Blowdryers study!

ID and still life

Yeah, I totally didn't feel like finishing the hand. Sorry, been very busy lately... Making portfolio and finals and all of that stuff. Applying to internships and jobs.

40 minute fat cat photo study

Fat!

Art dump for the day. I wish I could do this everyday.

Got a master copy, still-life, and another go at a conceptual landscape.

Male character thumbs

Kinda all over the place but, you know!

some more practice environmental speed paints...

45min to an hour each. :/ I figure if I get better at environments, it'll help a lot of things!

stuff

Finished!

This is a resto Troll Druid with race-specific tier armor that I designed.  Full-size for your viewing pleasure. :)

I think it took me about 8-10 hours in photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intuos 4.

A break from WoW painting

Tried out a new style to see if I could reasonably do it. It's a 3Dish concept art.  I call her Moon! xD

Troll Druid progress! :)

More progress on Druid Troll :)

WIP Troll Druid Commission

Anywhere from 4-10 more hours of work, haha.

The Might of Sylvanas

Hey guys, this was my entry for the 2011 Blizzcon fan art contest. I didn't win, but it's okay. I'll try again next year. :)

Armor ideations for Troll Druid heals

 I did some armor ideations in the form of pauldrons and I think I'm going with #2.

I just wanted to get this out on the internet

I had so much trouble finding the answer to this, so I hope when people google search this question that they'll find this blog and thank me!

Gevey sim works with T-mobile on a TETHERED jailbroken iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.5 and firmware 04.10.01 first try.  Don't reboot the phone: just put in your gevey sim (got mine off of eBay for $11 from a guy who sold thousands and guaranteed that it'd work or your money back--it's one where you have to cut a corner off to fit), and wait for the welcome screen and follow the directions.  SMS text messaging, phone calls and everything works.  I haven't tried facetime yet, but I don't really care about that.

Anyway, there you go, T-mobile iPhone users.

Blood elf Spriest commission progress & industrial design stink bug ideations (lol)

Working on another commission (same girl who commished the goblin)..she is lucky because I'm giving her a free bg on this one, too. I did some compositional thumbnails this time. Not sure why I've never done them. I picked lower middle, but upper right seems to have potential in another drawing.

10-15 min Speed-painted concepts for ID

Field of Lights

Light Fountain.  The water should have been a bit less 'splashy' I guess :( 

Glowing biodegradable mesh traps with water (or not?!)

 

Unfortunately I don't get to draw everyday

If you can't tell, baha.  The only time I get to draw is when I'm working on commissions, so the only things I'll post are probably commissions.

Improved WoW Commission couple

Shy undead and flirty blood elf pseudo-lovers.  Also with little cowering imp at feet.

From pencil to photoshop

I did this painting for a class Saturday after the next where I'll be teaching concept art/digital painting for 3D club.  I know, I know, what I'm doing is 2D stuff, but trust me, you don't want to be designing your character in a 3D program. 3 hours, 30 minutes total.

3rd Environmental landscape

1 hour, 20 mins.

First DoA Commish

2nd environment landscape

1-1.5 hr because I had a lot of trouble with left building.

first environment speed paint practice, 1 hr

Placeholder

With my entry:

"Sylvanas stands on a rocky pedestal in New Agamand (post-cataclysm), surrounded by her loyal, reanimated minions with mementos of her past both held in her hand and placed near her feet.

Sylvanas is an icon of success, strength and perseverance from impossible odds, and her story is intertwined with my own family story. In this painting, Sylvanas reflects my parents, who overcame great odds to come to America after being chased away from their homeland. From the strength and support of others, my parents are able to give me the future they never got to have.

Although Sylvanas bears mementos of her past, she recognizes the need to move forward in order to lead her people toward prosperity."

Blizzcon Entry

so slow. Going to do character thumbnails first next time.

I am just terrible with faces and bodies and everything.  Need more practice!
