For the first time since I was 15, I had my birthday off! This is entirely new territory for me; so I decided to draw something meaningful to me.
I drew my homeworld.
I know it sounds pretentious, but it’s not incorrect, is it? Plus drawing Terra is not as easy as it seems. So many colours, so many layers, set against an almost velvety smooth blackness. It’s a really gorgeous place.
And I get to live there.
You do too. Isn’t that amazing?
Ok, deep breath.
Hey guys! It’s going to be an awesome week for me. I took up the challenge of creating a color image with multiple themes. Since I haven’t done this before, I figured, “why not?”. Yes I’m a dumbass. Oh well…
The themes were a servant, night lights, reflection, perspective and a landscape. So the kid in me figured Silver Surfer on his board looking down on the nightside of earth, staring at our cities. Bam! Combo!
So far, I’d gotten most of the way when I was reminded (well, told) that I needed to finish the digital piece I’d started. Makes sense.
For an added bonus, the hand of Galactus!
After a little more work, it turned out pretty nice. Of course, the talent is the real arbiter of it’s value, but sense I almost never draw background stuff, I was pleasantly surprised. All this while listening to enough Evanescence to kill almost anyone. I worked harder at playing this weekend than my actual job!
Man, I miss work.
TaDaaaaa!
This is just a character I made up on the corner of my sketchbook. I’m glad that I’m becoming decent at bringing my imaginary guys out of my head.
I pretty much spent all of the Labor day weekend drawing and drinking. This was for a friend and her sister. They’re both redheads, so the phoenix theme seemed appropriate, given their personalities. They were very happy, so I’m going to do another personal piece for someone else soon. For now though, its back to play for pay…
Howly Time!
