rough pass...gonna fix it up in the new years

Halloween was awesome!

This was totally fun to do, and many thanks to Zuza for sewing the dress together!

Here is a gallery of the making of and such, and hopefully will one day take the costume outside for photos...with cousins!

Updated Post - Includes process work...

Sorry but....fanart for wow...my paladin in T6, although I can't really claim her anymore since I quit the game.

Anyways, this started out as being only a sketch and was to remain as such. While at work, I noticed on Pete Emslie's blog a post about using a certain type of photoshop brush to paint and given that I had no scanner during the summer...this was one of the only piece scanned well enough to paint....thus became the summer project. Hope to have something soon that isnt WoW to try it on..>.>


Do click to enlarge, otherwise details are all lost....:(
Debating on submitting it to Blizzard fanart at the moment...

Making of it broken down:

Scanned....very unproportional...with that massive arm...



Started to color it based on the generic model viewer colors...very bright!

The pride and joy of this project was the shoulder pads...massive metal glowing reflective shoulderpads...really fun to do with this new technique...



After getting about this far...well...notice the hips are massive! At least for this race...

so they got resized....shoulder pads look weird too but the understructure works....blar silly...
Also realised her ...boob buttons? were looking weird. Actually, I'm not even sure why they are there! They serve no purpose and look silly on a male model.


Also fixed up the colors so that
Point the other way on mighty buttons!



Final Version without the background :)

what not to do...

So I was browsing pictures on zelda wiki and came across this....

um...


What not to do!....missing pants.. (btw BG warpped itself!!)

BOO! after Civic Holiday....

Lack of photoshop means attempt to funkisize art in paint shop pro to depict this story...still not used to the radical brush properties...anyways....

Tuesday, came into work and started to type in my password when lo and behold! THERE IS SOMETHING CRAWLING IN THE KEYBOARD!....after a while it was possible to determine that it was a female ear wig... So i go and beg a can of compressed air from my manager and begin to wage war against the earwig. Doesn't help that our garden got this massive infestation this summer (open the front door, see many crawlies or open the garage door and several fall down onto the car..) ...So the air doesnt work based on the lip in the keyboard but enough aggravation caused her to crawl out and drop to the floor.....i made sure the death was quick...:(

Also discovered that the spider i left alive in my office caught 2 more earwigs in its web this weekend...what in the world? was it a parade? oO they've never had issues before so I hope they weren't brough from home...

Laundry!

So i am at work, with very lil to do ...hail slow days! Fooled around on paint shop pro a bit, but its hard without a tablet....blar...

Here's something that was sketched out ages ago, but never colored. Probably will redo in photo shop..bwahahahaha comparisons!

Sometimes...even lovey dovey things need a wash to freshen it up... or you could just Febreze it...

You dirty rat: Daring rodent shows puzzled leopard exactly who's boss by stealing its lunch

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1190772/What-squeak-Daring-mouse-whos-boss-scares-leopard-steals-lunch.html#ixzz0MfQmeU6g

This mouse took a chance with death when it tucked into the lunch of a hungry leopard.

Seemingly unaware of the beast towering over it, the mischievous rodent grabbed at scraps of meat thrown into the African Leopard's enclosure. But instead of pouncing on the the tiny intruder the 12-year-old leopard, called Sheena, appeared to be afraid of the daring mouse and kept her distance. At one stage she tried to nudge the mouse away with her nose, but the determined little chap carried on chewing away until he was full....

Excuse me?

The little rat - thought to be only two to three months old - was spotted scampering into the leopard's enclosure shortly after feeding time at the Santago Rare Leopard Project, in Hertfordshire.

So intent was the plucky rodent on its mission to snatch a tasty snack, that it seemed not to notice that its path was taking it within a whisker's breadth of 12-year-old Sheena.
Clutching a corner of raw meat with its tiny paws, the rat busily tucked in, until it sensed one of those whiskers moving in.

Sheena, bemused by the interloper coming between her and the remains of dinner, padded over on paws big enough to wreak vengeance with a single swipe.

But rather than giving the thief at very least the hearty set down it deserved, she gingerly lowered her nose for an exploratory sniff.
Rattus paused, lifted its dainty pink claws in submission, then - obviously deciding on a nothing-ventured-nothing-gained approach - continued to tuck in.
And after another tentative investigation, Sheena gave the leopard equivalent of a shrug and turned away.

...but even a gentle shove does not deter the little creature from getting his fill...

...so the mouse continued to eat the leopard's lunch and show the leopard who was boss

For Markboy...

These were supposed to be a set of postcard sized prints done for our 3 yrs anni back in April...sadly the transfer between illustrator and photoshop was done incorrectly....so everything for too muddy for print...oh well...will fix is up one day! Many thanks to Dani help and for the letter Z's bimbo bot...cause i couldnt think of one to save my life (and make the deadline..that i still missed :o)

SCHOOL IS OUT! whooo!!

Hello summer break! Today's the last day of school, and have handed my final piece of work a couple hours ago...whoo!


So I realised there's been nearly no school assignment updates this year, so this post consists of decent ish animations of Sheridan Year 2!

Semester 1:

Walk and Run Cycles


Expression Change


Semester 2:

Human Lip Sync


Muzzle Lip Sync


Beak Lip Sync

Applying life drawing....

Finally got this "quick study" completed...so I can't life draw but applying it is less stressful XD

Painting with a pen tool....

You know, using only the pen tool is fun but takes quite a while...and sometimes the outcome isnt even all that great..which is why the character has been removed..BWAHAHAHAHA..

Painting Assignment

Thought about it...
Decided to post some schoolwork from this semester, although the animations and leica have to wait...need to grab it from school! So for how, have some paintings! This term its a focus on photoshop (noooo!!!!!) which we made 2 grey scales and color tests of a provided lineart...

I think Mike said this layout is from Gargoyles..?

I dont like photoshop....

new semester Oo

must be more diligent this semester...yes....
