Heir Transparent

Some quick sketches I did as warm ups today of one of the characters from the webcomic Homestuck.
Also have one of those tumblr thingies now! For those of you that prefer such things, it's over here: http://shrimpgirl.tumblr.com/

Some RO stuff

Posted these to the LJ RO fanart community, so I figured it was a good time to update this place with them as well!

A messy WIP of a friend's High Wizard as a Warlock. Was playing with my own version of character colors!




My Lord Knight as a Rune Knight. Was trying to make my own version of the sprite!



A gift for a guildmate of his Champ and Scholar!



Something for a friend of his High Priest inspired by his kettle headgear wearing ways!

Sketches and sketches

Just some sketches I decided to scan up from this last quarter. Not much to say, just misc creatures, some sketches for my Mythology final, and some sketches having to do with the Praesidium remake.

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!

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.

Final projects~

Today was my last day of class of my first quarter, so I decided I'd post a couple of my final projects~
Finished version of my perspective drawing. Scan is kinda light, and I could have gone darker in some of the shadows... but overall it came out well! Got an A :DA couple self portraits I did for my life drawing class. The one on the left was the one that was supposed to just a basic self portrait. Most people used photo referances... I just used a mirror on my desk +_+;
The one on the right was meant to represent something about ourselves. Mine is about how I never wanted to be the princess or the damsel in distress. I wanted to be the knight +_+! I mean, come on! They got to have armor, swords, capes... much more fun than a frilly dress!



Oh, and I figure I'll post this sketch I did for someone in one of my classes. He saw my DA page and asked if I would take a commission of his gaia avi:
Annnnnd that's it for now. 3 week vacation~ Hoping to get some things done, so wish me luck!

Sorry for lack of updates! I'll continue the old art posts when I have the time (desire) to continue going through my old sketchbooks and scanning. In the meantime, have some new stuff!

A quick 8 min doodle of Ginko from Mushishi. Love that anime ;_; <3 Ginko!


The 2 point perspective assignment for my drawing and perspective class. Half finished as you can see. Unofficially titled the Alchemist's Study ;D


A quick blue doodle I did of some random sci-fi dude with some sci-fi gun... yeah I dunno. Done while testing out the free version of art rage. :<

Anyway..... *wooooooooooosh*

First Post!

So... I'm thinking perhaps I'll use this place as a sketch/art blog...! One of my friends keeps telling me I should, so I guess I'll use this space to post sketches, WIP, and other misc things I might not post on DA.

With that said heres a few of my latest things:

This was an assignment for my drawing and perspective class. The teacher said it looked like I crossed Mayan and Minoan influences into it. I wound up fixing some the shadows and details after I scanned it, but I don't feel like scanning again. :(

A collage of some of my life drawing excercises

Feeeeesh rideeerrrrr! I think the fish game got to me D: (Play our fish game!)
And last item for this post, just finished this a bit ago. Trying out a new coloring technique. Need more practice with it! :D
