I was playing around in Illustrator — I hate digital inking, hehehe. I used this illustrator tutorial from n.design studio as a reference.

Not exactly how I want it, but still…progress? :)

Here’s another piece from the Gathering 2006 art show — Brooklyn…and a bike. :) To make up for the above crappiness, heh.

Here’s a piece I did for the Gathering 2006 art show– I really should update with the pieces I did for that and for AX 06 as well…

:)

Ugh, I am so glad this is over. I’m not exactly happy with it — I would’ve rather have drawn the BG instead of slapping a bunch of suggestive/nude ukiyo-e pieces in the BG, but whatever, it is FINITO!!!! :D

Edit: click the pic for a noncrunchy version ( ie, bigger and clearer)
Edit2: Oh yeah, this is Hishikawa Moronobu from Samurai Champloo. If you’ve seen the episode with him, the pictures and the saying will make sense XD

Howdy folks! It’s been a long, long while since I’ve updated this blog, but I think I need to get cracking again. I’m still working out the bugs and revamping the blog, but nevertheless, I am here! And here’s the latest thing I’ve done art wise — it was a Christmas gift for my best friend’s mom.

I may make it a habit to just take a quick snapshot with a digital camera of any traditional stuff I work on — it ends up being slightly faster, which is kinda sad, since scanning doesn’t take that long, heh. Anyways, here’s hoping to a new, improved and brighter 2008!

Just FYI, I am finally back from the conventions I planned on goign to this year and am in the midst of revamping the site — this will include the look of frosted artlounge and everything too. Got plenty of work ahead of me, but no absolute deadlines — I will be opening up for commissions again too. ^_^

Just some sketches, as usual >:P

I started drawing these chicks, see? And then I smacked some armor on her and I haven’t finished, but I realized that there should be more warrior chicks too, with pretty shiny armor and big weapons, cuz that’s, y’know, very cool and stuffs.

Below is Kaz Kaboom, one of my pirates. This is her gear, her sword, her outfit. I’m not changing it again. I have three more that are pretty much done, but I need to clean them up a bit, plusthey can be used for other days of artage…hehe….

it’s amazing how things will always conspire to keep you from doing things. In any case, school is coming to a close, so things are getting a little hectic. However, there will be a _crapload_ of art coming soon, sicne I will be participating in some art venues at the end of June and beginnng of July. So you should start seeing lots of scketches that deal with the stuff from those events soon, because I refuse to do this stuff last minute, like previous years:]

Anyways, I will post some sketchy crap tonight — I’m currently workin on my computer coloring which has been sorely neglected these few years, so you’ll see a lot of my works in progress. ^_-;; Sorry for the delay in things…

Nothing spectacular tonight, just a couple of random images….of freaky butterflies XD

haaah

Sorry for the mini hiatus — I’ve been sick lately and haven’t felt well enough to get a lot of computer work done — Will update tomorrow with art.

It’s been a busy week, what with exams and quizes and so forth, so I haven’t updated as I had planned. But anyways, here’s something new!:D

I meant to post this yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling too well :/ I have more art — I’m trying to practice releasing all tension and stress through arting as often as possible, so here we go — another sketch of two, though I’m gonna try to finish the gargoyle one…

Gargoyle image…I’m gonna work on my proportions x_X Click for the larger image!!

Random chick. I likeher jacket…I should clean it up and detail it…

If you haven’t heard of it, well, you need to check out the Gathering of the Gargoyles Con which is this summer in Valencia, CA (near Los Angeles). It’s a great con, with great people and lots of fun! Check out the site!

(BTW, this ad was done by Stephanie Lostimolo…)

OK! On to some silly sketches… ^_^

In light of the gathering and all, I did a gargoyle ^_^ There should be more of these soon, since I gotta get back in the groove for gargoyle art…

And CLoud Sultan! Her final look, I am so happy to have found her look, whew. :]

^_^

As I promised…some new junk :D

Click for a much larger version..hehhe…

I really want to digitally paint this thing up — though it would be a huge task and a fierce lesson in digital coloring:P But hey, why not?

I really need to redo this layout — the other was bugging me like crazy, so I just switched to this temporary one until I can design or find a better one for it. Urgh.

On the upside, I am doing more art — I’m hoping to get into some color stuff soon. I may post some really ancient stuff in the meantime, because it’s stupid for me not to update this part of my site more regularly. :P I’m feeling like I’m on the edge of a major epiphany of art (aka, I’ms trangely inspired), so hopefully that will begin to show in what I produce.

^_^

Just a random sketch — did it while watching America’s Top Model XD
