Omygosh, he is going so fast as to ESCAPE COLOUR ITSELF. :0
lols, his grin looks kind of creepy. It wasn't like that in the original sketch, I promise!



Also, the answers to last post's pokejinkas aaarrre: Gyarados and Magicarp (which were pretty obvious), Gengar (who was pretty vague, 'cause I still don't know what I'm doing with him other than maybe MAFIA BOSS) and Quilava (who is totally rebellious. Just like every other second stage fire starter ever!). The plan at the moment is to do Quilava, Charmeleon, Combusken and Monferno being rebellious together. :B



I bought two booklets of shiny new cardstock/paper today and some new ink. There was a sale! Also, buying those pushed me over the edge of $500 on my loyalty program card so I got a $50 voucher for artstuffs. SAWEET!

I actually DID get around to sending in a little Impulse thing to Project Rooftop! I will post that tomorrow!

TODAY:

A sketch for Eatfun, which I'll do more with later but for now here's, like, a teaser or something!



Under the cut:


I whited out all the names/captions, so you'll have to guess what they are. It shouldn't be hard. Hopefully. D:


So yeah, tomorrow: Impulse, maths assignment by 5pm (:<) and if I'm lucky I'll have time to finish Poison Ivy or a couple gijinkas. :\

Oh, but I have to work on Tuesday AND Friday this week so actually I should probably just work on those other assignments. >:| Fuck you, employment!

Not really that interesting BUT:


The original pencils are from 2005 apparently! I actually still really like them (after some modifications). I think it'll turn out well, if I can get the lighting right. :D

I got a hundred dollars this week for drawing a couple of images for some Chinese flash cards. SAWEET! The, uh, commissioners were some family friends who publish a textbook for learning Chinese (mandarin) and their artists have all up and quit on them recently. Which sucks! But I profit from it, ohohoho! Had to imitate the old artist's style. That was weird. >_>

So, with that hundred dollars I bought:
- A Lanstag Zoids toy. With a name like that (it's a STAG with a LANCE! GET IT? GET IT??), I could NOT pass it up. :B
- A Liger Zero X Zoids toy
- preorder for a HMM Blade Liger

The HMM Blade Liger looks really nice. Behold! Unpainted prototype images!



I have no idea how I am going to assemble that bastard (needs glue and cement and stuff apparently? D:) but I guess I'll work it out.

I was never a fan of the Zoids anime (because they were all STUPID) but I've always liked the toys for no reason. I've wanted a robot lion since I was a child (Barbies? Haha, whut, no) for NO APPARENT REASON and now...I shall have two. :B And a robot moose. Haaahaha, I still find that thing hilarious! I can't wait for them to arrive!

Oh, LJ, why would you save a draft version of something I've already posted?


So I was jazzing to do some digital painting. Like cuhraazy. So even though I'm falling a little bit behind on my lectures and haven't done any of my tutes or pracs, on Wednesday I punched out this guy:


Someone on DevArt has a character very similar to this. I don't know who. But I remembered it days later and kind of ran with it and got this so...that's the best credit I can give for the original inspiration, I'm afraid. Too much yellow, ohmans.

Guess who discovered the palette function in OpenCanvas and consequently got a million times better at this digital painting thing in a really short space of time!? (Haha, all this time I've been like "Man, there should really be a palette function...that seems like a huge oversight by the program designers... Maybe I should email them about it...?")


Meet Fleance. He is about a hundred times more gorgeous that I expected him to be. omgs looks at him. :O Unfortunately this is the largest resolution I have for this one because I saved over my backups at 40% the original size. FUUUUUCK. Not decided on the colouring of his clothing yet. Hahaha, I used all the Primary colours. :B

I should paint Enthalpien in the Secondaries. BURN YOUR RETINAAA~!



In other news: Anyone know of a good oekaki, or want to OpenCanvas network or something? I really want to draw with other people (god knows, I need the practice) but I don't go to some crazy artschool and therefore suck. D:

(Also, hello, people watching me! Wanna chat? 'cause I just switched to Miranda and it is awesome and I can chat to eeeverybody, even if they are on AIM and Yahoo! and crap. :D NOT that I need more distraction from university work, huhu.)
