Color Study

A color study, based on a sculpture and a photo from instagram that really spoke to me.

She is really rough right now, but she's off to a good start before I head to work.

Working today on something that I'm not so great at. Mechs, war machines, tanks whatever you want to call them. As much as I love a good gundam, my brain just doesn't seem to enjoy making them. I'm trying to add to my skills, so what I don't enjoy or feel uncomfortable with seems like a good start. Bottom right seems the most promising so far. more later.

In which we return to our own bed...

So, for the first time ever, I visited PAX East. 

It was one of those places that makes you feel home, surrounded by people who are just like you. I was privileged to meet many talented people, and ask questions, play games and take home some neat free stuff (though I also spent a considerable amount of money...)

Found new love for some old things near to my heart watching a Zelda speed run, accompanied by Bit Brigade playing awesome renditions of some of my favorite game music. 

Also attended some panels, both educational, and amusing. Reminding me, and everyone, most of all, that we are awesome, and there really isn't anything stopping us from being such. 

We'll see about next year. For now, it's great to be in my own bed...

Brain Break

So I decided to take a short break from my current project to give my brain a rest. I ended up revisiting one of my robots that I just could never get right. There was something about her I couldn't quite tap into. But, if you will pardon the pun, after scribbling for a little bit, I seem to have finally found her groove. So before I pass out, here is the music box diva, and the tin man band...

Anatomy

Looking at the animals that I'm basing my work on

How I love pencils

Thought the kitty kaiju was looking a bit off, so I sketched from some pictures of big cats and redrew his face. Liking it so far. Sometimes starting in photoshop I get a little lost, so I took it to pencils. 

Lights.

Started working on the lights, but might resketch the beast. Talking to a friend about making him less cute.
