overly concerned boyfriends

Pins ‘N Needles Episode 0
as promised, the preview for Pins ‘N Needles! you can either read it here under the cut, or for more convenience, read it on the PNN section of hi2point5. i’ve also included a comics section too, you can see the link above on the bar. it was time for some changes! enjoy!
Boss Fight Cover
tomorrow, Episode 0 will be posted! it’s a little sneak peak of what’s to come after this summer. so get excited and stay tuned!
hourly comic day 2010
happy hourly comic day! (which was yesterday) here’s how my day went:
- reading: Siddhartha
- coming very very soon: Pins n’ Needles Episode 0
- heater is now on
dreamy 01
(insightful dreamy critters tackling their trust issues)
animal troopers
i went off on this tangent where i wanted to make some pixel art (and possibly some models) for actual characters or things that look like they would be in a game – and now i can’t stop drawing them! they were heavily influenced by Cornelius from the game Odin Sphere. i love his design, so i’m trying to play with that idea. this is just my first wave, so i still need to tweak them some more. plus, it’s really hard to dress them! i have to figure out if it’s possible to give them shoes, pants, or both. i tried to look at tarutaru (FFXI) for clothing inspiration, while their costumes are great they’re just tiny and not animal enough. but i think looking up more bangaa (FFTA) stuff will be more helpful since they have similar legs.
- current task: learning ZBrush
- amount of soda left: not much
- hard day: check
mountain and forest
it’s time for me to practice backgrounds and landscapes and such. i’m tired of not including these ever, and the new story i’m working on with Will needs mountains and forests. i must say i’m glad for the excuse to use markers and the brush pen!
my webcomic will be put on hold for later this year. i had to prioritize my projects, and while it’s something i really want to do, it must move to make room for more meaningful projects. i’m going to post the first nine pages as a preview and then get back to it after the summer – so stay so tuned!
- Final Fantasy XII progress: 120 hours in, 6 marks and 2 espers remaining
- PS3: coming soon!
- Drink and Draw tonight!
snow bunnies
i’m trying some new things out coloring wise! the story i want to work on after Febraury (when PNN can finally get launched!) will involve many cold themes, so i’m practicing snowy animals, antlers, and furs!
illustration friday – confined
my piece for illustration friday – my neighbor has these cats, they’re indoor kitties, so they’re very shy when they finally make it outside. one of them will hardly ever step off the mat at the bottom of the stairs. so, i like to think that he thinks that the world off the mat is made entirely out of lava, confined to his tiny lava-proof mat. just like the game we all played when we were little.
