Icicle

Well, it's been surprisingly cold a few days ago. Freezing my ass off was kind of an inspiration to finish the sketch I've already posted, so here's the result :)

Some sketches

Some not so special stuff I managed to squeeze in next to my horrible schedule. I suck.

Plus, I hate the dress on the last WIP, I'll be changing that as soon as I get some time.

Greebo, finished

"Greebo turned slowly, a faint, lazy smile on his scarred face. As a human, his nose was broken and a black patch covered his bad eye. But the other one glittered like the sins of angels, and his smile was a downfall of saints. Female ones, anyway. Greebo broadcast a kind of greasy, diabolic sexuality in the megawatt range. Just looking at him was enough to set dark wings fluttering in the crimson night."

Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

Well, here he is, at last. Human Greebo. I've never drawn something so sleazy in my life, and I've probably never had so much fun doing it. :)

Back home

Back from my trip. I had the most awesome time ever, but now it's real life time again. Here's a 2 hr warmup to get things started. I can't find the link to the original image, but I didn't do it justice, as usual.

No time...

Sooo, my huge-ass trip is coming soon, and I am too nervous and too busy to do some serious drawing, I guess. I started working on Greebo from Terry Pratchett's books (human form), I hope I'll manage to finish him before I leave, even though I'm not so sure. Here's the progress so far...

Also, here's a cca 2 hour practice from today. I can't believe I had to redraw the proportions three times. I'm getting too used to Photoshop for my own comfort. I need more pencil practice, I guess...

Gandalf sketch

Gandalf "quick sketch"? Does three hours count as quick? Not really? Ah well, anyways, here's Gandalf. :)

Trinquette...

Done for the latest Trinquette Weekly Challenge. Of course, I have no idea if it'll get accepted in the first place. I even have no idea if posting it before the challenge poster chooses which one he'll publish on his page breaks some kind of a challenge rule, but life's all about living on the edge. :P

Anyways, I have no idea if I'm happy with this or not. I'm happy with the fact that I didn't hide body parts, for once, but the feet, my god, the feet. Are. So. Awful.

Secondly, wow, I can't paint environments.

Thirdly, wow, I can't paint. The figure itself is OK-ish, I guess, but I think I messed up the reflected colors, half of the time I didn't even know what I was doing.

And I need to start using textured brushes and delete the I'll-just-click-and-have-a-perfect-ivy-over-there brush, this was crap.

Anyways, a learning experience, that's for sure.
