The Ninja of Vehemence- THE DEADFLEASHCULT - Textured speed paint.

I really wanted to make a super group of characters with the idea behind it taking Japanese style prints of actors. My love for things that tend to rot and a new way of attacking the digital painting side of things. I use a technique I adopted from learning 3D animation and "texturing" my concept. This makes the skin appear more legitimate and overall. More rotten. Here is my second character The Ninja of Vehemence.

The Puppet Sorcerer - THE DEADFLESH CULT - Speed paint

My love for things that tend to rot and a new way of attacking the digital painting side of things. I use a technique I adopted from learning 3D animation and "texturing" my concept.

1) Main texture 



2) Decide on a colour palate 

3) Basic colour added texture and minor light source / shadow
4) Match colours to suit using hue and saturation
5) Work on minor details
6) Add more shadows and detail to add depth.
7) Slight adjustments with the colour / hue.
