Reference Sketch #4

Facial Expressions + HAIR

Day's hair was super fun to draw - it's naturally wavy and pretty lengthy, so I had a lot of possible hairstyles to play with, particularly with his ponytail. I think it reveals a childish side of him when he ties his hair back (mostly when he's concentrating). His facial expressions were fun too, although I wish I could have done more to define his character more. But seeing as I still have more sketches I want to do, I don't think I can fit any more. : (

Reference Sketch #3

Costume Design
Day's (nickname) particular outfit and gear for his races; he's a licensed contestant of the Dome Races, a competition variating between superbike and hoverbike races. It's a huge event that the city attends, which usually takes place a few times each month. The bike is his superbike, and I am regrettably not releasing my sketches for the hoverbike concepts quite yet. 

Reference Sketch #2

Interactions x2
Damon is a pretty quiet person: he keeps mostly to himself, minus his two closest friends, he rarely shows emotion, and yes, he smoke(d) from age 18-19. He's an interesting character to work with out of my collection, for being so intellectual and depressing. 

Reference Sketch #1

Facial Features
Just some facial specs and notes, for me but mostly for the viewers (since they can't visualize him like I can). And now I realize that I should have also done a full-body analyzation... next time. 

Cintiq Speedpaint?

30 min. 

Just something quick, to get used to the Cintiq before starting on my character development page... this is the character I'll be designing! His name is Damon - the rest you'll find out soon enough! 

Also - it's so much easier to color with a Cintiq than a tablet!!!

My Illest Entry

It didn't make it into the gallery though. >: c LAME! I spent a long time on this (at least 40 hrs.). 

It's watercolor on watercolor paper. I really enjoyed doing it though! I'd like to make a children's book out of similar illustrations. : )

Back With Some Fan Art

Although I never really left to begin with. I've been working on artistic things and such everyday since Ringling got out for the summer (minus the week and odd days I took off to play Final Fantasy XIII-2).  I can't exactly post everything I've been working on, since it's been quite the project I am undertaking (meaning you won't hear anything big about it until the fall).

 An offering to appease you:

I really love graphite portraits. Mostly, I really love graphite portraits of popular Korean singers. I've been on quite the Korean binge lately, particularly with music. One of my favorite boy groups happens to be INFINITE... so this happens to be Sungyeol from the group's most recent single, The Chaser. ^____^
This was done in graphite with the intent to make it into an oil rub. But the oil rub turned out too dull to post, sorry guys. ;;
