This looks like fun, I needed some practie anyway :D

this took me around 20 min, I just made some random pose and ended up with this.
The legs look a bit weard, but I am happy with the face since it's what normaly gives me trouble.
 
Bleh, I've been avoiding GAF for a while because of the Gamergate stuff was filling me with a sense of stupid. I hadn't been drawing a lot either! :C
But then I realized I has commissions to finish too.. Weh.. I am not cut out for the freelance life.

So after a few weeks of absence, all I really have to show:

Personal works!

Commissions!

What is a consistent style I don't know lol.
 
First one is a subway drawing I did two weeks ago that I finally inked about an hour ago and erased the pencil layer.


Second one is a woman I drew in public several minutes ago. She left so I added in a bunch of other stuff to practice my perspective drawing. Took me about 30-40 mins in total. Number 05 Micron pen for both.

Hey, nice work!
 
Working on an animated film, and I'm tossing around a few ideas using a black background and colourful sets & characters. Also playing with logo design.

Just did this-took about 45 mins. It's a re-work/re-imagining of the previous piece I did that's at the top of the page. That one really didn't look all too much like a desert so I wanted to get a better sense of that.

I've also started messing around with a bit of a looser style and this is the result of those experiments. Time to move on to a new topic!

 
already hate this

I think you should finish it. Looks like it could turn out awesome.

I did actually finish something the other day. I've moved houses and have had a wisdom tooth giving me pain like you wouldn't believe. I didn't think it was actually possible to be angry at my own face; I've not really been able to work properly. It's been pulled out now though so I can function normally again.

Not sure how much time I've spent on it but im sure I could have spent another bajillion hours on it but no.
 
I've now had both wisdom teeth removed. I feel so incomplete.

Here is a sketch of a flirtatious magician girl. This was so akward and difficult to draw.

Was pretty much 100% out of my element but it was a good challenge all the same. If I were to do it again there would definitely be things I'd do differently.

And there's other guy I was debating posting but here he is anyway :

I think the addition of lady in undies balances out the nipple rings. Also, timed neither of them, but both took entirely too long; that much I know. Both commissions.

Out of your element because it's a woman? Or something else? XD
Maybe I should focus on making you draw yaoi for me. Haha~

I have been too busy to really relax and draw -- plus videogames coming out -- so this was my most recent doodle:

*he means in comparison to how toned and trim she was before
My characters have very grown up issues lol.

Hopefully I have more drawing time in the next few days!
 
LOL this is the only thing I made today..

A RECREATED IMAGE FROM MY EARLY HIGHSCHOOL DAYS! It looked VERY SIMILAR to this!
The story goes, I had free time and made an image similar to this in MS Paint and set it as a desktop backrgound. This is an evil character being a jerk to some cartoon dog based on my neopets annoyance at the time. I left it as the desktop wallpaper and forgot about it.

Fast forward a few days later, everyone is informed that no one is allowed to change desktop backgrounds on any lab computers because a teacher saw some ATROCIOUS IMAGE DEPICTING ANIMAL CRUELTY THAT NEARLY BROUGHT HER TO TEARS.

I never fessed up to it at the time because it seemed ridic (even if animal cruelty isn't cool, but yeah, I was kind of caught off guard by the response to the image), so this image is now forever burned into my brain with shame neurons.

I also found these other old images from 2009 which I still think are great!
Kirby, Prax (me!), and Starman Super with Metools. They were meant to be writer/staff profiles for a website, but everyone got too busy in the end. >__>

Color testing for my graphic novel!

You're too good, servbot.

I'm developing art for a mega game right now. I'd love to share my designs, but I have no internet access right now. So another day.

aw thanks man! you should def post your stuff! wish i were working on games D:
 
How do you get that texture? I want to try to even doodle in this type of style.

Any rough brush is fine, doesn't really matter. Here's a good pack to start with: http://zedig.deviantart.com/art/A-lot-of-people-have-been-asking-for-my-brushpack-445828615

The real key is to use subtle shifts in hue and value. Never just leave flat color (unless you have a very specific reason for doing so).

Examples:

1877-04+Les+deux+soeurs+%2528detail+2%2529+%257E+William-Adolphe+Bouguereau+1825-1905.JPG

Even if you look at only the flat portion of skin, there is a ton of subtle color shifts going on there that give the painting its vibrancy.
 
Weren't you working on a game with some folks from the indie dev thread a while back?

Yeah, our programmer got too busy though. I would do it myself, but it's too much of a time investment to learn that when I already have so much drawing practice I need to do. Maybe someone else will work out for that project, haven't given up on it yet.

Ah, I see. Out of curiosity, do you do sprites and animations and the like? Backgrounds? Just checking, I might need an artist in the future so... :)
 
Looking to upgrade to a medium intuos. Coming from a small bamboo and it's on fritz.

Looking like around 300 bucks through amazon but some of the proces on ebay are really low. It would be my first time buying through ebay. Should i just buy through amazon since it has the one day shipping thing?
