Look What I Drew Today!

THE ART JAM HAS BEGUN!

Day One: Any character from Futurama. 

I chose Fry and the Planet Express ship. The subject included multiple characters but Fry is my only favorite and I wanted to make a dynamic picture. The first draft was only Fry but he was in a very boring pose and the more I looked at the piece, the more I hated it. I think this one came out great~

I also started working on SOMA again, and I'm going to try to pump out 5 pages by next week, in between the Art Jam pieces. Keep your eyes peeled~

Luffy D. Monkey in his New World outfit~

He had a legs but I decided not to add them. I don't quite know why...laziness, I guess. The shadow is from my phone, by the way.

The second chapter of my story, The Fallen Prince, has been finished. Each chapter takes on a different character's point of view, ala A Song of Ice and Fire, and the character I had written has ended up being my favorite so far. Writing from different perspectives has been pretty easy, I feel. You're not constrained to following one story throughout the entire book, even though every character in this book will eventually cross paths. It's exciting, and I hope that anyone who's reading them likes how it's going.

In the meantime, I'm playing Grand Theft Auto V and it's sucking up all of my time because, well...it's bloody awesome. IV was pretty good, though it definitely had its faults, but V has gone and fine tuned these problems and made a solid game that's been very, very enjoyable.

I'll keep trying to post pieces, but if you don't hear from me...you know why. Oh! and there's an art jam coming up soon so keep your eyes peeled!

Look at what I drew! 9/15/2013

Uzumaki Naruto! He's wearing the Toad Sage costume. I drew him too close to another drawing and got its arm in the way...

I like the inks a lot. The foreshortening on the forward arm came out well, too, but the hand could use some work. The hands always need work. I'll remove floating arm near his leg and color him in soon, then post the final product for you all to see.

Truth be told, this was drawn last week but I didn't plan on uploading any of my pieces until recently. I haven't gotten around to fixing any of the drawings up as of late since I've been busy writing, but I promise I'll get to everything I've done. It's been a very artistic month, I have to say, and I'm happy with how everything has been turning out.

I'm enjoying writing again. I've been spending a lot of my time thinking up plots and characters, and even though I'm revamping an old story it really feels like something new. It's been such a long time since I've even attempted writing a story (at least, in novel form) but the results are awesome.

RE-RE-RE-REVAAAAAMP!

Yes, well I've decided what I should do with this blog.

I wanted to keep this blog as an update into my progress as a freelance illustrator/comic maker, but nothing has come from either of those two things. Don't get me wrong, my comic is still going strong, there's just nothing of interest to talk about on it. Instead, I'm going to post whatever I've been drawing lately and talk about it for a bit. I've been getting back into drawing traditionally and having fun with it and I figured, what the hell, lemme go ahead and post it up here for everyone to see.

Now, I just have to remember to post here...

Look What I Drew: 9/12/2013

A character design for a story I'm writing. It's a fantasy story...truth be told, I've been writing it for years. I actually had it finished a few years back but it didn't really make much sense and was too cartoonish (Dragon Ball Z was a huge influence at the time). Now that I'm older, I really want to give this story another chance, and so far it's been coming out pretty well. 

Anyway, this character is a Cleric. He's, uh...unconventional, to say the least: he's lecherous and is fond of drink, but he's got talent with a sword and is very highly respected in the Chantry (A religious organization that is very integral to the story). I really like the way he came out! He's got a young model look to him, the arrogance of a man who knows his skills and really, really good hair. I think he's going to become one of my favorites.
