Owls 'n Bats

Shirt for woot.com derby. Apparently 3 days after the theme announcement is a super late time to be submitting things, so it's destined to fail, I'm afraid.
6 colours on navy, I could probably make all the black areas navy and it would look pretty good as a 5 colour too though. May look good on black as well.
Miiight print this myself after they let go of the rights after 60 days, looks like a pain to separate and base though.

Long Weekend Late post

This week's update will be mondaaayyy as I will be out of town all weekend for Canada thanksgiving.

Sharkguy Colours

Colour studies, Leaning towards the upper left two (Blue & White) Yellow guy isn't bad, either.

No time to say much tonight, gotta get to bed. Just some doodles I've manged to sneak in somewhere between working and sleeping.
Hopefully maybe shark guy will be coloured next week?
Wow, Blogger really throws images into posts in a really odd way.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

2009-09-19T14:49:00.000-07:00

Literally over 150 resumes later, and I finally get that job I was saying I needed... now what I need is more time!
So the schedule I was mentioning, The blog will now be updated every sunday, so keep an eye out for a little doodle dump tomorrow evening :)
Have a good one, all.

schedule pending

2009-07-05T15:28:00.001-07:00

The current mon & friday schedule is kind of weird, and I'm not sure it's going to work out all too well because it's a little close together, and it's a little strange for AO stuff. (as you can see I'm posting on sunday so really, it's not working very well at all)
I've also finally got a job interview! if I get hired at this place, I'll be working weekends, and then I definitely don't think friday - monday will work at all.
Likely stuff is going to change to something like sun + wed, but I have to see if I get hired first and if I do, what kind of schedule they hand me.
I'm about to head out to town to try out a bus route, while I'm down there I'm gonna pick up some nice acrylic brushes :D I completely shredded my current ones somehow (probably didn't sand a gesso surface down enough) and it's impossible to paint small details.
Have a good week all!

Late!

2009-06-27T22:58:00.000-07:00

So I've spent most of my week swamped with job-scouting and a different time-consuming little drawing, so there wasn't an alphabet-related update ready for friday. Here's a little sketch to try and fill the empty spot (in my heart.)

Creature sketch 1

2009-06-22T21:53:00.000-07:00

A little late-ish update- just a little creature design sketch. Really something I've wanted to do for a long time (I think Pokemon at an early age just had that effect on me...)
I spent so much of college trying to push myself out of the comfort zone that I totally forgot just how much I enjoyed doing this. I think a lot more of this will be done, now :]
Have a good week!

The letter T

2009-06-19T13:18:00.000-07:00

post 1!

His colours didn't turn out as I exactly wanted D: This was one of my first tries with gouache. It's amazing how differently that medium dries - It becomes almost 50% lighter and way desaturated. I'll edit the post in a bit to show my colour studies. This is gonna be re-done in acrylic like I did with The letter A. The whole project is supposed to focus on colour schemes , so accuracy is really important!

There! The studies are on the left and my final decision is below. Pretty different from the finished image, even after I altered it in photoshop!
