I'm trying to get the cute animals a little closer to my normal style, so it doesn't look like there are two different artists on my convention panels. I think that this may be a little more effective than the previous try.

Since I put up progress shots last night, it's probably appropriate to do it again. Tomorrow's going to be really busy at this rate, since I still have to do gobs of matting, which is hard on my back and my brain, and usually makes me want to cry a little. Hopefully I don't have to go buy matboard. I think there's still some behind the bed somewhere.

Remember this thing? Well, I've finally gotten back to work on it. I've printed out and elaborated on the linework (which should be shown here, but which I've accidentally saved over. This is a not terribly well advised piece I hope to finish by Windycon. Otherwise known as Friday.

Though I did try to do some of them as quickly as possible to see if I could stay acceptably on model. Where that was possible, that is.

Slowly teaching myself sequential stuff. This is practice work for a project that may or may not pan out, but it does at least amuse, and now I can draw 25 of the same character.

( so many Genjis )

Not doing much art these days, and what I've been doing has been practice stuff. Going through another or the same case of the hacks and not content with much. I did fix an old Judith and Holofernes sketch from ages ago and transfer it to Claybord, though. Thinking of trying it in tempera or tempera grassa with oil glazes over it (if I still have any oils) or maybe just tempera and tempera grassa.

Just got my contributor's copies of Hellas(ancient space Greeks!), and boy are they pretty. This is the shiniest RPG I've seen in a long time.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page here, you can see a prelim version of some of the stuff I did. The finals are black with glowy red outlines on black, rather than black on red as shown there.

This one's been in the works for well over a year, but I've finally gotten the RAM and the energy to finish the linework. It's been printed out on a nice piece of watercolor paper and awaits coloring, which probably won't happen today. ( Pygmalion and Galatea )

It's been a while since I've painted much of anything. I'm getting back in practice tonight, and trying to see how quickly I can turn out a really simple digital piece from heavy photo reference. No content here, just a pretty lady. ( Nude female, French postcard style - not work safe )

Feeling a bit down and aimless lately, so I've amused myself by drawing ( cute faeries. )
