Ruana and Aspen aka Mint

Here is the small scan that I have been working on a little bit for Ruana's patterning. I still have to figure out what Aspen's colorations, though he prefers to be called Mint.

I will have more on the pair of them as time progress I think. The background is slowly coming along well.

WIP preview

Well this took a little finagling but I ended up getting it to look how I wanted it so here is a preview of what I am working on.

This piece is going to be on 11x14 Smooth Vellum Bristol board, I am thinking that I will be working with colored pencil on this one. I will be adding in a background as well for this piece, in what little background space I have left that is but I already have an idea so we'll see if it works when I try to add it. If not I will come up with something else.

Pixie Sketch

Well here's another sketch, this character is actually going to be part of another drawing. So eventually there will be a piece that contains him and another character. Both of which need names so that is another thing I will have to make sure to look up.

So it should be a fun piece. Though I will fully admit I hate trying to figure out hands. I know it is good practice but I still don't necessarily like it. Hopefully I will get a bit more time to work on it today.

Random Sketching

This is what happens when you get inspired to draw between 12 am and 1 am in the morning. Since this is what I had done bright and early friday morning while chatting with friends before crashing and having to get up for work by the latest 11am. Needless to say I was up by nine after going to bed at 2.

I might see if I can fix some of her slightly distorted anatomy when I get a chance to work on her again. We'll just have to wait and see.

Synergy WIP

Well I did meet my goal today that I wanted to and that was to have the flat color base in for Synergy so I figured I would post the work in progress. I took a slightly different approach that I haven't done in quite some time and that was to work with colored line art. So we'll see how it goes. I am quite happy with it this far.
I'm not exactly sure how I am going to handle the shading for her yet but we'll see. I might try a few different methods and see which one I like the best.

Finishing the Old to make it New

Well I decided as I was looking through many of the half finished sketches that I have that I might as well try and finish a few off. So hopefully over the next couple weeks everyone well see some new finished works even if some of the pieces are a bit older. Though I do use the world older as a flexible term since some of these pictures are a few weeks old and some of them are a few months...or sometimes more.


Let me start here with Synergy, this is always once sketch that I really liked, there are a few that have seen this piece unfinished and even a different rendition of this piece. But I figured she is still a relatively new character might as well update her the way she should be as a lovely Nezumyan. I may put more up about her race sometime later but not sure yet. I have a small list of other pictures that I will be working on finishing as well. Two of the more prominent sketches I will be finishing is my blog header image and the Vez dragon sketch that is a few entries ago.

Marilynn Blaze

This was my submission for Phoenix E.V. as a mascot idea. Though she did not make the cut I am proud to say that I was in the top three.


So who knows what I may or may not do with her in the future since I really like her design work.
