Week Three: Something

This background is... something, like the title says. A decent background idea just wouldn't come to me. A spaceship interior would have a lot of gray, and the characters do too. So just... random brown. Or something.

Anyway, it's done! I can take the next two days off from Weekly Art, aside from planning Week 4.

Week Three: Minimum Color

The powers that be must be in favor of me having a lot of time to finish this since my school campus was closed due to snow and both my studio classes were cancelled yesterday.

Still no set ideas for the background; probably a linear background. Also, more color will be added to Denver's pants and his face.

Now to keep watching Scrubs and enjoying not being out trudging through the snow.

Week Three: Heavy Lines

Inking this drawing did not go as smoothly as planned, and since it's a different type of subject matter than the last two doing things a bit differently was fitting anyway. The coloring will be different too, probably very flat. I messed up on Denver's face repeatedly while inking it, so I'llbe trying to color around the correction fluid, which is never fun. The background's likely to be very symmetrical, since they're on a space ship.

Today is my first real day of class in both my studios! I'm excited for Life Drawing but have NO ideas for my first Printmaking project. That should be interesting...

Week Three: Futuristic Love

It's time to move on to adding another character in the drawing, and also time to make another attempt at drawing my hermaphrodite alien, Corvus. This time, however, I'm including en's android boyfriend, Denver. He's an awkward adorable thing still adapting to his emotion software.

Corvus' species is rather shy by nature, and also rather short. Corvus is about 5'1", Denver is at least six feet since he's constructed in the image of a famous male model (in that setting anyway).

Also, some more character sketches. Seems I've forgotten how to draw my goat Kenjo. Duke turned out awesome, though.

Yep, Still Tough + Sketches!

The painting is coming along. According to my instructor it's turning out great, while I'm half-way between loathing and being okay with it. Thankfully as I look at it from the photo right now it's tilting more towards "okay".

And finally got around to scanning a few sketches! The first was a quick birthday sketch for my cousin because I fail and won't be able to mail her gifts to her until Friday and her birthday was earlier this week. It's her character Denver from a role-play that we're doing together.

I also tried to draw my half of the role-play, Corvus. However, I don't think I like it enough to be bothered with finishing it. Alas.
Finally just something I sketched during my lecture classes this week. Yes, more Hetalia fan art. Also some... thing I just started doodling. It starts with a random shape and I just build on it. they're kinda fun.

Week 24: ...In Space!

When I sat down and opened Photoshop yesterday I wasn't expecting to finish this all at once. But who am I to deny a good artistic roll? There's some errors still, but over-all it was a good relaxing means to get back into the whole Weekly Art thing. I'm thinking of taking out the line along the back of Corvus' tail, though. It looks rather bulky.

Week 24: Uniformity

Hopefully the androgyny is more evident now that Corvus is clothed. Also, my cousin and I have decided to use "en" as a gender-neutral pronoun for this character and the rest of the species that share the hermaphrodite trait.

Actually, being born as one set gender is pity-worthy for Corvus' people. Also, this species normally resides in a complex system of underground cities on their planet. The surface world is 75% barren wasteland, so can you blame them?

week 24: Alien Behavior

While on vacation this last week, I birthed another new original character for the sake of a role play story with my cousin "A" and I. It's a sci-fi setting, and her character is a male-type android and mine is the alien being sketched out here.

I wanted a female character, but a rather manly female, and for the sake of having a good reason, Corvus (the character) is of a species that is born hermaphrodites about 80% of the time. Corvus is one of those majority, though the hermaphrodites of the species can decide to emphasize one gender trait over another at any time. I think right now Corvus is about neutral.

While Corvus has a tail, her/his ears are rounded, because pretty much every other alien character you ever see has pointed ears. Doing four fingers instead of five was accidental, but I think I'll keep that trait. It'll make drawing hands more difficult later.
