It's been a while

FIRST AND FOREMOST: 

???SHOULD I CONTINUE BLOGSPOT OR MOVE TO TUMBLR ???

Hello, It's been a while I have been busy with my corporate foreign international travel agent job. Luckily it's from home so when I get off of work I've started a painting routine and it feels great. I was in an art rut for a while but meanwhile I started making music, writing stories, instant film photography, sewing, and basically all things art related. 

On another note i'll explain my drawings in order from top to bottom.

 One and Two are only thumbnails and nothing final. They were from a scene I was inspired by for Tim Burton's newest film. I just wanted to play with the "swimming in an abandoned ship and breathe underwater" thing. Illustration 3 is actually a warm up I did the day before One and Two. I blew the dust off of my cintiq for good old fashioned stress relief. It was to help me play with brushes and styles for a story i'm writing which has nothing to do with the drawing itself. The final one is once again for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, like One and Two, this one was done because I loved the concept of Olive's boots keeping her grounded so that she would sink down to her ship or keep her from floating away. Also being stuck in the past and immortal. All fun ideas that were floating in my head and I had to get out and post mistakes and all. 

Something is lovely about raw work.

Back in to habit I hope...

No credit

Typically when I'm in an art rut I have to mimic a digital painting to see if I've gotten any better and I sure have! I've only been practicing on and off for a year and I'm self taught, so I'm a little proud. The original is by Helen Chen. Also the actual one I did is like 5 feet wide haha. Super large. I Couldn't be happier though. I'm ready to apply my skill to my own work now. Possibly gonna re work this old Bran drawing and make it more like the one up above. Also should I move to tumblr? Would any one follow me?

Old Sketch

This is a few month old sketch of my girlfriend in the garage making a blanket with her loom. If you're wondering what "sammitch" is I have 2 step brothers named Sam and Mitch. I just pretend it says sandwich haha.

Speed Painting

Did a 30 minute speed painting in photoshop with some new brushes including one of Dice Tsutsumi's. I did it with no thumbnail, just followed the color and it lead to a pterodactyl because I was thinking of The Good Dinosaur.

Been a while...

A FKA Twigs album cover painting i'm slowly working on. A comic I made in 10 minutes at 3 am a few weeks back. Also a piece of Feast concept art I recreated in 20 minutes. A Quick light study of my bedroom. Then some random doodle and  a painting in my sketchbook.
