Retrieval of the lost data…

Currently working on a commission caricature piece for PC Academy titled ‘Retrieval Of The Lost Data’ (a spin on Raiders of the Lost Ark’) to be used as a desktop wallpaper for Windows 7, featuring Neil as Indiana Jones running out of the cave, behind him a large boulder is hurtling towards him and also being chased by Tony carrying a spear and a couple of tribesmen blowing darts at him. Here is the rough design…

New artwork available – SNOW LEOPARD

Here’s a painting i’m working on at the moment, a snow leopard. Background colour is finished and just started blocking in the burnt umber and lighter browns of the fur. After that all the lighter blues and browns will be added to add volume and finally the whites.

Here i’ve got much of the face done, slowly working down from the face to the bottom left adding most of the whites and lighter colours aswell as detail in the eyes and mouth, all the finer detail like whiskers and bright white highlights are added at the end.

The face is now completed and now working my way down the body hair with a light brown/white slightly darker than the face area so that the face will stand out.

And once the body hair is completed i go over the hair again highlighting various areas and then finally the whiskers and really bright white parts of the painting are added. Here is the finished artwork available at http://www.garytymon.com

Winter Wonderland!

So that was christmas, finally its over. I think i ate about a weeks worth of food on christmas day, lots of chocolates, mince pies, baileys, not to mention the huge christmas dinner, christmas pud, and turkey sandwiches afterwards. I then spent boxing day regretting it but was forced to go out and have another huge meal, pudding etc later followed by a booze up. The next day was spent mostly on the toilet (abit like the exorcist but coming out the other hole). Anyway, it was a great christmas, new year’s eve (can’t remember…. too much guiness), 4 days of recovery and this morning woke up to find lots of snow everywhere… so i’ve been marrooned in the house all day, weather forcast says even more snow is due tomorrow. Great!!!!! Did i say i hoped it was going to be a white christmas…… i’ve changed my mind now!! ANyway, hope you all had a great christmas and new year….back to work now!
