Moon Light

A quick painting of a werewolf. Happy October!
Watch the playback on my Colours Gallery if you'd like.

Cave Refuge

after really knocking out the cobwebs from my 3DS painting hand, and watching some sweet playbacks on the Colours gallery for inspiration, I decided to try and redo a piece that was apparently so old and horrible I didn't bother to load it onto the blog.

I saved the Playback on this painting if you want to take a look!

3DS Painting studies

I decided to break out my 3DS for some painting studies. My attempts at getting started go from "Wtf???" to "Cleared out Cobwebs" as illustrated below;

Mystery Girl

A portrait of Alexandra from our comic, The Refuge!

More DS Portraits

More critters!
I really need to keep pushing the contrast of my values.

Mutt Jester

A commission of a silly mutt! 
Done on Nintendo 3DS

Loss

It's one of those days, so have a miserable, wet William Herondale.
I forgot what chapter it's from exactly, but it's sort of after the holy water scene.
..
or, you know he's just shirtless.
And wet.

#Art #3DS: Kiss

Wanted to hold off until Christmas to post this! Since it's sort of... mistletoe-y, yes?

Merry Christmas!

#Sketch: Lips Study

A study of my wife's lips, done on the DS.

Quick Colour: My City

#Edmonton #Alberta 

Speedpaint: VonLansing the Turian

Some @MassEffect inspired art today. I miss my Turian Sentinel. And multiplayer. And Gaming.

I'd say it's a significant jump from previous depictions of him, wouldn't you?

 I love variety!

Speedpaint: School Photo

Well, it's of someone fictional, but that's what it reminds me of, wouldn't you say?

At the Edmonton Expo, I got to watch one of the teachers speedpaint a portrait. I don't know about everyone else, but I love to watch artist's work as it tends to make things "click" faster when I see the process in action! So I decided to give it a try! Ookami up there is my guinea pig since he's my oldest character creation, and it was fun giving him an edge of realism.

I spent a lot of time on this for being a "speed painting"- the problem I run into is that I see the errors along the way so I fret over them. A habit I want to chip away since the urge to fix all the things can be overwhelming! As it is I had to consciously stop myself.

Anyway, already looking forward to the next attempt. Onward!

Speedpaint: Welcome to Silent Hill

A nice place to visit, but...


Done on Nintendo DS using Colours 3D after watching the movie again.

Domestic Bliss

 Based off of this commentary my wife made last week:

"I love the sound of my husband outside mowing the lawn. He always has this look on his face when he catches me watching him. He's really asking "What do you want?" with it, but I imagine it's more like "I can't wait to finish this so I can sit in the grass with you and drink lemonade...

I just wish I was faster at making homemade lemonade and wrestling on the dang Martha Stewart apron and heels. That would make it so much better!"

So standing in for my wife and myself are the two protagonists of our original story "The Refuge" a teeny bit further into the future. This warm up sketch took too long, but I don't mind at all. 

Kevin Zegers as Alec Lightwood

Self explanitory! Sept 19th was Kevin Zeger's birthday, and he plays Alec Lightwood in the upcoming City of Bones movie! I did this to celebrate. I think this is the 8th revision!

Sunset

Tonight it was really neat! Tried to grab my DS to capture the colours in time. I think I did okay!

Spotlight

A sort of conceptual piece for something I tentatively have planned. Imagry is going to play a big role. Not sure if this was a success or not but I know I need to move on to the next piece!

Another painting done on the  Nintendo DS

Cliffside

I'm embarrassed to think about how long it's been since I uploaded to this blog! So I'll just stick to the art.

Painted on my 3DS using Colours!

Exploring spaces

Speedpainting (sort of)

Second pass at exploring a key place for The Refuge. Speedpainting is rather addictive! Once you get the hang of it. The first pass was really pretty... bad.


 ...Oh what the heck take a look at it;

ugly as sin, but we're nothing if we don't appreciate progression!
