so close. i got 5 done. though there are a few more touch ups to do on the finished ones. i will keep working on this folio until i turn in. if this folio is successful then i will dedicate Monday to Wednesday (hopefully just Monday Tuesday) as "folio days" so i can get a new one out once a week and still have the rest of the week to work on 3d, commission, comics etc

finished all the renders today so i could go right into painting. i wanted to see just how much i could get done in a day with a super trimmed down drawing process. if i am lucky i can get a full folio, censorsheik and all, done in 1 to 3 days, though i am shooting for 2

the top one is 90% done and the other 3 have just been started. i could paint over the top one a bit more to make it look like my folios more so, but let me know what you all think.
the painting/render part is all done on one layer so it went by super fast.

a while ago i was asked by one of you (sorry i forgot who at this moment) if i could do a pure 3d folio. now i finally got around to starting it. this si just a test render, i probably will still do some paint over in the end to punch up colors and add some elements like fur and hair.
so lets see how this experiment turns out

they got waterlogged
copic gouache and watercolor on watercolor paper. this image is only 4 inches tall. i really like the way copic markers feel and the color range i can get
an interesting day today. i was dreading the idea of transferring the digital sketch to paper because my normal method was to print out the image on computer paper and cover the back with graphite and then trace over the lines while the paper i wanted to transfer too was underneath my printout. it is a long and tedious process and leaves a lot of groves in the paper because of how hard i need to press.
then i remembered "light boards" .....and i face palmed for about an hour. &nbs...

just doing final fixings and polishing the linework before i transfer it to either bristol board or my marker paper. i think marker paper would be best since i already tested it with my Mar pencil study

i thought i should do some studies with traditional medium with everyone's favorite censor bug, Censorsheik. and like a "big brain" i first tried going "BIG" ...but again i showed myself i should not jump into the deep end of the pool before i know how to "paddle" and so i did the next much smaller color study. i will be doing a lot more of her and taking a bunch on my unfinished (but line work IS finished) folios and do color studies for them too.

so i tried using less types of mediums with the next 5 skulls. 4 are just copic and pens and the last is colored pencils from a set i found that was probably 15 years old, the final skull i will use my newer watercolor pencils to see how they compare

once her design is approved then i can refine her line work enough to transfer her to paper for pencil work

well i tried doing too much too quickly with this painting. i got overconfident with my skull studies and tried to jump into a lot of untested waters (again)
i need to do more little studies like the skulls but of more various items and figures

starting another commission for Simone. once i have the line work down the way he wants then i will print it out and do a pencil overlay. once that is done i will scan it back into photoshop and add some digital color. the end result should look pretty cool

i have an idea for a comic called "night of the jackalopes" that i wanted a really Toontastic style for. so i took one of the very simple and stylized figures i have in my files and rigged it with a "stretchy bone" skeleton. basically a simplified version of the tail rig on my naga characters. i am hoping this new style of rig will help me keep the elastic style of cartoonish character but maintain consistent volumes and proportions
