Still alive, but barely! I've come down with a monster cold/laryngitis type thing that has basically kept me in bed and unable to speak since yesterday afternoon. It's 8pm and I am finally able to get out of bed without dizzy spells-- yay for progress!

Good news: I got accepted to do my internship at Gogii games!! THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I wish I had the energy (or voice) to celebrate but keyboard smashing and smiling like an idiot will have to do for now: zhjagfjsdhgkjdfzhgfkADgdahfgzridhlf'l;l;kj!!

...So, before attacking the massive mountain of work I need to get done (gotta love finals!), I thought I would update with the very little sketches I have accumulated in the last week:

Some handssss

Some headsssss

Sketch for a painting I want to start soon.Will involve jellyfishes and pretty colors. I really need to re-unite with my tablet and painting, I'm missing it so much! :c

Finally here's something I painted for a huge "self-promotion" project about a month ago. I went with a knight theme as a general idea for all my promotional tools, because well I'm just geeky like that and it makes me happy. 8D I also made an online portfolio through DeviantArt! (Not a fan of how little freedom there is with the template, but very nice looking and super simple to make nevertheless.)

I actually cannot believe we're already halfway through November! The freakishly warm weather isn't helping, but hey no complaints.

Sooooo still not much from me, I am very blah in the non-college-related art department these days, I've caught my first cold of the season (which is odd because usually I get them in September, without fail), and it's hit me hard! I had a fever for the first time in years, was literally unable to speak for a day, I still sound like a 12-year old boy going through puberty, and I am sooooo run down. Whenever I have free time I just want to spend it sitting around aimlessly and not do anything with my life. Or sleep. ;w; Beautiful, beautiful sleep.

I did push myself to do some (very very) quick sketches. That's pretty much all I have the energy and time to do these days...

blablabla naked people

Max looking at a sword(?), Kyte and Ve'yan being cold because I was cold, two mystery chicks. I don't really know where I'm going with my style anymore, it's like half of me draws realism then the other is like anime? cartoons? ok, but somehow I just don't really care anymore. :|

This is actually a remake of an old sketch I used to really like, from a few years ago. Still experimenting with the colors, but I think I might paint this soon! Also, digital linearting: you are not nearly as terrible as I remembered. 

Another super busy week done! I've been feeling sick a lot though, first I missed my family's Thanksgiving dinner because of some weird headache/nausea attack, and then over the last two days I've been having some weird indigestion/stomach flu type thing... egggggh. And still not much time to draw, but I'm going to try and draw something everyday! Even if it's super quick and small, I'mma do itttt >:|



So, this week I started with quick 30 sec - 1 minute poses, and in pen, which is new for me... no erasing!

Also this week, my Jessica painting was rejected in a group on Deviantart that I always submit my paintings to and get accepted. I was suggested to submit it to the intermediate/novice category, which includes pictures drawn in MS Paint. I know I shouldn't let myself be bothered by this, but it is a bit of a reality check-- I need to work harder, and I will be doing more studies. :< I'm also hoping to make a sketchbook thread on ConceptArt.org soon, I was going to wait until next year when college would be out of the way, but the sooner I can get better crit on my work the better.

That said, here's WIP of a painting I started this week! No character in particular.

Nothing much this week! I've been pretty lazy in my time off. Finally finished my second Dragon Age 2 playthrough and I now totally want to play the DLC Legacy, but college is so soon, hnnnnnnnnng. D: I'd start a 3rd playthrough, but I finished pretty much all the quests available (other than two of them that were glitched), so there's not much point other than to romance the rest of the characters/try the warrior class.

Random sketches:

So I totally re-watched episodes of Card Captor Sakura in french to relive my childhood this week. It is ridiculously hard to find the episodes, but I found an amazing french site that streamed them all... too bad after ep20 the links are broken. ;_; I might re-read the manga, but it's not quite the same...

Life drawing has been moved to sunday afternoons, which means I may not be able to go to it anymore, I am saaaaaaaaaaad. It's all going to depend on what my schedule is going to be like! I've been trying to do more studies at home instead of always relying on going to the sessions. So have a Rihanna.

Finally, another reason I've been sketching less, is because I've been working on this! Basically what I posted in my last update, but actually painted. I'm unsure about her anatomy though... still a lot of tweaking left to do. 

College starts wednesday, heeeeere we go again...  but I'm actually starting to look forward to it now. C:

I've been a little busy lately, haven't had much time to draw. I'm trying to make the best of my last two weeks of vacation, so I've been going to the beach/doing outdoorsy things whenever I have time off. ... but today is hurricane Irene day! We're not getting it too bad so far, usually by the time hurricanes hit the maritimes they're pretty weakened, but I really hope our power doesn't go out... because that would suck. )8 Though I'm almost grateful for the rainy day, because I finally got the chance to thoroughly clean my room... yeah the place was ridiculously messy.

More linearting/inking practice! I really want to improve on that, so my traditional coloring doesn't look like an 8-year old did it. :'D New character concept, she's some sort of royal advisor type character so far.

Random sketch with weird proportions! I had some kind of alternating design idea going on there. Once again total comfort zone material.

Also a new character, well, she existed before but I brought her back to life (... I do that a lot as you may have noticed). Same role (or almost) but new design, new personality, new background etc.  I think I'm going to paint this very soon... so this is kind of a WIP, basically I just picked her colors. 

I have a bunch of painting ideas floating around right now @w@
