On The Shelf

I have to get back to these projects. They have been lying dormant for sometime now. 

Although I have been writing and doing research in between posts while working on some job-related projects too.

I am also pondering a design for my own ink, collecting styles and symbols that would cover the entire breadth of my back.

I keep reminding myself Patience is a virtue with everything I do.

The Roxymorrons In Pencil

The pencils are done!

Now I can continue with the album cover/concept art. I have something to work on. Usually, I would do a "turnaround" or front, back and both sides first for each member, but I did the sketch with the Vespa first so All I have to do is model each band member from this and continue with the cover art.

Which brings me to work on this first before I set out to continue all the other projects I set out to do, including the Elemental Babe.

Old Works - Dalaga 000

There are some stuff I need to do for Elemental Babe, so while research is still pending, I still have to find my groove with the brush. So instead of sitting around doing nothing, here's another old illustration. I'm thinking the hair could use a little more work. That goes to the rest of it.

So I just had to use this as another study. Not much to see for now, just brush strokes and a bit more tweaking with the settings.

PsD is A3 = 27.9cm x 43.2cm [11in x 17in] @ 240dpi

(or you could jack it up to 300dpi for print)

Since uploading for web viewing means you have to shave off some pixels, I usually process by using the Save-For-Web on the tools menu. The image is now @ 72dpi.

From Scratch 000

Looks like this one I will have to do and finish for myself now. I tweaked the anatomy a bit, and decided to do a bit more research with the raiment and armor, some more detailing and proper clothing. Those, and the right way to restart this project is underway. I just had to show you what has been changed so far.

Now that I look at this, I have concluded this idea was from a real, live person, though not as shapely and daring, but the idea of a tough but fragile looking, and often mysterious woman is really someone I know. maybe she'll see herself after this is over and done with.

Green Devil

I keep asking "Why green?"

It's because I never liked red. This coloring for this old illustration ends here. Maybe I'll return to working on it another day, but this looks fine, for a very old drawing.

The Gate (A Short Film)

I have to share this. I'm a sucker for underdogs. This has got some real potential, heavy story. And because my childhood and teenage years were spent reading sci-fi books, and comics, Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica, I'm always on the lookout for stuff like this.

Figured since I do not have anything new to post, this one would do just fine.
