Oh man

I haven't been keeping up with this blog at all. D:

I've been much more active over on Tumblr than here. I also have more people following that blog than this one. :I Don't know how the Blogger community works, either, so I don't know how to put myself out there with this blog.

"Els Engel" - WIP

Something I was asked to work on for a family friend's mother, since she hasn't been doing so well and wont be among us in the very very near future. As far as I know, she's on her deathbed as I type this. I have no idea if she'll ever see the finished product.

I'm really pushing my boundaries with this one. I don't think I've done something this serious in a long time and as a painting to boot! It still has some (a lot?) of work that needs to be put into it, though.

Armour Design

Wanted to try drawing more elaborate clothing and what better to practice on than armour? I also decided to make it harder on myself and design my own. xD Not the best idea since I hardly know how armour works, for the most part. If I understood how it fits and how it moves, I would have had a better time designing this in a more authentic manner.
I also had this gloomy dark scene in mind that inspired this piece in the first place. I hope to complete it with this piece, if not, it would be a good learning experience.

Tears in a Dark Room

Something that started off as not so serious speedpainting but then it got more serious. Rendering is questionable in places, but I didn't use a reference when doing this, so that's okay. I do like how it turned out, though. I like dramatic lighting. I need to practice it more often.

Digital Reboot - Gatomon sketches

I've decided to call this little project 'Digital Reboot'.

I'm a little happier with how the design turned out for Gatomon. I think it's closer to what a human counterpart would look like.

Llamas!

I think Llamas are weird. But they're fun to draw in this stylized way. Someone had given me the nickname "Domma Llama" back in highschool. Don't know WHY, but you know. -shrugs- I prefered "Domnomnom" which was more of a play on the 'om nom nom' sound effect.

Some doodlings

Well, I did say I would start using this blog as more of a sketch dump, so here goes.

Tried out some ink washing. I'll have to experiment with it more.

Developing a new character that's more human. @w@ Of course I couldn't stay away from adding fantasy tidbits. =w=; I'm also biased on blonde hair, it seems. Probably largely due to myself being blonde.

Also, Korra! 

Some development on the varying facial structures of my Dhrakonians. I'm still tinkering with ideas on how to make them more realistic. (Designing their feet/legs is incredibly frustrating.) Also, a friend's character as the Koopa King. He's a grump face.
