Adjustment phase issa bitch...

i thinned the face too much and it lost it's proportions w/ the nose... and the body it was to thin a frame for the head >thank gawd i'm stubborn...and I'm getting some sick enjoyment from this...

character ref: http://www.paperdemon.com/art/view/20673

i dunno i imagined him more serious than she showed him... compared with her descript...

went to gettyimages today for face ref...which was next to impossible to find the one with the right 'feel'...

sketch for a girl friend

This is my friend's character, Ith, a rather gentle soul... but i think i made him just look sappy >So this time around I worked form the reference for the design: http://www.paperdemon.com/art/view/20672 and then went onto corbis for reference for the type of face/build I wished to emulate ('kind','gentle',etc.) and then transferred it to my style...and...here's what happened...which looks like nothing different >< !! Not a HUGE difference, my characture could be played with more in more un-idealized characters (villians, allies, etc. etc.) but now, I must play with the subtleties of the idealized figures... since I have two other of her muses I wish to sketch for her, I'll try to show thier different personalities in thier apperance...
I'm enjoying this mess ;^^
and I must think up C's in my arsenal who would require for distortion from my norm...I got two already...* starts listing*

start job training tmrrws, please wish my luck.

Long time no see!

I was doodling, but didn't have anything particularly note-worthy, but now I may have something.
So I had a discussion with a former imagineer, and he suggested more practice in characature and the like (aminals, scenes, props) I was playing with the nose a bit on this one (which is hardly what he meant >My first graphic novel should be coming out any day now, and I'll have visits to make a packages to send with those...and I'll be taking them to a con to sell<3
have started attempting con trotting for not only networking purposes, but having a form of travel and meeting new people. and by selling art and merchandise, I seem to be able to support the habit. (con moneys are seperate from job moneys *finger shake*) and I'm being very strict and frugal, not spenign unless I have the money available and enough left over ;-_-
the imagineer also mentioned that the life of an artist is hard, and if you can accept that, then you truly love what you are doing, and that is priceless.
anyways,
catch ya soon!
