"I'm bringin' the sexy librarian look back."

And this is what I have at the end of Day 2. Line art probably still has some areas that need cleaning up but at the moment I'm happy with it as it is. Base tones down, shading now. As you can see, I'm trying out a different shading style for the hair. We'll see how that goes...I may just end up redoing the hair. :/ I'm going to try to emulate the shading style of this pixel artist. I'm not entirely sure that my attempt will be very successful but we shall see...

But yeah, liking it so far but it's still a very long way from completion.

Edit as of 15.04.10: OH SHIT! it's been 3 months and I finished this pic a while ago.
You can see the finished product here.

"Where's Phylly?" "Spread on my toast"

So, I'm finally, finally making a start on the rest of the giftart I owe people. This is a sketch of some art owed to Phyllis and is loosely based off of a facebook photo of hers. In the original photo her hair is its natural, dark, brunette colour. In my drawing it won't be.

I also might be doing another drawing of her and combining that with her love for A Very potter Musical, so look out for sketches of that (many months from now *Brick'd*).

Time to sleep~

Smiley Face 8D

And here's the line art of the sketch from the last post. I'll probably mess with it some more as I don't like the proportions of the head/face and feet...
Yay, Dinah! 8D

Lying Figure

Oh hey! Another update! In the same month as the last update! 8D
Little W.I.P for ya. I really like the legs, for some reason...Can you guess who it's going to be?
Also, YAY somewhat subtle Silent Hill reference in entry title. 8D

I'm not dead yet!

Just to prove that I'm not dead yet, here is a little W.I.P Sketch. And now you can see how utterly chaotic my sketching style is. Above is eight layers of rough sketching and the cleaned up line art on a separate layer. This is a VERY VERY late (DX) Christmas Present Picture I'm drawing for Timatae. It features some characters that are very close to her heart...

Anyways! I've got the Line Art down now. On to colouring! 8D

Edit as of 07.01.10: Here's what the final product looks like.

Sketch Saturday

So this was the first sketch I did for a possible second entry for a Twisted Fairytales contest on DA. The Fairytale I chose to warp for my second entry was Snow White. I wanted to make her a vampire with the seven dwarves as her 'familiars'. Then I browsed around DA for ref images and got ideas for a more imaginative composition and came up with a second sketch.
Whilst I do like the above, second sketch I don't think I'm going to take it any further. Well, not right now at least. The more I try to do to it, the more frustrated I get with it. Looks like I won't be making another entry for that contest. :/ Which sucks because I don't believe my first entry to be particularly strong, either; I would've liked to have made another image for the contest.

I think I'm gonna go draw something else now. These sketches are just pissing me off. :/ But I do like the bow I gave Snow White. XD These sketches have also highlighted the weaknesses in my style and just how much I can't draw. : [ So now I'm having an 'I-can't-draw-day' and feeling kinda shitty about it. *Sigh*

My first entry for the contest can be found here.
Edit as of 17.10.09: Here's what the finished product ended up looking like. WARNING! Tits! 8D

"I'm blue, Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die..."

Just a little something I've been working on the past week or so. College is proving to be exhausting so this is all I've really done in the past while. :[

I quite like it but it could be better. I'm revising Dinah's character design and how I draw her. I'm still not sure how to draw her eyes. I want them to be big to show her innocence and I want them to 'dip down' at the sides to show how sad she is but it's really not working.

Not been feeling so great about my art recently. At this rate 'Black & White', the short comic I'm drawing, may just go on hiatus. DX I just want to finish it.

Three versions because I was just messing around with the layer's visibility. I'll only upload the coloured version to deviantart. Which version do you like?
