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.

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

But as you can tell, I had a bit of an issue while working on it and just decided to do something else ^^

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?

Team Pocket stand Up

So if you haven't noticed I've been trying to submit something at least once per day this week. Today I ran out of stock art that I felt was good enough to show anyone so I decided to make something new.

Well sorta new, I took the idea from Dani, when she drew Team Pocket with their pokemon. I loved that idea so I thought I would also take a stab at it;



So I don't know why my scanner decided to chop of the very edges of my drawing. Tells me I need a new scanner. I also don't know why they been turned into different sizes when posting them up here.

Anyways. So Why i am posting all of the inked drawings on here is, while I was colouring them, I was having trouble with my copic markers... meaning that I didn't have enough colours to choose from. So I Scanned them all in and started colouring them in Photoshop... but they were turning out terribly.

Then I thought of a cool idea. I'll turn it into a challenge is enough people are interested. I thought what if we all coloured ourselves? You could print it out and paint it, pencil crayon it or marker it, or digitally paint it, whatever!
The colour scheme however I would like to keep where pokemon are coloured their actually colour. Each of us has our own colour. Adam is Red, Elena is Black, Blake is Blue, Dani is Green, Travis is White, Mikki is Purple, and Sean is Yellow. So if you were to colour yourself just keep in mind your main colour. Other then that it's free game.

However if not everybody wants to do it I will colour them myself.

Anyways that is just an idea I had, I would still like a critique or comment for my all days work.

I had the most fun drawing Blake and Elena. Elena Goth Lolita dress was really fun to come up with. I really like dressing Elena up! Ha ha ha. Whenever I see Dani's or Blake's I chuckle to myself because I think I'm funny.

Out.

Girl with Gun


So here's my girl with a gun. I actually started her in May but never finished. So... I think I'll try to finish her this week.
And I cropped off the gun because it looks really stupid right now.

Elena

hi sean


hi sean, just drew over your pic in ms paint
with my mouse!
talent huh?!


basically, i just made his SCM muscle connect to the lil spot beneath his ears more directly. and i gave him a little bump beneath his chin, cause otherwise it was flat as cats. and some lines to help show the change in planes from the under the jaw area to the neck. i dunno, what do you say?
sean, sketch

#058 Growlithe

 
*Press play to play battle music*

 You encounter a wild Growlithe!

You throw a Pokeball!
Blurry Growlithe is caught!
Pokédex has been updated;
A Pokémon with a loyal nature. It appears to be a little fuzy in some areas and lacking some structure in other. It would be nice to call this a finished Growlithe but I the pokédex cannot recommend it. The creator of this Growlithe really must have finished it fast and has not spent any time with it for about a month. It will remain motionless until it is given an order by its Trainer. This one must have been given a strict order to be playful.

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.

PROTECTION


Do you remember when we were Going out for lifeguards And snuck into the caves where All the kids were smoking And jeans were in our uniform But not unless the calves were thin And I will take a Polaroid You will show me how to drink Summertime, the hottest day You remember, don't you baby? Paranoid, no prescription You believed I let you die When you close your eyes I don't need protection See those clouds arise Wasn't my intention



A true artist's post, with italics and everything.
Well, here's a layout that's based on these lyrics... well the beginning. It's also about a story I have where there is a small town in southern England. The reason this town even exists is simply cause it's a dig site, and many workers have moved there with their families. Their kids wander around and explore the ruined city and do drugs, kill animals and fight one another. But there's something they don't know......... haha omg so badly written, please don't judge me.

It's too hot.

While I was hot, I was trying to draw... it wasn't working out so well so I just complained about it.
Drawing while it is draw sucks... I hate the heat.


Not much to say about this. Except.... I HATE SUMMER!!
