On the Road Back to Digital Art

So this past week I've been trying to get back into doing digital art more often, but I just couldn't feel satisfied with my pieces. So I'm definitely gonna try and do more digital art soon that I can actually be satisfied with. Plus the only sketches I've really been doing are just gesture drawings since I figured that would help me improve on drawing the figure.

"The Link Between Worlds Concepts"

Some landscape studies I did to look at real environments as reference and create my own creative spaces. This is the location known as The Link Between Worlds, that connects all of The Worlds together.

"Rocko Quick Sketch"

Just a quick digital portrait I did of my character, Rocko. Mostly practice to get back into doing digital art.

"Final Pass"
An art trade I did for one of my friends.

"Final Pass Sketch"

Sketch of the above piece.

 

 

 

 

 

"Gesture Drawings"

Just some gestures I've been doing daily.

A lot of Sketching

So lately I've been sketching A LOT more. And I've been doing less Digital Art... Oh well. By the way, I finished up my website, so you can check that out here.

 "Rescued Hostage"
Scott Rescues Megumi from Arctic's grip. This was one of my favorite parts of this portion of the story that I working on.

"Scott x Megumi Sketch"

This is the sketch of the above piece.

"Geek, No!"
A digital "crayon drawing" I did of my characters Lupita and Pay. I had pictured this to come out a bit better than it did, but oh well. It was just an experiment that I tried out and it kind of failed.

"Super Hero Scroll"

A really quick digital piece I did.

"Harukame's Past Sketches"
These are a bunch of sketches I did relating to my character, Harukmame's, past.

"Quick Nay Sketches"

Some quick sketches of my characters.

 

"War on PS World Sketches"

A few sketches I did of a certain part in my story.

 

"Nays Style Sketches"

Some more sketches of my characters.

"Hat Sketches"

Some sketches I did of my characters that wear hats.

  

"Pubby 6am Sketches"

Some concept sketches I did of Pubby one night.

"Figures"

Just some figure drawing practice.

Fast Week

Wow, this week has been flying by. I feel like I JUST updated, but it was at the beginning of the week that I updated. I guess since I've been working on my age progression piece most of the week, it feels like I haven't done much art, even though I have been.

"Landscape Falls"

Here's a quick study that I did. I wanted to practice doing landscape digital paintings, so I did this.

"Scott Ragger - Age Progression"

And age progression study that I did of my character, Scott. I did this to practice drawing a character aging.

"Scott Ragger - Age Progression Sketch"

This is just a sketch of the above image.

"Sketchy Dreams"

I've been having some weird dreams lately, so I decided to sketch out some of the stuff I saw in my dreams.

It's Been Awhile

Well so much for updating more than once a week, I haven't updated since last Sunday! So much crazy stuff has been going on that I just haven't gotten around to updating recently. But I've still been drawing amongst all this so this'll be a kind of bigger update, I guess.

"BubbleMan's Sorrow"

This is a drawing I did as an improvement meme. I redrew an old drawing I did back in 2010, but incorporated my new style, drawing skills, and improved the overall composition. This is Bubbleman from Mega Man 2; this piece was inspired by Hyadain's Bubbleman remix that can be found on Youtube.

"DETERNATION!"

A commission I did for my friend, Emma. This is her character, Determined Painter.

"Conan Sketches"

I did this page of sketches for my friend, Kayla.

"Expressive Nays Sketches"

Just some sketches I did of my characters, trying to show expression in their faces and poses.

"Sleepy Sketches"

I did these one night when I got little to no sleep, so I ended up falling asleep halfway through drawing these.

"Naruto Sketches"

Just some fanart I did of Naruto after watching some episodes of Shippuden.

"Gair Saku Expression Challenge"

I was trying to experiment with different expressions by doing the expression challenge on DA. I probably shouldn't have crammed them all on one page, but this was just practice so it's nothing all that great.

 

"Slanktin Fighters Sketches"

These are some more character sketches for the game I was planning on working on, Slanktin Fighters. I haven't been doing as many as I thought I would, but I'll have them all done hopefully by the end of the summer.

Back to Working on Projects

So I've decided to finally start working on some projects I had planned for myself. One of the main ones I'm planning on starting back up is working on some of my games I started awhile ago. Since the new RPGmaker VX Ace just came out about a month ago, I may need to try that out one day too. I've been sketching my characters mostly, and just working on The Nays in general. I also got a commission from one of my friends, so I'll have that done within the week as well.

"The Six Main M Nays"

This was originally part of a banner I was working on, but I kind of liked how this part came out and turned it into a separate piece.

"The Nays Banner Sketches"

Sketches for the above image. You can find the banner itself here.

 

"Slanktin Fighters Sketches"

Some sketches of the character facesets for my game I'm working on.

"Commission Sketch"

This is just the sketch of the commission I'm working on.

"Life of Scott Ragger"

Here's another one of those pages of the life of one of my characters.

Mecha Practice

So recently I've been drawing a lot of mechas to get practice. Since that's one of my weakest points, I'm trying to improve so I can actually draw them. ^^; I've been getting inspired by having Gundam Wing on in the background every night while I sketch. Plus I've been looking to Mega Man and Live A Live a little bit for inspiration on this as well.

 "Buriki Daioh: Here I Am!"

Some more practice with mechas, but this time it's an actual finished fully colored digital piece. I've been meaning to do some Live A Live fanart for awhile, but I never got around to it until now. I also was experimenting with different brushes to create different textures. That shows the most on Buriki Daioh. In actuality, Akira should be a bit smaller, but I wanted him to be visible in the picture instead of showing his real size in comparison to Buriki Daioh.

"Buriki Daioh Sketch"

Sketch of the above finished piece.

"Fanart Sketches"

Just wanted to do some fanart that wasn't all completely mechas. I mean Cube from Live A Live did sneak in there, but he's more of just a little robot. Then I've got Minato and Kushina from Shippuuden and then there's Trowa and Heero from Gundam Wing.

"The M Six Main Nays"

I decided to draw my six main characters of The Nays in a line to compare heights from the beginning. So this is Gair, Pubby, Ralphie, Zandra, Scott, and Grenna.

"Gundam Wing Sketches"

Just some Gundam Wing sketches.

"Super Fighting Robots"

Some practice drawing from Mega Man and Gundam Wing as a reference.
