Look What I Drew! 09/02/2014

I can't believe I forgot to post this.

It was day 6 of the Art Jam: bounty hunters. I knew I wanted to do an anime character so I decided to go with Yoko from Gurren Lagann. The original piece was terrible: a rushed traditional piece where the proportions and body type were way off. I wanted to redo it and this is the final result which I'm quite happy with.

I've been drawing somewhat recently, but definitely not how I should be. I think I burned out and the stress of trying to finish Queen's Quartz made me shy away from it. I know it's not an acceptable reason to stop working, especially since that would never fly professionaly, but it's what happened and I'm working through it.

In the meantime I've been working on sketches here and there, trying to get back into the groove. I missed my deadline for QQ but I'll still be working on it. I at least owe everyone that much.

I do love me some One-punch Man.

So I feel like writing a fantasy comic.  I love swords and sorcery, the outfits are always so awesome and I just always wanted to write one, so I think I'm gonna do it. I know I haven't worked on my first comic in a while, but I'll get there.

Anime NEXT is this weekend and I'm gonna go for a day. I miss conventions and this is probably going to be the only one I'll attend this year since Otakon is too expensive and not enough of my friends can go. It sucks because I didn't go last year and I really, really miss it. There isn't anything else like going to a con and seeing people who love what you do having a great time.

Next year, for sure: I'll go.

Quick art request for a pal on Google +: Lelouch from Code Geass.

Been listening to a lot of old JROCK albums lately, since I'm working early Saturday mornings each week. I decided to put on Hyde's Faith album and man, I loved the shit out of it. I feel like it's been forever since JROCK was a big part of my life, even though it's only been a few years since all the good bands disbanded. There's only about 5 bands I follow anymore, and just barely. Kinda sad, but that's a sign of the times, I guess.

My tablet pen's battery died so I can't work on anything digital unless I hit the desktop again which frankly is a hassle. It takes AAAA batteries so I'll have to get a rechargeable one... I'm not wasting  my time buying a butt load of batteries for one tiny pen.

Oooh, I wanna see X-Men: Days of Future Past. I know it deviates from the comics but dammit, I wanna check it out.

Apparently Sailor Moon is still very, very popular. The feedback on this piece has been pretty positive, so it's going to get the full color treatment. I do have to fix her left eye but other than that it's a win!

Working on a new piece!

In sketch mode now. I'm waiting for a new brush pen to come in so I can start inking.

May the 4th be with you.

Been drawing a lot of Naruto fanart lately. The Manga has been so good, I can't help myself.

I'm going to be working on my comic again, very soon. It's been on the back burner for way too long and I miss it. I'm going to make some changes to my routine, however: I won't be coloring the pages anymore. It takes too long for just one person, considering I have to plan and execute the pages.

Also, I'm not going to put a lot of details in the panels like I did before. I want to keep things simple and focus more on the characters and the story rather than what's going on behind them; it's just not that important in every panel. The quality of art will stay the same, if not improve since I've been working on my style a lot more lately.

I can't wait to get Chapter 5 out. I do also want to write a Chapter 0 to set up the beginning of SOMA since I feel I rushed into the story.

I just ate dinner and I'm so full.

I'm going to have a lot of free time tomorrow so I'll be able to finish a couple of drawings for the Art Jam. It's gonna be a rather productive week and I'm happy about that. It feels like it's been a while since I've had a good reason to draw.

I'm still trying to get Freelance work. As a matter of fact, I was invited to join a new art portfolio site called Dropr. It's pretty cool so far; has a few kinks to be worked out but for the most part it can be a very solid site.

To pair with yesterday's drawing, I have Naruto in his new Sage mode. I really love what's going on with the Manga lately. I've been following the Big 3 (One Piece, Bleach, Naruto) for years but I've been following Naruto the longest. It's hard to believe I've been reading it for 11 years... And it's going to end soon. Pretty crazy how long it's been in my life.

Feeling pretty exhausted today so I haven't started the drawings for the Art Jam yet. Don't worry: once I do, they'll go up immediately. I've neglected this blog far too long, mainly because the hard drive of my laptop died and I've been dependent on my phone for the Internet. It hasn't dawned on me to download Blogger, but it's definitely much easier to post on this blog now. I would normally go to Deviantart but their app sucks... How am I not able to post art from my phone yet? It's absurd.
