Felicia Day Mass Effect painting update 10
After a break over the festive season I’m painting again 😀
Here’s the latest progress on the Felicia Day Mass Effect oil painting. I’ve started on the background now and added a new character Thane. I’m hoping to push on and get this finished within the next week.

Here’s the latest update on the progress of my current painting. Still not got the likeness I’m after yet.

I’ve started the painting now. Although this is a larger painting with other things going on I am concentrating on getting the face right. If I don’t get this part right the painting will be scrapped without wasting any time on the rest of it. It’s looking okay at the moment but I need to put more work into it so I am happy before moving on. I really get a bit uncomfortable about posting unfinished work but maybe someone will appreciate seeing the different stages of progress 🙂

Felicia Day painting preparation sketch 4.
Here’s a sketch of the headshot I will probably use for the painting. I may change the expression slightly when it comes to painting the picture. This one had a bit more time spent on it and I used some darker pencils so it’s a bit smudged but it turned out okay in the end. The paper wore a bit thin in places where I’d overworked some areas.

Here’s a second Felicia Day sketch in preparation for an oil painting I plan to do shortly. This is a side view of her face. The painting is going to have a Mass Effect theme. This sketch is part of learning the facial features of Felicia Day. Say that tongue twister fast 3 times if you can 😀

I am working on a Sci-Fi story which I am also creating the artwork for. I’m not going to go into too much detail at this stage. This is an empty interior of a large room within a space station orbiting a planet. This standard area is a template so I can experiment with different types of room within this space so I’ll post some more variations as I do them.

Before creating a painting where I have to get the features correct so the face is recognisable, I like to do a few sketches first. By doing this I can learn the facial features of that person from different angles which helps to improve the final piece.
I plan on doing a painting featuring Felica Day, (with a Sci-Fi twist), so here’s a pencil sketch of her as I start to learn her features.
