Painting

New painting I'm working on ... ughhh i dunno... -____<

here's the process so far:

My digital method

here are some progress shots of my creature painting:

first a very quick sketch in black and eraser (white BG)
the sticky-outy things are silhouetted dead trees found on google


Further white erasing and new leg positions - the goal here is not really define a light source but to cut in forms that are important.


finally adding in the girl and BG which is just a cloud brush. at this point it's almost ready for a more delicate touch on the erasing.
 

once it's refined a little more (never actually painting in greys only blacks and erasing white i'll grab a few images off of google, eg: http://theorganicartist.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/ancu.jpg http://nstockham.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/photo-water-colour.jpg and chop out bits of them and paste them all over it in places here i kinda like and then try out different layering methods to get a new and cooler colours. from there I'll be clone stamping with spacing off...

Grog McGee

Here is some early work with grog mcgee who will be one of the characters i'm doing for character design:

and this would be the ship he sails on called the black albatros (the ship in the image is the HMS Rose):

Character Design roughs

of me?!

iz a pirate! (and some other stuff)

First Mr. Pirate Man (aka Grog McGee)

And here's some older stuff (newest to oldest) - most of it is unfinished ... because either I'm bored of it or I don't know how to finish it :/

Ms. Cartwright

Really fast paint and sketch (in the reverse order ;| ) -about 20mins-

Inception Fanart

Mal from Inception.

i really liked her character, she was pretty awesome. i loved them all, but shes currently my wallpaper. wanted it to be stylized, kind like those fashion kinda drawings? theyre always elongated and stuff, and kinda weird looking. i have this fascination with it, despite the fact i have no reference...haha. and i dont remember what artist did it first...but they always make their dresses turn into things...im sorta obsessed with it, i always draw it in notebooks and stuff, but i dont care! its pretty! coloured roughly like how adam suggested. i need to get more brushes...serioully.

what ya think? anyone alive?

Howl's Moving Castle

Fanart for howl and sophie! i was watching it and decided to do it! i hate colouring, so its really rough, and for some reason all my cool brushes decided to run away! yay! comments are appreciated!

ALSO! this was coloured with a mouse!!! not a tablet!! so it sucks moreso cuz of that.

-mikki
p.s. i tried to load up my last animation assignment but it wouldnt >__<

Yay for robot duuuuuuude xD

It's just a sketch. I don't really plan on finishing it. But it's just a random idea that I had and sort of put out there. Just showing that I'm not dead xD

We have many weaknesses

We feel too much. We die.

So, here's a sketch Deanna did for me. I was really nervous talking to her cause she's such a great artist and I really wanted her to have a good impression of me. But she's really nice - she did this during her character design class. She was basically helping me understand my character...

Also, I was gonna upload life drawing but scanning is so slow, I just don't want to do it. So, just have some boycat character sketches.



With photoshop crashing twice, this took about an hour to scan. haha ha hhahahhahahaughhhhh

ALSO WERNER SAID SOMETHING COOL TODAY (HE ALWAYS DOES) HE SAID THAT WHEN YOU ARE CAFE DRAWING, IT'S BETTER TO THINK OF THE DRAWING WE DO AS THE REALITY AND THE REAL PERSON AS A REFERENCE, SO DRAW AN APPROPRIATE GESTURE AND THEN DRAW THE PERSON BY REFERENCING FROM THEM, BUT THEIR POSE CHANGING SHOULDN'T MATTER GET IT?

INCOMPLETE

Hey, so this is my latest working-on project. It's not done. But I don't feel like continuing either. Maybe I'll work on it some other time. So I'ma just post it anywayyyssss.

I punch youuuuuuuuu

Sketch ... (also not finished)

Progression? O.o

OKAY! So I am going to post some nothingness here. However, it will develop in some way. Fell free to comment, but I'm going to update this post, or post again because I am le bored. So feel free to comment, stare, or ignore.

YAY!

aaaaaaaaaand that's it for now. Yay for fail-age! xD It's all shit.

Blackguard?

Yeah still nothing for the challenges <_< >_> but ...

flipping through DnD books and take one on where I'd take Sean as a dark knight (though it's really not proportionally Sean nor does it really look like him) ...

Back leg is not done nor is back arm, the latter is causing me problems ...

also ... @trav what is combo ninja?
