ohay, i finished something

when i said i would finish it, no less.

defining a style

first up.. a layout/wip of something I'm doing for a friend- to be finished by no later than this wednesday so that he has time to print out copies.
... he's bringing free food to Rainfurrest to help out people who've been misusing their money on art :3


and an update on the commission for Yaegashi.


and all the rest are some sketches trying to pin down the style I'll bs using for The River.
this first one kind of failed.


this one slightly less so O-o


starting to get a better handle on it here, especially in terms of the bodies.


here we go! the head on the far left one is a little too defined, bit this page is getting VERY close to the overall effect I'm looking for.


Here we go!


the question now, of course is "can i repeat that?"

HUMANNNNNSSSS

HUMANNNSSSS. okay.

have been practicing them. I have to say, tessa Stone's cartoony style is, like, perfect, because it leaves almost no confusion as to the appropriate shape of a character's face.
. . . and Sarah Ellerton provides more of a challenge because she uses more realistic face shapes >>

Claudandus is actually {. . .} from Hanna is not a Boys Name. . .
Jonas Faulker is from The Phoenix Requiem. . . and
Hanna is also from HiNaBN
and the girls were attempts at people from HiNaBN and Phoenix Requiem, respectively (failures)- but... yeah.
and the bottom right is kinda sorta supposed to be anya from phoenix requiem


and here's.. conrad from HiNaBN.... a sketch that was supposed to be another character form the same.. some sketches of someone who is supposed to be Petria from Phoenix requiem (fauilures, the lot of them) and then a decent-ish sketch of Robyn, also from phoenix...
a little off, but at least you can tell it's him. sort of.


. . . and this is Dagda from My project Final Absolution.
(i drew his head too big)


and this is redford.
whose head is also too big.
but it's the first time i've drawn either of their heads on model in a long time, so tiny bodies is no big deal atm >>


and here's stephen! from Ports custodis.
this is sort of like the first time i've drawn him on model since i lost some sketches of him over a year ago.
so i'm kind of thrilled.
although his hair is a little too big.


more stephen.
with sort of a longer face/bigger head than i'd intended.

whoooooooooooo it's orange, man

first up, i totally just finished this like.
three days ago.

my half of a trade with This Gal (who is awesome, btw)


next most important is that i am in fact still working on the convention picture for RF 2010, despite the fact that i cannot attend.

and thirdly, here is some commission process for Yaegashi. . . who despite being broke himself sent 12 dollars when i was only asking for five.

now. . . i have this mostly done in Colors for the DS, but i kept forgetting to transfer it to the computer so i gave up and resketched it and scanned it in.

.. the BG isn't supposed to be a gradient, but i was having issues with colors and getting photoshop to work right so this'll be it until i get the character etched in the rest of the way~

look what i've been doing!

Okay, number one here is Sydney Moore, from Final Absolution.
I like. . . everything about this picture above the waist.
I don't know what the hell happened, but i guess i can't draw legs in tight jeans to save my life....
hopefully i can fix it when i go to ink it, because it's one of my breakthrough pictures-
I had a severe "OH I CAN DRAW HUMANS THAT WAY" moment.
it was awesome.



















and then this one is Jaqlyn Ross, also from Final Absolution, looking particularly long-torsoed.



















and this is rohny, my part of a trade, looking extremely adorable, if mostly two dimensional

I kind of feel like a bum :/

But i'm working, damnit T_T and moving.
and going to college D:

No visuals to give you right now, but I'm inking this, and getting ready to scan these, and have the lineart done for a trade with this person, and am working on a whole bunch of commissions. (okay, six)

also i am doing stuff for Final Absolution still, including .. a sketch of Sydney, (which is done and needs to be scanned and then inked) and one of Jaqlyn... which is slightly less done but maybe still ready to scan. and then i also need to finish filling out character profile forms and sketches for a few other primary characters.
as well as maybe working on the first chapter again.

D:

i just got my primary arting computer up and running after moving it six houses down and across the street, so hopefully something should come out of me. . . eventually.

in the meantime, i'm uploading pictures from the wales trip to post on my other blog.

In no Particular Order...

Well, it's been awhile, so ... here's some webcam pics of the stuff i've been working on.

1-2: Dani Schroeder from Final Absolution



3-6 are some style sketches for The River.... 3 is Big Sister, 4 is Little Sister, 5 is just a sketch, and 6 is a doodle of the first picture that will be in the book.





7 is ... Gwen's crazy aunt, Parks Windsley. (her father's twin sister)


8 is Aaron, from Porta custodis


9 is Stephen, also from Porta Custodis (the main character, no less!) looking strangely sexy in his late twenties somewhere.


10 is.. based on yesterday


11 is just part of a sketch i'm working on that'll hopefully be finished someday, telling about a joke that our trip has sparked :3


12 is Krizzle looking strangely as though he belongs in a Kingdom hearts game...


13 is a Serious looking Serious dragon.


14 is..... from the left, clockwise- A doodle from Kriz ( =D ) and then.. up top is Allan, my new murrsona. he is a white wolf with a blue headband, and his name, in welsh, means "Out" =D and then on the right there is just another style doodle for The river.
