SciFi and Fantasy Art The Wild Boar Company emblem, in color by Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette


	The Wild Boar Company emblem, in color Here the colored version of The Wild Boar Company emblem. I used Photoshop to bring on the color, using layers properties and some little tricks. The coloration is pretty simple, as the initial picture is really dense.

16 Jan 2003	Eric Forgeot	Loading... Tout en restant traditionnel, c'est original ! Félicitations ! Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette replies: "I got inspired by Celtic ornementation clipart catalog for that one. C'est de la que vient le coté traditionnel, le tout mis dans une composition plus personnelle. Les références, toujours les références..."
16 Jan 2003	Cara To	Loading... Oeh me like this
21 Jan 2003	Diana M Chien	Loading... J'aime beaucoup! I can just imagine seeing this on a Celtic warrior's helm. Your art is so beautifully stylized and bold, it looks like the woodcuts in one of my favorite fairy tale books! Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette replies: "Glad you found it has a fairy tales book, for me Fairy tales imagery come directly from there, and I want to have this atmosphere to my work. You couldn’t make me a nicer comment! As you where talking it could do well on a Celtic inspired shield, well, that’s exactly what I had in mind. Take a look at «The Wild Boar Company» group pic, the front character bear it on his shield…"
8 Jun 2003	Jennifer Petitte	Loading... Just beautiful! The design is perfect. I wish I could make little random designs like that. I seem to have trouble doing random "filler" designs (though your designs may not be fillers) for clothing or such... Is there a technique to it? Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette replies: "Hi Jennifer, glad you like this pic as well! Well, as for the whole ornementation thing, I use a lot of reference to feed me some ideas and patterns shape. I use to open a lot of books around me to grab some drawing twist and shape there and there, curving them to fit the shapes I place them into. For this one, I had a book about Charlemagne featuring photos of medieval ornemented object and a book with a lot of Medieval tapestry. I also often use clipart books (which can be found in most art supplies store) which are full of well themed work to get inspiration, as well as some ornementation and pattern book, made especially to inspire craftmen and artist. I had the chance to find some really cheap one at a used book store.Anyway, hope it get you inspired a bit, and thanks a lot for your many comments!"
13 Jul 2003	Sara M Osth	Loading... Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! I like the way in which it's celtic knotwork and still alltogether original and inventive. I'll be back here, believe me! Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette replies: "Glad you like I don’t do this kind of piece very often as they ask me a lot of work, but I must say I like the result. As stated above, I use clipart and pattern books to get inspiration and reference for shape and pattern on such work."
