TGIF! Finals kicking in and the motivation is already flying ahead to the next semester. Cant's stop thinking about the story I want to write for creative writing class =]. And the best part of it.... being in Brazil with the folks and the bros while working on that !!!

These characters have a rough blurry but absolutely confirmed spot in my story =D. The portrait took a little longer to do since I tried to flesh and render him a little. The other dude is just a mess. Loving them both so far. Will surely flesh both of them out during the break. Little main character girls coming soon ... Thanks to my instructor Kristan Le (she's great) for the triple-pony-tail-karaoke-singing idea for the main character!!! LOL

Hope everyone has a great end of semester and a fun break!

* If u're asking urself "wtf where's the dude's arm?" The answer is I have no idea (yet)
**edit** Newer version for Shabbah the crazy giant god of something that I'm not sure what is... that he's god of... sigh

character silhouette

The writing is supposed to mean "Cancer" in Greek. Gotta trust google I guess. I'm enjoying this b/w shape so I'm gonna flesh this guy out on whatever extra time I got between assignments. This will be added to what will hopefully become my thesis project which will include creating 24 characters, 12 for the zodiac signs and 12 for the chinese year animals. So yeah, any comments are welcome!

Hope yall students had a fun loving spring break and are ready to get back to it!

Girl with the Tattoo

This was fun. The photo is horrible and was taken under artificial light at night. I've worked more on her feet, legs and hand, to create a nicer flow to it. I'll take a better pic soon and remove these excuses lines. =D

Charcoal yum yum

this is an example of how to NOT draw hands... And I hope below is an example of how to YES draw hands, lol....







I'll put the finished version here once I take a pichurr.
















Feet study. This was much quicker than the hands due to a boring essay I had to write during the weekend and also cuz I wanted to try being faster and less worried. I like the outcome.





















In-class drawing. I'll be drawing this model again for the long 2 week assignment. Really dig the tattoo on her arm.

blade mistress

Or something like that.. this is more fun than I had in a while tho, and that's why I'm sharing the WIP. It started with a weird sketch that was inspired by 2h of deviantart browsing (which means it's 99.7% manga/anime oriented). She had a way bigger head/hair before I went over on the second round of detailing/paint-covering of her head.

I just like the fact it's just a girl and all I get to play with is the sexy and the "scy-fi-ish" part of it. Oh yeah. Another thing I tried was to keep the colors planned out before I went too crazy. Gonna be trying to work with dark and muted blue-greens and bright strong red-oranges.

*edit* Just called it done and here's the product. Don't want to be spending too much time rendering something that's just a concept study. I did enjoy it a lot tho =D.

Cheers! Have sum beers!

Erm...

I had a teacher that said very loud and clear in class: "Don't make a blog if you don' t update it at least once a month. People will think you're dead. And that's a bad thing". I agree. Business can't go well if clients don't know you are alive to paint for them heh.

Along with other watercolor stuff that I'll post shortly. I've been working on this digital painting of a faerie. Random subject. Just wanted something that would make me sit and paint. I'm happy with how it looks right now, maybe I'll work on her hands a little. I'm open for suggestions.

Cheers!

Mastablasta!

So I've done this work for a client in the UK!!! Very nice easygoing fella. This is an album cover for two rappers of my client's music record or something like that. Their sound is pretty cool and the album will be available for free download soon from what I understood. Anyways, it was lots of fun and here is a look at how it came out.
