Zombies are bad

Left is Shiara who is Lecia's character. The stupid one is mine :D

Me and some cool kids made a comic when I was a fearless youth. LOL. Anyway, there really is something sweet about how naive and horrible it is. The two characters are from that. I.. might wanna try comics again?!?!

again another quick sketch of another character in the dream!

promoting the habit!

So last night was the craziest dream I've ever had, and I thought I would try to illustrate what I saw, so this is the dude who sent the ragtag group of people out to save a tree woman spirit thing from being captured by a beast cause that would lead to the destruction of the forest. Which is always a bad thing!

Once Upon a Sketch...

hey long time no post! -_- kinda defeats the purpose I know, but I come bearing gifts!


I started with the wanderer dude and then sketched on top of each one till you end with the fro dude. It was an interesting workout. :)

How do I be does sculpt?

I have one day left to finish this so I'll whine tonight then mope around tomorrow until it is done.

I've successfully psyched myself out of ever doing maquettes again, forever. The old base was torn apart in favor of something more sturdy, however it is still extremely top heavy.

I accidentally grabbed a pack of silver instead of grey so he's covered in bits of glitter now. Also, the third batch I mixed was darker. Not a big problem if/when I paint it, but it's a pain in the ass right now because nothing looks cohesive.

In short, I hate it and wanna drop it in the trash can. I know what needs to be done but my skills are so subpar..


I finished this. This is me detail whoring.

Skatches

Here's some more daily stuff. Gonna do some more intense lighting cause I'm finding it really interesting recently.. and my mood and atmosphere is kinda crap so! Been listening to We're Alive while I sculpt, which I'm totally digging. It's nice when I'm reclusing it up in my room.




Bottom one inspired by WA and Walking Dead comic.. well part 1 on the collected edition. They switched artists for part 2 and it looks like whoever did it was inking with their butt. Which may be an amazing feat but ugly art means no Seta.

Keep drawing!

Even more WIP

This is a progress for my final, I've decided to do a maquette of my Fisherman character. I ran out of clay because I underestimated how big I intended to make it. I really don't wanna drive all the way to michael's, but alas.. >:|

Tiasu costume stuff. Overall warmth with the cool coming from the blue face paint.

a Pair of queens

Im chomping right through the number cards, but the face cards are going to be difficult. In fact, most face cards, are unique. Like all 4 queens on a standard french deck made by bicycle  are all different.

SO here is a test piece / sketch that I did for the queen of clubs

I also did another test piece of a queen, but the one above came out WAAAAy better.

4 of a kind

Please tell me what you guys think, before I sink time into the face cards, All feedback is welcome good or bad! If this goes well I might do another deck or three, because in reality its only a handful of images duplicated over and over.

Aces High Suits

I going to try to make a deck of cards

SHARING SATURDAY II :D

I was thinking of what I wanted to share and was feeling nostalgic so here are some of my childhood influences.

The first is Hiroaki Samura. He writes and draws Blade of the Immortal which is what the first two pictures are from. The last is from his artbook, Hitodenashi no Koi.. It is horrifically graphic and quite lovely at the same time. That is one of the tamer pictures so as not to scar your eyes. LOL

The second is Takehiko Inoue. Who is immaculate to say the very damn least. Those two images are panels from his comic Vagabond.

Samura and Inoue made want to learn pen and ink and pencil. I remember sitting in a hot garage trying to figure out how to make a quill not suck, how to make a brush function like a pen. I was banned from inking in the house because I was damn clumsy, haha.

These are still some of my favorite artists, but in a way, it feels like I've grown out of them a bit. Either way, I still feel strong influence from Samura in my pencils, but my inks are still piss poor. ONE DAY!

More WIP

Almost done with this one. There's a few color tweaks left to be done.


Some detail whore-age.
I got an art table at an anime convention so.. this is gonna be one of my poster prints. LOL. Don't even care, shit is going on my wall.

Here are some sketches I've been doing as of late! just different adjustments to the brush :)

okay more art! These were some kitty cat comissions I did for my boss at work...she's so excited that she wants more a lot more lol...hurray for comissions!

This is like a record for not posting. I just have too much stuff and don't know what to post because DAII is done and 360 will prolly be drifting off to the big green x in the sky soon.


This was for Neo's artjam. Big thing where everyone draws shit for everyone. Was nice! This is someone's cat/dragon charatcer I did.

colossus update

haha okay so I think I'm almost done! Maybe a few tweaks for emphasis here and there. Any other suggestions or issues I've over looked would be welcomed!

Hey so here it is at stage 3, after another 6 hrs of work...still got a ways to go, working on the mouth now!

I added more overgrowth, thinking it still needs some more stuffs there.
I also added more knights it give a better sense of scale! I love the guys silhouette in the background.

colossus update

Hey here's another update before work, I put textures on all the legs and detailing in the trees. Then I also added some dust and particles around the feet (below head) and by the wall.

What's left?
1. MOUTH OF CREATURE!
2. helmet of foreground soldier maybe add a few more soldiers if time permits?!
3. Some more of the rift flora to make this place even more colorful and overgrown!
3. lighting and emphasis.
4. Color balance

So I'll be working through the night :)

hey long time no post got some stuff to share. Lots I've been meaning to share like this baby, my life colossus...needs the dapple of color to bring this baby girl alive but so far I'm pretty happy with it.



Here's some character sketch I did while on brake from the colossus!
