oodles of doodles

Another unfinished crap post. Plenty of ideas, just no time to finish them. Meh.

Crunch!

the random poles you see in the background is the lack-of-fence. The plants seem to be happier without it, but it'll go back up soon.

And gardening. That's where my time has gone. I can post some pictures of my garden?

Oooooh, and I got an awesome freelance job. Yay! Painting instead of vertex pushing!

Making my studio messy

Trying to paint some watercolors. It's very hot up here though... Stupid crazy weather.

My studio

It's very nearly almost finished, I just have to strip the window seat. And, well, you know, paint stuff.

horse and robot

Another sketch for weekly practice. I'm having trouble with the horse, somebody could give me some helpful feedback (you know who you are). The horse and rider are actually from a painting I had a dream about, that I didn't paint in my dream. There was another horse and rider in the opposite position, kind of yin and yang. Weird. Hopefully my subconscious isn't ripping somebody else off.

filler

Pchew, pchew, Booom, neeeeeeer!

That was my thought process for this picture. Done for weekly concept art practice.

Fantasy art is not so good

But it sure is fun!

I think it needs something at her feet still, but I'm going to stop messing with it for now.

More squishy painting

Using the squishy brushes in painter. I'm used to watercolors, so squishy painting doesn't come naturally to me. The most opaque I usually go is watered down gouache. Photoshop is more like painting with gouache. Or maybe acrylics that dry instantly.

Yummy Jelly

I don't know why it's yummy. It might be ironically named.

Steampunkery

Trying to do some more industrial settings, using many odd-shaped brushes and painter. Still looks pretty messy, but it's getting there.

more art, less bitching

Pirate. I didn't say it would be good art, now did I?

wasting time

Look what I built! These things are cool. Except I think I'm allergic to balsa or something, I kept sneezing and knocking bits off.

Eating beautiful things

I have no idea what this thing is, but I think by eating it my math skills will improve.

Pimping myself out

Huh, there are many people looking at this blog, which is... weird.
Well, since all you imaginary people are paying attention, the big news is I quit my job. It's all very sad, but it was time to move on. After two weeks of sleeping lots, I'm looking for agents and freelance work. If another game industry job that sounds awesome pops up I'll probably take it, but right now I'd like to work on some illustration stuff until I'm sick of that. The good news is I can post more stuff, no NDA! Yay! I don't have the rights to my old stuff, though. Poo.

Art with Ovaries

I read on somebody else's blog that their art director wanted "art with balls". I've decided I'm going to start using the phrase "art with ovaries" in my critiques just to really confuse people and sound as misandrist as possible.

Nerd art

Stick a fork in it!

this again

I added a dragon. Because dragons are cool and shit.


yes, I know, why don't I try finishing something. Too much sugar, maybe.

My new house

DIBS!
