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? =)

WoW characters

These're my World of Warcraft characters--Telemasca (the blue Draenai) and Landslayer (the pink blood elf). Fiddling around with a different style, drawn nude cuz I didn't feel like drawin' clothes.

Crest and finished smodart

So first off, the finished smodart can be checked out over here. If, for whatever crazy reason you should want said art as a wallpaper, you may find a higher res version over here.

Now then, the next project I've been working on is a commission I've had for a great while of a friend's family crest. He's of Chinese ancestry (hence the chinese dragon), and super into heraldry (as the cresting is called), so here it is:



It's 18x22, and was inked traditionally on hot press watercolor paper (pretty much the largest, inkable paper I have). I'm pretty happy with how it looks, and once he approves the inks then I'll start coloring it, probably in painter since he says he wants it to look oil painterly.

Smodart

So Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier of the Smodcast are having this art show at this gallery in LA and there's a contest for fans of the Smod to do an "art of smodcast". Here's the entry I'm working on:

It's kind of a smattering of all things smodcast, and done digitally because I was working my way through the archives while I was brainstorming ideas, and doing it in Photoshop seemed the best thing to do so I could cut/paste thumbnails, move 'em around, resize, etc. The things I've "Inked" so far are Schekkie, the Nazi-engineered weiner dog, the newspaper that's going to have a headline reading "Bryan Johnson: Crazed Shit-Eater", Scott Mosier as "The Scarlet Shrieker", the Harry Potter "Forgeticus" charm, and Kevin Smith and the parasite that takes over his cock and demands blood. Yep, lots of interesting things talked about in smodcast =D
