Sickness...

So I managed to stay healthy during all of my travelling this summer, but the minute I get home, I get sick. It's better than being sick while on a trip though, so I'm glad it happened now rather than earlier. But this means I might be slowing down a little and pumping out less art. I'm still going to do my daily characters and other daily drawing exercises, but you probably won't see any extra art until I'm recovered.

Fitu is a very energetic creature from Senay, a small town in AV World. Fitu is always talking, and is pretty much always in a good mood. He is very positive and always cheers up his friends, no matter what. He has been childhood friends with Piko, and will do whatever he can to help him out. Fitu uses his flames to his advantage in battle, and is a very powerful warrior.

Jawn is a very lively bartender who enjoys brewing his own beer with his good friend Alphonse. He is often found partying and getting drunk. He often is yelled at by Alphonse's wife for bringing Alphonse out to his parties and giving him free beer samples.

Old Characters Revisited

These ones are some older characters. Tosovo is only about three years old, but that still seems like awhile back. On the other hand, I made Chupo well over 10 years ago, so he had a bit of re-designing to go through.

Tosovo is the dangerous son of Divroga, who injected Ya genes into Tosovo. Tosovo is a very obedient child who does whatever his father asks of him, regardless of how outrageous it may sound. The Ya genes made him almost unbeatable. Divroga talks very highly of Tosovo, so he has a very big ego because of it.

Chupo is a very exotic bird-in-watching from the south. He has a very interesting choice of words, using words such as "feisty" or "fishy" to describe kids. He is very cheerful for the most part, but prefers things to be organized and orderly, or he will go berserk.

Digital Painting Practice!

So now I've been trying to do a lot more drawing than just my daily characters. I'm not going to post every single thing I do, since a lot of it is just practice and gestures, but these are some of the more finished things I did this week.

I haven't done digital painting in awhile, so I decided to do a little test.

And since I've been watching Naruto again recently, I drew this little piece of fanart.

Demonica Characters

These ones were both created by my brother. I did a little bit of design tweaking when I drew them, but not much.

Sibylle is a very sickly, shy demon who has a close relationship with Arno. She is a member of the Red Balloons, a resistance group housed in Demonica for demons and those who want to protect demons. Though she doesn't speak very much, she was never afraid to speak her mind to Arno, and was often most talkative around him.

Akhem is a Worlds Inspector, working under Malik. Because of his job as a Worlds Official, he is very controlling and takes his job extremely seriously. Akhem is very condescending and has an extreme hatred for demons due to the trouble they have caused The Worlds in the past.

Back from Canada!

My family went on a short two-day trip to Canada, and now I'm back! After a super busy summer, I'm finally (for now) staying in one spot for a longer time, to work on some stuff and focus on projects once again. It was a nice little vacation, but I'm excited to get back to work!

Since it was Firebreath and Noseid's birthday yesterday...

I drew this one before bed last night.

Some gestures I did while we drove in the dark.

Some doodles done in the car ride.

First Cintiq Daily Characters!

So since I've gotten my new cintiq, these are the first daily characters I drew using it! It feels so much more natural than using my tablet.

Yoi is the young cousin of Cimc, who is very lively. He always has too much energy and is constantly running around. He loves hanging out with Cimc and his friends, because it makes him feel cool and more grown up. He spends a lot of time working on art projects, especially when they are for someone he really cares about. He spent a few months making a vase for his mother, that was later destroyed by Fuzzy.

Vhandal is a very bratty little girl who will not function unless things go her way. She is very full of herself and thinks she is right no matter what. Vhan pretends she is much older than she is, though she still loves crayons and "girly" things.

Sketchbook Requests

So since I've gotten back from Seattle, I've been drawing in my sketchbook a bit more while I'm out and about. Mostly in car and bus rides. But I asked my brother for some requests to draw of our characters, to spice things up a bit more.

Lots of fun requests!

I also drew some FF13-2 fanart when I started that game up.
