Becky - The cover girl of ImagineFX, issue 49 November 2009.

So my very first appearance in an IFX mag makes the front cover, including a full on posing workshop inside the issue. This was definitely the most exciting artwork I've ever worked on in my entire art career to date. The entire process was a complete pleasure and flowed far smoother than I had anticipated.

They ended up choosing her with red hair for the cover, which I also totally love, but thought id share her with you as I originally had her from start to finish.

Anyway, I seriously recommend this issue to those who are wanting to learn more about how to approach posing. I shared as much as I could and even exceeded the limit they asked me to keep to, so Im sure there will be something for all of you guys to take and use to your advantage!

Lastly, this is for those of you who want to see how this ImagineFX cover turned out - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/WarrenLouw/IFX49cover.jpg

Hope you all enjoy!

Eva II (2009)

Just thought Id draw one of my own characters again, since I hardly ever do that. I remember I used to have a lil difficulty drawing the same character twice and getting them to look like the exact same person. So this was a lil test in itself for me. She was supposed to also be a quick artwork... I cant exactly say that she ended up being that.

Oh and heres a zoom in on her: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/WarrenLouw/EVAIIzoom.jpg

Anyway, hope you like!

She took much longer than expected. Long enough for me to almost scrap her and start over...

Guess this artwork is going to wrap up 2008 for me here, so hope you all had a Merry Xmas and will have Happy New Year! I wish you all the very best!

So this is my 2nd submission that managed to somehow make its way into UDON's Street Fighter Tribute art book launched at this years San Diego Comicon.

Gotta say, Im very honored to have my art feature in this book alongside many other exceptional artists, including some of my all time favourites - J. Scott Campbell, Adam Hughes, Stanley Lau and others...

I only decided to create her when I realised I still had about 4 days to go after completing my Chun-Li entry before the final submission deadline. So she was pretty much a last minute decision which took me around 3 days to finish.

Anyways... Enjoy!

Lili, from Tekken: Dark Resurrection, on the PSP.
Was initially just a sketch I entered into a local sketch challenge here in South Africa on comicwrx.5.forumer.com to help inspire other artists. Right after I decided to re-pencil and colour her just so i could squeeze in another artwork into my portfolio since there sadly hasnt been as much room for personal artwork anymore. As for her style?... guess it was just the urge of the day... and was completed over a 5 day period.

hope you guys like her!

This was one of two artworks of mine submitted to UDON's tribute art contest for Street Fighters 20th anniversary, showcasing some of the best international Street Fighter fan art/professional art.

There were over 1300 entries of which there were only 163 winners, including myself, but this was not the winning entry that got me in. My winning entry was of Cammy, and will only be able to unveil her once the art book has been launched at San Diego's Comicon on July 23.

This artwork took me a total of 5 days to complete including lineart and colours.

Hope you enjoy!

Yet again another one of my mouse renders. This is the summer version of the mascot, Eri I designed for a popular console gaming, anime, manga, toys and figurenes store here in JHB, RSA... AnimeWorX.]]> Tue, 25 Jul 2006 20:20:13 +0000 http://warrenlouw.cgsociety.org/gallery/384359

Took a total of 14 frustrating full days to complete back in the days when I still used a mouse to render. This was around the time when Final Fantasy played quite a large role in my inspiration behind my artwork, so you can see where Ive come from.

The characters were designed well before I got to this illustration. I wanted to create a similar feel with both. It took a while to actually figure out how I would pose them out in this artwork, but I think in the end it worked out fine.

The backround didnt really need reference, since I had a strong visual idea of how it should look. The only thing was, was that it took a while to finish and it got quite repetitive...

Anyway, thank you all for checking it out!

Below is a link including the two character design illustrations:

For an upcoming project from XSX Studios.

What a nightmare... The hours spent on creating this artwork were bizarre... but worth it in the end. This scaled down version doesnt at all show the work I went into so Ive attached 4 zoom ins of the girls including the leopard.

Thanks for checking it out!

A sketch I did more than year before actually colouring. Only got to painting this because I HAD to get into Painter since all I ever used before was strictly Photoshop, so I needed to expand. This is my very 1st Painter artwork.]]> Sun, 16 Jul 2006 09:04:36 +0000
