Post Valentine's Day

Original drawing & Ink

Soo, yesterday was Valentine's Day. The day that many couple's love, and many singles despise. I spent my day of love cleaning and, well... finishing this drawing of me and some friends.

Two of my companions are very much in to the new My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and they like to harass a male friend of ours about becoming a brony. Of course he rather dislikes the idea and usually us for picking at him about it. So some months ago I had drawn and inked this picture of the four of us as My Little Ponies, and then promptly forgot about it. But yesterday I stumbled upon it and decided that it could use some color. So I slapped into photoshop and did my own take on the coloring. I thought about making it in the exact style of the show, but then what is the point of having your own style if you don't use it, right?


Coloring it actually took me a bit longer to do than usual because of the whole inner debate I kept having with myself over if I should do it in the style of the show or not. But once I got started, I really liked the marker type effect I started to get and just decided to go with that.

Ya know... I rather like interpreting different shows/movie characters in my own way. Funny how I'm really just now discovering this, lol. 

Plaster Face Paint: Part 2

FINALLY

The finished product of my plaster face painting. Took a bit longer due to everything else I've had to run and get done, but I finally took some time for myself and finished it. I kind of based the designs around masquerade masks and Native American or Hindu face paint. I dremeled two holes in the back of it so I can hang it on the wall. But the thing is, even tho I'm pretty sure that I made the holes pretty straight, I'm have this feeling that they're off center some how.... Guess I'll have to actually hang it to find out.

Plastered Face Paint

So before Thanksgiving I went back to my mom's house for the holiday and upon entering I was hit with a constant stream of "Are you going take some stuff back with you? Cause I'm getting ready to move." So, on my departure I went through my art room (which use to be the guest room) and found an old plaster mold of my face that I did sometime ago.

When I made it I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so it just laid on a shelf, blank and uninteresting. Then I realized "Why don't I just paint the blasted thing?" So I did. Or well, I've started too. Its taking a bit of time since plaster absorbs water like my dog and the only paint I already have on hand is little cheap acrylic bottles from the craft section. I had to use the carving tools to smooth some of the rough spots before I got started, which was really fun in itself. Well, for me anyway since I had a face mask to use. My dog on the other hand seemed to take to the particles like most to black pepper. End result, my feet receiving the periodic mist of doggie snot.

Yeah, it does get kind of hard to concentrate.

In The Future, Mini Comics

Sorry guys, been rather busy with A LOT of different things recently. BUT! On the plus side, it means that I've got much to share with everyone! :D My latest interest revolve around a small inside joke with my friends, where we pretend to act like rich British people. So I wanted to expand on this and make little one shot comics with some of them, each one ending in one of us saying "Indeed".

I'm working on some more of these because I rather like coming up with ridiculous rich people comments that probably only really exist in our own fantasy art world.

Photoshop Antics

While working on my pantamine for character animation class I... Well I just got bored. SO! Since I haven't touched photoshop in a few months, and since I've been on a Powerpuff Girl kick this week, I decided to push up on my painting skills.

These aren't done as of yet, but it was fun noodling, just to keep muh skills up. But feed back, even now would be muchly appreciated. I actually love critiques, it only makes things better. :)


This one if my fav, altho, as I've said before, its not done as of yet. The photo is of me (to the right) and one of my closes friends (on the left) during an art history class.




I wanted to play with a bit of color, so I found this picture of me during the 24 hour Generate competition that SCAD has each year. I'm not sure how many hours of no sleep I was running on at the time, but I'm sure it was close to the end.

This one is ok, but I can't seem to figure out why it's not working as well. Maybe I just need another set of eyes to look at it or something. SO! A critique please would be GREAT!



Another with Blossom will be here soon I hope. Unfortunately I'm a bit picky when it comes to the pictures I choose, so I'll have to satisfy that before I can actually put any PPG within it.
