Torchlight 2 Lydia WIP

A friend and I played through Torchlight 2 with characters Walt and Lydia (named from Breaking Bad), and after we finished the campaign I started drawing the characters. I originally started the drawing at the end of 2012. I wound up leaving the partially drawn sketch. In my file cleaning from the other day I saw the sketch, thought it was interesting, and set it aside to work on later... So here is some of the work I've been doing on the drawing.

Symphony

Old drawing of my mesmer from GW2.

Mustang rework

Been going through old work and touching them up some, trying to figure out what didn't work with them. The original was very blurry and had too many soft edges, especially on the plane itself. The shape of the plane wasn't right, it's still not that great, but it's better.

Pirate lady - Quick touch up

Been going through my art files and saw this old project. I noticed it was the face that was off. Without completely reworking it, I touched it up some.

Wolverine sketch

I found a very loose sketch I had done of Wolverine from some time ago. I decided to add to it a bit.

Wolverine belongs to Marvel.

Ratty

I found drawing an irregular face to be interesting. This image has a really odd thumbnail composition and I can't tell if that's because something is off or simply because it's a bug-eyed creature face... I tried a new signature type after reading about how to properly sign your images. I have a messy signature which doesn't come off as creative, and print is crisper and less distracting.. so I'll try that for awhile. The copyright symbol just makes the sig look cooler. :P

Shiny Clothing Study

I really need to do more studies involving soft edge materials. This was a "quick" study that took awhile. 

Totally Clouds

Had a wonderful sunset tonight. I started by attempting to paint the sky by memory, but I wasn't doing so well, and so I grabbed a ref. The study was actually from a photo I took about a week ago. I was mainly trying to get the values down, I wasn't too concerned with the cloud shape. It's close, but didn't quite get it there.

Symph WIP

My war from WS. Not finished, still working on the character.

Morning Sketch

General Shapes

I've been working with flash AS3 and, in the spirit of simplified shapes, briefly worked on some cartoon studies. This was a side sketch. Sad power girl..well.. because she's drawn poorly. :D Whenever I draw loopy eyes with a few too many scratchy/sketchy marks it feels like I was trying for a John K Ren & Stimpy style.

Honestly, it's very helpful to practice cartoon styles as they focus on simplicity, large general shapes and gesture, somethings I'm terrible at conveying properly. I make the beginner mistake almost all the time of jumping straight into detail, making a contorted mess of my project.

Sketch'in

For the entire beginning half of June my tablet was unplugged. I did pick up my sketchbook though. I worked on some simple studies and took some notes, but other than that I haven't really practiced drawing. Today however, I spent a good portion of my time simply drawing. I wasn't particularly after anything, just drawing. It's really fun to draw without any preconceptions, worries, concerns, or pressing matters to attend to.

And here are some silly, juvenile, boob drawings, playing with focal points. :P

And a little less ballooning..

WIP - Granok Pinup

I thought it'd be fun to try a Granok pinup. I still need to tweak the pose, but more or less I'm happy with how it's progressing. The crossed eyes are generally what I draw in before I've settled on a face expression; it sort of works with the pose right now; I don't know if I'll change it. : /

Edit: Worked on this some more. Starting to get to the point where there are too many options to take. I'll have to take a break now.

Fem chua

Sketched this out back when there were all those Female Chua threads; cleaned it up and colored it today. I can't claim to say I know what a chua looks like offhand.

Be Ta No Lo Ng Er

I really haven't gotten much drawing in this May. I had pneumonia for the first half of the month and I didn't get much accomplished. ..Well, here's a Granok. : /

Lopp y Draken

Started this this morning and now I'm going a little cross-eyed. It could be cleaned up some, but at the very least, I need a break from it now.
