Learning and unlearning...

Trying out a new style. Speed paint of 40 minutes.

Warzone

... seems appropriate for the moment. Part of an unused background concept for a project I was working on a couple of months back.

The Edge of Rokugan

This was the background for one of the paintings I made. I realized the background could stand on its on... so here it is. I used to hate painting environment scenes, but now I'm beginning to enjoy them... although I know I still have a lot to learn and practice to make myself better at this.

Crimson Sentry

Drawing environments has never been my strong suit but this one came out pretty ok. Thank god for google and its all knowing search engine for the various pic references. (^_^) 

The painting shows a typical "Torii" that supposedly marks the entrance of a temple or shrine. This one long forgotten and the shrine/ temple gone.
