BYOB art studio where people come for a night of drinking and socializing with their friends or strangers all the while being walked through step by step by an instructor, and at the end of the night they get to leave with an amazing painting they made themselves. I've worked a few parties now and I got to say I love it. Its always a blast, it can be a bit worrisome trying to get people that don't know about panting to get into painting and still enjoying themselves but once they start slinging that paint and singing with the music, you know everything is going good.</div>

Teaching painting has always been a passion that I wanted to explore and this is a great introduction into teaching and a chance to learn how to give instructions and create a exciting atmosphere for everyone to learn in. Beyond teaching there are other great benefits that I personally get from working with PWAT. One is that I get to work with Acrylics, which i rarely do. Most importantly I feel is that it gets people who otherwise never have any real interest in art, actually talking and asking questions on it.<br />

In my last post I talked about a zombie image I made that was meant to be used for a T-shirt design. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span>Check out that post > <a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2013/09/zombies-roar.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></span><br />
<br />
Well that design is not the only image I made for a T-shirt design. Though not made for a job I did make a Yoshi shirt design image just as a fun project for myself. Now everyone knows Yoshi, but just in case you've never played a video game here is a brief description of what Yoshi is. Yoshi is the cute big eyed green dinosaur in the Mario game series.<br />

<br />
I remember being a young kid playing SNES and spending hours upon hours playing Super Mario World <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(which happens to be Yoshi's very first game appearance)</span></i> and man when ever I hit that block with the Yoshi egg my face would just light up. I knew when I hit that egg I was in for a fun time. Riding my Yoshi, running through the Mushroom Kingdom and eating up goomba's and koopa's, and spitting them out at enemies. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(<span style="font-size: x-small;">O</span>h and unlike a lot of others I would never sacrifice my Yoshi for that extra Jump boost, you know who you are)</span>. In short Yoshi is one of my very favorite power ups in video games, cause its not only a power up its also a partner and I think that's just the coolest.<br />
<br />
<br />
But one thing I didn't realize as a kid that Yoshi was an actual Dinosaur I mean look and him!!!<br />

Now that is a Dinosaur and I think a pretty cool T-shirt design. also a fun detail about the design is like the Yoshi and there many colors, the design is made so that whatever color shirt you pick is the color Yoshi that is hatched, pretty cool right?<br />

<br /> So that is my tribute to one of my favorite early childhood characters from some of my first experiences playing video games.Anthony Briglia - brigliaart@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11862625582255948200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535124035101603.post-80320477675254167572013-09-30T11:43:00.000-07:002013-09-30T11:43:33.446-07:00Zombies. Roar!<br />
Zombies are everywhere these day. Movies, TV, video games, comics, and books all have been swarmed by zombies and why not everyone loves zombies, and right when you think they are getting old and you've become sick of them someone comes up with a way to breath new life into them, and your hooked all over again. Hell one of my favorite "things" is the <i>Song of Ice and Fire</i> books and even it uses zombies as its main antagonist of the series in the form of the White Walkers. <span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (sorry just wanted to bring up Game of Thrones)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Zombies are also just amazing to see, its always fun looking at zombie make-ups and illustrations. so why talk about zombies, well a while back a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to do a T-shirt design with a undead theme so I jumped at the chance.</span><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> !! BACK AGAIN !!</span></span></b></div>
<br />
Man, it sure has been a long time since I posted, too long really. But I’ve been doodling in my little sketch book and tableting (?) on my little Wacom the whole time and can't wait to show works I’ve done and will do in the future.<br />
<br />
So what happened, where have I been? Sad truth is that things got hard and I had to focus more on getting a normal job, with more security then freelance was giving me at the time. But now I’ve gotten nice job and built up some savings, got an amazing part time job as an ART INSTRUCTOR <span style="font-size: x-small;">(don't worry I'll be talking all about it on my next entry, which will not take a year to post, promise)</span> and am ready to jump head first back into the art world.<br />
<br />
I’ve got a long list of things I’ve got to do and can't wait to go through them all, but I just wanted to really get back into the routine blogging of where I am and where I'm going. I find it’s a really big motivator for myself. It helps keep me, or any artist, on a schedule like trying to meet a deadline at the same time giving me an avenue to show my work. Most importantly I think it helps me look at myself to better understand who I am as an artist and challenge me to do more and be better. <br />
<br />
To get back into things I redesigned my old resume to send to any in house jobs or any freelance job that requires resumes, which are not that many but it’s always good to have.<br />

