Dark Temple Sketches 4

I tried to make the temple look like it was made of basalt (a dark volcanic rock apparently).

I experimented with a new texturing process:

1. Using a textured brush (one of Gimp’s built-in acrylic brushes), I painted onto a separate layer.
2. Using the eraser tool on the texture layer, I cut the texture down to fit the shape of the temple.
3. I then switched on Lock Alpha Channel for the texture layer and painted light and dark areas with a large brush.

Not sure I like the design of the windows – I was wanting something more gothic.

Anyway I think I’ll leave this one for now and get on with some landscape studies next.
