I found some old assignment sketched from my character design class and decided to ‘ink’ them. Cutesy teenage mutant ninja turtles are too much fun.
So this is what I’ve been posting progress shots of. A little tribute to Mitch Hedberg :)
This was made to be printed at 300dpi on tabloid sized paper. I can post this somewhere to get prints if people show interest in it.
From the same piece as the happy berries.
Stay tuned.
Happy little berries! WIP sample. I’m excited to see how this one turns out.
Trying to make a cast of characters inspired by turtles…
exercise in keeping similar key traits while still differentiating body types. The two fellas on the left make me think of GoT characters for some reason. It wasn’t intentional.
Another progress shot of the Grandpa painting. I’ve been procrastinating the background… And he will not have hipster glasses when I’m done, those are the under-portion of thin silver frames.
More turtles. I’m working on anthropomorphizing skills… it is harder than it seems!
I think I have drawn this exact thing before, but my memory is foggy.
After a long process of making minor tweaks now and then, I’m calling this one done!
I really want to try and get this into a show somewhere.
So when I went to Atlanta last year, I got some good photos of turtles at the aquarium. This drawing is based on one such photo.
Be prepared for more turtle-themed drawings in the coming days, I went on a sort of theme recently!
Life in space. I’m kind of lost right now as to how I want to proceed. Color/monochromatic shading? Stick to inky cross-hatching or a more blended painted look. It might be a while before I figure it out… Also I’m worried I made the plants look messy. You can barely tell them apart. Hmm decisions.
(Critique/thoughts are always welcome!)
When my fella likes a post I make on the interwebs. (*^_^*)
Short gif animations placate my need for instant gratification. Need to work on the timing a bit.
Zombie grandpa! Just kidding. I’m making a portrait of him for his birthday. Just haven’t reached the eyes yet…and now I have to make his body match his head…bad proportions are bad!
I really like how clean this looks. Done in Illustrator based on provided scrap art.
So every month, Laika has a creative challenge where they post a theme, and people respond. I have been following their challenges for while, but this month I actually got off my butt and did something.
The challenge was called “unlucky leprechaun”.
I figured, when rainbows are a major part of your life, how much must it suck to be born colorblind? That would be really unlucky!