I am making new pieces for my portfolio, looking into ways to get myself out in the public eye more like promotional sites and conventions to attend, and I'm even working on one or two super-secret projects I hope to self-produce. I'm not really sure where I'm going to go I am just planning to throw as many hooks out there and see what fish will bite, well wish me luck and hope you look forward to keeping up with my blog in the future as much as I will writing it!<br /></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Well its December, and you all know what that means? Thats right, Christmas! Trees, gifts, snow, bright decorations, good dinners, egg nog, friends, families, holiday films, and christmas carols. There really isn't anything not to like about this holiday season, or is there</span><span style="color: #073763;">? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">Thats right some traditions aren't as classic or loved like fruit cake. The one not so treasured tradition that stands out the most to me is the "UGLY SWEATER". </span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My image of a "man?" in an ugly sweater</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"> </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Man I love the ugly sweater. I go out of my way to find them when I go to any store. I even get a kick out of all the ugly sweater contest you find on TV. In fact I saw a contest one on the news the other day, THE NEWS. Apparently bad clothing is important information. The reason I love this so much is the complete self awareness and embrace of how silly the holidays can get us. People donning this gay apparel are now just trying to out Ugly each other.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"> God the sweaters, its just all wrong the colors, the patterns or even how scenes, and some even play music or light up and even all of the above. Its just all wrong and in the best ways. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">Well anyway the point of this is just to celebrate not only the good of christmas but show how we can even embrace and love the really bad things that it brings out in us.</span><br />

<br />
A while back I watched a HORRIBLE special on mermaids. The "documentary" (and I use that word very loosely) tried to prove the existence of mermaids, it's about as silly as ancient aliens specials. The special was so offensive to anything scientific that I won't even show you a link to it or even give you its name.<br />
<br />
As bad of a special that was it did get me thinking about the history of Mermaids in different mythologies and in pop culture. It also got me interested in making a mermaid image of my own.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKE1epWf9cAN57-WCcZg3yTa9wEtbVW92OSc8yAGByo5WYmTIwSZt6bkvWDtFZPhoz18r8fjAwHqzQODbHAMKisPjfGd4dlJYLwSkp21mC0vhafu_IIulwePPioFPIcBKOpnc0IeNfljDq/s1600/Mermaid+treasure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKE1epWf9cAN57-WCcZg3yTa9wEtbVW92OSc8yAGByo5WYmTIwSZt6bkvWDtFZPhoz18r8fjAwHqzQODbHAMKisPjfGd4dlJYLwSkp21mC0vhafu_IIulwePPioFPIcBKOpnc0IeNfljDq/s640/Mermaid+treasure.jpg" width="469" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"The Mermaid's Treasure"</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div>
Mermaids themselves don't particularly interest me but making a mermaid image would be a nice chance to play around making an undersea landscape. The process of this image was pretty fun and it changed a lot from the original to finish.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0m4VS16UD5NtKaVuWMMbseZEtj-iVYMWGZN1-Q0N26UzJWWzLzJvv4IuAYyhQzgXdEiC5ODwRhrq6hudcw9LcFNDRWCtSHOyF5sknrPpkjVRgEQaKWguyaSOO44ZLAE3VYtKrfNOMh4Uv/s1600/IMG_0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0m4VS16UD5NtKaVuWMMbseZEtj-iVYMWGZN1-Q0N26UzJWWzLzJvv4IuAYyhQzgXdEiC5ODwRhrq6hudcw9LcFNDRWCtSHOyF5sknrPpkjVRgEQaKWguyaSOO44ZLAE3VYtKrfNOMh4Uv/s640/IMG_0004.jpg" width="464" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Segment from original ink work</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Shortly after finishing and scanning the original ink work a big glaring problem popped up, and if you looked at the finish you probably already see what it is. The face, the face was terrible, how did I not see it? It was an issue that needed to be fixed and lucky the fix was simple.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_qR4t3Mwytzg9M86vXIVpqZRCRoF_t4jq-J-K1wEJRWztxRiNCrXCzl-OSwt2lcgwXXvQ-IMBOeYNXfXsgPscOiJ9X4-LPAhrq1iViI2Rm6K6PLNRScQ3Pj1DODwh2fNGhHhNJZjOkZHY/s1600/Picture+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_qR4t3Mwytzg9M86vXIVpqZRCRoF_t4jq-J-K1wEJRWztxRiNCrXCzl-OSwt2lcgwXXvQ-IMBOeYNXfXsgPscOiJ9X4-LPAhrq1iViI2Rm6K6PLNRScQ3Pj1DODwh2fNGhHhNJZjOkZHY/s400/Picture+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">a quick before and after</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The fix ended up being very simple. Turned out I just over inked, or detailed, her face up. A simple use of the erase tool and poof 20 years younger.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I hoped you enjoyed hearing a little about the process of this image and it gives it a little more life.<br />
<br />
Until Next Time!<br />

