Miniatures

I've recently started getting into painting miniatures again and figured I would post them, wish i had a better setup and camera because the quality of these pictures suuuck but what can you do :P

So this is like one of the first minis I painted awhile ago, shes been tossed around and used so the paints chipping off :0, I might end up stripping the paint off and redoing this one in the future

This one is a later mini where I tried to incorporate highlights and shadows also using a layering technique. Wasn't confident in doing the face so they look like some kind of zombie family.

And this last one was fairly recent, more layering and shadow/highlights. Actually did the face and it came out fairly well.

And just in case anyone was wondering about the scale, here is one of them compared to a penny! Blurry picture but you get the idea.

Also I really want this 58( or was it 54?) reaper master series paint set! You can choose your own colors and what not but its like 200$ for 58(54?) T_T! For fun I wanted to see how much the entire collection of colors would cost without tax and it was 710$ :P oh well maybe someday~

Ayla

Another painting of Ayla :0 not much to say here!

Fianna

I always seem to forget this blog exists until my friend Franco mentions it once in awhile haha. Once again a character which is another generational character where my half elf had some kids with a deer angel man deity creature (long story don't ask lol) and thus this is the result. Her name is Fianna, youngest of four and the team medic. Went with...er more realistic than the usual but its still kinda stylized and mostly I wanted to brush up on using layers/blending. Got super lazy with the hair seeing as its like 4 am and I lost my reference picture and I haven't painted enough hair to be able to make it up and look nice :P

Alchemist

Woo another character although I won't be able to play her for mmm about a year probably :( so she might change between now and then. Inspired to make this character after rewatching FMA:Brotherhood and of course once again drawing inspiration from Emily Carroll.

Ink and Water Color

Playing around with ink/water color brushes to give the pictures a more organic feeling to them, another tip from my favorite Emily Carroll. Original on the top with new textures on the bottom. It's definitely more pronounced in the clothes. Also no idea why the original has a grey background...it's white to me in the original photoshop file and the .jpg version, so weird

Ephyria

Haha it seems like the only time I draw is for Pathfinder. Yet again another new campaign, another new character. This time it's Ephyria who is a merfolk with a armband bracelet thing with the spell fins to feet so she can walk around on land. Been doing tons of master copies of my new favorite artist Emily Carroll and this is a master copy of one of her pieces but changed up to look like my character :D

Also this isn't her normal dress or anything hahaha, shes usually in a dress of sorts.

New Pathfinder Campaigns

New campaign means new characters~

This is Rowena the half elf magus

This is Ayla the... something crazy like half human, 1/8 demon, 7/8 ifrit Bloodrager and grew up with Rowena. She is my friend Sally's character.

Ayla hates dresses.

And this is Quinn for a different campaign, shes an Aasimar Magus. Also I haven't been updating at all because my 113b class calls for its own blog where I put everything on there instead~

Been Awhile

So it's been awhile and figured I should post before I go back to posting once a year so here is a few things I've worked on since last time~

Here is an apple sitting in a metallic soup ladle thing....man metal is so hard to paint haha.

And an eggplaaaaant even though I hate them, they are fun to paint~ all the purple colors :D

The painting we did for about 40 min~ It was so cooooold, this is the building that's attached to tower hall.

Drapery painting, which came out way better than my first so i'm fairly happy with it~

And did this during figure drawing again, I think I was going to make her an airship captain in my Steam Punk campaign setting....no name yet hmmmm...

Painting in color, what?

Oh god we stared painting in color and WUT AM I DOING?! It's so much harder than black and white but we started off with a limited pallet based off of Zorn and the pallet he used. we had to paint a tomato and I guess more or less it's a tomato but it's not very realistic hahaha oh well :D more practice ahead.

Also cameras suck at picking up the subtle variations of color so when it drys i'll probably scan it in and see how that works.

