Just One Thing For Now....

I just wanted to post this with more elaboration because I'm super proud of it.



This is a gradient I made in my rendering class. Know how? I took a prismacolor pencil and held it by the far end with two fingers. I then VERY LIGHTLY placed the end of the pencil on the illustration board and brush the surface with the pencil in large ellipses. So lightly that I could hear the pencil, but see no lines. I then did this for at least 10 hours until I produced this. This is why I am so proud of it. Expect me to post more of my work from this class because, believe it or not, I am REALLY excited about what I'm going to learn to do in it, even if it does take me hours.

Just as I Promised

Sketches! Just as I promised. I do what I say sometimes! A mix of stuff. Don't know if I'll finish any of it, but maybe.

I saw The Spirit a few weeks ago. CJ is The Spirit of laps. Plus he'd look adorable in a tie.


A sketch of Fen. It was going to be so I could get a better idea of what I want to do with his tattoo, but I turned his torso too much. So it's just him looking sexy or sly or silly or some other s-word.


And Syd. Because she hasn't been getting enough love lately. And I was feeling a little down, so emo sketches are bound to happen.


And now more WoW art. The wolvar are adorable anthropomorphic wolverine things. And I wanted to draw one. So I did. A little unfinished right now, I was drawing it in class and never got around to finishing it.


And some anatomyish sketches for something I want to draw in a picture for Scott. It would have helped tremendously to actually look at an image of the monster, but we were watching CSI and it felt rude to open the game while kinda cuddling and watching TV. So I improvised.


Again, reference would have helped. This was the idea for the image, though I might not run with it as I don't really like how the Protodrake came out. It was more of a general pose sketch than anything.


I really hate this, but I said I would post sketches so I just uploaded everything. It was going to be a Christmas picture with mistletoe of my character, Irr, and Scott's character, but I was drawing at a miniature golf course and didn't have a table and oh god I couldn't get Irr's nose to not look horrendous, so I (obviously) didn't get very far in this. Plus it was after Christmas so the effort felt pointless.


Baby talbuks! I loves Loki, the little talbuk I crocheted a few months back (I've still been meaning to make him a friend, but I am incredibly lazy and most of my yarn is at home). So I drew an angry little baby talbuk. I actually really like how this came out and may finish it.


And another Christmas/winter picture. I thought it'd be silly to have Irr warming herself over one of her fire totems, but I didn't have a lot of reference while drawing this (another image that came out while sitting around at the miniature golf place), but I might actually finish this one. It's past Christmas and is never really winter in California, but I like the idea and how it's been coming out so far, so I'll consider it.

That's it for now. I see about posting more when I draw more! I may also have some crochet/knitting stuff up too as I have been busy, hehe.

I draw things sometimes

I have stuff to post, I swear. I just need to take pictures of it. Until then, enjoy my perspective final. And the lineart to a picture I'd like to color.



This is the sketch I'd like to color. It started off as a "Woo I hit 80!" picture, but turned into a "my life is sad because I'm too lazy to get rep for this mount" picture, though I shall have it someday! I really like how this turned out. Especially the face. I especially like that I learned that hippogryphs have really creepy legs. Now you will look again and they WILL scare you.
That's right, I did more WoW pictures for school. My life is sad. I also considered coloring this, though my teacher told me not to and to just focus on the perspective. I then found out everyone else colored theirs. Oh well! Still like how it came out.

More sketches (yes, mostly WoW-themed) once I get around to taking pictures of them.
