Concept - Lexian

I haven't down a proper character design in ages, I realized. I've been so busy practicing other skills, that I haven't done what I actually enjoy doing the most. Which is, frankly, silly. So I'll be doing more character designs. I also haven't worked with this kind of style too much for characters -- I'm not very good at it yet -- this took lots of studies of other people's character design, as well as taking the pose more or less completely from a photograph. I'm working on it.

Lexian is a character I've constantly come back to. I'll probably draw them in the future, and they'll prolly look slightly different than they do here -- they usually do. Those skates are supposed to work only in designated areas, but the Reds have reprogrammed them so they can use them as a form of transit around the cities -- usually for when they're doing illegal things in their dystopic world.

Sixteen pages done on the comic! Don't know if I'll have the fifty I want done before the website is up...but the website will be up in July, for sure, anyway! We might have to start updating it a little later than the prospective date. We'll see, though. I've been doing an average of four pages a week, and expect to keep that up -- we'll see if we can't fit a few more pages in here and there.

This is my animation final from spring semester! As tedious as it was, I really enjoyed this. I'm sure I'll animate again sometime. This is far from polished -- parts of it need to be tweaked, but since that won't happen until fall, at the earliest, I thought I'd put this up. Especially since I've been promising it since the spring.

Still Can Tattoo, Just Kidding

1,000,000,003!

Concept - The Inker

Found in the Swamps, the Inkers roam, marking their territories with a bright, bioluminescent, poisonous blue paint which is produced internally, then secreted through what would on most cats be the scent glands. Because of the thick scents of the Swamps, these cats have adapted to these visual cues. The translucency of their skin allows for them to blend in with their surroundings, until their paint is viewed -- a sign which normally warns off their predators. A close relative to the Inker is the Potter, who tend to use a thin layer of mud to hide their paint deposits, and generally go about life in a stealthier manner. 

Cower - Initial Factory Exterior

Just working out thoughts for what the factories/processing plants could look like from the exterior. I'll touch this up and post a better version later (unless I find a different direction to go in!).

Cower - Factory Thumbs

Still Can Tattoo, 1,000,000,002

This might be it, folks. Also, a friend of a friend may do this, making it significantly cheaper and cooler. We'll see. I'm sending them this image to see what they think!

DS - Chameleon Speed Paint

From National Geographic! They have such great photos, and I'm trying to practice my speed painting, so these are probably going to show up more often.

Comic update: 13/50 pages complete!

But, getting closer, I think! Thanks to Snake Eyes (an artist friend of mine) and Clark for tips and tidbits.

Concept - Silver Deer

Still Can Tattoo, one billion

Cue rage. Will I ever be happy with this design? Don't answer that. I want to get this in August.

Cower - Mama Dairy Detail

Working on details! It's something I'm bad at. I always either don't have enough, or else I have too much and the image is too busy. Mama Dairy on one of the spaceships! More Cower stuff to come soon, I hope -- and we're working on the comic again!
