An art blog focusing on my development as a self-taught (for now) artist. I will post, as often as I can, any new artwork along with some selected items from my many sketch books that litter my apartment.
Basically spent all day finalizing both of these designs. I made two different versions for each design: one for light shirts, and one for black shirts. The only real difference is a white border around the design to help it stand out against black better.
A design for a tshirt. I've been thinking about hoarding some designs and then trying to sell them online. This one has kind of a retro/ grindhouse feel to it. This took me the better part of 3 hours using GIMP and Illustrator. Still tweaking.
A portrait I did of a guy sitting across from me in the doctor's office, and a study of a leather coat that was hanging nearby. I would have drawn more, but it was a pretty barren room.
For the most part, these are un-referenced sketches of characters and stuff.
An outfit for a medieval fantasy thief. Based off of Thief: The Dark Project.
A sketch that was used as a test for coloring in Photoshop. I didn't really care to finish it, but I am pretty pleased with the shading on the jacket and the skintone.
A preliminary sketch for my "Fallout Girl" tattoo.
A tourist gone commando. From a brainstorming session on a Jurassic Park RPG.
A couple of requests I did for some people's RPG characters. Some received a little more attention from myself than others. These were all done within 5 to 10 minutes (aside from the witchy woman, which took the better part of a half hour) in Illustrator.
Here is a custom tattoo design I did for a coworker. This was my first serious attempt at using Adobe Illustrator, and was done sometime in November (I think) of 2008. If they ever actual get the ink done, I'll try and post a pic.
