IT'S. TOO. HOT.

It's too hot. :( I haven't made much this week because I've been in a constant hot weather sleepy-mode and I've also been out places. I'm sorry! D:

The one thing I did make this week does link into the weather, though, so do I  get + points for keeping a theme going..? No? Okay. :C

I actually have a story to go with this, so I guess that'll help fill this blog entry up a little. :'D

Here's the comic, I called it Tan Lines:

Basically what happened was I went to stay with relatives, we went to a party (gasp!) that was filled with people who were either a lot younger or a lot older than me, so I ended up sitting on a wall awkwardly for about 4 hours.

I get self concious about my arms so I couldn't take my hoodie off for longer than about 5 minutes, which combined with how hot it was resulted in a really silly looking tan line. I didn't realise until I had gotten home that I had a tan up to where my sleeves were rolled up, so now I look like I've dipped the lower quarter of my arms into the sun. :D 

Moral of the story - LEARN TO TAKE YOUR HOODIE OFF IN 25 DEGREE WEATHER. SERIOUSLY.

I am silly.

Oh I also made an Emoticon for the first time in a year or something like that, so here's a link to that because uploading the file here breaks it.

Have an awesome week!

Someone take me to Disneyland

This week I've spent a lot of time on one piece and not much time on others, though I did get 2 Environments done as promised! No stern talking to for me, yaaaaay. :D

The first environment took me about 20 minutes and is some kind of snowy mountain thing:

 

There are some aspects of it that I could be happier with but I guess for 20 minutes it isn't too bad. :'D I definitely need to put a lot more work into environments if I want to get better at them, though.

The second one is more mountainy hill things, just without snow. :D This took about the same amount of time, possibly a bit longer:

Out of the two of them I think I prefer the first one, though the second one was more fun to work on. It was nice getting to mess with different colours that weren't just blue. :'D I MUST DRAW MORE.


The final thing I've done this week (which ate up the most time) is a digital painting of a guy called Tommy Des Brisay. He's a 22 year old Autistic Canadian who posts videos to youtube under the channel 'Lookyus' and I'd strongly recommend having a look. :) Tommy's constant joy and optimism towards life has been hugely inspiring to me and I couldn't not paint him. I think he's amazing. :D

I'm happy with how Pascal and Tommy came out (for the most part), though the background bugs me a little. I think it's probably the Perspective but I'm not sure. Either way, it was nice to work on and I hope that Tommy and his family like it! :D 

That's all I have for this blog, I'll hopefully have some more environments to show next time.

Thanks for reading if you did and have an awesome week!

I draw too many Korean Males

It's true. :( This blog post is going to be full of them, the next blog post will, probably, be full of them. It's an issue.

I'm actually a little disappointed that they're all I've been painting :'D it shows that I'm just sitting in what's turning into a comfort zone, which isn't cool. :( 

SO. If I don't have at least 2 environment pieces in my next blog entry, you guys are allowed to shake your fists at me profusely. And maybe call me names. Maybe.

The first painting I did is of Sehun from EXO with his annoying as hell to draw  beautiful rainbow hair. It's the first time I've ever attempted hair that's more than one colour and I still think it looks a bit thin and flat, but I gave it a go. 

Next up is Tao, also from EXO~ I think this one turned out better in terms of hair and it actually looks more like him, so yay! I think overall he took me just over 2 hours to paint which is a huge improvement compared to how slowly I used to paint. I do want to try and nail the idea of actually getting them to look a lot more real if I can, though.

That's all I've got this week ): though I have doodled down some stuff in a sketchbook that may or may not get turned into comics.

I also got hold of a copy of Color and Light by James Gurney which I'm very excited about. :D I haven't had time to read through much of it yet, but I like what I've read so far so I'm looking forward to putting some of the lessons from it into the works. (:

The last thing I did that I don't have any evidence of to show ( ;>_> ) is some Sketchup work of what I was hoping to turn into some kind of mountain scene but ended up losing, so that sucks. ): I'll be making another one, though! :D 

And FINALLY, on a non-games related note; I'm thinking of getting some of my character printed onto Stickers and Acrylic charms. I'm not 100% sure who I'll pick yet though I know I'll be getting some of my Tea and Monsters Logo, so I really I was just wondering if there's any interest there. 

If there is, let me know! 

Take care and thanks for reading if you did, see you guys next week. :)
