bald update

bit of a chaotic day but i got a few things done

zebra-ing along

spent all day working on the high def version of my zebra girl.  once this is done i can do a few more tweaks on the base model and give her an initial rig.  

i have been watching a lot of tutorial videos recently on rigging for blender, particularly "Royal Skys LLC" who has nice short and very "To The Point" videos that make everything a lot easier to understand and implement 

trying again

trying another portrait study of the master Rembrandt.  this time i am putting a lot more structure behind the sketch and simplyfing the shadows a LOT 

hopefully this wont turn out a muddy as the last one 

enjoying a spring day

i wanted to practice with those manga brushes i downloaded for clip studio and i wanted an exuce to draw Mar and Shesheik.  i still need more practice with them

kitty update

i started using clip studio paint along with photoshop.  there are a whole bunch of free brushes for foliage and action lines in clip studio that are not available in photoshop and since i have both programs i might as well use both for what they are best at.  but i am going to need a lot more practice in clip Studio 

Bald update

man this book is taking a long time to finish.  now all these pages are done but i have 40 pages in total to go through.  most the pages just need some color polish so that is good.

i will slowly release the pages on all my sites which hopefully will give me enough time to finish the censorshiek images and build up hype for more people to buy it 

Madame Drama-fly

and now it is done'  i just need simone to go over it and tell me if any changes/fixes are needed

I am Rabbit hear me BUNNZ

spent most the day finishing this commission for logan. also i finished another commission and sent it to that individual.  i have just a few more left to finish.  especially Simone's commission wich is very close to being done 

kitty pouncing

yaaay coloring 

kitty update

aaaand i spent the rest of the day painting the cover.  i quite like the way it looks.  once i get a nice title i will post everywhere to get the hype train moving 

kitty update

it's pouncing time.  i really did not like the old cover i did a while ago so i re did it from the ground up. i like this revisit 

studies for anatomy, color and character designs

i forgot to post the color study i did of jon Neimeisters tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPdkEEYo3F0

and a study of  Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri  "Druuna" character.  first i just traced over her then i put my trace and the original side by side and redrew it free hand 

today i did several character studies for my next project.  the continuation of "demon quest". &nbs...

bald update

more bald updating 

bald update

had to finish working on my mothers new iphone and that took nearly 8 hours to  do.  but i did manage to finish the color on 2 more pages.  all that is needed is some atmospheric lighting and textureing 

bald update

got some acrylics today. but i need a LOT more practice in it before i have enough to show 

and working with traditional mediums has helped me look at my digital work in a new light

clockwork drama

today was a "work on commissions day" and i am liking how this is turning out.  just a bit more refinement as well as any input from simone and we will soon call it done

study update

finally managed to get some work done on the study 

RETOP ZTOP

finally got the zebra girl done and she went from 20k polygons to 7,8k polygons 

almost everything is a quad too

kitty update

after a morning of retopologizing zebra girl i spent the rest of the day refining line work.  tomorrow classes are canceled so i will just paint at home.  i have not done any painting all week and i want to get back to the master study 

BEHOLD ZZretop

another patreon request was to bring back some 3d folios finally got around to retoping my zebra girl. 

it is going a bit easier this time around but i found there are some major flaws in the symmetry of the original model.  fortunately the retoping will fix that. 

after i finish the retopology i need to do some research into bone driven shape keys and really make this a fantastic model 

page work

i just wanted to do a random one off page to loosen up in the morning ....8 hours later and i still feel like i rushed it.  the rest of the day was working on commissions 

kitty udate

2 different versions of that last panel let me know which you all prefer 

day sketches

interesting morning. spent about 4 hours on the phone with apple trying to get another family member's phone to work properly and that was mentally exhausting.  no fault on the apple people's side they helped me get through all of it.  the thing just took all morning.

so i did a couple of "de-stress" sketches.  not sure if i will ever finish them and the badger i will post everywhere for advertisement but i was able to get back to work after  

bald update

well i started working on this at 7 and it was noon before i decided it was done....i feel like i let myself have a lazy morning 

color the monkey spank

so i was going to use my water color pens on this but the first try went really REALLY badly and i am too tired to scan it in at this time.  so i went back to the digital version and started blocking in some color.  realized it was time to post so i put this on hold for now 

once i am finished blocking in the color i will go look up some nice jungle art references to help me refine the image

monkey spank

so i got some requests to bring back monkey girl here and full 3d folios (starting with zebra girl)  and i thought "sure i will just do a quick sketch then start retopoligzing my zebra girl and make her look even better....then i forgot to pay attention to the time and ended up spending most the day on this...oops 

now for the 3d folio.  i am going to do that differently to how i have in the past.  i will first do the drawing part then make the 3d fit the drawing&nbs...

the underpainting

ok got the very basic color indications down and tomorrow i cans start laying on the paints 

bald update

more page finalizing 

firey update

getting some basic highlights back in
