Inspired to do gothic-lolita versions of Disney Princesses from a friend. First Ariel, because I may actually make something like this for Otakon...

And progress from my previous post. I feel like there may be hope, as far as getting a little better :T

Can't sleep. Decided I'd do some character developing for a quick thumbnail speedpaint. This is as far as I got before I got sleepy again. I'll work on it another time then-yar.

Been feeling lately like I could do better as an artist & need to study other painting methods. So character thumbs is the direction I'm going in. Damn those kids and their dAGroup-submission-denials...and their music.

DrWho, Season 01 fanart...I couldn't help myself after that last episode o_o...& new Dr is "Barty Crouch Jr?" awesome <3

Something recent I've been working on, but got bored of it very quickly, may do a lighting pass in photoshop. I started it while watching "Bunny & the Bull." I love how between his house & the hotel in Spain, there was such organized clutter. If I had the time/money/patience, I'd make the walls out of hardcover books, magazines & small-boxes. It's bad enough I have this love of lamps.

BRAWL! progress01

2011-03-19T04:10:00.001-07:00

Its supposed to be a reinterpretation of subzero from mortal kombat. My idea is to draw away from the hardcore-Ninja look that he's known for and try something a little different, and come up with a small "backstory:"

-Younger
-Look of a "Rocker"
-Has some form of demonic powers; encases parts of his body in ice
-Cool breath from his mouth makes a shrowd around his neck that flows from his shoulders
-Ice-tail from his head makes for a fun-stabby-weapon
-The more he uses his powers, the more it takes a toll on his body, until there's nothing left

The things I will stay true to with his design are the main themes of frost/mist, ice, and the colors & patters of his outfit from "Deception," minus the pimp-fur.

I've heared throughout the years, as an illustrator that the best way to produce realistic skin-tones is to use as many colors as possible, showing where the hot/cool spots are. So, I made the attempt of just painting straight-up blue, yellow & red & blending them & holybannanas. It works O_O. I'm deffinetly doing this more often...

And just some other stuff I've worked on here & there...
