Orange Eyes Tower

Squatty

Surly creature, sitting on a hummock.

Monolith Island

Argh, I missed a day yesterday, my first yet since I resolved to do one every day. It hasn't been a good time for picture-making again, what can I say? This is old again, sadly. My clock turned 12:01, so I guess I missed today too! Drat.

Zardtower

Tininess for today. I am trying to learn something from a friend's example, I don't think I did.

This is one of the many homes of the insect emperor.

ZX fan art

This is an acrylic on wood panel painting of ZX I made for Helm for Christmas...I totally forgot to mail it, and I just found it again now.

Beige Kobold

Another old, but not very old, piece of art, until I get settled at home again. I frequently draw dog-headed kobolds, but rarely get close to the way I picture them in my head. This one is far too gentle-looking, but I like how it came out anyway.

Garbage Astronaut

Another one of...these, things.

Clusterhouse 1

I'm on the road so here's a thumbnail drawing made in a car, scanned with my webcam, and coloured with the mouse...I'm making due, anyway.

Rockish Dwelling

Another old one, I made this very late once night, after coming home from a party. I was in a hurry to jot the idea down, I suppose.

Clerk Lady

Had a bad night for art-making so I'm posting something very old.

Rough Paintings

Something even rougher than usual today: these are a bunch of little thumbnail concepts for something I may or may not be working on.

CRAB PEOPLE.

This concept is mostly just a goofy experiment with textures. Still need to learn to polish my work more, but right now I'm trying to avoid art atrophy mainly. Artrophy.

My New Year's resolution was to increase my art-making as much as possible this year. For a while it was going alright, but then I fell into kind of a slump. Something like a blog should at least be an outlet but its useless if I don't nurture it, so I'm going to try and make more roughly finished art for it.


Its difficult to tell if you've learned much without trying to draw something human every once and a while. In this case it doesn't feel like I've leveled-up since the last time I tried, but at least its something. I'm also trying to make my computer paintings less muddy. Its not an easy thing, I find my hands always trying to blend colours but if I do it just ends up a mess.

Obole-Dobole

Hello,

So.

Inaugural post! I'm making a blog here, for some of my artstuff. Mostly digital since that's the easiest to put up. I'm hoping having a place to put it will motivate me a bit to finish the odd pieces of art I start and this will be the dumping ground for those.



So here is a thing I drew today. This kind of fudgy creature is the subject matter I default to. Not sure where I got the habit but it certainly has some kind of hold on my subconscious. It's based on an old drawing in my notebook, which I drew after having a nightmare. This guy wasn't in the nightmare, he just reminds me of something that was. If you're wondering, that neck brace thing is to replace where bits of his shell have fallen off. The gesture is because he's explaining something.

I feel a great deal of uncertainty when I draw, even something goofy like this, every line feels wrong. One nice thing is that, not being a human being, I don't agonize so much over things like hands. I should anyway, I'll learn eventually.
