Half Asleep

Last night's sketch before bed.

Blobs that make more blobs

This was completely an experiment by trying a different painting approach that I had read about early this week. The idea was to paint with only hard brushes without any pen pressure effects and controlled opacity. I didn't think you could make gradient blending with hard brushes this way, but I was wrong! The approach requires more control, but it also can be used to build up much more quickly and has an interestingly organic-ish aesthetic. I may not have done the best with the method, but this whole thing started as a giant blob used for blending testing.. so I'm happy with it. :D

WildStar - Aurin

Seeing how it's almost been a year since I drew my first WildStar aurin fan art, I figured I'd retry the large eyed style again. This started as just a warmup sketch, but then I thought it might be interesting to continue.

Aurin and WildStar belong to Carbine Studios.

Edit: It actually has been a whole year (and a day!) since I first started drawing WildStar fan art.. so here's the very first image, a sketch on paper (shocking!).

...and a quick 2014 digital paint-over.

.....and an overview sheet of most of the WildStar fan art I've done in the last year.

WildStar - Draken sketch

Draken character sketch from a straight-on reference I found in one of the character creation videos. I tried to go quickly through this and get a basic layout. I left it pretty sloppy, but might work on it more to finish it.

Edit: Adding some progress on this. The top image was made lighter automatically, but I found out what blogger was doing that (auto-enhance is a feature turned on by default once blogger is connected to google+).

Still needs more work. It feels too dark still as well as some cleaning up and polishing. :D

Wounded Mordesh sketch & WIP

..Today's sketch taking a different general approach. Yesterday I was mainly working on coloring flats, which really take me out of the process of drawing/painting. I'm adding my Female Granok Medic color WIP as well.

WildStar Granok Medic Lines Finished

I started this fanart piece back in September, but I only ever left it in a rough form. Some time later I started inking it, but then stopped that too. And finally, this week I picked it out of my old art file and decided to finish it up. I don't usually do heavy line work, so this was good practice. :D

Granoks and WildStar belong to Carbine Studios.

Star Wild WIPs

Going through my art files from last year and I found some projects I put a lot of work into, but never finished. Here's my WIP for my old female Granok medic sketch. At the time I had decided to practice a heavy line style. I have a few more related unfinished work, but I'm not really interested in finishing those up.

The second image was a warmup aurin drawing for a subsequent aurin drawing. And the third image is that subsequent drawing I was asked to make, which was based on the person's game character. I didn't like where I left it. I spent a long time working on it. Then towards the end I made sweeping, messy changes to it.
