A year later... lol

Man I'm the worst at updating blogs.  I'll try to be better with it.

Finished a quick poster for a friend of a friend's fundraiser.  Quote is actually shortened since it didn't fit, it originally would be: “Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.”And according to Google it is a Cree Indian Prophecy.

"Or maybe it is a dream.

Your dream, my dream…

…I do not know.

You are the moon of my life.

That is all i know…

…and all i need to know.

And if this is a dream…

…i will kill the man who tries to wake me."

Until the rivers run dry.

And the mountains are blown away like leaves…"

Sketched in Seconds.

November Theme: Energy

I wanted to do some sketches this month of "Dancing with Energy" this was originally a series of paintings I wanted to do that utilized the elements. So I figured what better way to decide on the paintings than to upload all of my sketches of the different poses and choose from there?

The elements I had in mind when I drew these, in order: Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, if you can kind of tell where my sketching was going, lol.

Hope you enjoy, I uploaded four this time to catch up from the first few days of November that I missed. :)

NeoComic-Progress

Color-progress for NeoComic.

This is just to show I'm actually working on it, lol. These stairs were such a bitch to free-hand, next time I'm totally cheating and modeling them in Maya first. =_=; So if the perspective is off, I apologize, as of right now I have no plans to fix it further. The stairs will actually be colored, this is just a tone-blocking of them.

I feel like the kougra is as detailed as she's currently going to get since she has so many details anyway, I don't want to further complex her with a lot of shading (especially since I plan to submit this to be shown in the Neopet's newsletter, henceforth referred to as NT for Neopian Times; the limit only allows for 200kb so this is going to get seriously shrunk as is.)

And sadly you won't actually see the majority of the stairs in the comic but since I really do want to get better at drawing architectural structures, I decided to draw more of them initially for practice.

Hope you enjoy, look forward to the rest of the first issue colored!

Sketched in Seconds

These sketches for Sketched in Seconds were actually done on different days and the girl was part of the original set, however I lost the paper of her in one of my work notebooks and she just turned up this morning whilst I was doing some cleaning. So here she is! Sorry for her delay!

The drawing of the clown, Joko, is probably the last one I'll be doing at my current job. Starting November I'll have a new position aboard the high-seas, or rather, intracoastal waterway as a pirate. Yes, you read that correctly, I've been offered a position as part of the marketing team for a new event yacht with a pirate theme, so of course, I'll be taking part in the pirate theatrics too and doing face-painting for the kiddies. Ah, my jobs are awesome.

Anyway enjoy these sketches, the next update will have the fully colored comic from the previous entry! :)

Sillies

So for those who have ever played Neopets.com I'm a phantom user on there. That is, I forget I have an account for months at a time and then suddenly decide to lurk back on there for whatever reason.

I use to be highly in love with the site back when Adam/Donna/Poptart/Snowflake and all the other old TNT administrators where not only part of theneopetsteam but active on the boards. So my account is about nine and a half years old right now, hahaha.

Unfortunately I only have access to one of my accounts as the other two have incorrect birthdays entered ages ago and even after contacting administration with the correct email address and password, they still refused to unlock my account and allow me to reset my birthday.

And of course one of those accounts was my neopoints bank. =_=;; After nine and a half years, my main account is now incredibly poor since my millions of neopoints and extremely rare items are all locked away on an account I'll never be able to unlock again... ah, whoa is me.

Besides that, due to following one of my favorite DA artists who is just insanely good in all things comical, 2D animated and just a fantastic all-around gal, (check out her ridiculously fabulous artwork on DA here: http://canadian-rainwater.deviantart.com/), she also has a Neopets' comic that she's working on and it tickles my fancy.

That said, after being thoroughly engrossed in her comical works and realizing how incredibly lacking my own comic drawing skills are, I've decided to embark on my own Neopet-related comic series. I hope it will help me get use to drawing the same character over and over again in different poses and to help familarize me with drawing animals and architecture.

So view my first released-in progress work of my comic! :)



As simplistic as this comic is, the architectural challenges of the stair cases (and on page 2 there's actually a lot more to the staircases that I drew, it just ended up not fitting into the panels) coupled with drawing the kougra walking down the staircases, gave me a rather large headache. My kougra also has wings so that was another structural issue of figuring out how to fit them in without them taking up the entire panel; I attempted to fold them in such a manner that it hopefully makes some kind of anatomical sense, though I'm still in doubt if anyone will actually realize they are wings. =_=;;

Anyway, I'm rather happy with how this is coming along, I'm undecided if I'll actually attempt to color them or if I'm just going to enhance the lines and leave them in shades of gray tones... I'm pretty lazy, so the entire comic might end up in shades of gray. ^^;; we'll see. I want to gray out this panel and then move on to sketching out the rest of the comics. I have a very rough idea in my head of where this story is even going and how many comics it'll be, my sketches will decide!

Lmao, well, hope you enjoy and hope it brings back a little Neopets nostalgia for you! :)

* Edit: Also I should note that the text on page 2 isn't going to be kept in that format, because it looks stupid, it's simply so I can know how much room the text will take up on those panels. ~ That is all.
