Update! Update! Update!

Well, to celebrate the completion of another page (page 3 of 6...7?...-ish?) i've decided to post a bit of a teaser of what I've been working on.

WIP Update

With my contracted teaching year finally drawing to a close I will officially be unemployed (scary huh?), however that also means that I will be officially able to devote, probably another %70 of my time to working solely on art. To celebrate this momentous event, I've undertaken a personal project to crank out a 6(ish) page comic...and to show how serious I am...here's a teaser of the first/cover page.

Broken Dreams...errr I mean Wacom Pens =(

So...I dropped my Wacom tablet pen yesterday whilst packing up from my daily grind (known as work) and I am guessing that is what caused the poor thing to stop working. So, as of right now I am currently without a way to digitally input creations onto my computer. Looking into alternatives...(replacement pen? upgrade to an Intuos?) Since I cannot finish anything I've been working on...i'll post some wip stuff instead.

Also, I finally got around to changing my banner....a little embarrassing having my banner and the URL be different ^^;

444

Well then...according to blogger stats i've had exactly 444 views to my art blog since I started it. That is either disappointing or...a sign of the coming apocalypse. Well regardless, since I haven't posted any of my recent projects...I shall post them now.

I've been keeping myself quite busy with these two projects whilst struggling in trying to come up with a coherent story to tie things in my head together.

First up we have an action pose of what I hope to be a (main?) character Zoe, smacking the head of a hapless Zomboid with her trusty cricket bat. Attempted some new things with this piece, new shading technique, which in retrospect, was a complete waste of time. Also tried using multiple textures on the various bits of this as well.

Next we have my most recently finished project, a piece of fan art of Yoda, the Jedi Master doing a little maintenance on his lightsaber. This was a something that went from a minor thing to a project of passion as it developed. I went a bit overboard with the details I think. Also, this was my first time trying to apply reflections to any surfaces (overall i'm happy with them...but they're definitely something I need to plan ahead for in the future).

Happy Halloween

No Cute Things Allowed!

Here's something that I put together with the "masked Death" character that I posted last time. Attempted to go for something a little bit more stylized than what I've been cranking out lately. Overall, quite happy with it.

As per usual, line work was all done in Flash, and the coloring and texturizing was done in Photoshop.

Random Death Mask!

So...i've got some projects that I should be working on...but instead I decided to draw this guy.

Originally started as a sketch that I did in a friend's notebook...I'm happy with it, especially considering how quickly I was able to finish it.
