Paint Battle

I really like digital painting but I always feel awkward the moment the underlying sketch disappears, like the energy is being killed or whatever. Maybe my love for line art and inks clouding my judgement. Anyway, I've noticed having reference of paintings modern or classic are helping me out a lot lately, it's like the visualisation battle is taken care of and I'm free to play around with the concept.

Enough of my rambling, here are some wips and junk.
