Swamp Thugs

Description

Entry for *nJoo's Rock Off contest - 3000 AD Gangster Warlord.
Ran out off time - kept wanting to add more... 12 hours, artrage 2.5 and tablet. Started off impressionistic, proved I can paint non-female persons :D

Closeup of the Warlord is here [link]

Incidentally, is 3000x3000 pixels, and my computer practically broke down... kept wanting to make it a bit bigger, just a little more... and then the computer would freeze for twenty minutes. Anway, due to that, and time, the top right mist isn't very well blended. The mist on the left took over an hour.

Anyway.... smog, swampiness, cyborgs, glowing tattoos-things, tentacle arms, and a gun. I used no references and I probably should have. The tentacle at the bottom left is his, she's leaning on her elbow and pointing the gun, which is why it's out of sight.

Cat got in and walked around on the desk for an hour, at one point. This was bad, as she was being violently affectionate and viewed the tablet pen as something presented for her to headbutt.

File's too big... taking ages to upload. Actually finished this an hour ago, but with all the tidying and freezing and slowness...
FAR too late, must submit, enter and sleep now...

I like the different shades of blue and green blending together. It does add that mix of water and plantlife together, forming a rather 'swampy' effect, which is mentioned in your title.

And this theme somewhat breaks away when looking at the man's face, different scene where one looks at smooth yet proud fellow who lays a smirk as his blade is stained with blood.

The curves around the hair and and the tree trunk beside the subject (plus the curved blade and 'tentacle' that appears) create a calm effect, contrasting the man's vindictive look.

Good work.
