Originally, I wanted to try out digital painting by focusing on the new Captain America chest armor from Age of Ultron, but as I painted I found myself stretching out toward the shoulders and neck. Suddenly it looked weird without a face so I completed the head. I like the unfinished look because it reveals the process.
After the Captain America piece, I had a sudden urge to paint more of the Avengers. I wanted to do a lighting study of Vision, a character I can't wait to see on the big screen. I'm confident that his appearance and alliance with the Avengers will blow audiences away. I searched the internet for concept art to make the study as close to the Age of Ultron depiction as I could. Marvel is probably saving his theatrical reveal for the release!
I can't wait to see the Ant-Man movie. The detail in this piece is mostly focused in the eyes and front area of the helmet. I pulled the reference image from a quick shot in the new trailer in order to keep it accurate. The look in his eyes is a combination of fear and awe as he sees the world from the shrunken state, as if he's fallen into a microscope. I hope a 50-foot-tall Ant-Man is forced to save the day near in the climax of the film.
I just recently finished my Ultron digital painting. I had a lot of fun working on this. The metallic gradients were really challenging.
I will put together another article when I've completed a new set of paintings.
