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.

More mask people

Person really, not plural.

Buckram hat

Photos of my fourth, and most complex hat from my millinery class (one and two are for my parents and they check this blog frequently; three is ugly and won't be posted). The crown and upper brim are turquoise silk layered with black organza, the underside and hatband are black silk, and the hat is lined with warm purple with matching grosgrain. Roughly 30 hours went into this hat and it fits a 24" head (I have a massive head).

Fun fact: buckram, the base material, loses its shape when wet so this hat can never be caught in the rain or else it will be ruined. Yet somehow these are the hats worn by the English at garden parties. I will never understand that.

Final assignment

My final assignment! I got some really great feed back, so I'll make those changes for when these pages are actually in proper use... which brings me to exciting news. I'll be starting up a weekly webcomic called Making of an Android in the new year. These pages take place near the end of the first chapter after lots of character development leading up to Liz's breakdown. I chose to do these for my assignment as I felt they worked best for what was asked, and frankly, it was lots of fun to get into the meat of the comic.

I'll post a link for anyone interested once the site is up and running with the first page.

Mask people

I forgot to post these guys over here! I really liked drawing that little guy that I'm using as my icon everywhere so I did more. I'm thinking I might do a whole bunch and make them into a zine. I'm planning on doing some shows in the new year like Canzine and maybe Fanexpo if I can get a table ahahahahaha I just looked up how much Fan Expo tables are. Nope.

Medieval drawing night

The theme for this week's drawing night was "Medieval" so I drew a more modern take on one of my favourite garments, the chaperon (a headdress with long swaths of fabric circling the neck or hanging from the headdress in a elaborate style).

Sorry about the lack of posting over here. I've been working on hats and my final pages for my comics class; the first two hats are on tumblr. I won't be posting them here until after Christmas as they're for my parents and they actually check this blog somewhat regularly. I'm also a bit hesitant to post here because I've been getting a lot of hits from spam/virus sites every time I post that are wrecking my stats.
