YARGH! Wip

Just a little portrait on the side. I'll probably be working this portrait further later in the week.

PIT

K, if you full view you're gonna see a lot of mistakes, but at this resolution it looks half decent

Ornate Building

I think we need an infusion of new content. I'll admit, I've been incredibly lazy this month, but that needs to end. Until I produce something of value, here's a drawing I started today.

Colossus Finished

Didn't take me that long to do the actual color of the colossus compared to the background but woot! I'M DONE! Hope I win something =P.

Landscape Painting 2

Slowly but surely.

A Soldier, Unmasked - The Hero's Successor

Sketches for a protagonist - an underwhelming young man with incredibly large shoes to fill. I'm trying to feel out the style of these characters - I haven't exactly decided what these soldiers, under their helmets, should look like, or in what style they should be drawn. I started making this guy look younger in recent drawings, to kind of emphasize his inexperience. The effect of that decision can be seen in the sketches below. These might be the first drawings of this character that I've liked so far, so I may continue developing him in this direction.

Other news - related. A website, of sorts, will be going up for this li'l project soon. It'll be related to all our other dorky, indie game dev goodness.



I was trying to figure out on this page which of his features I really wanted to emphasize. The eyes are a big part of it. He looks naive, doesn't he?




In the lower-right, he may look to young, but this kind of main character suits my needs right now. Transitioning into a muscle-bound soldier may be tough, so I'm gonna have to start showing some of the characters to be a little more lanky in their uniforms - not unlike the actors from Japanese Super Sentai tokusatsu programs.

More of this Junk

There's been a distinct lack of posts lately, and to be honest, I've only really worked on that comic from last time. Here's more of that

scene001

I've been craving doing a longer piece for a while. So for the next while I think I will pump out a few scene ideas and pick one to run with. We shall see :O

Possible Fanfiction?

I've been reading the zelda fanfiction type comics of one talented artist I keep seeing at conventions. It got me thinking, if she can do it, I can do it.

this is just the concepty stuff but I think I want to have something like a futuristic or modern day hyrule setting and a plot that diverges a bit from the normal carbon copy zelda story.
It's kind of a dumb idea, but it's been getting me to draw more, so whatever floats your boat I guess

Landscape Painting

Sooo yeah I've been horrible at updating stuff lol. I just really haven't done anything drawing wise. I've been reading a lot though. Fantasy books shall always be my favorite XD. Btw landscapes are hard >< specially when you don't have a direct reference.

Whoops

I totally edited over my last post. I just meant to copy and paste the post and change a few things! Hahahaha, whoops. Well, there are new pictures on that post now. I'll repost the other sketches somewhere... eventually. Or here. You know. Whatever.

More Midnight Sketches, Space Soldiers Omegaranger

The 1970s certainly were a different time. And now for a look at some soldiers from a different time.



Omega One, leader of Space Soldiers Omegaranger. Colour - Red.




Omega Two, second-in-command. Colour - Black.




Omega Five, the darling of the Space Soldiers. Thanks, Dice, for sending me the image that inspired me to finish up the costumes for these space folk, and to create the lass pictured above.




The below is a sketch for an illustration I'm going to be creating for a related project called Zetaranger Go! It does not take place in the '70s.



The image might be called 'The Shadow Of The Giant'. On the right side foreground will be series protagonist Shigeo Akage. On the left, Zeta Red walks in the shadow of his predecessor. It'll be quite an undertaking to develop this image, and I'm kinda lazy when it comes to drawing so I don't know when it'll happen exactly, hahaha.

FANGFACE

I like to practice portraiture, this is what I'm currently working on. Also, I dunno how to make Samus not look retarded. Digital painting is not my forte.

anime north sword

I have not been on the ball with this, but here was a process shot of the sword i was building for my gf's cosplay, ill make sure to take a picture of the somewhat end result, kind of ran out of time and rushed the last bit, but i hope to fix it up, so it still isnt complete XD

face013

Time to sleep.

continuousline001

I sort of screwed up, whatevers. I drew 4 different things but nothing was really turning out right. So I just did a super simple doodle instead *sadface*

SAMUSFACE

It's the beginnings of a portrait.

OH ALSO

check out all the fun I had at AN! Pat at Anime North 2011

monster002

Sort of trying to get myself into the surreal and slight horror feel for a comic and good friend and I are working on. This isn't going to be in it but, I figure I'd better get used to drawing like this.

Comic Jam - Starring Dice and Rene

What did I learn from this? Never let Dice go hungry. She will hurt you. And she will barely try to hide it. Lucky for her I'm kind of slow and don't notice such things.

*******

I'm really bad at drawing and sharing things that aren't meant for some kind of purpose. I'd like to do more things like sketching and posting images of musicians I like, but with my schedule the way it is, I tend not to pay attention to those kinds of short-term goals.

I'm going to continue posting images pertaining to my own developments and projects, cause I'm much more motivated to do that. You know, those so-called rubber brothers. I also want to post more development images of my own for Bijoux Red and some of the other games we're developing.

Blah, blah, blah. Hahahaha. BLAHHH.

I want to see what everybody's been up to. I will peruse.

So yea.
I went to Anime North over the past weekend and it was a blast! However, my duties to this sketchblog were put on hold while I was out cosplaying and being a camera whore.
So, to make up for that, here's a drawing I did like over a week ago.

face012

Oh wow non alchemy! Didn't see that coming.

Colossus Design 2

Stuck on these. I always get lost on images where I don't have a final line art and just decide to color straight on the canvas. Though I love the freedom. Things get so stiff when I add line art (2nd one).

guy002

So few sketches lately :O Except from Christina who's super awesome at sketching daily.

Also missed yesterday, I blame this on fringe.

Draconess

Is everyone dead? Redo of an old character design.

Colossus Design

A design for a contest in the game Rift.

face011

Just naming it after my file naming scheme. I am not creative enough to think of better names xD

Drawing room

 a quickish sketch of an indoor environment
.

Grackle Finished

Boy this took a while. I hate it when I start something then half way through then I find a better way to do it and then it's hard to keep it the same consistency. Btw Game of Thrones has a great opening sequence you should check it out!

Allen Ginsberg

Quick study of beat poet, Allen Ginsberg. We were listening to a recording of Ginsberg reciting HOWL Saturday night & I wanted to give form to the disembodied voice.

face010

my 10th face labeled drawing using alchemy. Can't stop the drawing :D

Digital painting practice

I know what you're gonna say, and I have no valid reason for only painting/drawing zelda related stuff

smoke with cigarette

the View from Mrs. Formosi's english class

just a quick sketch I did from memory of what it looked like out the window of english class in grade 11. I'll probably paint into it next

hmm

havent been feeling too creative yesterday and today. Hopefully I'll kick that tomorrow!

100 Posts!

Atleast, that's what is says on my dashboard for some reason
Yes, West, I did base that guy on you :p

O HAI

Hello!  I wish I had time to post more, but I work so much :( I'll try to update as much as I can.  Anyway, we're printing new nametags at work (Zeroedge), so I made myself a new one. Done in illustrator.  I think I might add a texture over the owl, just an overlay.
Also, I'm working on caricatures of the staff members of my work for our website launch in a month of so, so once I have some good stuff from that I'll post it :)

Grackle Color2

Redid the feather's and just have to do the detail on the bottom.

what a View

work in progress

I swear I'll paint something different next time.
Maybe.

Ian Curtis

Quick silly doodle.

more face

Just some more face. Everything that is red pretty much just happened. The tool makes bigger random shapes the faster you move it. Sort of fun to play around with. Just doodlin :)
