Woo time for another update (yea yea for trying to do this right and once a week)! This week has been good to me it seems. *rolls happily* Can't say im not excited to finally get some things going. yay for stirrings of creative juices. Now if only i could get my rear into an art class that would be wonderful.

Couple of things to show this week. Most of them only lineworks and a few sketches. Haven't really gotten to colouring anything this week since i just ordered about 30+ more markers this week to replace old ones and expand on my current set. I hope to be able to make my stuff smooth into marker mastery better. We'll see how that works after a lot more practice.


First off is the Bijou piece i have been working on for ages. I finally finished up on her hair and decided to ink the thing for better or worse. I'm not really too thrilled with the lines but i'll remedy that later after i colour it. For now they seem too faded for my liking. I may have to look into getting a different type of inking pen that doesn't lift so much when i'm trying to clean out my sketches from underneath them. I can not wait to tackle this drawing with markers though.


I know i know - I haven't actually drawn anything remotely male in a long long time. Well im trying to remedy that by getting some practice in on my OC's. Verdigris will be the first one i Tackle to try and get things back to rights. I'm really rather pleased on how he turned out so far. I think for once i managed to make him look manly? For once? I hope? I dunno i think he looks manlier then i have ever managed to portray thus far. But woo again for another lineart.


Heh - this one was more of something to be goofy. It's my D&D char design in the works. I dunno what i think about it yet. I was trying to do a mohawk that's made up of feathers but couldn't really find a way to portray that really well (though suddenly i realize i could have used Indian head dresses as ref for help with that - seriously i'm such an idiot some times). Anyways I'm playing with the colours on this, and it is not a set design as of yet. but we'll see what becomes of it.


Wooba i finally coloured this one! YAY! though she is still not finished because i ran out of the right colour yellows for her wing - that's why i ordered more markers, here's hoping they get here on Tuesday. I am really really proud of this one, I think i even like the colours more then the last A'iel piece i coloured. Something about it just makes me so damn happy looking at it. YAY for trying another picture with nips in it *snort*. This could become a trend >.>;

Hah i haven't updated this thing in ages! again >.>; seriously i need to get into the habit of updating this at least once a week. I think I'm actually going to put that on my agenda to do each week >.<;; that way at least i will have to force myself to get this done! ah well, no sense whining over spilled milk.

Alright a few things have changed since i last posted. I moved to a new state and now abide in South Carolina. Its really really pretty here and i love my new house but i haven't yet found all my art supplies from the move or a place to buy replacement stuff as of yet. First things first, im going to have to put up all the sketches i did in the last few weeks >.>; this may be a bit longer then expected.

First comes the two venetian masks I've been working on for some time. neither of them are completed as of yet, but i was very pleased to have at least put on the paint, sealant, and the trim around the edges. even if they aren't both completely done to my satisfaction, they look significantly better then the blank white things they were before. I'm hoping to get feathers on the center top of the smaller ones to have a sort of fluffy center thing, and the second i was toying with more red ropes and gold filigree >.>; we'll see how that turns out.




I've added more to my Bijou picture, still not done either, but i think its progressing nicely for a first attempt at something like that. I'm really happy with it still, hopefully that stays for a while. Not quite sure what to do with it after i get all the pencils down. i may copy it on to another paper and do some nice clean lines with it and colour it all with marker and colouring pencil. Or i may try braving it with watercolour . . . still deciding.


I have a second (unfinished) Bijou picture i had started working on not long after the aforementioned one. This one is actually closer to completion (at least in regards to the lines). I face the same dilemma with this as the other in how im going to colour it. I may just do both in both medias just to see how it turns out. Would be good practice if nothing else. I was trying to stay in keeping with Alphonse Mucha's elaborate hair swirlies and toplessness.


This one is actually a very long overdue drawing that i had meant to scan months ago. Its a little sketch of my character Kiev. I don't think i have the legs to the way i want them as of yet, its a lot harder to settle on a design then i thought it would be. My best bet would probably to go to a pet store and stare at some lizards for a while, but i'm much too lazy (and i have to fight the urge to buy a kitten every time i go to a pet store).


Last two are A'iel drawings that i did while i was bored in my new house waiting for my stuff to get here. No internet, books, or anything makes for prime time to doodle the time away. Nothing makes the boredom go away quicker then actually DOING something in the time then bemoaning the loss of something to do and actually doing nothing. Heh i actually completely and totally geeked out yesterday when i found out the image on the bottom (coloured one) could be put on a pair of custom made slip on shoes. You have no idea how much the idea of my own drawing on my feet tickles me. Not quite as cool as drawing it on their myself, but very very close.
