Postcards

Liz from my webcomic for promotional postcards I'll be sending out over the next few weeks in hopes of getting some freelance illustration gigs.

One of my biggest pet peeves in any narrative including robots/androids/AIs is the whole SYNTHETIC LIFE WANTS ONLY TO DESTROY ORGANIC LIFE that is pretty much the biggest mainstay of the genre. Liz, as a result is pretty fond of plants and a large portion of her character arc is trying to connect to organic life and further her own consciousness via her continued interaction with others.

More ink guys

 More ink from last week's drawing night. My beloved roommate gave me a pair of moleskins for Christmas and man, it's like drawing on silk but without the guilt.

Another attempt at Samara

Samara's been on this blog before. She's one of my favourite Mass Effect characters - which is saying something because the series is one of my most beloved things in the entire world. But I have a lot of trouble with her character model; she's basically everything I've ever wanted in a badass lady, beauty, ferocity, determination that would make a Terminator blush. and untold wisdom of a thousand year life span. She had so much potential to be perfect but her model makes her look like a sexy strawberry and does absolutely nothing to convey her complexities. I wanted to try another redesign this time playing  around with the styles worn by Asari in game and made them more battle-monk-ish to suit her. I really wish she had have looked something more like this rather than blatant fanservice for the male segments of the audience.

Oh look, colour!

I realized I hadn't drawn anything in colour since September so I rectified that. Tried a different, faster method of colouring and am quite happy.

2013 in review

It's time for the annual round up! Here's a monthly summary of art I did for my tumblr.

And here are some of my faves from this last year:

Annnddd, last but not least, I've officially started a webcomic, Making of an Android. You can find it over on Smackjeeves. A link will be added to the top bar shortly. It will update on a weekly basis every Tuesday at 6PM EST.
