Forest

This has been my biggest landscape drawing so far!  They are hard.  Props to... pretty much all environmental artists ever. Loosely inspired by Gunnerkrigg Court but really just an experiment in pushing my drawing further.

Pre-work Doodle

I am trying to squeeze more sketching time into the mornings.  I'm working on a big landscape experiment, and got this one out in the half-hour between that and leaving for work.  I remember hearing a tip recently that it can help to start out a drawing session with working on the things that are most finished, and ending with a completely new sketch.  It helps to keep discouragement at bay.

Guild Wars 2 International Fan-Art Contest

It's a mouthful to say, but basically a really fun chance to start drawing some GuildWars2 art.  The game is so drenched in artsy awesomeness that it's impossible for me NOT to love.  This is the original contest: Pantheon.

I saved some progress screenies before the final picture! Because they're cute.

Experimenting

I have been experimenting more with environmental drawing; not gonna lie it is very fun, though also much much more difficult than I had been prepared for.  There are also some figurative sketches here inspired by different games.

Weddingk'

I rarely do commissions, but I couldn't NOT try this one.  Done for a friend in commemoration of her recent wedding, just in time for Christmas.  I'm HOPING it prints well.

Hipcoins!

Finished up a drawing for a friend that has taken me WAY too long, but!  I really like it.  I'm checking things off of the Unfinished list, really looking forward to getting on with new projects in 2013.

Dryad

Some digital painting/environmental practice, inspired by a superawesome friend!

Things to practice more of!  Trees rocks clouds sky! grass people lighting.  eesh.