If you are the type of person to spend a lot of time on the internet you know the term<br />
"Om Nom Nom." It brings images of cute little creatures adorably eating their num nums. Cute creatures kind of like these guys.<br />

<br />
There is just something about watching these sweet little fellows eating, but what if these darling creatures were the ones on the menu!?<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is an image I did a while back. It wasn't a big project at the time as I originally drew it up quickly with the idea of using it as a test piece for changing up line colors. Usually I keep the line work in my images constant; dark blues and blacks, so I thought it was time to change it up. Basically this was only used as a device for teaching myself how to separate the line work and in that I think I did a good job.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">my layers for this image</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
But afterward, manly cause of the color pallet, I wasn't very interested in going further with the image and it stayed that way for a while. I finally decided to give it a new coat of paint ( digital paint that is ) and post it up. So here it is the new finished product.</div>

So I missed blogging during October, but let us pretend I didn't and have a bit of Halloween in November. One of the reasons I haven't been keeping up with my blog during October was because I was so busy having a good time with my girlfriend carving pumpkins and helping her with a holiday party. I would love to talk about it more but she has already done such a great job talking about it on her own blog so go check them out on her blog.<br />

<br />
Moving on, I also wanted to talk about some of the art I've been making. Near the beginning of last month I posted an image I was working on of a monster stalking children for their candy <br />
"<a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-candy-monster-and-im-sorry.html" target="_blank">Click here to see that blog</a>". Well here is the finish to that image now.<br />
<br />

Don't worry though that wasn't the only piece I did during October, if it was that would be silly, so here are some of them now!</div>

<div>
I really liked making this one. The idea was that this gigantic creature is just playing with the moon like a yo-yo walking around the earth. Nothing special, just an idea I thought was really really cute. </div>

The last image for today was a small self portrait I did of me as a monster. It looks a lot like a werewolf but once I'm finished it should stand out more as a monster. </div>

Hope you all enjoyed your collective Halloweens and this blog. And don't worry I won't have any Thanksgiving themed post 'cause lets be honest, who really cause about Thanksgiving except for the food and being the best month to buy christmas gifts. </div>

Betty was born a little strange and so the other kids would often be pick on poor Betty. If only those kids knew the truth. Betty wasn't strange, she was <i>different</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Betty had telekinesis and when her powers manifested during her thirteenth birthday she used them to get her revenge and killed the kids who tormented her, and before anyone knew what happened she was gone, never to be seen again. </div>

Ever since then, during the month of Halloween there are reports of bizarre accidents. The only things these accidents have in common is that they all happen to the bullies in schools. So if you are a bully you better beware, especially during Halloween...</div>

Oh my god! It has been a really long time since I posted anything, and I'm sorry about that. I've been moving out of my old house for a while and haven't had all of my supplies to do my work. But you probably don't care to hear my excuses, so lets look at some art!<br />
<br />
So Halloween is right around the corner and I, for one, can't wait !!! In the future I hope to post images of my pumpkin carvings, but for now I've been working on this piece. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieD1UAk57F8mxY_DUlNQoH701LLj8yEhTyzd_pwCPNkWm_OVQtRFp0tzat62aTkBSUqJnd9yYEoVWVyUVvlxhxHUF3chEarvsBaJlPKMoIPDdghgncok-iDorvvudd4cQfnVU2qP50PviJ/s1600/candy+candy+candy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieD1UAk57F8mxY_DUlNQoH701LLj8yEhTyzd_pwCPNkWm_OVQtRFp0tzat62aTkBSUqJnd9yYEoVWVyUVvlxhxHUF3chEarvsBaJlPKMoIPDdghgncok-iDorvvudd4cQfnVU2qP50PviJ/s640/candy+candy+candy.jpg" width="548" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Candy Candy Candy </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
This is the crazy candy monster stalking his next meal. Don't worry it's not the children, even though the one is dressed like a ice pop, it's their sweet sweet candy. So this Halloween if you you're going trick or treating keep a close eye on your loot because the candy monster sure will! <br />
<br />
Those of you who follow my blog may know that I love drawing all sorts of creatures and monsters so its easy to get why I love Halloween. Expect more monsters coming this month!<br />
<br />
Untill Next Time !<br />

