Ships

Here's some initial concepts I drew up for a steampunk spartan airship last semester. They were fun, since I'd never drawn an airship, or a ship at all...so there's some inaccuracies to be sure, even though I had to do quite a bit of research to even have a clue. Drawn in Sketchbook Pro.

Testing..

So I've been messing around with this new style a bit to do quick character sketching (I mentioned something about this before..). It's a sketch with some basic flat colors and a texture to add some interest on top. Here's my first example



He's one of my boyfriend's characters from an Exalted tabletop game we play in which he's a martial artist who's style is based around taking drugs.... He's very difficult to try and roleplay with because he also has a very low intelligence score and he's obsessed with sex. Gave me a ton of pose ideas though, so he was fun to draw!
Used Photoshop for this one.

Knight

Long day doing portraits today - did seven instead of the four or five I did in the past days, so my feet got a little sore. Feels nice to just chill now and do some art! I'm currently working on a style for doing quick-ish character drawings for commission purposes or just a style for quick characters in general. Either way, I may post some sketches for those here later.

For now, here's a character portrait and body sketch I did for a knight in an Anima: Beyond Fantasy table top game I was in. This was actually an NPC that I drew for the DM/my boyfriend, and we never even got to meet him! Frustrating since I already drew him and everything, lol. Sketchbook Pro.

Spring Break's Gone

Here's the rest of those dresses which are also done in Sketchbook Pro. Yesterday was the official end of Spring Break for me, so it's back to the grind. :/ This week is quite a busy one, because we're having events at school for the duration, one of them being portrait drawing stations. For yesterday, today, and tomorrow, I'm drawing quick 20-30min portraits in 2hour blocks each day. It's a lot of fun and very good practice, though I'm sad that I don't get pictures of most of them, otherwise I'd try to post a series.

Dresses

Here's a set of Grecian styled dresses I sketched up in August to practice working with a style constraint, but making interesting variations at the same time. There's another set that I'll probably post later.

Anatomy Practice

Done in Photoshop using references in DeviantArt stock. I always enjoy doing anatomy studies.

Spartaaa

Saturdays are always pretty busy for me, so here's a post quick before I head out for today.

I drew this character concept last semester. It's a Spartan warrior if brought into a steampunk era, and it's drawn with graphite! Seems like I don't scan/photograph my real sketches enough..

/Waking Up

Decided to post first thing out of bed today, since I still have some backlogged sketches to post.This one was kind of weird for me, because I've never drawn a peasant before, so it was challenging to make him look interesting while keeping in mind that he didn't have the money to buy fancy clothing. I was asked to draw this during summer semester by someone in a scriptwriting class, this being one of their characters. The random doodle was..I think a noble further along in the story. Either way, I used Sketchbook Pro for both the sketch and the coloring for once..I usually don't add color with Sketchbook because I much prefer Photoshop for that.

Last Racer WIPs

I finished up the racer girl I posted WIPs for a few days ago, but I realized I wasn't keeping my WIPs very updated x_x. Here's what I meant to post Monday:

Decided to cover the stomach because it just didn't make sense and honestly looks better more streamlined (although it did lose sexy points, boo). Things are also getting more rendered of course.

This one is just working more on rendering and polishing.

The final is posted here on my DeviantArt: http://toshuninja.deviantart.com/art/Motocross-201252486

This is all in Photoshop.

Inspiration

I went on a walk this afternoon, and while on it I saw this weird pine cone/flower looking thing on the ground, and it kinda looked a little like a cool headpiece.. so I got this massive inspiration! Right after getting back home from the walk, I hopped on Sketchbook Pro and drew this!
I love it when inspiration decides to show up :)

Face Practice

Random faces and hand/arm. I believe I drew this during the summer last year just to get some face practice in, so I have no clue why a hand and arm decided to show up. /shrug

Sketchbook Pro

Spring Break

Spring break is going on this week, so I spent most of yesterday playing games (Minecraft and Dragon Age 2). Ahh, it was nice. But back to drawing now!!

This one is quite old..and so random that I'm not quite sure when and why I drew it. One of those mindless things that are so great, ya know? Sketchbook Pro...at least I remember that!

Late

I ended up getting back home quite a bit later than I'd planned, so I never got to post that WIP yesterday. Pretty much laying down the basic colors to get an atmosphere going. All Photoshop still.

I'm quite a bit further on the painting now.

Currently..

Thought it might be fun to post something I'm currently working on:

This is the base sketch for a small painting I started today. I've got about 2hrs into it so far, but I'm busy for the rest of the day, so maybe I'll post a WIP late tonight.

Crazy~

I wouldn't usually put a painting here, but DeviantArt wouldn't let me upload it.

I can't remember if this was a half hour, or an hour speedpaint. Either way, the theme was 'Crazy,' so I went with a nutters robot. Used Photoshop.

Hi

Random Warrior with a sword that totally makes sense.... Sketchbook Pro

Not Surprising

I should have expected I'd get anxious and post more art today. The blog's all shiny, new, and annoyingly empty! Also, I counted all my backlogged sketches and found that I'd have over two weeks worth of stuff if I only posted once a day....so here's another!

I drew this around the same time as the Protoss gun (you might be able to tell with the influence in the arm/hand), which was sometime in August. He's just a random alien dude. I like him. Sketchbook Pro again.

First Post!

Right, so I decided to start a blog for my random sketches that don't necessarily belong in my portfolio, but I still want to display so they don't hide in my files for my eyes only. They will probably be very rough or sloppy for the most part, but who knows, I may post some more refined work every so often as well.

So I don't ramble forever, here's my first one;

Imagining what kind of gun a Protoss Zelot from Starcraft II might use. Used Sketchbook Pro
