Week Sixteen Start

This week I decided it was time to draw one of my own characters again. It's been a while since one of them last had some spotlight, and if memory serves my character Duke hasn't had any at all this year, poor guy. Actually, I doubt he cares. Look at how characteristically unimpressed he is.

I've re-drawn his face several times and it's still bothering me, so we'll see if I can get it to a point where it looks right. Also, this week's pose is brought to you by this stock photo.

Week 7 - Finished

I've had my coffee and am currently freezing, so I'm much more awake than I was when I made the update this morning. Surprisingly, what I did today probably didn't take as long as just merging the images last night. Just some scribbling around to make shadows and highlights, which was rather relaxing.

I'm going to post it on DeviantArt as-is, but if anyone notices a huge detail that I need to fix, feel free to let me know.

Week 7 - Progress 1: Two for the Price of One!

Good deal, huh? Since my markers are dropping like flies, I decided it was best if I only did the figure in traditional media and used trusty Photoshop + Tablet for the background. Besides, my break from complex backgrounds is over and this just seemed like the best way to handle it.

This week's subject is my Goat-youkai (Japanese mythological being), Kenjo. He's doing his nerdy thing and reading. In Japanese garden. Because he'd love that. Might even give him some tea, too. Yes, the book looks odd right now. I'll fix it tomorrow.

Again using a stock photo for my reference. This one right here. Also using TheJapaneseGarden.com for ideas for the setting.

Week 6 - Progress 1: Gunslinger Kitty

Yes, the update is a day late, but rest assured that I did, in fact, draw this yesterday. It just was late at night by the time I scanned it. I even went through the hassle of scanning it from my mom's computer, e-mailing it to myself, and then uploading it now instead of when I get home tomorrow.

After three weeks of hassling with a lot of straight lines and a distinct lack of curves, I decided that I was going to have as much fun this week as possible. Also, I haven't drawn my main original character, Kat, yet this year. Shameful, isn't it? So I make up for that now by drawing her in a random vigilante-like outfit. Because I love vigilante movies. And yes, she will have under-arm holsters. Those things are awesome.
