As I sit typing this, it's about two minutes until new years, and my resolution is to suck less. At art, that is. It will take some work, but that's something I think I can do. I've been doing a lot of practice lately, but the only thing I have on hand for easy posting are these:






For some reason I have huge difficulty with digital painting. So I'm working on fixing that. I'm starting with some small, simple things to try and figure it out, so I'll be posting some of my efforts. Mayhaps we shall begin to see less suckage! :P

More Pencils

Some more sketches, this time ones that became finished pieces. Well, two finished pieces and one half finished one.






The finished versions can be found here:

Sketcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

I haven't been keeping up with my blog very well, because I don't really have either the time or the energy to edit sketches for posting at the moment. However, here's some fairly recent sketches that have been sitting in my flash drive for a while.

Flats

Well, it took a while because I've had so much other stuff to be doing, but I finally got the flats done. Now to move on to the actual painting part. :P



You should also ignore all those little jpeg artifacts, because for some bizarre reason it would only let me convert to JPEG. Oh well.

Hwee!

I have a secret: hwee doesn't mean anything.

Today I have a couple practice paintings from around a month ago. I was fairly pleased with how they wound up looking.

Comic Pencils

Here are the pencils for some comic pages I made for my portfolio- they are really the intro of a larger comic project I'm not actually going to be tackling in full until I'm a lot better at a variety of things. Note that these are rather messy- I've already neatened them up a bit, don't hold your breath for them to turn pristine. There's a reason I don't use my pencils for the final comic. :I














These four pages will be posted on my DA as soon as I finish the fourth. Then I hope to finish the intro pages of this and then tackle a short comic project that I'd really like to get under my belt before I head off to school.

Oh, grand dreams.


Edited for grammars. :V

For realz post which is shorter than the aforemention short post

This is an image I popped out when I was casting around for portfolio ideas. It was originally intended to be a marker piece. I never dd finish that version of it, but I think I'm going to use it for CG practice now.
