025 - self portrait

every once in a while i like to do a new self portrait with my doctor who scarf, just because it's epic and awesome and took me forever to knit.

024 - marker character illustrations

sorry about me not posting anything, i've been caught up in my class work. but i bought some marker paper about a week ago and decided, after about a year of not using them, to play with my prismas. and of course, i end up defaulting to these characters when i'm playing with markers. coop and ten, aren't they lovely. i was thinking about doing the others from this storyline as well.

023 - character design

i haven't posted anything all summer because i really haven't been doing anything all summer. but this is a quick character design that i did yesterday because i had an idea in my head that wouldn't go away. so yeah, threw this together. and that's really all i've got to say.

022 - character illustration

the character from my previous update along with another from his story. i made a playlist for them and used this image to sort of.. well, advertise it i guess.

021 - character illustration

a doodle from work that i cleaned up and finished in photoshop. i felt like drawing just how i felt in my last semester's painting class, so i stuck my character quent into it. the dreary room is somewhat based on the painting studio at MWP, only much more desolate looking, if only to play up just how much i loathed the class. i'm not much for painting, really. which kind of sucks for whatever future in illustration i may have. why am i an art major guys, for serious.

020 - fanart

i was re-reading harry potter and the half-blood prince (so everything would be fresh in my mind when the movie came out) when i decided that i felt like drawing my two favourite characters - percy weasley and oliver wood. they're both background characters who don't get that much "screen time" and one of them is probably one of the most disliked characters in the series, even after his redemption in the last book. even jk rowling doesn't like percy. but i think he's a great, complex character and look forward to seeing him redeem himself in the last movie (even though he's been cut from the hbp one..)
oh man guys, i can not wait for my harry potter class next year.

019 - character designs

i'm sorry i haven't posted anything in like a month and a half, but if it's any consolation, it's not because i've been forgetting - i just haven't been doing anything. but today i took my tablet to work in the afternoon and did some doodles. i unintentionally ended up making a new brush that i like using a whole lot, so these were the outcome of me playing with it. i can ink and tone at the same time!

i've been developing three storylines at once since summer started so i would be able to feel productive. these two characters are from one that i named furre high. it has a LOT of characters, and some day i'd love to have an image of all of them done in this style so i can make a booklet with everything - character designs, char profiles, season outlines... who knows if that will happen.. wish me luck!

seef is on top, tearah is on bottom. tearah is unfortunately cursed to forever look like me. what happened is when i made her back in middle school, i gave her the glasses and haircut that eventually i wanted for myself. ...and then i got them, and she basically became me. only as a rabbit anthro. oops. i draw her nose differently than mine though.. and i started drawing her with her hair pulled back, which is something that i don't do often. seef (who is actually named steve, but i've been calling him seef since middle school).

this story has like 6 books planned out if i were to ever turn it into a comic, and the designs change slightly from one book to the next. basically as the characters grow. so seef looks like how he would in the 5th/6th book and tearah looks like how she would in the 4th/5th.
