Hybrids

Mermaid painted in a few hours this afternoon/evening. Feels good to be able to paint again. Been too tired and unable to focus to do anything more than cell-shading for so long.

Pair of sketches, including the mermaid sketch, from last night. I'd like to do a pair of illustrations with the satyr girl and another satyr I drew in December. Got to finish other projects first.

Something old and something new

Returned to an old character from last year that I kind of forgot about. Been feeling that my style's been getting stagnant lately so I played around with colour and shapes on a sketch from last night for a bit. Liking it. More vibrant and eye catching. Now to just get over my fear of drawing clothes accurately in motion and perspective in digital.

Good Omens

Crowley and Aziraphale - Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet
Doing a series of characters designs from Good Omens for fun. Started off with everyone's favourite angel/demon duo and will be moving on to the Four Bikers Horsemen and then the kids if time permits. Mostly done War too at this point.
Originally I thought about having each character with their associated mode of transportation (mostly just because motorcycles are ballin' and I could clearly figure out which kind each Horseman would ride) but I'm rethinking it. Started drawing the Bentley but gave up because doing perspective in photoshop is the worst. Liking this design style for the series and I might just keep it up.
This series will basically be the most men I've drawn ever. Hack-hack-hack. That's me.

Haydee

Haydee - The Count of Monte Cristo ch.49
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favourite novels and though Pere Dumas’ writing is so detailed Haydee was the only one who always stood out with an obvious look to her. I think this is in part due to her very contradictory personas. In public she acts the part of a childish, dumb coquette but in private she shares her pain and desires with the Count; that kind of great characterization always stands out to me. I wanted to create something representitive of her outwards persona, the beautiful coquette, and her inner turmoil while following her description from the beginning of Ch.49. 
I have very mixed feelings about this one. I saw the best art student owl the other day that I think explains my feelings pretty well: you know it's done when you hate it. If you don't hate it yet it's not done. There's a lot I like and a lot I feel like I failed at - mostly the composition and reclining figure.
