Self-portrait

Blazblue

I haven't polished shit in a while. I think it's that time again.

Fanart is harder than I thought. I cannot arbitarily change the character to make a composition work better; I have to work with it. Of course, the hardest part of this one was telling my mom why I was zoomed in on a pair of painted breasts...

This is fanart from the fighting game "Blazblue". Here are the original characters (more to come if I feel like it):

And I'll actually start to use my Deviantart now, starting with this piece. (psst... I still like Conceptart more...)

Old Lady: One Hour Sketchoholic Piece

Just finished with the Sketchoholic session which challenges artists to do a fresh topic in an hour. Haven't done speed paintings in a long time but this kind of got me started again. Hopefully it wouldn't happen at 2 am again...

It didn't win but it really forced me to think economically and forces artists to avoid long winded thinking processes. Excellent practice. Try it out!

Lots of size fluctuations but I needed to show at least SOME animation this semester.
