Trying stuff out

Joke post

Feel free to ignore it. It's 1 o'clock in the morning, time to watch Pan's Labyrinth!

Heresy spawns from idleness

And man have I been idle lately. This was mostly just a test to try out a different technique; working in black and white and then using an overlay layer for the coloring.
It's terrible as W40K art, it needs at least two more chainsaws, three eviscerations, and a mountain of corpses to rank anywhere.

(I officially hate Blogger for listing "eviscerations" as misspelled and causing me to google it to check. Don't ever google "evisceration.")

Girl page

I found a old inked version of a standing pose for the girl character, and realized that I'd started a counterpart to the one-page I did for the boy like a month ago and then totally forgot about it. So I fixed a couple of things, colored it, and added some extra poses.

Man, I need to name these two.

I'm not really sure which direction I want to go on this project. I had combined a couple side projects into one, but right now I'm not sure that was the best idea.

Building a better ship

Just refining the quick sketch I posted earlier. I ditched the balloon. Apparently this whole story takes place in a fantasy world where it's always 15 minutes till sunset. :P

Speed paint

Got a bunch of new brushes through a link from Selene, tried a couple of them out. Really didn't yield any difference from my usual work, I don't think. Oh well.

Anyways, speed paint, about two hours.


EDIT: Added another speed paint. About 45 minutes for this one.

More designs

I've just been plugging away at this project. I didn't get nearly as much done last week as I wanted to, partly on account of Comic-Con but mostly just because of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2. I'm proud of myself, though; my party uses all the races this time and not just, well, Viera.

Anyways, I've been trying to design airships the past couple of days. I'm slower when it comes to mechanical designs; I've spent so much of the last four years drawing organic characters that I'm a bit out of practice.


I've also been doing some work on the girl. She's pretty much finished, so this image may change in a day or two to a full sheet like the one I did for the boy.
