A few months of art

My poor, neglected blog.  Here's an art dump!

And of course some caricatures and sketches from watching the Olympics.

February Finale!

I'll update with some understandable text when I'm not about to pass out on my keyboard...

February 27th and 28th

Forgive me for not posting last night.  I happened to smash my face with the freezer door of our new fridge yesterday and I wasn't exactly in the mood to update with anything, save for where it counted on the forums.  I actually finished out the day with a bit of animation for my entry.



You'll notice, too, I'm calling it quits on my achievements.  I'm rounding out the month burnt out so rather than completely throw my hat in, I'm just posting today and tomorrow whatever I happen to draw.

So for today...

February 26th

This is mostly my fault.  Was such a bum all day today and only rushed to get a sketch done.  Of course once I finally got around to drawing it actually got me in the mood.  Just didn't really know what to put to the daily draw though, but Miyazaki's films have been coming to mind and that is a very welcome inspiration.  Thinking I might color this as a special piece for tomorrow's entry.

Ponyo!

Tools: Photoshop.

February 25th

Tonight's entry is a rushed speed paint; going for something conceptual/different from Princess Mononoke, seeing as how that film has been a bit absent from my life as of late and I really should go back and watch it again!

Not gonna lie - I don't even want to make any sort of new drawing tonight, so here's some note sketches I made while in a training session at work today.

Don't look at me like that.  They say doodling while taking notes helps you retain information!

Just some characters of mine.  Haven't drawn them in a while.

February 23rd

I'm so tired right now.

February 23rd pre-post...

Weeelllll I'm calling it quits on this one.  Was killing me that I didn't finish it sooner so got Cole out of the way before I start farther in on anything else.

Bumped the colors around a bit for a wider palette range, and polished up detail.  One of my favorites I've done in quite a while.

February 22nd

So I've fallen way behind on my challenges.  Felt like I ran out of momentum and inspiration...I had plenty ideas which I've already executed, but some of my themes I wanted to tackle I didn't give much though behind and what I should draw for them.  Most ideas left over now I also seem to not have the energy for, being so busy at work especially this week (which is generally when I like to start most of the drawings and not late at night like right now).

Just a dapper rabbit character for tonight.

February 21st

Ungh sorry, another quick WIP throw up for tonight's daily draw.  Almost didn't make my deadline.  Shame loomed so near!  This is actually just a closeup of the full piece but was the most worked on area.  Went for a different source than video games tonight.

Case, Neuromancer.

February 20th

Haven't much of a clue what to draw tonight so here's a baby Ratchet.
