    And here comes the end of Inktober 2015!  This is composed of three parts because I was somewhat slow to upload them here, so let’s jump right in to the first set. The first set, 21 to 24 is all related to Natural Selection 2.  I totally have had a lot of fun playing it…

    I’ve been doing some updates to the site here, obviously.  Here are the pieces that have since been cut from my main portfolio.  This should hopefully mean I’ll have some new work up soon! Also, since I’ve gone and edited my website’s skin in general, let me know if you see any bugs so I…

    I’ve also done some small, one-off images recently.  I’ve been trying to work with the methods discussed in the Magic Box, just so I get some more experience with it.  It had some pretty mixed results but I think at this point I’ve finally figured it out.  None of these are particularly interesting compositionally, however,…

    For the magic box one of the assignments was to do a pseudo-master copy of a painting with a person in it..  Aaaaand turn them into an animal.   I used a Rembrandt painting as a base and a harpy eagle as my chosen animal.  I had some pictures from the LA zoo to use…

    Of course, I can’t forget to show how I did my other Imaginatomy project. It was kind of neat that I was able to go and do another project that was associated with Zikkihuru.  Hopefully in the next couple of months I’ll be able to go do a few more pieces with it.  I think…

    There was this big green bird that hopped a lot in the pet store in the town my parents lived in.  Turns out, that bird was a turaco.  They’re pretty neat birds, so you should totally read about them.  For this, I picked the red-crested turaco, because it wasn’t too extravagantly colored, but wasn’t just…

  • The Toy

    Budgies are great little birds — and quite silly, which lends itself well to one-off images. For those who don’t have parrots, understand that they can be scared of the most bizarre things, including their own toys. I picked a normal green budgie and an English violet crested budgie, and went from there. The toy…

    And now for the final Zikkihuru piece (for the moment), Friends. Of all the images for this project, this is still the one that I am the most happy with.  It pretty much lived up to what I had been hoping (again, unless I went and redid the whole thing now). This piece had considerably…

    So the final version of the Fog is below. The main change that I dealt with on this one was just going through and painting the water so it looked more like water.  All things considered, I’m pretty happy with how this came out.  Of course, as with everything, I’m sure there’s more that could…

    So early this morning/late last night I was given a Daily Deviation on deviantArt!  Put that on the “stuff I wasn’t expecting to happen” list.  You can swing by and see the page here. It’s been good fun watching the numbers in my inbox rise — I always enjoy watching the views, favorites, and similar…
