Sketches of February

I lost a lot of time pursuing some failed ends on the ArtOrder Lyssa challenge, so unfortunately my free sketching hasn't been as active as I would have liked it.  Still though, here are some of the betters ones from February.

More AO Lyssa exploration

Continuing my sketches for the ArtOrder challenge...one of the members suggested exploring a multi-arm theme, and I'm glad I took the advice -- it's taking it in a new direction.

Doodles and other shit

I've finished my Levi Challenge over at ArtOrder!  I really enjoyed this one, gave me a chance to really push some color knowledge I've picked up.

I've also started on the next ArtOrder challenge, which you can make out in some of the doodles above...

Sketches and sketches

More graphite scrawlings and painter mud...currently working on the ArtOrder Levi Challenge, you can see the other submissions here: https://artorder.wipnation.com/index.jsp

New year post!

Hey hey, first post of the new year!  Not much to show at the moment, some sketchbook pages and an illustration I'm working on for a challenge over at ArtOrder.

More Life Drawing...

2nd batch of cherry-picked sketches...

Life drawing scribbles

A break from the usual norm, some life drawing stuff from the past couple of months.

John Carter of Mars

*click the picture for a BIG version.*
And it's done. I'm fairly happy with how it came out, with the exception of John Carter - no matter what I tried, I couldn't find a pose that seemed like a clear cut solution. I think next time I come across a problem like that I'll find the solution, it's just this time it eluded me.

Done mostly in Painter, with some Photoshop tweaks.

Where my time has been going lately...

This, pretty much. I'll be posting the final a little after Thanksgiving, and hopefully some life drawing stuff before that.

Lost in the Woods...

Here's an illustration I just finished earlier this week. Ancient hunters always had to contend with traipsing into some lesser deity's forest, accidentally killing their sacred animals...

Done in photoshop and Painter. If you want to see the Step by Step of it, then head on over to Deviantart, where I've posted it up. Here, I'll even provide a handy dandy link for you!

Sculpts and Doodles

It's like a bizarre art version of Snakes and Ladders! Just a bit of a sketchdump and a recent zbrush sculpt. The scales weren't hard to do, but were a bit time consuming. I'm still trying to find a way to put out a nice render of my zbrush stuff, since all I'm using right now is Zbrush's built-in renderer.

The Usual.

Lizards, monsters, and studies from life.

Heads and other things.

Here's a set of head studies that I did in an attempt to push my sense of color, along with some new sketchbook pages!
