Ninth Circle - Astaroth redesign

I will hopefully be updating much more regularly, starting now. Family has visited and left, I've been on a bike trip and gotten super sore...all left that I can do is draw, right?

And so, draw I shall. [flash of lighting]

Also, I'll be working on Ninth Circle stuff that you won't see -- so I'll be working on more stuff than it looks like (like pages and website design!) so just keep that in mind before you judge me.

DS - Astaroth Thumbs

Ninth Circle - Astaroth

Boo, lava and multiple light sources and creatures. I need to practice all these things! Which means that Astaroth is in for a redesign soon.

DS - Creature Thumbs

Still Can Tattoo, take 2000

Yeah, I've pretty much resigned myself to be working on this design for the rest of eternity. Here's another edit!

Cower - Colosseum Color

Starting to figure out how to go from a greyscale sketch to color...this looks significantly better than my prior straight-to-color attempts, so I have hope! Still having difficulty getting the level of detail I want into my environments, so I'll probably post something soonish that is hyper-detailed.

Summer? Really?

It is, isn't it! And I'm so ready. I have big plans for this summer, big plans.

To keep myself on course, I'm gonna throw down the weekly goals now:
- two fully fleshed concepts
- two "daily" sketches (the fact that I'm doing two a week instead of one a day sort of minimizes their dailyness...but the principle behind the thing remains!)
- two comic pages (to begin when the author finally starts their summer -- you're close!)

That said, these goals may not come to fruition until all my family comes and goes, because it's gonna be crazy hectic -- so, Juneish.

Other things to accomplish this summer include, but are not limited to:
- a mini sketchbook of all summer adventures
- beginning work on undermeaning, if not finishing it
- finalizing the still can tattoo design
- designing and launching the website for the Ninth Circle
- collecting, making, and compiling a useable library of texture brushes
- filling resingular with good, current concept art
- catching up on games (looking at you, Portal 2)

Finally, Ninth Circle will launch mid July!

Cower - Colosseum

Finally. I finally figured this damned colosseum out. And it stemmed from thumbnails! So I'll definitely be trying to do those some more. Slight explanation until I render a better concept of this, where you can actually see what's going on: the spheres are cameras recording and live-feeding the fights, which are happening on the different tiers of the colosseum in the background; the audience is seated around the tiered colosseum, with many screens showing the live feed. Higher detail sketch coming soon (possibly with color?). 

Env - Torchlit

So, this started out as a design for the colosseum as well -- this colosseum is giving me serious trouble. But! I think I did a thumb for a fantastic idea...so we'll see if I can convert that to a full concept. Fingers crossed!
