Today I got special permission to post another one of my recent works.
This is a Joker from a poker card deck I made for one of my clients. I've been working with him for the past year and a half and created quite a lot of things, but can't really show you much, because it's still in development.
I hope you don't mind, but each of the WIPs will also have a watermark on top... .'
First I started with couple of different sketch compositions and poses, before he picked this one.
From here on all I had to do is add colors and details. The previous sketch was too rough.
The first part was the face (obviously, hehe). Had to look for many beautiful male model's faces, but at the end made some compilation.
One of the hardest things was the part around his neck. I remember it took me literally a day to polish it. XD
But as far as my research went, almost every joker or jester had one (it was quite fashionable at the time).
And my favorite part - the sleeves. .
At this point I wasn't very sure what colors will be used for the rest of the clothes, but kept going.
After another bit of research found that the red and golden colors were usually combined with more cold and dark shades of gray and blue. So finally my color scheme was complete. All I had to do now is finishing the folds and gloves.
With this I thought my piece was done. And my client also liked it a lot... for only a day... XD
One of the funniest stories about this piece is that my client asked me to make some alterations.
He wanted bigger arm and a smile. Easy to say than done. It's a lot harder when you already painted everything. At least I tried, hehe. XD
Everything was fine... until the next day when he said: "It wasn't enough. I want more muscular arm and wider smile. You can do it. If you can't, just learn how to..."
So this Pet here gives it all and here's the last version. .
And here's the GIF... It's so funny, I just had to make it!
In the end Size does matter! XD
Well, I hope you like it.
Have a great day, everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
