You Are Being Watched

BOOM, FINISHED:


Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go sleep for a million years.

(seriously, though, Person of Interest)

Edit: This is the next thing I'm working on. It's easier to find some of the flaws on the blog than in photoshop sometimes, so ya'll're getting a sneak peak.

Another art rec from dA

I have seen a lot of really spectacular body art over the years, both in person and over the 'net, but oh my god, this...I'm just going to leave this here for you all (link goes, once again, to the dA account in question)



If I ever find myself in Russia, I am going to track this guy down, for sure. And yes, I do know how big Russia is, I do not care.

Website dresses

Ok, this is neither my work nor anyone I know, but I've been seeing these website inspired dresses pop up on the internet, all clearly designed by the same person, and then I found out who was doing them and also they uploaded a blogger one today. This being a blogger blog, I had to share:




Link goes through to the designer's deviantart page, please go take a look.

wip

EDIT: AM TURNING THIS INTO ANOTHER PROCESS POST

Ver 1:


In which Finch's face is finished and Reese is a blob.


Tomorrow is extended family time, so here is what I've spent today working on:


I put an earlier version up on both tumblr and dA, and there's still a lot to do before this is even close to done, but this is the first time in a long time I've done something in photoshop without doing lineart and I felt like celebrating.

Except looking at this now I realize that in addition to other problems, Reese's head is way too big. WHATEVER I AM WORKING IN PHOTOSHOP I CAN FIX ANYTHING. PARTY ON.

Current version, because I only worked on this for about another hour today. More to come in the future"


At one point I had to lasso and move his ear, so now the overall shape of his face is better, but the transition between head and neck is...wrong. Plus I figured out that I was putting his eyes too close together, and when I fixed that it made his mouth too small. Haven't had a chance to address his forehead or hair yet, even though I think that that really needs to come up soon. And then, of course, the lightning inconsistencies. I don't plan to entirely resolve them, but, one or two, y'know? 

Edit 2:

I swear I was going to go to bed. 


Edit 3: It is now the next morning; I'm just gonna throw up subsequent versions as I get to interesting parts without labeling as separate  edits.





Last one for tonight, I think (and hopefully I'll figure out exactly what I want to do with the background by tomorrow):


EDIT 3: New day, continuing onward.




Last one before I finish:

Still Life: Decommissioned 04


Unless I start going into a lot of theoretical things, I don't know that I have a lot of things to say about these anymore? So I probably will start doing that with the next one; right now I'm just not feeling it, though.

Was going to wait to post this so that it was a bit more spread out from my last one. Whatever! No regrets!

Honey B and GD


Two posts a day? what is this ridiculousness.

Anyway, there's this thing going on on tumblr that is, I think, just some big creative hurricane/contest/whirlwind of death thing. So, of course, I had to take part.

A few years ago, I came across a website that was set up similarly: people would come up with characters, and then each week two people (or more, I guess) would agree to a bout, which mean that they would each do a comic of a certain length, and then people would vote on which one was better. This is a bit more organized: there are judges and they're going to be doing brackets.

But the thing that I really like is that they're talking about including a way for people to participate even after they've been 'eliminated,' which, y'know, I think is a good step.

Should be fun :)

Only the Paranoid Survive

I've been pretty fanart heavy the last couple of days, huh?

No regrets!


Harold Finch from Person of Interest. The season finale just happened and it's CBS so there are no places to legally stream episodes online, but I'm going to suggest that you go online and watch them anyway.

I don't know who is in charge of bottlenecking digital distribution at CBS, but I seriously want to slap them. Do they understand that they're actually hurting their shows and their profits by not making things, y'know, available?

Auf, gah, whatever, I am not in charge. Obviously.
