Invasion

This piece, titled “Invasion” is a sort of study or practice piece. I realized I needed to work on my ambient lighting in paintings to help bring across an emotion that might not be obvious within the action or focus of the painting. Mainly for the painting I started planning a couple of weeks ago. I will possibly do a couple more studies of a different nature because somethings I will be attempting are not really me or part of my style at all.

“Invasion” was painted in MyPaint and Photoshop using a Wacom Intuos graphic tablet.

I have just completed painting my "Bad Monster" drawing that I completed almost a month ago to the day. This illustration was painted in MyPaint using a Wacom Intuos 5 and signed and branded in Photoshop.

I'm not sure this illustration really needs explanation... I hope it doesn't anyway, hahaha!

Here are two of my more recent caricature portraits of two caricature artists by the name of Roy Solis and Parvath Sekhar. They were created in MyPaint using a Wacom Intuous 5, signed and branded in Photoshop.

Bad Monster

This is a digital ink on paper drawing of a little girl scolding a monster for breaking her doll. At the moment it is only a line drawing but will probably also become a digital painting at some point. It was drawn in MyPaint with a Wacom Intuos 5; signed and branded in Photoshop.

World of Art

This was originally just an illustrative piece done for myself. It somewhat translates my feelings at the time, which were of peace, tranquility, and most of all creativity. It was voted image of the week for Photoshop Creative magazine and the cover image for ArtFlow magazine.

I had first approached this piece as a pencil sketch and thought to create a base scene in 3D for shadow and reflection references that I just wouldn't have otherwise. During the 3D construction I decided to just create the whole scene in 3D, however, towards the end I realized everything was too stiff and I wanted a more relaxed cartoony style and so I started over using my 3D render as a reference as I had intended to do from the beginning. You can view the sketch and 3D render, along with some other details, on my site at RyanNore.com.

Judgement

This was created for a digital art contest which was themed “Human Nature”. It should depict mainly judgment but of course, as with most things, it also displays other human behaviorisms.

This image shows four judges sitting up high on donkeys, or asses, and their individual approaches to someone that has bared himself to them. One is scornful, another arrogant, a third ridiculing, and the last is apathetic.

This painting is not so much about judges as it is about people's natural behavior to judge others based upon their own limited viewpoints as a result of their own limited experiences. The judges themselves merely represent the most common reactions towards those they have judged. And the judged shows a common reaction of those that have been judged.

Famous Caricatures

Some caricatures of celebrities or famous people. All digitally created in MyPaint, GIMP, and/or Photoshop using a Wacom graphic tablet.

Caricature Portraits

Here are some caricature portraits of other caricature artists. They were painted in MyPaint, GIMP, and/or Photoshop using a Wacom graphic tablet.
