Color Art: Page 8

What happens when I dig through drawers and unpack boxes that have been sitting around for nearly 6 months? I stumble upon a pic I had given up on. The master image (Which I may clean up and finish) was done as a random doodle during a Geology class about a semester ago. I light-boxed it, tracing it onto three different pieces of card stock. Then came the watercolor job. I scanned them and edited the whole thing in Fireworks 4.
Why all the work? Because it's cool. And because I felt I should get to many of the things I've been putting off for too long. Many a project needs finishing and this was the first. A side note: This will be used for my gaming system's background. That comp is called Draco, hence the name for the piece. I may do a few touch-ups and flip the image for a proper wallpaper. May post it here. Enjoy.

What? Unemployed already? Damn, that was quick. o.@
You just can't draw new characters these days. -.-
Oh well... This image was pretty fun to draw. That and I'm actually starting to use Fireworks to do more than before.

I liked this. Sat down last night around 2am and drew two of my Neopets. The original sketch was saved, inked, and colored.
This needs to be seperated and a background in the worst way. o.@ Someday... someday...

For Vermilion for getting that oh-so magic number damn near a year ago.
I finally finished the pic I promised and I have to say it came out really friggin' cool. Unfortunately, the scanner ate the watercolors alive but the color pencils came through pretty good. The pose is cool though I feel it and the hand need work. Of course, if I nit-picked any longer I probably would have never finished it. o.@
The watercolor leaves that are coming through in the foreground were fun to do. I light tabled them using a mag light and a steady hand. Proof that, if you can McGuyver stuff together, you don't need expensive equipment.=P
Once again, sorry for the lateness on the pic Verm. But, like all the gifts I do, I had to make it as badass as I could.

My mischievous meerkat which folks seems to really dig. This time, he's updated and closer to the style I use currently versus the style in the Name Animation.
You will see more of him, I promise you that.
