mood: awake

I'm putting this thing to use! yay! (On second thought, I'm going to try, at least) I'll be posting personal stuff so this will be a friends-only journal. Some art-related and other general posts will be public.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day. :)

Basic colouring done. I had some fun playing with colour in the absence of my tablet...


Vulcan - sketch @DevArt

( sketch )

I've discovered that using my pencils makes me happier than sketching on the computer...

100% done from memory, so it sports a mix of male facial features.

mood: weird

I needed to take my mind away from everyday things. This came out... It was meant to be a mage in green robes. Yes, it came out dark and a little strange.

Green. Not Human @ DevArt

No references used. It seems a tad narrow, but it isn't human, after all.

Colonel Studmuffin...

Completed! :)


@DevArt

----------------
Another WIP and the Colonel got the ax. Although, I might still include him on the left...

( 2 out of 3 muffins )


I've been sketching lots of things! A couple of gypsies, a fortuneteller, a windswept fantasy lady and a set of muffins... :D Meaning Darcy, Bingley and Colonel er... Fitzwilliam. I just came across that nickname and think it fits nicely. :D The Jane Austen fan in me was stirred by remembering the story "For the Love of Jane" by Teresa AF. It's not finished, but the Colonel has made an impression (along other brilliantly developed characters...

So, I'll be colouring something soon, but I gotta scan some sketches first.

( Take a peek at the muffins )

With the whole crew in character. Lovable mature Jim, hot Spock, awesome Uhura, cute Chekov, snarky McCoy and mischievous Scotty! Among others. Yes, yes, yes.

music: fan, at high speed

I wanted to do it for a while, but I was worried that I wouldn't get them right. It is rare that I work on art from a character portrayed by an actor or actress because of that. It is not ZQ or ZS but I like how they look so far. There's a likeness... :) I'm not sure if this first sketch will make to the colouring stage, but I have started. Will post the WIP soonish.

UPDATE:
( Spock and Uhura sketched goodness under the cut... )

It is not perfect, I know this, but I've already started correcting booboos in both figure's arms, his pecks and the fabric flow of his sleeve and her dress on paper. It is my hope to start painting it tomorrow. But maybe I'll work on another sketch first... :D

I decided to post my first entry to Vyrl's Arcea Contest. I've looked and looked at it and I think there's nothing else I want to change. So I might as well make it public. I'm nervous! Wish me luck. :)


Resting Elwen @ DevArt

In the meantime, I'm fine tuning my second entry. It is almost done, I think, but there are a few things that still need some adjusting...

When I realized I'd love to do something like it one day. I'd really, really like to. So, I will, I hope. Ot at least illustrate someone's awesome story...

In any case, The Phoenix Requiem is a graphic novel by Sarah Ellerton. It is amazing and I'm an avid follower (AKA addict) via steshin. If you have time to kill, give it a go, you might find yourself making time for it later. :D

I decided to revise him and push myself a little bit more in terms of anatomy.

Here's the WIP and I'm looking for feedback to make it as good as it can be.
