RMP is currently in its early execution phase. The focus is on organizing and reviewing source material, setting up a functional workspace, and planning the first section of the mural. These steps are essential to lay the groundwork for production, promotion, and long-term goals such as public engagement, resource development, and educational tools.
Glenn has selected a small portion of the mural to bring to a finished state as a sample of the completed work.
This is the section of the mural that Glenn is currently working on.
Worked on character drawings this week. I'm starting with development of the 4 horsemen. This week is Conquest and War. I also started painting the clouds. It's very challenging working out the transitions from scene to scene.
More refinements to the website and work continues on the digital sketch. I did some color studies for the sky which sets the mood for the images. Clouds and other atmosheric conditions will be layered on top of that.
This week saw me finishing the sketching process and getting photos of the 4 large pages stitched together on my computer so I can begin the digital painting. Some finishing touches were done on the RMP website and it is ready to be published to the internet. It's about time I purchase a dot com.
I am currently working on a small section of the whole image to bring it to a point that represents the mural in it's completed state. This small section is roughly 10% of the whole image and is intended to give prospective donors a clear sample of Glenn's vision of the big picture.
I finally got most of the character drawings done and included onto the digital painting. I am currently working on all the background elements...sky, clouds and such. Once that is done the character paintings can begin.
