Back in Action!

And we're back up! Rather, *I'm* back up. I was on hiatus from an artistic freakout, so as a temporary remedy, I took the blog down. This time around, I'm going to try and keep posting (still drawing of course) on a regular basis. Currently working on a digital painting so I can practice my photoshop chops.

Anyways, I have to do some animation homework (which I will post about later) so I leave you with this:

I made this as a Valentine's day present for my dear friend Chris Vear, a cupid Love Pug! I hope you like him, as he likes you very much :D

And it starts

I'm AALLLIIVVEEE! So after a tumultuous two weeks, I'm starting to get back into the game. Wondercon is coming up so I'm really going to push myself to get around 4 portfolio pieces done and ready for review. And my website. Sigh.

Anyways! Here's some concept sketches of my original character. She's this mix of 20s and 50s clothing-wise, but I really wanted to give her that sassy look. I'm horrible at drawing bodies, but I'm practicing them still so hopefully that'll show in a few weeks.

Butterfly Girl

This is a quick sketch/ink drawing that I did on Sunday after the CAM-JAM I went to. I was still on a roll from all the drawing and the inking, and combined with an episode of Kara no Kyoukai...this is what resulted.

For some background reference, the episode of Kara no Kyoukai I was watching showed a girl with long, black hair while she was standing on the edge of a building. That scene was cut along side with a butterfly flying around in the dark. I thought it was a very poignant moment and I wanted to capture the feelings it gave me. The theme, obviously, was flying.

This was actually one of my first, personal, drawings I've done and inked with pen. I hope do more like these in the future as a part of a series, but no guarantees.
