series as a kid. I mean they’ve got knights, wizards, bards riding
giant cats, undead warriors, other magical things - what’s not to like?
They’ve always seem a little under the radar, except for the Disney
movie (which I’ve never seen). So I figured what the hey, I’ll do some
Prydain pictures . Here’s the first, from the <em>Book of Three</em>, with wise ole Dallben putting some serious learning on Assistant Pig-Keeper Taran.<br />

<br />
And here's some process. First, some thumbnails. I knew going in I wanted a big shaft of light coming into the study and a soft dusty atmosphere. From there I played around with some different set ups. These are just a few of those.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ_2JKvAZsxFboHH6ZcRC1m6WUZ4FaX29O0VRcOnpnmBhny0d1sRfE1aOa5_2_zSKiHthGyGmHtrT9W1f78K23wPJ8aU5sjJcnK5epUizDsZcgEg0dhDgLyerRY6MXhQcGHgA8pQsCeUNF/s1600/Bof3+Thumbs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ_2JKvAZsxFboHH6ZcRC1m6WUZ4FaX29O0VRcOnpnmBhny0d1sRfE1aOa5_2_zSKiHthGyGmHtrT9W1f78K23wPJ8aU5sjJcnK5epUizDsZcgEg0dhDgLyerRY6MXhQcGHgA8pQsCeUNF/s400/Bof3+Thumbs.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I went with that first thumbnail. Here I worked out and tightened up the composition. The arrows on that second one were making sure things were leading the eye to the points of interest (Dallben and Taran) and not out of the picture. Also, the image started flipped the other way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's the final drawing. I flipped the drawing back and forth as I was working, but I settled on this direction. Having the window and light coming from the left helps lead the eye into the picture. Hopefully.<br />
<br />

<br />
After that a quick value study to get an idea of the lights and darks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And then some color studies. More or less went with that last one, though it did change a bit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And then BAM! Finished picture. Just kidding. Lots of work and adjustments, but that's the gist of it. More of these to come!<br />

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm working on several projects and can't share anything at the moment. But lots of cool stuff coming down the pipeline.<br />
In the meantime, here's an picture of a weary traveller.<br />
<br />

And some process for fun.<br />
Here's the original thumbnail sketch I chose. There were more, but I didn't scan them.<br />

<br />
Normally I'd do some color studies, but I actually had an idea of the color palette I wanted to use going in, so I just dove right in.<br />
Here's a screenshot from the painting process.<br />

Sorry for disappearing for a bit there. Things have been a bit busy around these parts. I have a couple of different client projects I'm working on. Also, I got married! <br />
Now I'm back and making some art, so lots of stuff to come.<br />
Here I am with my lovely wife on a dinosaur. Of course!<br />

This is a nod to the old days I never saw. The stadium is mostly based on the old Polo Grounds, but there's a bit of Ebbet's Field in there too. The player isn't anyone specific - the 57 on his uniform is for the last year the Giants played in New York before moving to San Francisco.<br />

I got over excited and jumped right in. Bad idea!! That layout just wasn't that great. And I was in denial until I was pretty far along. But I had to face the truth - the composition just wasn't working. Bummer.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

So I tossed it. Well, first I drew over it and worked out a new composition. Ah, better. Then I threw it out.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Are you guys digging these longer blog posts? I figured the <a href="http://timprobert.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> is great for putting up images, and this blog can have more in depth, hopefully informative, posts. And occasionally feature David Bowie references. So there you go.<br />
<br />
Cheers guys!<br />

One was in the NY Times about carbon dioxide levels reaching dangerously high levels and the other was about a company trying to start a colony on Mars. So I did an illustration of a woman walking through a post apocalyptic landscape with a bag of fruit. Upbeat stuff, right?<br />

Here are thumbnails and sketches from the early stages. I started with the idea of her having an umbrella and the rain being acid or poisonous. I ended up dropping that for normal rain and a fruit sack.<br />

My original thought was to go with an intense yellow background. Here was a quick study.<br />
<br />
<br />

The rough layout was done in Carmine Red Prismacolor pencil and the final drawing in 2B pencil right on top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really wasn't digging the background, so I drew another and composited it in.<br />

I worked on the yellow version for a while, but it just wasn't clicking. So I let go of my yellow obsession and I think the blue works much better. But, I couldn't resist the allure of yellow and did a new yellow version this morning. It's pretty fun.<br />
<br />

The sense of speed is actually kind of soothing as you fluidly fly through the maze-like levels. So much fun.<br />
When I got to coloring on this one, I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with a more muted, limited palette or something closer to the actual game. I ended up working on both simultaneously, figuring I'd eventually like one better. But I still like both. So there you go.<br />
<br />Here's the more muted one.<br />

Fun Fact - I drew this guy a really stupid head in the final drawing. He looked like a ten year old. So I drew him a new one, and with a little Photoshop surgery, problem solved! I gave him a new arm while I was at it.<br />

In other news, I recently did a fun little Q&A with the wonderful people over at <a href="http://sixpoint.com/" target="_blank">Sixpoint Brewery</a> about my piece for their Beer is Culture competition and art in general. You can read it <a href="http://sixpoint.com/blog/recent/meet-the-artist-tim-probert/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
And you can still vote on on the piece by 'liking' the image on Facebook <a href="http://tinyurl.com/cospxmg" target="_blank">here</a>. Voting ends on May 7. Every vote counts!<br />
<br />
That's all I got for now.

I've set up a new online store at Society6. There are some pieces up now, all available as prints in multiple sizes. A couple are also available as iPhone cases and laptop skins. You can check it out here - <a href="http://society6.com/TimProbert">http://society6.com/TimProbert</a>. And there's now a handy new link on the blog's sidebar.<br />
I'm also hoping to begin using my long dormant Etsy shop for originals and limited edition signed prints sometime in the future. <br />
<br />
And here's a funny bear! He's so short!<br />

Here's a picture of the Snake Eyes figure I had, from the frighteningly detailed <a href="http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/Snake-Eyes_%28RAH%29" target="_blank">G. I. Joe wiki</a>. Apparently it's the fourth version, from 1991. Who knew?<br />

Side note - I got a nice little write up on the Illustration Friday blog. Cool stuff.

I. JoeI loved G. I. Joe's as a kid. With their ridiculous names and over the top personalities. Those little plastic dudes were the best. I've started drawing a series of them, exploring their sensitive sides. They may have liked explosions, but I'm sure they also read novels, liked to cook, wrote poetry...<br />
Drawings of Joe's to come soon. Stay tuned!<br />
