It is confuuuusing me :D

Flash and Photoshop aren't playing together nicely. I guess I'll just have to keep trying to figure out how to make them work without turning the animation into a spazzy mess. :)
It's all real fun though, I hope to practice tons and get better.

There is just not enough time in a week

I decided to give a WoW fanart contest a shot and failed. Enjoy :)
(yeah...I never really finished it *blush*)

Dust after a Nap

After a long week of moving heavy stuff back and forth...room to room...building to building...my poor boyfriend was plum tuckered out. He was having a nice long nap today but, being the food lover that I am, I woke him up for dinner leaving him somewhat disoriented and disgruntled. As he sat up to try and come to his senses, he had the best grumpy face plastered on and, since I was already drawing, I just had to pull up a new layer and do a little speed painting!

So here he is in all his grumpy glory! This 5 minute or so doodle-sketch of my sweetheart.

(Isn't he just adorable? :P)

Head Stem

Been listening to "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Across the Universe" over and over and over again all day and this is what happened. I ended up rushing a background because life calls and I have other things to do :(
It's a weirdzilla drawing anyway, I don't think it minds. :P

Breathe Again

So, I'm doing this fun little thing someone showed me on Deviantart. There is a list of 100 words or phrases and you're suppose to draw every one from your own perspective. It's a neat way to force yourself to have work to do, even when you really don't. It is also pretty handy when you just can't seem to formulate any ideas for yourself!

I was going to make them super awesome, full color illustrations...but I decided I like quick and fun better. That seems to be my mindset lately so I'm just going to go with the flow. XD

This one was for the phrase "Breathe Again."
I started out trying to draw the feeling of waking up gasping for air because, for some reason, you stop breathing during sleep. Then the whole thing just kind of turned into a vampire-ish ...thing.

Speed Painting

I'm always browsing around the web for cool concept artwork and speed paintings. They are just too super awesome to NOT want to spend all day admiring them.

Anyway, I love the idea of speed painting so much that I think I'm going to try at least one every day. They happen in the heat of the moment, must be super fun to not have to worry about refining stuff, AND they look cool...if you're good. To be honest, I simply adore the textures and crazy lines that happen. Colors too.

I did this last night as I was about to pass out. Hopefully (if I keep this up) I will see a big step in awesomeness later on in the summer (because this one is poopy).
(but I secretly like it anyway, hehe)

Brushes

I have decided that I play on Photoshop allot rather than actually having a goal or idea and pursuing it artistically. Not that it's necessarily a BAD thing, I should just be refining rather than re...doodling.

Playing with textures still. Hope to move on to some other fascinating technique soon.

(incomplete and will most likely stay that way) (hope it doesn't bother you too much 'cuz that's just, life.)
