Flipside chapter update

It continues...now with her jeans, shirt, arm socks and skin colored. Probably going to add some blue tones to it later though so she interacts w/ the background a bit.

New flipside chapter

Sneak peak at the new chapter of flipside I'm coloring. Going a lil' more american comic airbrushy style for this one.

Flipside cover colorin'

Preview of the cover I'm coloring for Flipside

Preview panel

Preview of the comic short I just finished. Hoping to have it all done on Monday. Maybe.

Moghedian by the window colored?

So its colored, but I'm not sure if I like it like this or not. Gonna ask for some critiques.

Robot on Violin

The process begins again! To make these faster I've been sketching in photoshop, then printing and lightboxing over to ink it (as my regular inks are more precise/controlled than my digi inks). Basically, this allows me to resize, skew, flip, rearrange, rotate, etc everything so that I save my poor erasers. And if I like a bit, and its the wrong size, its no biggie cuz I can just use the transform tool to get it the size it needs to be! ^^

Punkbot Colors

...and, it's done.

Punkbot Inks

Inks.

Punkbot waiting for the show

So here's the basic sketch continuing my "Emotional Technology" series (yes, I totally ripped that off of BT) that started with this illustration. Title kinda says it all methinks.

Moghedian by the window2

So I've been having lots of fun working through this painting. Figure is complete, will work on background later. I know I should've really done background first, figure later, buutttt.....well, I like drawing people. Also added some detail shots for your viewing pleasure!

Moghedian by the window...PREVIEW MODE!

Moghedian by the window

Here's a sketch I did earlier that I really like. Will probably develop further.

Moghedian 2

More messing around w/ the same style. Think I kinda like this one, though like the other one I have to wait to get on the desktop to see if the colors, intensity, and hues are correct. It really is impossible to calibrate the laptop's monitor correctly *sigh*

Moghedian color

So I was feeling a little better today, and decided to bust out the laptop and try coloring a little. The drawing's kinda wonky, but there's some good painterly bits--at least better than the crap I've posted so far. Only thing is that I'm not entirely sure how the colors look, since there's no way to properly calibrate the laptop's monitor. Anyways, enjoy Moghedian mark 2.

Telemasca 3

Third experiment. Going back to loosey-goosey style. Getting the hang of this stuff...sorta.

Telemasca 2

Another quick painting of Telemasca. This time I started w/ flats n' airbrushes before adding painty brushstrokes. Still piddling around with makin' a style.

Telemasca

This is Telemasca, my new Dragon Age character. Still attempting to create a digital painting style, and this is just one of the ones that doesn't look completely awful. Its super-rough, but I kinda dig it like that.

Moghedian

Moghedian, my first character from Dragon Age Origins. Its a super-quick study, and for whatever reason I can't access the bioware screencaps, so I had to make to with the small portrait image I had, which really sucked. But yeah, I went with doe-eyes and pouty lips, which made her look kind of sad and vulnerable most of the time--an effect I really liked. BUT, alas, during the "love" scene with Alistair she just kinda looked depressed, more so than happy. Whoops. I also gave her the second skin condition thing (on the slider that lets you change how old your character looks) because I wanted her to kinda look like she doesn't get a lot of sleep--up studying magic or whatever. I also went with the braided bun style because she's got kind of a no-nonsense personality, and having her hair down would get in the way. And the tattoos...well, they just looked cool. Made bluish to go along with the old druidic-style tats. Hopefully I'll be able to do more in detail studies of her once I can figure out how to view the screencaps on my online profile =)

Ok, so I decided to practice caricatures today, since I usually fail at capturing likeness. Some of them came out better than others....but I think I did a good job overall. Tried to limit it to no more than 10 minutes per.

From top left to right: Tim Gunn, Me, Neil Patrick Harris (that looks nothing like him, haha), Kevin Smith, Lady Gaga, Penn Jillette (prolly the best one) and Sarah Silverman

Lemme know what ya'll think! XD

Lady Gaga

So I was totally inspired by the Lady Gaga music video "bad romance". I'm totally obsessed with fashion, especially the crazy avant guarde looks that people come up with, so I decided to do an illustration of Lady Gaga in that crazy chandalier dress she wears as sort of an art excercise. While there's billions of things wrong with her face/body, I really dig the way that her outfit/hat-thingie are coming out, so I'm thinking I'll finish it after all. Its always good to practice these things, right? =)
