So for the past week or so I've been working on this Mighty Boosh piece. I don't often do fan art at all, but that just tells you how awesome I think Noel Fielding and Jullian Barrett are.
the final was done in watercolor and acrylic. if you can believe it the portraits are all in water color and the background is the acrylic. some water colors such as lemon yellow, cerulean blue, new gamboge and white have a chalkier pigments so if you build them up you can use them as gouache layers. crazy right!?
color study. Originally I wanted to do the background as a type of photo collage digitally as a homage to the opening of the show "come with us now on a journey through time and space, to world of the Mighty Boosh" sigh...but it didn't work out quite as well as i had hoped. it either felt to busy or to separate from the portraits
Final sketch. the original concept was to put them in different costumes that represented their character's personalities. Howard is the minstrel because he's the tiny eyed jazz loving musician and Vince is the clown because he's fashionable androgeness free spirit.
concept sketches
initially with my final concept I wanted to do full figures but I was having trouble with a composition that would put their face into prominence... cause they have awesome faces so I did portraits instead.
BOUNUS FEATURES
I haven't been posting for a while so to make up for that here's some other things i've been working on. this first one is actually really old but I didn't have a good picture of it until now
Mr. Susan! He's gonna do the chosen!
this is actually a messed up version of the background that i painted over cause i was bored
