I put together a progress pic of all of the different versions of my texture painting for the bookcase – all in all I think this is about a week’s worth of painting >.<;
I love looking back over my finished projects – you can almost see the cogs in my brain [...]
EDIT – forgot to say! The top square is the size I painted it at and the lower square is the size that’s actually used on the model ^_^
OK so this might make up for yesterday’s cop-out post of non-current artwork. I just finished this texture paint which has not only taken today to complete, [...]
Not really new, but as I hinted at bits of it as I was working on it last year, I thought it would be good to put a link to the final version up at some point (drawing a ton last year that I never uploaded at that time can count for today’s drawing, right? [...]
30 mins, reffed from http://x-horizon.deviantart.com/art/Red-Stairs-don-t-Cry-29741123
Wow, that was my longest break ever from DD I think ^^; ~says sorry to self~ But I have been working hard on arty stuff – just 3D rather than 2D ^^ (plus, I killed my shoulder muscles using the tablet for long hours in a crap position so I couldn’t [...]
Would you believe these were copied from an anatomy book? Looks like I lost all ability to simply copy something and have it stay in proportion when I did these >.<;
Profile views of the human head are a real bane of mine tho – I’ve never really clicked with them and mine usually come out [...]
Studies for modelling…I hate thumbs >.<;
I’m afraid a lot of the stuff from me this week is going to be topology-based. I’m working really hard to improve my female base body model so have no time for drawing anything that isn’t related to that at the moment ^^;
Also, I’ve got a lot more movement in my shoulders now (yay!), but [...]
Studies of poly flow in the torso for 3D modelling…I get the feeling I’m going to need to do a lot more of these before I understand the topology completely ^^;
Just a couple of points to iron out and I’ll be all set to do the turnarounds for this guy to model him from!
Initial ideas for the blacksmith character’s outfit. He’s going to be big, burly and old, with a giant beard and a utility kilt! (I can’t wait to make a character who wears a utility kilt 8D )
I had it in mind to design a blacksmith as my second character to model, but I also brainstormed some other random ideas in case anything jumped out at me…tho nothing really did, some of these are just a bit silly XD
These are my front and side views to model from. I’ll try to remember to post a pic once she’s all 3D-ed up ^_^

Haven’t quite decided on her final outfit yet. I’m liking the middle corset and boots actually, but will be getting a second opinion before moving on ^^
Next up for her should be the front and side views for me to model from. I’ve got an idea of the colours I’ll [...]
Second page of thumbnails for my pirate captain character. Just got to pin down her outfit, then I can draw front and side views to model from ^_^
Sorry for missing a few days ~says mainly to herself~
(erm…I haven’t posted in a while, so here, have an essay ^^; )
It turns out that spending an entire week furiously trying to learn to paint textures by re-doing things over an over again until they look better is good for learning painting…but 8 hours a [...]
Some wood I painted as part of a texture I’m working on for a 3D model of an old bookcase. Turns out it doesn’t work very well as a texture so I’m re-doing it, but I still kind of like it (plus it took ages to paint o.o; )
45 mins, no ref link tho
oo… nearly half way through the perspective paints! wow it takes a while to do a series of 50!
Urgh, spent too long on this one, had 1 or 2 false starts as well…bleh. But I guess its the pushing on thro the difficult ones that makes you improve…come on then [...]
35 mins
Hmm…second sci-fi pic with a road as the main focus…must try to think of something different next time. Don’t really like this one at the moment, would like to do something a bit less wonky and more balanced next time…I guess I’m still coming to terms with speed painting something random without any refs [...]
