Speed Painting 10: Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)



Well if you want to watch Game of Thrones but don't want it spoiled (tv show not books), look at my other videos instead. There is this character in the show, white hair, young, that wants to rule over Kingdoms. Oh yeah, she also has three fucking dragons with her as they goes after what she thinks is rightfully hers. I love strong, deep women characters in TV series rather than a pretty face, and Daenerys fits this criteria very well. I illustrated part of the scene at the end of season 1 with her when her dragons finally hatch from their eggs and come to life, and added a few things such as one flying and another breathing fire. This happens a bit later in season 2 and season 3, but I wanted to give a slightly different perspective. If you somehow read this and don't watch the show, watch it. Go watch it right now.

Speed Painting 9: Mario Caricature



I still remember when I was a little kid playing Mario on the SNES with my mom, certainly one of the most iconic video game characters around. It was just a matter of time before I drew him. I wanted to try a "cartoony" (is this a even a word?) style illustration. Make it very welcoming, very sweet, great bright colors saying this is a nice picture, and then show Mario about to a eat a mushroom with his mouth filled with saliva at the thought of eating the mushroom while the mushroom is crapping his pants (doesn't have pants) at the thought, thus the massive amount of sweat. (unnecessary run-on sentence to display message vs illustration feel).

There is some animation at the end of the video for those interested, enjoy! ;)

Speed Painting 8: Coldplay



So as I said in my previous post, I will updating a few speed painting videos and my next one includes Coldplay. I wanted to try a slightly different style, illustrate them in black and add hues of blue, purple and yellow. Every few illustrations, I try something different to see whether I will fail or expand my illustration abilities a bit further rather than not developing. I think it's important to get out of your comfort zone as an illustrator! Anyways, I'm done rambling, enjoy the video.

Speed Painting 7: Felix Baumgartner



I will be updating a few of the speed paintings I've done the past few months. Felix Baumgartner, the man with the biggest balls on Earth and set the record for skydiving an estimated 39 kilometers. If that's not enough, he landed on his feet while at some point falling around the speed of 1357km/hr... I tried my best at doing this illustration as realistically as possible, so I hope the people that view it do enjoy it!
