An Update on Story

An update on Story :3 Individually doing every hair strand for the fur is tiring XD

Ice queens

Just some quick and rough sketches that I had a lot of fun with the other day :3



The above image is a lady named Astarel, and it's a re-design of this older image.




This last image is a character of mine called Saga- she's completely crazy and thinks that she is the daughter of the Norse Gods. She's fun to draw :D
May as well throw in a portrait of her that I did a couple of months ago-



I learnt so much from doing that portrait, and I really think that I would not be able to do my art work as affectively or as quickly if I hadn't done this piece. The biggest thing I learnt was how to blend colours much more effectively, and also how to do hair. As a result, I absolutely love painting hair now :D

A family portrait

Sort of.... This is something that I'm working on in between uni work and commissions, mainly to keep myself sane by drawing something for myself because I want to, rather than have to. It's also a practice piece as I haven't had the chance to paint feathers or fur in far too long, and also to get myself into the habbit of drawing different poses.



So these are all my characters, which I have neglected for far too long. I haven't drawn some of them in over 4 years.
From left to right- the fluffy blue thing is Blue, the gryffyn above him is Traelavor (Trevor), the sandy coloured critter with the skull for a face is Nout, next to him his Sphinx, and the dragon is Ra'd. There's another one, maybe two characters left to be fitted in there somewhere.

And thought I'd throw this in too- anatomy practice I guess. I was going to do more with it, but I've lost the motivation with everything else that I need to get done.
