Childhood, trees, websites, pc’s…oh my!

Well my site revamp is about three quarters of the way done. All that’s left is to draw something for the about/profile page and of course to upload everything. Still very much in love with the whole damask pattern for layouts. And some how it gives the whole website a sort of “classier” look to things. Not that I haven’t seen classy looking artsites that use solid or vibrant colours.

Came across this entry on deviantArt challenging people to redraw whatever they used to draw when they first started out in art. For me, it was trees in the sun/ So of course this calls for….VECTOR TRESS AND SUNS WHOOOO! Now just to find a way to not make it look like every other abstract nature scene out there.

Tumble my website!

Been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but have no fear, I’m still alive and kicking! So Anime North came and went since my last update. Photos were taken and the experience was written about. Now that the convention excitement is over, time to get back to the business of art! So I’ve been posting little screenshots and works in progress on my tumblr. With that in mind, last night I started working on a little header image, just a matter of figuring out what to add text wise to the empty space. Also I’d like to finish the revamping the site by the end of the month, if not early August. With that in mind, I made a couple of little tweaks to the frontpage design that I had in the work. Almost tempted to livestream my progress, but then how interesting is it to see someone write line after line of css as opposed to drawing, inking and colouring a picture and watching it come to life? Either way, stay tuned! Last but not least…would any of you ladies out there marry any of these charming gentlemen?

I swear I saw the viking guy at AN this year!

Oh look! It’s of those wip thingies…

Finally finished the lineart for this on Thursday night and flat coloured it. Was all gung-ho on Friday about about colouring this, or at least making a start on the background but, as fate would have it, it seems allergy season has sprung up a little early and my eyes refused to stop watering, so background painting will have to wait for another day.

And last but not least…totally unrelated to art but…NEVER SAY NO TO PANDA…EVAR!

Off days…Hee-ho!

Another entry, another work in progress! Once again I took a few shortcuts with inking parts here and there, thanks to Photoshop’s lovely pentool! Seeing as we have Jack and Black Frost from the Persona games here…I wonder if this can be considered anthro artwork? As for ol’ Adell he’s almost done being inked. Actually if I wasn’t dealing with some wicked neck pain, it probably would have been completely inked and on to the flat colouring/shading stage, but it never hurts to take some time off for one’s health.

Linearts a go go!

Two linearts in the works. One as part of the super secret, vaguely explained art project, and the other as part of my website revamp. I don’t know what happened
