What's Better Than 1 Project? (Wednesday)

TWO Projects!

...

Yeah, I'm pretty stupid.

...

Well, I took Jenna's advice and went with the ocean background on the first one.

All I need to do is draw in a sailboat and some seagulls and I'll be set to start inking.

-

In the meantime, I started this one.

Figured that I needed to draw Maria again, she needs the love.

So this is supposed to be one of the desert levels. I wanted to go for one of the round, planetoid Mario Galaxy levels, but I figured doing one of it's desert levels would be better recognized by the other Mario fans.

I'm going to add a Dry Bones in the background and maybe one of those tornados for interest.

...

I feel kind of sorry for Maria, I bring her back just to have her chased down by a Bullet Bill.

I'm going to have to fix her pose. A LOT.

This is why I get a ton of references off the internet for these kinds of things.

...

Ah, well.

I'll try to get inking the first one as soon as I can, tomorrow's looking to be an exciting day, I'll let you know after the fact, because I'm quite nervous that it won't actually happen.

Enjoy!

P.S. Forgot to mention, the scanner completely butchered this. It doesn't like me nowadays. It cut off some of the left side of the picture, just so you know.

Project (Sunday)

I think my cat's planning to get out the window.

Not that she ever gets far, but still, getting a bit paranoid.

...

Oh, yeah. Picture.

Started this yesterday... or the day before...

It's a bit rough, but I'm happy with how the foreground is looking.

There is no background as of now.

I'm thinking a city-scape would make for a good skyline, but I'm also thinking it would be overly difficult to color for the time of day I want to do.

Any ideas?

Suburban area maybe?

Links and pictures are accepted as suggestions....

Want to start inking this soon!

Anyways, I do plan on making this full color, going to try to do most of the flats with marker and texture/shade with pencils.

Should probably practice on something else before I attack this one...

Anyways,

P.S. THIS. Look at it. I lol'd

Updates (Friday)

There's really not much to update.

I did a few unworthy-to-be-uploaded sketches, been either in class or at a football game, and have been applying for colleges.

Need to sign up for one later today, let's see if I remember to do so after theater rehearsal today.

...

My life should really be more interesting.

Hmmm

Thinking about starting a Featured page here.

To encourage me to post feature-worthy stuff. You know, finished work.

...

Yeah.

How often should I update it? Cause I'm thinking once a month should do it (since that's about how often I post).

Haven't drawn any video game based stuff lately... this should not be.

-.-

But I have been developing two characters!

One looks like a blind mutated unicorn, but still.

I like him.

So.

I'll get that feature page up and go see if there's any ideas I have lying around that's worth completing.

Go with God,

Jo (Thursday)

It's painfully obvious how devoted I am to this blog.

-.-

Very.

I hardly post for not having anything good enough to post.

At least you don't have to keep looking at my stupid little scribbles and can always look forward to at least half-quality artwork coming your way.

Maybe next year, but still.

Quality above quantity, right?

Of course, you fools ought to demand more from me so I have reason to work.

Shame on you.

So yes, Jo is the dancer.

Although, she's technically a fighter and in the left drawing someone's about to get a magical girly kick to the head.

(For the record, I didn't use any references, so that's why she looks like she's accomplishing something physically impossible. We'll say it's cause she's an elf. Yeah, elf...)

She's slightly psychopathic, but fun to be around none the less.

She can juggle, dance, and summon a sword that's almost as tall as she is and use it well. She also uses fighting knives and hand-to-hand combat.

Her outfit is still in development, but I think the basic structure will remain the same.

Although, The Minstrel's outfit started out something like this.

Jo's The Mistrel's companion, if you didn't guess (cookies if you did).

Anyways, I have to empty the dishwasher.
