Birthday!

So yeah yesterday was my 27th birthday! To celebrate I found this old ink sketch of red pyramid and decided to colour him in. As I stated in previous posts I've started breakfast projects this has become my birthday resolution! So watch this space! again!
On another note been working for 6d6 doing illustrations for a upcoming lovecraft project check there website here http://6d6rpg.com/

Very sketchy!

Well I have been sketchy! Started a new way of thinking of all my stockpiles of old art.
Breakfast projects!
Rather than waste my time surfing the net (mainly cracked.com) I will spend my time working on things that need finishing.
And so far its been a success (left is the coloured pockets)

Am hoping his is a turn around for me, have already finished two more pieces today which I will post about after my birthday and have based coated 7 more halflings to add to the adventure collection so watch this space!

 

Sketchy sketchy

Been sketching away this weekend, just some little doodles on the side of work to help me relax. 
Here's "pockets" my rp character for sundered skies on A5.

Back from the shire 2012

Crazy crazy stuff again!! it seams whenever I state that this will be updated more often life takes over :S

Well first

Wales was great! Weather was awful but was wonderful being able to see and catch up with my family and my friends. However did manage to miss the birth of my new nephew Ellis by 3 days but ah well :) 
The second week of holidays was slightly ruined by the bad weather as the boat trip had to be canceled, however did spend a relaxing time at home and went on several day trips with my partner. 
Second amount of crazy 
wedding planning as kicked in to motion, flowers ordered now, hopefully rings next month. Crazy.
Third
Doctors! gahhhhhh! less said the better
 Art- with all the crazy most of my drawing time has been spent trying to get work done for 6d6, and portfolio printed and sent. Although in terms of personal work have completed some rp work, and started work on some re-designs on a RP setting my partner and myself are working on for savage worlds.
Also started an etsy store (will link when its ready and running) to sell some of my old paintings.

Back

Hiya been on away on holiday! will post this evening with updates :D

Where have I been and what I've done

Well its been a while.. So what have I been doing-

Well a lot! 

We have brought the house and now happily settled in, I've tried, fitted and brought my wedding dress, started gathering other little bits and bobs for the wedding. And two major big things...We now have this little bundle of fluff and licks called Bodie! A little black tom cat who is a lot bigger than this picture already.
The other big news Is that I'm now working as an artist for 6D6, its currently free work in my spare time from my day job but worth it. Some previews of the work we're doing will be out in the next few weeks.
                                                                    

 So as you can imagine between Sale prep at work, moving house, wedding planing, kitten and doing work for 6D6 (will be able to show work soon) I haven't had much time for my own work and projects, however have managed to sneak some in. Been using our RP sessions to sketch and breakfast time to colour will be posting a new gallery on my DA with all of these soon. One that I'm pleased with is lost in the woods (right) It started as a A5 sketch of the girl and turned in a small piece. (Click for larger view).

A view bits of bobs on the way my current break time/breakfast time picture is for our current D&D campaign, its a picture of my character (a halfling bard) Cherry's parents featuring a baby version my character. Here is the sketch so far, hoping for some extra exp for this...

So..

So here we are again.
I say sorry for being away.
But I HAVE A HOUSE! Yeah I have a good reason this time, myself and my partner have brought a house (moving in 2 weeks time) so its all go at the moment. That mixed with the hormone treatments, work and writing game systems means been little time for art or relaxing at all!
But it is happening and currently working on project I can't talk about yet but very exciting!  
However in my own project time have been working on mainly role playing based work, see my DA for recent character artworks, been doing species sample pages for NeoHorror, and the road to adventure project!
The road to adventure is a series of small sketches on A5 (3 characters a page) showing when all pages linked together a adventuring party consisting of halflings.  Have drawn 9 characters altogether and started on the "evil" party (also halflings). The first 3 can be seen here

Things be changing

Well now there is a reason I've been away and its not laziness....

Me and my partner are buying a house :)  

So far so good, just  going through the paper work and fingers crossed will be moving in to our own home in the next few months.

So lots of changes over the next few months, with house, starting proper plans for wedding and art!

Started selling some button heart canvas here  

and also commissions.

Have lacking with personal projects due to retail work load, but have managed to get my side project the revamp of the Neo horror poster done (left) and a few doodles coloured (below) 

Currently working on a character piece will update soon :)

Well..

Well its been a while ..again.
But well they know whats wrong now and I really don't mind sharing its how I get my mind around it. I have a Prolactinoma, its a non-cancerous tumor living in my brain.  What it means its a life on meds, with possible scary side-effects but hey well that's life.
Starting after Christmas so at least my family wont have to deal with a crazy lady, which reminds me I am actually going back to wales this year! Only for 3 days but its 3 days with my family made even more specially since I found out I'll going to be an auntie again
As you can imagine with everything going art has been pretty slow. Done a few sketches, working on several pieces and made a few canvas's for Christmas presents. 
Also got a paid commission on the go which has cheered the mood a bit Its pony based but going to be fun, speaking of which got a view test prices below anytakers?

