2/27/15 - Bastion paint!

It's up and ready to go:

I still want to do another detail pass as it's still kind of off - I want to do another attempt at better imitating the style as this isn't nearly sufficient. Nevertheless, I think it turned out okay. Still got ways to go but it's a start.

Until tomorrow!

2/26/15 - Destiny Titan

I drew up my Titan from Destiny:

Somewhat of a speedpainting, again these are warmups of sorts. Made some embellishments so he's not the default and made him closer to Kopaka from Bionicle, who I had in mind while creating him.

Sadly no creative writing or Bastion today - I have the file saved and ready but it's pdf, which I can't upload here. So, that'll have to wait a little longer. Sorry!

Till tomorrow!

2/25/15 - RSE Ending

Not much today. I'm tired. Busy. Sorry bout that. It's really late. I did a quick fanart of the original Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald for a sketch to warmup, so here goes:

Pretty simple and straightforward.

Looking forward, I'm thinking of integrating some of the poetry/creative writing I do into this blog as well. I'm taking a class in it right now and am considering practicing further. I might prompt myself with the poem/story, then attempt to illustrate a component of it. Sounds like a fun warmup. Will try it out for a week or so.

Also, I'm going to be delayed on the Bastion paint for a little while, sorry. I need to get the file on this computer to touch it up a bit more before publishing it.

So that's all for today. I'll be back tomorrow!

2/24/15 - Bastion Finished!

I finished the painting (well, I have to turn it in so I'm calling it 'finished' but I'd like to do more work), That said, I don't have the file here yet, so I'm gonna save this post here for tomorrow, when I'll have it all done. I'll edit it back in then. That took up all of my time today, so I don't have a warmup. I did that as a physical drawing and I don't have effective tools to scan it in.

So, sadly, no pic yet, but it'll be up tomorrow. See you then!

2/23/15 - Garden

Geez I'm late and for all the different reasons this time. I've been doing too much painting and not enough posting! So here's a warmup:

The theme was garden, so I went with something whimsical. I just realized I still have my palette in the top right corner, whoops! Forgot to take that out. Well, it's still good.

I'm almost done with the Bastion paint so that should be coming soon too, Till tomorrow (hopefully)!

2/21/15 - Arwing

I made an Arwing!

The date is old on this, but the exercise is similar to what I'm doing now. Today was a busy day so there was no warmup either. I almost burned the apartment down!

But I didn't, so that's cool. Anyway, have an Arwing redesign:

Until tomorrow!

2/20/15 - Changing things (again)

I'm still trying to find a good format for this blog. I'm not too comfortable posting all these WIP images as many of them get left behind, and I'd like to increase the quality of postings (and my practice) instead of just trying to pump out something to see each day. Part of my new practice philosophy entails not worrying so much about the time a piece takes to make. Forcing myself to do daily updates or daily finished pieces would go against that. That said, I do want to put something here everyday and I want it to be worthwhile. So I'm going to change things up.

I'll post a warmup painting/sketch here each day. If I have a finished piece or something I'd like to show, I'll post it on days where something goes wrong and I can't post a normal sketch, or I'll post both. This way, the piece I post here will be smaller - something designed to be done quickly as a warmup or short study. It'll look better than the WIP stuff here, but won't be grand in scale.

So that's my plan. Unfortunately, I didn't do a warmup today and it's too late for me to dive back in to painting. I actually don't do warmups, but I guess I should start and now's a good a time as any. So starting tomorrow, I'll be doing that instead. Till then!
