I think it has been a while.
Oh goodness, let me post some art. I've been sitting on most of this for somewhere between months and weeks. 8O
Hay artists! Have you been paying attention to the thing that harveyjames is doing over at his journal? It's fun, draw one of his cats-in-hats girls if you have time before Saturday.
I did this girl, then realized she'd already been drawn.
So I did another.
A little while back,
rufftoon asked for fan art for her comic, Water Tribe. I'm not actually certain I've plugged this thing before, so I'll do it now. Water Tribe an epic what-if Avatar: The Last Airbender spinoff comic by one of the story board artists from the show. The story follows Admiral Zhao (the dude who was supposed to've been killed in the end of the first season) if he'd survived and was taken in by the Northern Water Tribe. The comic is a good 450 or so pages long, and is excellent. rufftoon is doing a small run of the comics, but I think they might only be available at San Diego Comic Con. (do not quote me on that)
I also drew Nauja as an ink test (I don't trust my brush anymore, I've pretty much decimated the thing), and decided to put some tone on it as well.
Some doodles from my tegaki. Ame.
Lars! I have never posted a picture of him before. He's a Ariesian Soleon -- the kind that North isn't.
Splashed some halfassed color on him in photoshop. Probably not his finalized coloring.
I am a terrifying nerd for myself. someone stop me.
AAAAAAA
Connecticon asked for some pictures of Ananth and myself for their con booklet. So I drew some terrible things.
The terrible thing I drew for myself. D8
elbales was sweet enough to send me a pack of artist trading cards a while back. I finally broke out some real media stuff and doodled out a few. I drew this one while listening to the new Decemberists CD? The drawing is kinda dumb and uninspired. Also, painted entirely in coffee and whatever that broth is that black beans make when you boil them (it makes a terribly pretty Payne's Gray color).
I tried to paint in watercolors for the first time in years and years and got frustrated and decimated the thing in acrylic. This was the unfortunate result. Sorry, Pythias.
Acrylic washes! My true love. I just finished Zelda: Wind Waker, and as irritating as I found DadBoat, he had the coolest design in the game (other than maybe Ganon). I did a Wind Waker comic over at Johnny Wander a bit back, with me and Pythias standing in. It's super, super dumb. I mean, really dumb.
Now that I've done some Artist Trading Cards, am I supposed to trade them? I'm so useless about these things.
And that half-naked lady I was promising! There is not much to oogle, apologies. I did some experimenting with textures and blowing out saturation. It was super fun. 8D It is Kaia and Dhio. Kaia's husband is a giant prehistoric dog. SWEET
... ... ...
SO, RECAP:
Draw a girl for
harveyjames.Read
rufftoon's Water Tribe.Oh gosh, there's so much more art that I left out. I need to share this stuff more often, I just have a bad tendency of getting all nervous and jittery about posting. :/
One final thing: It looks like I'm going to be following Ananth to do a Free Comicbook Day shindig at J&M Comics in Eldersburg, MD this upcoming weekend. (I'm 100% not important, I'm just going as moral support. If you stop by, we can hang out or whatever.) Also, I'll be at TCAF the weekend after that-- I don't have a table, but I hear I'm halfway recognizable in a crowd! If you see me, say hello!
