Sea Monster (Test #1)

Just a test of a new series sketched up to take an entertaining look at Sea Monsters!
These were drawn in Inkscape, exported to an image and brought into Art Rage Studio Pro and then painted using a large roller. The colours are a bit dim, not so much my liking. Perhaps I’ll revisit when time (or interest) permits.
Update (the following day)

Colour isn’t my strong suit, so I spent a partial evening re-imaging the drawing. As ArtRage provides stencil functionality using your own images, I loaded up a grunge photo to add new texture to the image. I’m still finding the overall colours to be too muted, I’ll want to try bolder hues next time.
Update (the following, following day)

As much as ‘working the colour’ sounds impressive (to me at least), my confession is this: when it comes to colour I’m just guessing which ones work (or don’t) with others. Here’s a third and, for the time being, final attempted. Yes, its an orange ocean.
