Boma WIP update 2 (Background)

2010-03-02T12:09:00.000-05:00

I just wanted to quickly show the original drawings which will be turned into the background for the Boma illustration.

Here's the top layer:

Boma WIP update

2010-02-26T14:30:00.000-05:00

Bleh, not much to see here, I just laid in the color base. Now I've gotta draw some back ground stuff so I can scan it in and start coloring that. The challenge here is to try and do everything traditional, then scanned in and colored/positioned/edited in Photoshop. Though I might break away from that in the end and stick in some textures from the internet.

Trampolina Comic

More old stuff. I want to draw a new short comic this week to compare with this.

Crack Kills!

Took the sketch from my second blog post and colored it in photoshop.

Boma Fanart - WIP

2010-01-08T13:15:00.000-05:00

I inked this in my sketchbook with Faber Castell PITT Brush tip pens, and I want to color it in Photoshop, and try out some new things. Of course, I realized that it's scanned at 200 dpi so I need to rescan it today and clean it up again >_< oh well. It's Boma with his real face from Heat Guy J.

Speed Painting - WIP

2010-01-04T13:31:00.001-05:00

My first speed painting in ArtRage (not the full version--yet!). It's another Van fanart, just because I like the character design--hey, wearing a fur skirt thing over shorts is cool! There are things I like about it, like the colors and shapes, but I feel like there's a lot that could be better, so I plan on working back over this soon. Also I find it strange that his face reminds me a lot of my younger brother. I think it's mostly the nose though, haha! I did this in about 3 hours. I'll be doing plenty of them soon, gives me some great practice during this last week of break, and it's a lot of fun!

This post is mainly of school work, some very recent, some from last semester.

Some random peoples, and some fanart peoples, Van and Hitomi at the bottom and Miguel with the sparklies (Escaflowne)

Nishi (Mindgame), Dilandau middle left (Escaflowne), the Bear of Disapproval, and a snoot.

Van (Escaflowne) with a disfigured hand, a friendly troll dude

The friendly troll returns, with some other characters I used in a coloring book page for Illustration class. Everyone makes at least one page, and we sell the coloring book, the profits go towards illustration scholarships.

Pug and the Blouse (Pug Davis by Rebecca Sugar, check it out!) and Dilandau (escaflowne)

I'm thinking about making a comic about feral people, but I'm still coming up with characters and what's gonna happen. Here's the first character, basically just a feral kid. He's good at throwing rocks at animals for food.

A friend at school kept saying this to us (yes in the context of buttcrack)

colored pencilzzzz omg color blending, yummy! Also a girl with some freaky plant arm

This was totally inspired by a friend's new haircut, and fake bad ass attitude. She's getting a kitty. Haha, the decapitated head was by her request. I want to color this soon in photoshop. The character is fictional.

Drawing of another friend from printmaking (this is what she really looks like). She mentioned once that people comment about her having doe eyes. "Shut up" and "SHUT." are just a few of her catchphrases.

Here's a much better scan. All I've edited so far in photoshop are the levels (brightened the whites). Apparently my scanner at home just sucks (these were all scanned at school) which figures because it's like, 8 years old O_O

mmm fresh new sketch blog

2009-11-18T23:26:00.000-05:00

Hey, first entry. So this is gonna be a sketch dump/illustration dealio for me, maybe a journal as well.

Here's my first image, something I drew in my sketchbook, practicing color layering with colored pencils (simple 12 pack). It's San and her wolf siblings from Princess Mononoke. I'm not really pleased with it, it looked so much better in my sketchbook. Also the face is kinda weird to me, though my teacher said I should submit it to the Society of Illustrators when it's finished *w*. I'd like to edit it in Photoshop soon, but I just reformatted my lappy and need to reinstall first. So here's the unedited version. It looks much better in full view. Enjoy!
