Adventure Time: Marceline - pt. 2

The Marceline piece is finally finished. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I'll post it here and see what people think.

I'd also like to give some long overdue praise to Marcus Ranum. I don't always have the time to stage my own photo shoots and Mr. Ranum's gorgeous stock photography has been an invaluable resource to me.

Adventure Time: Marceline - pt. 1

After running into some extremely frustrating technical difficulties, I've decided to put the Cloud Atlas image aside for a little while. Until I resume working on it, (or can get started on any of the paid assignments that are sitting in my own personal queue) I'm going to devote my time to putting out a long-overdue Adventure Time themed image!

Marceline the vampire queen is one of my favorite characters from that show. Rather than feasting on blood like traditional vampires do, she eats shades of red- hence the strawberries.

Color Study

Planning out the image was more frustrating than I'd been expecting, but I feel like I've finally worked out enough of the kinks to take it to final. As of right now, the plan is to complete this image in watercolors with only a little bit of colored pencil detail work.

I've been in a bit of a creative rut recently and I'm hoping that this image will finally get me out of it.
So far, so good!
