I should start logging my hours with these projects. This was quite a joy to make! I learned a lot of techniques for creating ice effects... However, none were to my liking, so I had to create my own. Ah the joys of Photoshop. It wasn’t meant to be one of my characters, but he suddenly transformed into a revamped version of my old friend: Frazier. He usually wears a blindfold over his difficult-to-create-in-photoshop-eyes. But despite my complaints, it was fun to figure out exactly how they look.
It was fun trying to figure out how to make a decent sandstorm.
We the People
So, this may seem kinda silly, but I made this little guy in commemoration (that really isn’t the right word is it) of today. I don’t super like spreading my political views on the internet for fear of backlash, but I don’t think I can keep quiet anymore. Net Neutrality was voted down, which is a bummer. What I think is worse still is that the voices of “the people” just aren’t being listened too. The battle certainly isn’t over yet though, so let’s not give up hope! Fight fight fight against it!
Anyways, I know it’s nothing grand or fancy-- but it means something to me, and I think that’s what is most important. Creating art is the my only outlet so this was the poster I made to express my feelings. Feel free to spread it around if you feel the same way.
So, these are for an art competition on Icepets-- yes. I know. I’m a dork. LEAVE ME ALONE DANGIT XD
BUT I really like art competitions because they give me a chance to spread out my artistic wings and draw something new. And I love what I was able to make here!
The first two are not 100% original (the line work anyway) because it was more like a “coloring page” contest. The sweater idea was mine though and it’s funny because a Ridix is kinda like a cat and... yeah... XD
And then the OTHER pictures are photos that I took, and then editing on photoshop to make this really adorable character that I have now fallen in love with because he’s just WEIRD XD And yes his sweater is made out of tissue. I had to think outside of the box-- if you know what I mean *winky face*
These were just a joy to make! And I hope you enjoy their unique qualities as much as I do. The creatures themselves are creations based on the creatures from the game of Ice Pets.
(Also tabsterblaster if you’re reading this YES that is totally that meerkat you gifted me XD)
BTW, Merry Christmas everyone!
Dragonbard
Get it? He’s a Dragonborn Bard... Therefore... Dragonbard.
THIS was actually really fun to do! The first is the original sketch, the other two pictures were inked by hand. You might see future recreations of this in the future... I love how it turned out. The eyes in the second picture look too cutesy to me, and I’ve been trying to figure it out. Perhaps I put too many dark lines there. Sometimes less is more.
A Mandala project we did at school. It's a little over a foot big. Took about 2 to 3 hours, it was a lot of fun! Done only with black felt tipped pens and markers.
For our study on focal point, we made newpaper page inspired collages! I quite enjoyed this, and I like the aesthetic that this style of art created...
We made our patterns In class, it was a surprisingly complicated process haha. But I based it off of some things I loved about Maryland!
Happy mermay.... again haha. Now I feel like I'm committed XD
I am really happy with this art piece! Accomplishing it helped me to realize I could create art with far more stylization than I ever thought I was capable of. This came out of an illustration class and I'm SO glad I took it!
Marked (Preview)
Hope this little preview gets you just as excited as I am! I’ve officially started on my first graphic novel which, for the time being, is called Marked. I’ll be posting pages of the novel weekly on Fridays, so be looking forward to that.
I’ll give you more of a summary next week with the title page and page one. But I feel like it’s important to say this now: this book addresses mental illness, specifically anxiety and depression. It’s just as much for those who are clinically diagnosed as it is for family members, friends, or anyone who wants to better understand. Hopefully it can help you or a loved one to gain insight on these situations. Please share this with family and friends, and get the word around. I hope to be able to influence as many people as possible! :)
Thank you!
For class I’m experimenting with different styles, as well as coloring. This was just some fun stuff that I did!
Marked- Page 3
Sorry it took a little while to get this page out. I’ve had it done but haven’t posted it, haha. Ironically, I’m still struggling with my own depression and anxiety while trying to complete this project. But worry not-- this is too important for me to give up.
Thanks again for your patience!
Underfell-- Turn Around...
I was reading an underfell comic and got the urge to redraw a couple scenes... Because the comic is super great and undertale is the best game ever and how can you say no am I right?
It was also a great opportunity to practice coloring and mess with color adjustments. The first one is the final image (after the filters) and the second one is the first image (before the filters)
The comic I was reading was by Kaitogirl on Deviantart
Marked- Page 5
Life is a struggle but WE KEEP CHUGGING ON ANYWAY! Sorry the updates are slow going. This page isn’t technically finished either haha. But I think it’s best to say what you need to say rather than worry about making everything perfect...
Fire and Ice
Two more just for fun/practice illustrations.
When you finish a thing at Midnight and can't share with your friends until its morning...
Then you post it on Tumblr.
This took 4 hours start to finish, it was a lot of fun to make. This is a male Harpy named Lyceris (yes I know Harpys arent usually male.)
Post from my other blog.
Drew my friends' favorite villagers for fun. I am just doing quick doodles haha. If you would like your favorite villager drawn just let me know. ^^
