Fan art paintings

[Baked Jake]

I made a new thread for this as it's not just a normal piece of GPK fan art, plus I plan to do more of these. I finally put down my pencils and picked up a paint brush. The GPK below is what I painted and I think it turned out really well for a first try!

I call him Moultin' Milton.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks! I spent longer on this next one than I ever have on any of my GPK art before. She's called Cryin' Krysten / Crystal Bawl.

Get yourself a nice Winsor & Newton Series 7 #1 or 2 brushes.
Expensive, but...
...if you don't let the paint dry on the brush it will last you a year or 2.
They also are the best at keeping a nice shape and brush tip.
Wouldn't use anyting else for small paintings.
Also buy the ceap craft paints. I started using those before I got into liquitex and that stuff.
All I can say to make these paintings better is to make more darker and lighter areas around the face
and arms.
Try copying a good full figure Pound.
Try to make it as close as possible.
I wouldn't waste time on drawing it.
Painting is different from drawing and an art of it's own.
Copy/Trace the art you want to learn to paint not draw.
so that way when you make mistakes they are painting
mistakes not drawing mistakes. Having both can make you
want to cut off a gnad.
Then when you gt that down draw it and paint it from scratch.
When you got that down...make a GPK of your own that you have been doing.
You will be 20x better.

I finished the painting off today. Here's Caught Mort / Koi Roy.

Regular bristol board is good.
Some gesso it others don't.

I paint straight on it.

Here's a painted version of one of my old GPK drawings, in fact it was the first I ever posted on the net. Thanks to Stinger for resizing the image for me. Here's Jack L. N. Hyde.

Glen,

Your style is similar to Series 1-2's...is that on purpose? Your personal feelings come out in your artwork.

Take care,
Peter

[Baked Jake]

Hi Peter. Yes, the paintings I've done so far are similar to series one and two, because I think they are the two best GPK series. I guess whatever you paint or draw your feelings will come out in it a little. Thanks for your comments.

I went out last week and bought some acrylic paints, a couple of new brushies and other new art stuff. Here's my first attempt with the acrylics. I might do some more detail with this one later, maybe put a window in under the character, but I just wanted to show you how I'm doing. This one is Icy Isaac.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I'm spending most of my spare time painting now. I thought I'd try an alien GPK next and I finished this a couple of days ago. I call her Sheila Feeler / Una Verse.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks! I'll try a abstract GPK soon. Here's my latest one. Sorry that the pic is a bit big, Photobucket is acting up again. Anyway, he's called Blisterin' Blake / Roastin' Royce.

[Baked Jake]

Here's my latest GPK painting. I did it for Stinger for helping me with resize my pics. He's called Medi Cal / Hank Saw.

[Baked Jake]

I did this one today. Sorry if the pic is too big, photobucket I'm afraid. He's called Fanged Frank / Undead Ed.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks Zoop and Stinger. I finished this painting last night. He's called Link Sink / Drownin' Drew.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks GPD and Snig! Here's my latest one. It's called Wreckin' Ren / Demolition Debbie.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks everyone! I did this one yesterday evening. He's called Set Brett / Rocco Hard.

[Baked Jake]

Here you go, Zoop. What do you think?

[Baked Jake]

Here's one I finished today. He's called Lumber Jack / Destroyin' Forrest.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks Zoop and Cory. Here's my latest GPK. He's called Bed-Head Ed / Pillow Phil.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks Stinger and Cory. Here's my latest GPK. He's called Rob In Hood / Mechanic Alec.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks! Here's Ty Eye / Bud Shot.

[Zoop]

Love it, although it'd be cool if his eyes were bloodshot, too.

[Baked Jake]

Thanks Zoop. Here's the first painting I've finished in a while. Let me know what you think, everyone. I call him Overwhelmed Oscar / Ward Award.

[Baked Jake]

This one's called Clyde Ride. I hope somebody likes this one.

[Sniglet]

I like this one. It would be cool to be a semi-close up GPK and you have the legs of a little kid on the side of him riding him. You should throw a saddle on there as well, that would be cool

[Zoop]

Love the Oscar one. Great stuff!

[Baked Jake]

Thanks Snig and Zoop. Here's my latest GPK. He's called Sean Spawn / Stu Goo.

[Zoop]

Awesome painting!! One of the best so far.

[Stinger]

I like how its hanging out of his mouth. :lol1:

[Baked Jake]

Thanks Zoop and Stinger. I just finished this one. He's called Mick E. Mousetrap / Trapped Travis.
