Website!

Jimminy cricket, I've been meaning to make this thing for ages. Spent the last three nights on it, and it is now done! (if a bit rough)

solid-state-studios.com

And that is my excuse for the lack of sketchbook challenge uploads (valid? maybe, maybe not) Either way, you should go there and let me know if I've messed anything up.

Sorry for the delay. But now we continue on!

Day 10: super hero

I thought it would be fun to base a costume around a plague doctor's mask. I think I'm gonna keep playing around with this design, I've got some hope for this character. 

no sketches today

Need to take a little break. I'll probably do two tomorrow to make up for it even. In the meantime, some paintings:

This one feels like it's from ages ago. I think I even posted the sketch of it. It's now hanging on some friends' wall. Happy for it to have a home, because it's pretty much too big for me to move by myself.

These two are from last fall. As large as the one before was, these were the two largest paintings that I had at the time. So large that even the people who wanted to house them for me couldn't take them, so I had to put them out to get garbage picked. I am happy to report, though, that they did in fact get taken. By two different people, even, so at least my work's getting spread around.

And now, more recent stuff. This time, from fall. I mostly worked on smaller pieces on paper for the majority of the semester. These three came in right at the end.

Is it obvious yet that I snapped these as I was moving? Yyyyyeah.

Anyway, we're now about two weeks into the semester. Here's what's happening now (much smaller and mostly studies)

Tomorrow I start to work larger again (30x40 inches, nowhere near the size of previous semesters, but at least now I can transport my work myself)

Siamese Twins

I assumed they meant the cats, otherwise they'd probably say conjoined twins. I guess next time I should actually figure out how cats work.

30 day sketchbook challenge day 8

Sorry for the delay--I went to visit my parents over the weekend.

Hybrid Animal

I have no reasonable explanation for this: the unipus

Possible pokemon evolutions? I think so.

sketchbook challenge, days 5 and 6

childhood memory

 

My mom wouldn't play many video games when I was young, but when she did she'd play them at night and they'd have screaming suits of armor in them. Zooooooork.

Whats in your bag?

This is...not everything, but as I carry a backpack and not a purse, this is not a huge shock, maybe. Not pictured: two more pencil bags, another sketchbook, a shirt, and two more bulldog clips

day 4--re-design book cover

Sabriel is one of my favorite books from way back in the day. This was done pretty quickly, but the effect, I think, is kinda nice.

Most recent dream

True story: I can't remember the dreams I've had for the last few months.

Ooooh, no, wait, I remember one where I showed up for the first day of class and didn't have anything to paint on so I had to hide from my professor 'till I had prepped some boards. Well, too late. 

sketchbook challenge day 02

Imaginary Friend

I don't really have an imaginary friend these days, but when I'm going over a decision in my head, I figure it's this guy who's the one that says 'go for it. what's the worst that could happen?' (he's often right, btw)

First day: self portrait

Anyway, classes have started. Final semester. Yikes.
