Opps

Well it has been a while....
All I can say is well its been a weird old time, had my contact increased at work, then got bill from council for crazy amount of money, having hormone troubles again, gas bill came and I turned 25
Now I know turning 25 is no big deal but for me it is, my siblings were all settled down married with kids by my age, several friends are getting married this year and next (several younger than me), and several with babies on the way, and I'm still the same way in the same job trying to save each month and failing. I know this blog isn't for this stuff but I need it somewhere or I'll go mad. I just want my life to start now.
Anyway art is been slow, been experimenting with ink shading (only using photoshop to colour not add tones) the test is above (full version on DA). And have been painting again so getting there.

I like colours..

Well here is June..I think the weather is looking a bit glum today ah well. But since its June it means sale with means too much stock for our store to take with leaves me this mourning not able to lift my forearms with out them aching. But apart from that things are ok, the same usual problems but we have a roof over our heads.
Art wise a bit all over the place I'll admit currently I'm having modes when I can produce several sketches at once then other evenings with my sketch book on lap unable to put ideas to paper.
But have been productive either way on the left is a close up of a a3 creature concept for a role playing game, the larger versions are on my DA. These I did using 2 different coloured pencils, as a way for me to break out of how I usually do things, this is turn became several character head shots and several other concept sekcthes. Below is what I'm currently working on, yes I've gone back to digital but I wanted to colour this image badly. I had worked on this several months ago however the colour scheme wasn't working and more pressing work came forward. However I was searching my files the other day and tort I would give her another good, now my changing her colours to vivid pinks and purples the dragon warrior suddenly keeps drawing my attention, so hopefully I'll finally get

her done soon :D

Summer!

Well it looks like the summer has finally reached Derby! So heres a sample of my beach girl (full version http://emilialys.deviantart.com/#/d2opoko) to lighten the mood. Things starting to get a move on this month, well apart from housework, but more hours at work council stuff sorted and started painting again!
Unfortunately due to sketching madness now have a huge back log of sketches and works to finish digitally so while everyone is enjoying the sun I'll be indoors with my mac. Good Times.
Currently working on colouring a D&D orc named Gretta, then its on to the second part of the city folk works then the dragon people.
