The Hunt - WIP · 26 May 2009
So I was sat at home on Friday night, having a few beers with work, when the conversation drifted onto what I’d be painting next. I mentioned that I was thinking of another vampire piece, and during the next few minutes we thrashed out the idea of a hunting piece – with Nosferatu marshalling his brides for the kill.
I start by sketching in the basic figures (actually I started with pen on paper, but I don't have a working scanner right now). I'm trying to use bestial poses - especially the girl to the left, who (if you can see) is on all fours. Really pleased with the girl holding the heart (yes, that's what it's supposed to be!).
Now we’re cooking! You never know, I might get around to finishing this one!
I've sketched in the Huntsman (Nosferatu!), and added some red counter-lighting. The third girl moved around - she looked a bit too cheesy before. I'm really pleased with the composition now, so it's really all about the detail from here on.