ADVENTURE TIME !!! <br />
Recently I finished a piece of art in honor of one of my new favorite shows:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adventure Time Logo</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There's no need to gush about the show. Simply put I thinks it's awesome. Finn and Jake's crazy, random adventures in the Land of Ooo are always so entertaining. If you've never watched the show I highly recommend it especially if you like random craziness and cute creatures kicking "butt".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But back to my original point; I was finishing up on a fan-art image to Adventure Time when Mia told me about a web contest. The contest is to create an Adventure Time image to put onto a t-shirt. The contest is being held on a site called <a href="http://www.welovefine.com/" target="_blank">WE LOVE FINE</a> and for the contest link "<a href="http://www.welovefine.com/contest/23-adventure-time-design-contest" target="_blank">click here</a>".<br />

<br />
I entitled it "Pouty Time" and it is along the same style as my <a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2012/06/grumpy-old-men.html" target="_blank">Gumpy Old Men</a> series, and the concept is pretty simple. "The adventures have to slow down some time, right?"<br />
<br />
<div>
I think it's ironic that I made the image knowing nothing about the contest. Talk about good timing! Even more ironic is awhile ago I posted a series that got pretty popular based on some famous Marvel Villains under the name <a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2012/06/grumpy-old-marvel-villains.html" target="_blank">Grumpy Old Marvel Villains</a>. At around the same time I'd produced those images Welovefine was having a marvel villain contest. Talk about bad timing! </div>

Hope you like the design and would like to own it. You can vote for it on the link below if you like it. Voting starts 9 /10 /12 so see you then. </div>

Thats right, Mia has traveled the suns and stars many times in her journey to discover the unknown and boldly go where nobody has gone before. While we sit and celebrate about the "Mars Rover" Mia was riding Anthonos on the surfaces of strange planets. While we where debating on wether or not to fund NASA's space programs Mia was fighting off lord Xenu for control of the planet.</div>

I love making little doodles in my sketchbook. Sometimes I sit for hours and just draw. It doesn't matter if it turns out good, bad or ugly; just to draw is enough. I recently drew a series of quick sketches in my mole skin based on some of my most beloved video game characters.<br />

