Ugly Princess Revisited

I just decided last weekend to freshly update my Ugly Princess idea and added a new character. The girl on the left is the fat princess; she's kind of like Miss Piggy meets Charlotte from PATF, with a bit of ponyo inspiration for design. She knows kung fu and will kick your ass anyday, anytime.

The spooky faces in the bg are all the princesses they have yet to rescue. I've been having a lot of fun with this idea and hope that one day it'll be made into a show or at least a comic. Anyway, back to the grindstone!

Sailor Mars

I told you there were better posts to come. Sailor Mars is one of the best soldiers ever. All firey and red and IN YOUR FACE. Yeah. I'm glad I found time for this! I also made a tutorial about how I do linework. Be sure to check it out.

Been A Busy Bee

Some painterly-like thing from class. I gotta keep practicing but I like the idea of it. Less boring posts shall be made in the future.

Bumper and Layouts

So since lots of people were wondering what my bumper would look like with sound, here it is. It is still in the rough stages(since 90% of it was done in the last two days haha), but I'd love to keep playing with it to see how it goes. And that crackling sound is supposed to be crickets!

Here's some backgrounds from the bumper that were made at the last minute.

The original idea I had for the bumper was scrapped, but I still have some of the finished/rough layouts.

Here's some of the layouts I did for Moh's class.

Weekly Sketch

Since the finals were eating up all my time, this is more like a monthly sketch dump. I've been making a conscious effort to sketch more and try out different styles. None of these are really from anything in particular (except for my characters at the top left). I have a storyboard to share too.

Sketch Dump

So I got a pack of two small moleskin sketchbooks. They were pricey, but so far I've found them to be just the right size for me. They're only 3.5" by 5.5" but I find it's easier to work in for several reasons: a, I don't feel obligated to make big art to fill the page and b, working at small, thumbnail-size proportions helps me keep my ideas intact. I sketched these at a coffee shop yesterday. I definitely intend to make this a weekly habit.

Sailor MMM Yeah

These two as well as my venus sketch and mercury sketch were featured on Sailor MMM, which is an awesome collective blog that showcases fanart of Sailor Moon by some very talented artists. Go check it out!

I know I said I'd post every week, but the workload's been getting more and more demanding. I might just have to hold off on Mars until December. These'll just have to tide you over until then. Also expect issue number one of Lapis by next Year!!
