Good Bye Speedvore

I hadn't officially announced this yet, but earlier in the week, my brother and I decided to scrap our idea for Speedvore. Basically we got rid of the whole idea, since it wasn't really something we were passionate about, therefore making it hard to work on. The idea itself was just too boring and something we weren't interested in. But in the meantime, we made up a new idea for a game that has a lot more potential. The name isn't set yet, so for now we're calling it Project Deanster.

Gestures... FROM LIFE

So yesterday my family went to a somewhat local restaurant known as The Melt. That place is super filling, but I finally got to go out and draw from life... after at least a month of absence from it! I thought I'd be super out of practice, but it wasn't too much worse than the gestures from life that I used to do daily.

I also tried out the trial version of SketchBook Pro today, and I loved it! I think that it may be the best program I've used for sketching. I may not enjoy using it for clean-up work, but this may be my new way to sketch digitally... and I'll actually enjoy sketching outside of my physical sketchbook! I did this sketch before I knew how to fix off-setting the cursor problem.

Some gestures I did while waiting for food at The Melt. It was so much fun to be able to draw gestures from life again; it feels like it's been forever since I've had this chance.

Monsters University!

So I finally got around to going to the theater and watching Monsters University yesterday. And I've gotta say, it was a great movie! Honestly I enjoyed it more than the first one; it was a lot more relatable and interesting to me. And it was probably one of the best movies I have ever seen in theaters. Not to mention my brother and I were the only ones in the theater, so we didn't have any distractions.

This was a quick little gift that I drew for my friend, Jinny. I'm not really into Animal Crossing, but Chief is her favorite villager.

Geocashing

Yesterday had its ups and downs, but I got to go Geocashing with my family, so that was fun. Although that's hardly an excuse. Hopefully today will be more productive.

Short Break

Yesterday was mostly my break day to hang out with my brother, since he just came home. So at least the majority of the day was fun. Didn't do much art though. Today's going to be a busy day too, so don't expect too big of an update tomorrow afternoon.

Experimenting in Sai!

I decided to explore a few more tools in Painter Tool Sai.

With my experimenting, I discovered the Ink Pen tool! I really like the effect that it gives the lines, even if it is a bit more time-consuming. I also tried out the Marker and Water Tools in the second one, but I feel that it muddied the piece a bit, so I prefer the first one.

"048: Venonat"

Some gesture practice from pixelovely.

Personal Art

I finally finished an illustration on my own time. It took me about four days, but it's done.

"Hopeless"

I decided to re-visit one of my "forgotten" Nays, Weisube. After some thinking last week, I decided to create mini-stories out of some of the characters in The Nays, since some of them I never fully developed.