Single character aka pony pic (see below) $10
Print of above posted to you  $15

Off

Off to Wales see you next week!

Dr. Sketchy mark 2

Attended Dr. Sketchy again, this time at Derby Quad with Yvash and Aaron Murphy. Like last time had a great day! It was so nice and relaxing drawing in a group again, and the Halloween theme raised everyone's spirits. Left is a collection of sketches from the day ranging from 5 to 15 mins, the one on bottom right I even won a prize for :). For the day I used a mixture of materials pencil, pen, chalk, and watercolour pencils.

In other art news not much, well I say not much. Still working on colouring the reworked NeoHorror poster, around half way done. The real problem with it is I have to colour every character separately which takes time, but hopefully the end result will be worth it :)
Have also been working on 4 character designs for my partner, based on characters he is writing several short stories about.
Below is some more from Dr. Sketchy full versions on my DA

More monster fun

Another little monster her name is Violet. I personally don't think she came out as nice as Max but o well. This monster was a completely digital one oppose to Max which I worked from a basic pencil sketch.

here be monsters...

Well its been a busy week started a new fitness kick, lost 2 pounds when I was last weighed on Sunday so waiting to Saturday to see If I have lost anymore fingers crossed..
And apart from that MONSTERS! Be entered into the Lets Draw Monsters new mascot contest so here's my entree Monster Max! The conditions for contest was cute and simple so I hope he'll win the judges over with that cheeky grin. This was a redo of a piece I did on Tegaki recently, and drawing in photoshop cs2.
In other art news have completed my resent commission to do a series of pieces illustrating a short story, did 10 A3 paintings although but have chosen to redo one of them as I have a spare 3 weeks before deadline. So now with those projects out of the way time to return to the poster project!

Tegaki

Joined Tegaki E to see what all the fuss was about and was.. surprised. The interface and principle is simple, a forum/blog using pictures any skill level any subject. So far have not got involved in the community but enjoying the simple tools ( the lack of layers can get frustrating) but to quickly spring out ideas and sketches its a lot of fun. Going to use the site for ideas and also testing my skill at fast digital images and creating work without the safety net of a layer of pencil line art.(left)
In other news still working on the "man who painted the world" illustrations decided to add one more imagine to the piece, thus now just two more paintings to go.
Also completed the rough pencil sketches of the re-do of the Neo-horror poster from 1998-0, and working on several cute monster designs for the lets draw monsters logo competition (left)

Old work...

This week working on commission for the excellent Spekti working on several A3 illustrations in indian ink and  watercolour. Only 2/3 more to go!
Also taking a break from said project (deadline end of the month) to work on a commission from a friend, and also reworking a poster I made back when I was 14! In 12 years I hope ive improved :s, thus challenge to re-do the poster (extract left), so here goes...

Well im back again, was I away? I sure felt like it apart from facebook, and minecraft I've not been very net social (strange since im on here at least once a day) reason I'm not quite sure. Been down lately and been back to hospital to find I need to keep going back :s, tired from work all the time and just general feeling a bit fed up.
But am coming back got a illustration project for a friends film on the way, a few commissions and some fun stuff here soon! But over the next few weeks  I will be uploading more work such as left a sketch I did at Dr.Sketchy notts.

But these past few months well.. turned 26, went on holiday, traveled back and forth from Wales and of course RP Mouse (bottom left) is from the Red Dwarf rp and Bray (bottom middle) is a continuation of the fantasy portraits I have been working on. And  the other mouse picture (bottom right) well thats for mature audiences...

 

July!

 

I can't belive July is already here and already half way though! Although it does mean sale will be over soon so will hopefully have time off soon :)
Would like to report the weather has been beauitful but this is Great Britain with the great British weather :s So rain all the way.
Been fairy busy with sale, medical and social things, but have manged to get some art work done. My partner has started running a new fantasy themed role play, and thus I have been working on Georgian style portraits of all the player characters, left is my character the Lady Eleanor Moran a dragon mage, below left is Skyre the ships first mate plated by Robin Smith ,  right Elan Longbow Lady Moran's loyal centaur bodyguard. These were small A5 sketches coloured in Adobe Photoshop.
Got several more of these to go when I have the time, got several non-personal projects I need to finish first.
Have also managed to do some ink paintings  of ...............man-eating turnips!!! Yes I know its strange

 

 but its true! been doing some creature concepts in ink and watercolour for a comic I'm working on, its a odd fantasy setting and the man-eating turnips are a roaming monster. Below is part of one of the designs click the image to see the full version and have more here .
