Cat skull

I'm still alive

Really, just distracted with university deadlines.

I was looking through all my old art yesterday and it got me thinking, not just about how bad it all was, but about how much I loved drawing. Its not that I don't love it anymore, its just been pushed to the back of my mind to focus on getting a degree. But since I'm graduating next year and need to get into, gasp, the real world, I figure I should start making a serious portfolio. So I'm, hopefully, going to get back into drawing all the time over summer and have a lot to show for it.

But in the meantime, here's all my random sketches from the past couple weeks. The blue pencil two are the most recent, then pencil, then red and then pen. Almost all of them are character designs, I guess. Vaguely.

From the last few days

I should really keep this up to date, hm.

Painted this a few days ago in Sai, really like how it came out although it could still use a bit of work to make it more believable.

The next three are some quick concept images for university. I made a couple thumbnails of ideas and took my favorite and drew it out in sai. Kind of like it, think I could do better though.

Tchoki animation

Tchoki animation for Pew 36 competition at university. If I had more time I think I'd make it better.

Sculptris

Playing around more in Sculptris. Found a reference in order to make a better skull, it helped a lot. This one looks so much more real than my first attempt, which was round and barely had cheek bones.

Also made a quick killer whale which I kinda want to take into max and rig, yeah.. fun times.

Got the free trial of Zbrush as well, awesome program but holy shit its complicated. Might take a while to get used to it.
