BoS Drawing Challenge - #61 Fairy Tale

I've been nursing this one for a bit now, I kept changing bits of it, and it really wasn't working. Today - somehow - I managed to turn it around enough to where I was feeling pretty alright with it, and here it is :

Not perfect, and I'd really like to have some colour added, but I wanted to get something posted for the challenge dammitt ! It'll do as is for now. I was going to draw in a shot wolf behind her - but, y'know, time.

I'd like to come back to this one later on.

Dunesteef Episode Art - 'Last Contact' - Bits and pieces

Finding it very difficult to find time to do anything art-wise, but I;ve forced myself to some stuff on the cover art project :

I think it's coming close to being finished.

BoS Drawing Challenge - #60 Rejection

Yay - I've hit the sixties !

I've never seen 'Bride of Frankenstein'. I think I should.

BoS Drawing Challenge - #59 No Way Out

So - I've spent most of my evenings for the last couple of weeks making candy necklaces. They're for Angelo's school gala. No hard to do - but very time consuming. I get about 4 - 5 done in an hour. That's why my drawing has been pretty non-existant lately. I did finish the BoS 59 theme today though :

Another Star Wars one - hardly a surprise ! I think Boba doesn't look too bad, and the Han-frozen-in-carbonite looks okay too. I would like to colour this one - but it's taken so long to do I just want to get it up and start on the next one !

BoS Drawing Challenge - #58 Kick in the Head

I was kinda dreading this one, but weirdly the idea came to me really quickly :

This one was fun.

BoS Drawing Challenge - #57 Sacrifice

Took longer than I'd like to get this finished - but here we are :

I was tempted to do one of Mola Ram from 'The Tower of Doom' - but the Kraken won out.

Dunesteef Episode Art - 'Last Contact' - Added alien

I was really tempted to flag doing any of the episode art tonight and play video games instead, but I went downstairs to the office and mapped out the outline of the alien :

The shaggy fur of the alien did make the vectoring a bit of a challenge. But I think I did it okay. Not sure about the pink colour. Still - it's pretty easy to change the hue !

Dunesteef Episode Art - 'Last Contact' - Added kid, darkened hills

I thought I'd change the figure a little to have him pointing at the kite :

Not sure about the colour. Also added another hill, and darkened the hills slightly to get a sense of perspective.

Dunesteef Episode Art - 'Last Contact' - Added kite / foreground hill

Spent a little time on the episode art this evening after the boys were in bed :

I like the kite colour !

Dunesteef Episode Art - 'Last Contact' - Beginning

So, no - I've not forgotten or abandoned the 100 drawings. With work in full swing I've not had as much time as before to draw. But rest assured - it's still going ! I'm maybe a third of the way through the 'sacrifice' theme drawing.

But I have some other art missions come up on the radar. First is the episode art for an upcoming installment of The Dunesteef It's for a story called 'Last Contact', which was written by Rish Outfield - one of the hosts. Rish was having trouble making his idea for the work, and wanted me to see if I could do something with it. Here it is :

I like it. There's some cool distances from the foreground kite to the far hills / clouds.

I thought I might use some of the texture layer tricks I'd used in my recent 'Drow Wisdom' pics. I've got some of the initial shapes done :

I want to try and keep the colours in the blue spectrum, and have the kite be a red or pink - to have it be the focus ( the kite is reasonably important in the story ). I'll need to alter the hue of the clouds.

Still - it's a start, and not a bad one so far ! 

BoS Drawing Challenge - #56 Danger Ahead

The idea for this one hit me pretty quick, in contrast to the last theme :

The robot from 'Lost in Space' is pretty cool. I prefer the one from 'Forbidden Planet' - but it's still great. Mind you - there are very few robots that I don't love in some way !

BoS Drawing Challenge - #55 Waiting

I won't lie - I REALLY struggled to think of an idea for the theme word 'waiting'.

That, and work has started up again. Boo.

But, I eventually came up with this :

In case you don't know who that is - it's Death, from the 'Sandman' comics. Death of the Endless - if there's a nicer personification of the end of life, I don't know what it is.

Drow Wisdom #3 - mostly done

I wasn't ready to go to bed at a reasonable time, so I spent a while on the new poster :

A little more adjustment needed - but it's mostly finished now I think.

Drow Wisdom #3 - initial work

I decided to do another 'Drow Wisdom' poster tonight - or get one started at least :

I might get this finished tomorrow.

BoS Drawing Challenge - #54 Tower

A little more simple with this one :

BoS Drawing Challenge - #53 Keeping a Secret

The idea for this one came pretty quick :

This is supposed to be Chancellor Palpatine. He was keeping a pretty damn big secret.

Not too bad - though I'm not terribly good at caricature !

'Overtaken' cover art

A reasonably simple piece of cover art for the guys at The Dunesteef :

Really just lines and text, with some perspective transformation.

BoS Drawing Challenge - #52 Deep in Thought

Just finished this one :

The hands aren't very good. And the crystal glow isn't as good as it could be - but otherwise I kinda like how this one went.

I've been invited to do some cover art for The Dunesteef again, so the Balls of Steel might be on hold for a little bit. Or maybe not. But I will be doing something a bit different again !

BoS Drawing Challenge - #51 Sport

This one took a little longer than I expected. I knew that I wanted to do a Blood Bowl player for this one - though actually getting the drawing done was trickier than I first thought it would be. I started doing some orc players, they they really weren't working - so I switched to a human. In the end I copied the body pose of a gridiron player - then converted it to a Blood Bowl player though the armor :

No time to add any colour I'm afraid !

I messed up the legs a little, but otherwise it's not too bad.

Alternatively-Inspirational Poster #2

I had fun doing the last one, I've experimented with a second while the youngest has been having a nap :

Again - not too bad !
