New Processeses..ees

Spontaneous update!  First, a finished collaboration I colored for.  Second is my current project, which I'm working on mostly in Painter after going through about eight different composition ideas.  Last is another work in progress done in a sort of experimental way- more incorporation of drawing and reference, as you can see by the random hand photograph hanging out there.  

New projects

When I started GuildWars2 I was really excited about drawing new characters, but I've actually shelved game commissions for what I think will be a long time.  I'm really starting to enjoy environmental art, even though it reminds me of when I first started to draw and absolutely everything seemed impossible.  I guess I like a good challenge.  My trees are still sloppy and composition still eludes me nine times out of ten, BUT, I enjoy it all.

I'm also starting to doodle out the first tentative design ideas for a project that I've been outlining since the year began.  I think of these graphic novel ideas all the time and inevitably scrap them, but I think this one's the lightbulb that works.  I hashed out the two main characters, but right now there are at least eleven.  So more soon!

Oh, and I've also started messing around with watercolors.  SO hard.