<br /></div>
A while back I showed an image in a post called "Making a deal with a Demon". You can view that post here > <a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2012/07/making-deal-with-demon.html" target="_blank">Click here</a>.<br />
<br />
A lot went into that piece and I wanted to talk about the process that went into the final image.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTuT0lnSJ3XFfy9jtsYiaM2PVFYdCGCMoR_YnWhaR8vES4bzNYWHFxdaWz86zfDnU8UEdYTmlvZmAS9osmkX336KcyJFg7FOe-UuRAkOJ57iwmv0yXXo4FxCb28tZZXBfV8pMfiu8J5v7/s1600/IMG_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTuT0lnSJ3XFfy9jtsYiaM2PVFYdCGCMoR_YnWhaR8vES4bzNYWHFxdaWz86zfDnU8UEdYTmlvZmAS9osmkX336KcyJFg7FOe-UuRAkOJ57iwmv0yXXo4FxCb28tZZXBfV8pMfiu8J5v7/s400/IMG_0002.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Original sketch</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The original was drawn in my tiny mole skin sketch book that I use for drawing on the go. The idea was to make a lurking figure, crouched over and staring over its "victim." The creature was always meant to be a demon but instead of a the classic demon with two horns and a tail, I this one to exhibit how other cultures have shown demons, and devils through ritual masks. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiym_SAECPBObQuBEFz3SGr0yqryNujbYqPwlcCeWGJfs5-Hq_oDcRcZkeBpGNC-N-54UGCUJdQLciLg9gbfrBXy9GIItGACIgu6qbFG66xFmU0acF1w2FsL5hyphenhyphenvTjhhbXDgHpfPlr_2glN/s1600/IMG_0029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiym_SAECPBObQuBEFz3SGr0yqryNujbYqPwlcCeWGJfs5-Hq_oDcRcZkeBpGNC-N-54UGCUJdQLciLg9gbfrBXy9GIItGACIgu6qbFG66xFmU0acF1w2FsL5hyphenhyphenvTjhhbXDgHpfPlr_2glN/s400/IMG_0029.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Well Demon sketch sheet</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The Well Demon was the main element for me, if I could make it work then the rest of the image would come together around it. My first thought was to sketch out a demon mask without a connection to another culture but it started to look a little to bland and without much personality. So, I tried to mix elements of other tribal masks to create something unique and still familiar.<br />
<br />
For a while I considered a number of poses for the Well Demon,but in the end I liked the one I started out with. He is much more menacing crouched over his well and so the piece took on a haunted look. d<br />
<br />
At this point I had it all sketched out, the Demon, the setting and the composition. I knew I wanted to have a female figure as the person that came to make the deal with the demon. There was only a small issue...<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHfSIf1l4oKXFzKmP00NJZ2yeNVlRAajDICg1qhxBIhc38M7iX6w3XbzeNe8ql-8G2AposhQbw25vu15VQdiBqHEcrODzU_jOEZTCRqCnRYY6tYaF3h8UF5eLhRN3zbFb6I1wrS0Fqsyjk/s1600/IMG_0020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHfSIf1l4oKXFzKmP00NJZ2yeNVlRAajDICg1qhxBIhc38M7iX6w3XbzeNe8ql-8G2AposhQbw25vu15VQdiBqHEcrODzU_jOEZTCRqCnRYY6tYaF3h8UF5eLhRN3zbFb6I1wrS0Fqsyjk/s400/IMG_0020.jpg" width="306" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Early sketch of female figure, notice the difference in hair style.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I hate admitting this, but I have always had trobule drawing "attractive" female characters. My style tends to go more into cute or grotesque so unless I make the female overly cute I have always had issues in depicting female characters. This was a good chance to improve that skill. I wanted to go for a slightly older women, so you can infer why she would make such a dangerous deal, perhaps to get back a lost loved one. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A tree's life must be very boring. A tree can't move so it can't see new things or go to new places. A tree doesn't talk much and when it does it really doesn't have anything new to say. Yes, a tree's life isn't that exciting at all. So a tree must learn to find fun and excitement anywhere it can, and in the case if Tree Jerry, that fun came in the form of a baby bird. </div>

Jerry loved to take care of his little bird which he named "blue". Blue was left alone after her parents was forced to leave because of a storm. This left Jerry as Blue's adopted father of sorts. He would play with Blue day after day. If blue would to ever fall Jerry would catch him on his finger. Jerry loved Blue and after Blue grew up and left, Jerry would talk endlessly to all who would listen about his little friend. Years pasted by and the other trees grew tired of Tree Jerry's stories, and the boredom returned. Until the day an adult Blue bird came to Jerry to build her nest.<br />

Last week I went on vacation to Ocean City with my gal and some of her family. Because of this I neglected posting on my blog for over a week. It was an amazing time, walking on the board walk, eating junk food, playing in the arcades and winning some prizes for my special little lady, and going to the beach and swimming in the ocean for hours.<br />
<br />
Before I went on the trip I told my self I would do work everyday, but I was having so much fun I never really got the chance. However art is found in all forms and I do got a little something to show. <br />
One day while on the beach, the day I got sunburn, I decided that instead of spending all my time getting hit in the face with waves I would try my head at sand sculpting.<br />

I never really worked in sand, and at first I thought it would be impossible, but like every medium you just have to learn how it works. Sometimes you need to work around it and not try to force it to work around you. After a little I was getting the image I wanted from it and was working pretty fast. I was originally going to leave the image was just a head.... but the I was INSPIRED !<br />

While looking over my great creation I was told a story about ancient guardian statues created to ward off spirits and I thought I want to make one of my own. So I started on the great mermaid of the ocean that wards off sea spirits. The finished would come in at well over 10 feet long and about 6 feet wide.</div>

Because I don't work with any kind of stand, mostly because I don't have an kind of stand, it was easier to work on a flat surfaces and build on top of them. My Sculpey work is very much reminiscent of my "<a href="http://anthonybriglia.blogspot.com/2012/01/funny-face-friday-1.html" target="_blank">Exaggerated Portraits</a>" series.<br />

A bonus that comes with working in Sculpey is that I get to collaborate. All the paint work in both of the pieces were done my girlfriend, and fellow crafts worker Mia Rose Cammisa, check out her blog "<a href="http://tinyhandscrafts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tiny Hands Crafts</a>". Doing these collaborations were really fun and I look forward to more in the future.<br />
<br />
Until next time !<br />
