Dwarves (Monday)

So I've been slacking recently, but I drew this.

Just wanted to take a stab at drawing a dwarf lady.

Not as detailed as I'd like, but a decent start.

I chickened out a bit on the facial hair. I'm not practiced at drawing beards, and I didn't want to put an ugly beard on a lady. Maybe I'll try drawing some dwarf gentlemen to get a better idea of how to style all that hair.

(I feel like her arms should be thicker... hmm.)

I'll try to get something else accomplished soon.

Go with God!

Busywork (Saturday)

Arts soon, I promise.

So I've got two projects I'm (actively) working on right now:

Painting the White Tree of Gondor on my wall

and a drawing of 3 of my Dragonfable characters.

The first is in sketch stage. I'm using the grid method to try and be as accurate as possible. Seeing as the design is symmetrical, the left side is proving to be difficult (blame it on my right-handedness). However, it's also pretty curvy, so if I get the general angles right, it shouldn't look too awful.

The second is in concept phase. I've now got character sheets of two of the characters and an initial idea sketch. I'll post the character pages once I've finished the last one. I've already nixed the first location I picked, and am pondering a different background as well as altering some of the posing.

Other than that little bit of work, I've really been lazy so far this summer. 

My sister's getting married this July, so somehow I've been dragged into wedding planning. I don't really mind being asked to do some things, but if I keep getting asked to do any more artistic work, I'm gonna start charging. I've got my own ideas to (avoid) work on.

Again, I'll try to get some art posted here soon.

Go with God,
