Illustration Friday - summer

Finally it is summer!

Illustration Friday - mask

I'm happy.

PizzaPizza

Just some "Fun with A Pencil" to get used to Manga Studio. Restaurateur (?) of a good old italian pizzeria ristorante :)
I think I might like Manga Studio even better for doing these than SAI. Probably going to do some more of these little guys in the next couple of days...

Scifi Prince

More face practice, Manga Studio 5, quick colour in PS.

Speedpaint Event

Drew this little critter for a speedpainting event, the topic was "missing limb". The fellow seems to be doing well with this contraption though ;)

Dove of Peace

Just the iconic peace dove. not much to say about it...

Illustration Friday - tree

For Illustration Friday topic "tree". Drew this silhouette as a study recently, now I just added a bit of digital watercolour (and some texture) in Paint Shop SAI to finish it up.

Little Ghost

I did this little ghost for last week's Illustration Friday topic "haunt", but forgot to upload it - silly me.
Hope you had a nice Halloween! :)

Fish in the Water

What came to mind for the Illustration Friday topic "water" - although unfortunately it came to mind a week too late.

Melancholy

Just trying to illustrate a feeling. She looks covered in oil, but she's supposed to be melting. Not sure how to fix that :(
And that's digital, btw.

Illustration Friday - jump

When I read this week's Illustration Friday topic, I decided to finish up this old sketch I had lying around forever. It's a scene from the Doctor Who novel/audiobook "The Stone Rose", which has the Doctor escaping via polevault out of the Colosseum arena using a trident... yeah. Not that realistic, but then I suppose Doctor Who doesn't have to be. It's an alien in a time travelling police box.

He was supposed to be grinning manically, but considering that he's always grinning it was surprisingly impossible to find a reference of that grin in profile, so for the sake of resemblance (and today's deadline) I had to settle for a smile...

Yes, the Doctor did dress for the time in this book, although he never does in the new TV series (and rarely in the old one). The pinstriped underpants were just for my own amusement *g*

Creature of the Week 212: Fabergédragon

This was an old "Creature of the Week" topic on ConceptArt.org - a dragon based on a Fabergé egg. I can't find the photo that I based it on back when I started it, and it has been lying around unfinished forever. I never actually participated in that challenge, btw., I'm obviously not really a concept artist, but I liked the idea. My Fabergédragon is probably the spoiled pet of some millionaire's wife - imagine a pug dog with a diamond collar, except that this one can breathe fire if it doesn't get what it wants.

Three Doctors

One of the few drawings made in the last year that I actually liked... mostly, anyway. The three (so far) Doctors of nuWho (or whatever else you call it). Messed up Tennant's face, but on the whole it is surprisingly close to what I was aiming at, and therefore was a gigantic step in the right direction.

Skeleton

Just to include a slightly larger variety of styles, here's a really old one (2006). I still really like that technique, should try it again some time soon.

Angel

I drew this one a while back, but never showed it anywhere so far because I wasn't quite sure that I liked it... my boyfriend said that it looked scary. I suppose I do imagine angels a bit scary, in the Bible anyway, they are not cute gold-haired little girls, but majestic and intimidating beings of incredible power.

Limelight 1 - Ice Skater

... and this is the picture that I took my header and avatar from (yay improvisation). Just a random practice piece, but I think I'll make a set of these, illustrating a couple of different professions in the limelight.
