Humanized Naga

Yeah I spent my afternoon on this. hahahaha oh jeeze.

I was inspired by

 who's original artist is http://artoffoxsnout45.tumblr.com/

I loved her basic design but I thought Naga would be at least taller than her ferret companion (seen unfinished in my drawing because I couldn't get his face and hair right.) Being a Polar Bear dog I also thought she should be stronger. 

In my mind she acts like a big sister to both Korra and Pabu, kind but also fiercely protective. And loyal to a fault, but gets distracted easily by food. 

So yeah, It's summer and I have too much time on my hands.

Naga and Pabu belong to the Avatar Universe in case you are wondering. :)

 here's the original sketch.

Practice

Guess who's been practicing dynamic poses and running and stuff?

Doodle

Practicing free hand drawing on my tablet.

Another Labyrinth inspired design

Mostly clothing and hair style. More stylized than the other one (which is how most of my drawings are done, super cartoony. Didn't fly well in drawing class.) but I still like it. Makes me want to flat color it. :3

I'm in love with drawing hair. Is that weird?

Warrior Girl

A sketch that I did while watching a Jim Henson movie haha. Kinda inspired by Princess Mononoke but I didn't use any reference pictures. I like the war paint designs. :3

Strange desire to color this in pastels hmmm

Oh, from that movie My Neighbor?

I had left over black paint for a 2-D project that I was working on so I decided to paint totoro with it. (Having recently acquired it from my sister for my birthday)

In art lesson Number 1:

WASTE NOTHING

Owls of Autumn

It's that time of year again, when summer slowly gives it's dying breaths over to the colors and crisp autumn. Let your home smell of cinnamon spice yankee candles and enjoy the leaves until it rains and you have to rake up that sloppy mess. Break out the light sweaters and boots with dresses (eeee! :D) and start baking your little heart out.

Or you know, you would do all those things if you lived anywhere else but Florida: Land of Two Seasons. Summer and Brief Winter. So low 90's in the weather forecast and the trees are palm trees. The only tell tale sign of fall here is what everyone else is talking about up north and the annual flood of Snow Birds to our beaches. Welcome to our beaches Ontario! 

Kingdom Dance Tangled

So for a while I had been working on this drawing on and off. But all in all it took maybe 5-8 hours of drawing, and photoshop work? Wow... I really need to get faster at all this.

NO stealing, or removal of the website from the image or I will be forced to watermark all over my art!

Seriously, I may or may not want to use this in a portfolio some day.

Overall I'm happy with the design. (First time doing that position of the head so yay!) But I think the shading could be better (I used/abused the dodge and burn tools as a cop out.) And if I could redo someday I would make the skin tanner for color scheme reasons.

Also inspired by a much better portrayal of the scene here:

Painterly Practice

Just a practice at digital painting skills. I really like the hair and body but the face disappoints me beyond words. It was kind of a crappy drawing but the paint style is the focus anyway. I need more practice. :(
