1/5/16 - Starting again

So last semester I was really busy and didn't really have art that I felt was up to snuff - was in a bit of a rut and it suffered and I decided not to post it, feeling like I could do much better. I realize now I should have kept going regardless. But hey, can't fix the past. But I can fix the present. So I'm gonna be posting again, maybe not every day but frequently. Here's something I'm working on now:

I'm working on some "mana color' illustrations for a side project card game thing. This is the green color, as you might expect. I'm trying to include elements common in those elements and a hand gesture. This one is the furthest along. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment so these are taking a bit of a backseat but I thought it was kind of a neat idea so I'd leave it here.

Well, I'll be back soon enough with more.

9/6/15 - Betta Glass

Hey, I missed yesterday and I have progress on one of the thumbs I showed over the last few days instead of Ilyana progress today:

But Ilyana is one of a few pieces I'm gonna be working on tomorrow for sure so I should have something to show then!

Till tomorrow!

9/4/15 - More Thumbs

Just as the title says, I really only have more thumbs right now. I hope to have more Ilyana progress tomorrow, so look for that!

Be back then!

9/3/15 - Some Thumbs

I missed yesterday, but today I've got some work from my other classes:

That's all for now. I'll be back and with more explanation (probably) tomorrow!

8/31/15 - Ilyana Thumbs

So I started work on the thumbnail sketches, generating ideas for the full composition. I'm likely going to take the top right one and flesh it out a lot more. I like that pose for her, as it's based on her attack animation in the game increasing familiarity and it's a powerful pose.

Tomorrow I'll probably have a very different set of thumbnails, as I'm now juggling a lot of different projects thanks to uni. This means more diverse work but it might get a bit confusing as I jump back and forward. There's a lot of different pieces I need to work on now.

And I'll show the start of one of them tomorrow!

8/30/15 - Ilyana Design Final

So this is the design I went with:

After I took some mentorship suggestions. I'm pretty happy with it, I think it looks pretty cool. Now it's on to the composition and rough sketch!

Which I will show progress on tomorrow!

8/29/15 - Prep sketches

So I started prep work for the next character a few days back:

This time, I wanted to do a bit more of a study on the costume, so I drew out a few variations that kept the same core themes I saw in the original design. Not much to say besides that. I've got a few days of work for this piece saved up so I'll definitely have stuff ready to share for the next few days!

Till tomorrow!
