Odosketch!

Overdue Life Drawings

Here ye go.

Just beware the fact that these, like many life drawings, contains nudity.

Ok?

Ok.

More APH art.

A sketch of the insanely popular Korea-kun, but ironically he's not popular in Korea. :(

Also, I messed around with the new template scheme on Blogger, as well as making a new logo: isn't it kewl!?

Axis Powers Hetalia fanart!

Oh my delicious preferred pairing, how you do me no wrong. ;)

I'm hooked on this series. Start here for international stereotype fun and frolicing.

Triple Life: Thumbnails and Storyboards

NOT the special update, but...

Here are some little developmental sketches I made before I started major work on Triple Life. I wanted to explore how I could resourcefully get the story across.

I needed some kind of infamous opening scene - avoidng the spoiler here, I made a manual that misled the player into thinking they were going to play the stern everyman Mayor Samuel Delamaine.






This was the bit that was hugely condensed down for time and sanity: I had an extra couple of characters that were plot mediators between the Claymason and Sunaru Institute missions. You had a choice of a local scantily-clad super heroine or a ditzy conspiracy theorist drop hints (I wanted to have hidden symbols in the backgrounds!).



This made it: the story splits in two if you decide to answer the phone or open the letter. Friggin' twin programming!







BONUS: The Claymason History! After understanding what the Freemason Calipers symbolise, I kind of screwed with the idea and made a suitable Claymason backhistory and emblem badge. This was a cutscene in the game where Simon automatically explains the Claymason's history.

Trinian Sketch Dump - Expressions

I have to admit, I'd like to draw legs a little better in full-body poses. Any advice would be greatly, er, listened to.



But regardless, here is an expression study of Trinian.

Scribbled Scribbler Demon

Isn't this a neat little widget? Found here at http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/scribblertoo/

TL: Work In Progress

No thumbnail this time, but it pretty much hides itself.

TL Work In Progress and randomness

Until the college sort s out the Wacoms, I'm posting some work in progress. Three NPCs from Triple life, coloured in flats.



Also, I got a newsletter from Aviary.com (the free online picture editor site) about their new updates and word about an album cover contest - I went ahead and played around with the assets until I realised the contest's only open to U.S. residents. :( Here's what I made ...here. Looks like a pirated version of the real album insert! XD

If anyone fortunate enough to live in U.S. wants to have a go, the page is here:

I'm just delighted with how this turned out. I've promised myself to do more finished work after the new year, but I'll share this anyway: I think my style is finally emerging after years of imitation and no confidence...

More from the Kingdom

Will be animating this and using it as another new dA avatar, lol:

Cube Kingdom

It's easy as heck and I'm playing around with it. Why shouldn't you?

Japanese site; simple instructions: Cube Kingdom

'01 vs '10

I designed these characters when I was 15 years old circa 2001: you could tell I just wanted to get to the fun part of actually drawing them, without worrying about anatomy and the techniques I would learn in college years later. XD So... I rediscovered these in my bedroom during my visit back home for Christmas, and picked the three less generic ones (too oversaturated with manga-style as a kid to create my own look)... The original name for Briny (the Squid-lady) was a bit daft, though.

Back to Manga?

Only for a twidge; let's say I got inspired to do some Manga style work again. I also found some unsold Screentone in my College's shop too!



Bonus: Sketch dumps I'd prepared for contests on Worth1000. One I actually entered and got second place; the other I had to bail out of for health reasons.

Things with Chaoscope

If this isn't awesome, I don't know what is. These were created in Chaoscope, a freeware program that generates fractal art.

Check out the tutorials at the Chaoscope Site. ;)

Repose

A little something made with Manga Studio.

More Bucky

Edit: More Air Marshall love! <3 The parallels between this show and a certain anime series are startling...

New Sketchbook What I Drew In

Still some more on the way, as I've yet to figure out why the Macs at college make some of my pictures invalid.... :( So please enjoy what I've got so far.

Bucky O'Hare Sketch Dump

I believe that the 3D version isn't being made fast enough!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM5j2KVxEpg More please! :D

Alchemy - art what I made with it.

Alchemy's a freeware graphics program used for initial vector-based sketches, but by itself, I find, that it creates its own beauty. Pretty nifty brush FX too. :) (This was done in Mirror Mode. There is also a Microphone command that affects the brush when music/sound is played.)

For this course, I'm going to need every weapon I can get! To try Alchemy, you can subscribe and download it here: http://al.chemy.org/
