I can never think of good title, why do I even try.

So, remember that WIP from the end of the last post? I wound up scrapping it fairly last minute to its due date and sketched out new poses for the characters. The original WIP was purely digital, this one started out with a pencil sketch. I really need to work on my control with a tablet, I think that's my biggest issue with working purely digital. Actually, I need to work on my control with a lot of things. I think it's part of why my original pencil sketches always look better than everything else. *adds to New Year's resolutions*
Decided to do some birthday art for a good friend of mine. The first was a failed attempt, wound up going with the second after I got fed up trying to fix the first. Both are pure digital, so starting pencil sketch on either. Need to do more thumbnailing and come up with more dynamic poses... Both were practice with cool colored lightning. Second could use more work with reflected light, though.






This was a gift I made for my dad. Decided to break out the sculpey I had laying around. Something fairly simple, an insence burner. I wonder if I made more of these if I could try selling them on Etsy or something. Hmmmm! (and that's a stick of Nag Champa, one of my favorite scents <3) style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI9Zl8qTod8x_qv1Oy_mvufLGOJkBEhXiymwEDjY6_g4fhPvH96dNbwHgXuCSI_qQwTVkRytCZurhad46u-q85UOCz44LKOrG30nnLgb2VpeVrXpKJNc9saUOZ5wPMaMgJ4Cp4iH7KSCD6/s320/PICT0117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289408993307643986" border="0">
Working on another birthday gift for a different friend. He likes mech stuff, so I did some thumbnailing for it. I liked these 2 the best, went with the second. A bit more fun to be had with it. Still should get in the habit of more thumbnailing. Fo' sho'


WIP for it. Wound up just blowing up the thumb to a larger size, and "inking" and fixing it. I'm debating using a more cell shaded approach to the color? Make it look more like an anime screen shot or something.
Break is almost over *sob* Don't feel I was quite as productive as I should have been... ah well.
