Big ol' sketchdump!

I’m stuck in the mother of all art funks. Drawing my way out of it hasn’t worked yet, so I changed gears and started messing around in Photoshop with a picture that had already been inked. I think I like the inked version better.

Paper texture is from bleeding-dragon on DA.

The Plague!

A couple of weeks ago, I was knocked on my ass by some kind of flu/cold hybrid that was making its way around town. On the bright side, I managed to do some quick and messy artistic venting. I was seriously considering the kleenex-box fort, at one point.

I LIIIIIVE

I liiiiiiiiiiiiiive! I ANIMATE! I CAN STILL USE A TABLET PEN!

Portfolio stuff

Some stuff for an entrance portfolio that I was working on last month. Perspective, you are a tricksy beast, but I'll get the hang of you one day!

Art duuuuuuump!

Inking practice and gesture drawings! Sorry for the long silence, I HAVE been drawing, just... not posting very much of it. It feels like I haven't finished anything in a long time...

testing, testing...

Testing out some perspective and acrylics!

Photoshop experimenting

Trying to teach myself how to paint realistically... used these two old renaissance paintings as reference!

Wheeeee!

Rapunzel fanart! Man, I love this movie.

Last few bits of 2010

Sketch challenge (the prompt was 'tonight' - in this case meaning Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight, by Spinal Tap), Secret Santa and shameless Ponyo fanart!

Doodles!

The first one is some experimenting with OpenCanvas, the second is some goofy Young Frankenstein fanart, and the third one is actually the full version of the header image! I did this one about... two years ago? It's still one of my favourite pieces.

"Neutral"

Done for a prompt on a livejournal community I'm part of. The theme of the week was 'neutral'.
When I think 'neutral', I always think of being stuck in the middle of a fight. There's nothing worse than being caught between two angry people, especially when you want nothing to do with the conflict at hand. The best you can hope to do sometimes is block out the noise and wait for the dust to settle.

More animation tests

Some more animation tests. I'm trying to teach myself symbol animation in Flash... practice, practice!

More watercolour experimentin'

The adorable Rat (dude on the right) belongs to MTface! I just borrowed him for some experimenting. Tried to go easier on the watercolours this time, and I like how it turned out!

CLOWNS

The moral of this story is that no good can come from fundraising clowns invading your local foodcourt. Also, I should do more comics.

Leap

At some point in college, I started drawing this tribe of crazy bird people who lived in jungle-treehouses. They worshipped birds and the sky, and associated height with spiritual ascension, and the earth with filth, corruption, etc. By their logic, birds were the holiest creatures on earth because of how rarely they touched the ground. Each member had a hairstyle (usually a mohawk) and outfit that resembled a tropical bird, accompanied by some kind of masquerade/plague doctor-lookin' mask, and... oh MAN am I ever tired. yeah, ok, my brain is fried. Time to go to bed.

Acrylics, brush pen, one severely mangled sketchbook page, and some photoshop-fixin'!

Snow, Glass, Apples

Sorry I've been away for so long, guys (all two of you who read this thing!) Life's been keeping me busy. This one's a fanart for Neil Gaiman's horrifying take on Snow White, called Snow, Glass Apples. You'll never be able to look at the original the same way again.

Downpour

Started sketching this one in the middle of a thunderstorm. All in all, about half of it is traditional, and half is photoshop-Frankensteining.

Testing, 123 Testing...

Just testing! This was some Young Frankenstein fanart that turned into a colouring experiment. I've been humming 'Transylvania Mania' and 'Roll In the Hay' ever since seeing the musical in March.
