Ser Jorah Mormont played by Iain Glen in Game of Thrones.
I’m trying out a new technique to create colour pieces, a lengthy process that involves first finding dark colours such as blues, greens and reds, then adding light colours such as yellow, steadily up to a dark grey, then filling in excess colours manually.
The first image is a GIF of the colour construction, the second is further photographic documentation, and the third is the finished piece.

First colour piece in a while, hopefully more in the future.
Finishing off a piece of a certain heart-throb in a certain film that is in the cinema at the moment. Will publish the final piece tonight after I see it . . if the film is as good as the reviews!!
Back from my job in The Alps, knocked up a sketch of a photo I took of a snowboarder doing a jump.

So I’m looking to sell this painting from aaaaaages ago, about to link potential buyers the GIF of it being made, and it’s not on the site. I’m pretty confident I have posted it before because it got featured on Tumblr’s Illustration page, but here it is again so I have a link to it (hopefully). Enjoy!
EDIT: SOLD. GIFs FTW
Can’t post much recent work as they’re mostly Christmas commissions and wouldn’t want to spoil any surprises.
However this is a recent commission of Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones, played by the brilliant Peter Dinklage, probably my last piece before I’m off to work in France for a few months!
Time for a belated re-plugging of my wares methinks… so, prints and books still available on my online shop, http://rupertsmissenillustration.bigcartel.com. To sweeten the deal, for a limited time only, every print order receives a free copy of my Misanthrope comic. Whether ya like it or not.
Only way to make room for new stuff see…
Plugging my good friend Rupert Smissens great illustrative work. All aboard the promotion train, plug plug plug plug plug woo woo
Just made a GIF of my ‘Tom Hardy / Forrest Bondurant’ from ‘Lawless’ ink painting. Well chuffed with it.
Just finished the latest Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) book. Well worth a read, and the TV series is pretty spot on. This is an ink painting of one of the main protagonists, Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke.
I’ve been working on a piece today for a couples 25th anniversary, photos soon, here’s the GIF of it being made from my GO PRO
