Tats not Tatas!

Some stuff and a wip. I'm posting large versions of my stuff here so you can see all my dirty mistakes.

Back to Business!!

OK, I stop and start with things way too much. Getting back into 3D. Here are some play arounds I've done over the last few weeks. Photoshop/Sai helps a lot when planning.

It seems to be helping me with my paintings for now at least. In that I'm getting better at volume and anatomy. Hopefully by the time I get ok at this 3D prints will be cheaper. Can't wait to do some vinyl figures, I love those damn those things. I guess I can use it for game design and animation until that day :)

Kinda Sketchy

Sai Junk

I might be trying to do too much in Sai. Looks like I have to bite the bullet and dip into Painter again. I hope the interface has changed since Painter X. Never liked it that much and boy was it unstable.

You know your a prude...

.....when you scribble speedy bras and boxers to cover up naughty bits :/

A million ideas....

....and no speedy way to paint them.

Hope everyone is having a fun Christmas or Holiday!!

Mirror

Been away for a bit haven't I. Work, work, work.

Let's Ref

60 minute sketch from a screencap. I made a few mistakes made in the set up, one being the canvas ratio. Next time I'll make sure its the same as the capture.
Not too happy with this one... long neck, screwy nose, under saturated background. I'll try a few more of these though.


And one 90 min sketch I forgot to post. Ref'd from some fashion magazine.

Speed paints

It seems that if I work on anything for more than 2 hours I get fed up and even start disliking it. Gotta learn to be patient somehow. Anyway, here's some 90min sketches.

Might finish this gal later, placeholder hair just looks awful.


Invincible, refed from a googled 3D sculpt of him.


The joker's in that suit.

Updating

Stay a Head

Lots of deadlines and office work to do :(...no time to chat. Here's some junk for you though.

Bad Habits?

Don't you hate it when you notice odd things about your work. I could say this is just my style but since I didn't notice it before now, I'd say it's a bad habit :/

One bent leg, one straight leg:


I also realised I can't do those painterly radial renders. You know, the kind of ones that are sharp at the focus points and blur into a lovely undefined mess at the edges. It just looks plain unfinished when I try, drawing attention to the unworked parts. It may come from working the details too soon and too tightly or perhaps a more painterly brush is needed. I've seen artists use the blur tool but that's cheating right? lol

(The red is where is shouldn't be focusing)

Anyway, these things don't bother me too much but I thought I'd share none the less.

First Post Of The Year

Resolution. Stay positive even when negative.

Emotions Run High

And now my adorable wireless mouse is broken! Wow lol. I'm not even upset about it, to be honest I wasn't even that bothered when my TV blew. As long as I got music to listen to and a pen to draw with I'm not gonna let myself get down. Besides, the Wacom I have has been yearning to be customized for navigation.


This one's a few months old. I felt this way earlier this year. Life can gut punch you sometimes.


On a brighter note....look, a girlie!

Lunch time!

Some lunchtime doodles!




My TV/Monitor just broke so forgive my more than sporadic nature. I'm gonna try fixing it myself. *opens toolbox* Wish me luck.

Zombine

Two hours into working on this I started to get weirded out on how…you know, weird it looked. I realised after I did a quick paint over that I’m just not used to seeing people or women in this case without eyelashes, pupils and hair. I realised also that rendering realistic people is still an infinitely boring choir. I’m keen to start on some stylised and Toon stuff soon, some stuff that would look cool as vinyl figures and the sort. Gosh, the possibilities. If only I had more hours in my day.

Speaking of hours of the day, I’ve been spending lunchtimes reading The Walking Dead. Wow, I love it!

Flank Junk

Some play arounds with Flank, a character from a comic book sample I did a while back *cringes*. I wanted to do a mock video game version of him a while back too but never got around to it.
