Yannick Bouchard final work "Downfall of Castle Grayskull"

"So, here is the finished version of this painting, which I finished a few weeks ago, but hadn't posted yet. This was a commissioned painting based on the characters from The Masters of The Universe (He-Man). . You can scroll and see some process pics. The second image is a rough conceptual sketch I did digitally, so my client could have an idea of where I was going with it and approve it. I then did a photoshoot with the fantastic @carlottachampagne -I brought that sketch to show her so we could recreate those poses. . The third image is a colored digital sketch I did, once I had the photos of my model. Yes, she is all 4 characters, haha! It kinda make sense when you think about it, because all the characters in the toy line and cartoons had similar body types. And Sorceress and Teela are mother and daughter, so it explains the likeness 😁 . The 4th image is the rough underpainting. I traced the drawing on the canvas, then added a bit of details with thin oil paint. I let it dry for a week or so, then brushed over a wash of diluted ochre color over it. . The 5th image is the first layer in color, which I did in about a day and half. . Last image is the final painting. I did one character at a time. It took between 15 to 24 hours to do each one of them. Then, I did the background, which took almost 24 hours to do. The whole painting took about 140 hours to do (not counting digital sketches). . Title: Downfall of Castle Grayskull Dimensions: 30" x 40" Medium: oil painting on stretched cotton canvas"