Expression

I wanted to try drawing different expressions because more or less my characters end up having the same expression. Went to my awesome Tangled art book because there is a great variety of poses and expression from Rapunzel's section. More of my new ice sorcerer, I think i might recycle her to be my nymph for another upcoming game as well haha. I actually want to digitally paint the left one but we'll seeeee, I like acrylics but digital painting is meh.

Fionna SilverLake

New D&D campaign means new characters and I've decided to play an ice sorcerer named Fionna SilverLake. Of course that means I had to draw her~ I was looking at the frozen concept art of Anna when drawing her to try out the more round face and big ol' disney eyes. Shes weak so far and I'm not building her as a burst mage so I hope she can keep up :X

Also random squirrel I drew during acting class :D

Also boyfriend found new blog site, concept seemed interesting so heres a link http://sett.com/fruitparfait

Busy Busy!

Its been awhile, so busy and all and still busy but I didn't want to fall behind and get into my old habit of never drawing. So here is a quick head drawing I did during figure drawing, mostly concentrating on positioning and the eyes.

Practicing front facing characters again~ Also did this while in figure drawing

And lastly another side profile of my ninja, the more I draw her the more girly she gets hahaha. Drawn during DnD!

Short term memory

So less than two weeks ago I decided to draw profile views since I never do those and now I'm getting pretty good at them...so then I'm like I havent drawn 3/4 in awhile lets do that! Holy crap it's like I forgot how to draw 3/4 and full frontal positions lol wtf. Anyways after awhile i picked it back up but jees :( i wish once you learn how to draw something you wouldn't forget >_<. Quick >10 min of my ninja!

One Hour Homework

So we had an assignment where we had to time ourselves and see how far we could get with painting a wine bottle in an hour and here are the results~ I'm rather surprised with how far I got, I mean there's a lot more to be done and fixed but overall it has form and looks like a bottle so...woo :D

Style Comparison

Haha so I drew these two pictures about 10 min apart from each other and why do they look so different? I guess this happens when you're still learning how to draw a certain way, the results don't always look like came from the same person. More side profile of my ninja eld lady and I totally wasn't doodling this during class~ Hopefully I can start drawing people in a consistent way soon.

Princess Ninja

Doodling more side views and it's of my D&D character Ren in her super expensive royal outfit with her rose headband thing that she got too.

Side Profile + Guys

So I've never really taken the time to draw people in side profile and I juuuust got my Frozen art book <3 so I figured I would practice. Then I noticed I never draw guys so...two birds one stone right? I made Kristoff too sexy looking haha mostly because they didn't have a side view of his character so I kinda had to just make it up, though they did have a side view of Hans which is why that turned out super awesome. Then I randomly did some side profile view of girls which is harder than guys which is odd....I think it's those lips...I hate those lips ugh.


Also we finished our black eggs! I didn't get a chance to post earlier because my internet was down~

Naked People :D!

I get to draw naked people for class woo. Still working on figure drawing and trying to work out the best media/method for me. So far it seems like a pencil gesture with charcoal pencil to then "sculpt" out the figure works best so faaaaar. These are all roughly 5 min and we were supposed to focus on upper torso.

Black Egg + Bonus

Work in progress of my black egg rendering on black background. Why does taking a picture kill so much contrast, ugh. As a whole in person there is more contrast than my white egg, my white egg kinda ended up looking like a gray egg with gray background.



Bonus drawing from my friend, Hulk smashing Finn hahaha.

Character ideas

Ugh I have too many characters I want to play. I'm stuck between a Nymph Nature Oracle, Suli Ice Sorcerer and a CatFolk Ranger. Anyways I was looking a more concept art from frozen and its interesting how many different styles you'll come across depending on who's concept art you're looking at.

This style their eyes are so much bigger and pointy haha and full lips! I usually hate drawing lips bleh. And if this somewhat looks like Elsa than it's because I happened to be looking at her concept art haha.

So taking this new-ish style I created what I thought my catfolk person would look like....I think I would make her a Siamese cat so the area around her nose would be darker :3
