I Don't Feel Good About Uploading The Work I've Been Doing For The NewInspiredanthology, Since It's A

I don't feel good about uploading the work I've been doing for the new Inspired anthology, since it's a team effort, but to wind down between massive inking sessions I've been doodling some fanart and this one turned out pretty well.

Koga's one of my favourite supporting characters from InuYasha, even if he did turn out to be bloody impossible to draw. Rumiko Takahashi's style is really hard to translate into other ones.

Also, turns out I can't really draw wolves, especially not extinct ones. Oh well.

P.S. I've only read up to volume 23, so nobody tell me anything that happens after that!

inspired anthology

I thought you might like to see my cover design for the sci-fi anthology Inspired is putting out later this year. You can see a few more on the Inspired blog, as well as a lot of development work from the other members. I'm working on a second one, but it's turning into a lesson in why I should always scan my lineart before I paint anything, as I'm now having to go through the laborious process of tracing all the lines on Photoshop, printing a blue-line, re-inking it by hand and scanning it in again to colour digitally. If anyone knows a faster way PLEASE tell me. Obviously that's taking forever, so here's some of the development work and the world's most basic page sketch to tide you over:

  If you're interested in some of Inspired's older anthologies (I've got a comic in Pick & Mix 2, hint hint) we now have an online shop that you can find HERE.

Finally all my work for the Inspired anthology is finished and delivered, so I have time to work on other things again, huzzah! Not that I've done any other things yet, so here are some more journal pictures for your enjoyment. Most of these were drawn after the functional end of 3rd year, so I think they represent a high point of drawing quality - I was bored enough to pencil them first.

If you're interested, Sammy (depicted above) did a comic of this incident from her point of view. I was thinking of doing one from my end of things too, since I swear it scared me more than her.

would you liek some toast?

How could you?  You know toast if my arch-nemesis! D:

observation

These are some observational pictures I did in the back of my journal.  I'm not great at observational portraits because I take too long to get the basics down, but I thought these turned out well.  Maybe I should start doing them all on lined paper, it makes me worry less about getting things wrong.

why helllooooooo there~/stalks:B
