Wolf etching #5

Image
Getting closer to the end. Need to darken the neck and then add some general shading and then on to the next one.

Wolf Etching Update #2

Image
Back to etching my wolf. Lots of little hair detail to make and then start the fur shading. Slightly different from feathers, but the idea is the same.

Mutant Bunny

Image
This started out cute and while I still think its cute, the bunny has mutated slightly lol Too many radiated carrots maybe? This was just supposed to be a quick little thing so I could get use to the controls on Sculptris, so didn't want a lot of detail. I just couldn't help myself and turned him into a bunny creature, still cute tho :)

Hop Hop Hop

Decided to make a cute tubby bunny in Sculptris . It is very simple and probably wont be pink when I am finished, but I might be in a pink art mood. I wanted to keep the bunny cute so decided to just use spheres to build up the body instead of molding every part. It needs a bit more work to add details and probably a bit more modeling, but I am liking how it looks so far. Sculptris is free and pretty easy to use, can be a little buggy but its worth trying if a person wants to get started with 3D modeling.

Seals #??

Image
I've forgotten how many updates I have done on these seals, probably because every update so far has been small sections of the rock done. Inch by inch its getting done, just taking forever lol I started to vector an image I drew awhile ago, just for practice really. Might use it on cards, but that all depends on when I get it done. t

Etching Update

Image
I managed to work a bit more on the rock part of the seal etching before my hand went numb and I had to stop. Not really a good idea to use a very, very sharp pointy tool when your hand is numb. The thing could do enough damage to need stitches.

Etching Update

This rock is taking forever, so many little nooks and crannies. Almost half done with the rock thankfully. I think it looks pretty good, will need a bit of shading to round it out a bit more, and it also needs a water reflection so its not floating in the air lol

Seal Etching

Image
Does it make more sense now what this etching is? Alexandra guessed right with seal.  It going to take awhile to get the rock done before I starts on the seals. There are two of them on the A3 sized plate, so the rock is pretty big.

Sunday Sketches

Image
A quick 5 minute sketch of a Rhinoceros. I should draw Rhinos more, very interesting to draw and try to get that rough skin texture.

Finished Goat

Image
Finally finished this little Goat, Its A5 in size, so shouldn't have probably taken as long as it did lol. Now on to the metal plates and to finish the digital dragons.

Goat #2

Image
Slow progress on the small goat etching.Need to finish the basic fur texture, shading and the horns. And then its one more thing I can cross off my ever growing list of things to do.

Throwback Thursday Art

Image
A creepy crawly from 1996 when I was 15. I really wanted a tarantula when I was younger, but dad is deathly allergic and most other people are too creeped out lol

Goat Etching

Image
Still working on the Barn Owl etching, I just need to get a smaller etching done so I can possibly print it at uni. Might not be able to print until after the break but the guy in charge of etching said it wouldn't be a problem, but to just keep an ear out for when the next etching workshop is. Had to show him bunch of the plates I etched, and it felt like I was going to a job interview lol

Throwback Thursday Art

Image
Art from when I was 15 lol Odd looking horse, with a net for a fence?? Kudu! I love Kudu, such pretty looking antelope. Its very handy that I use to date everything I drew, makes dating these a lot easier. Now I hardly ever date anything since I usually make a blog post with the art in it which helps date things.

Squirrel!!

Image
My little tribal squirrel :p We had to create a world for a project and I created a planet where squirrels are the dominant species :) I wish I had of had more time to actually sew a squirrel stuffed animal but I could in the future. Could use all kinds of colourful fuzzy fabric to make one lol Changed the feathers and added a little spear to him. It will be in a box surrounded by a bunch of sticks and possibly lit up with a little LED if it looks ok when lit up.  I was going to have a flying squirrel as well decorated, but once again ran out of time. I went for cute and fluffy for the project as I didn't really want to go the dark dystopian route which is really common for people to do.

Hoot

Image
The start of a digital painting :) Needs a lot more work but I think it is starting to look like a little owl.

More Feathers

Image
Slow going as usual lol The feathers do look like they are twisting at the moment so thats going to plan for the moment :) Debating on whether to add a background to this, since the bird is sitting on a tree stump surrounded by pine trees. Might look more interesting with a background rather then just a floating bird.

Run Away!!

Image
  That eraser is 2.5 inches long, so thats a far sized spider o.0 No sure where he went....   Another ink sketch. Need to refine the sketch of a highland cow and then I can draw out the lineart for the paintings. I haven't really done anything since Thursday. Been dealing with a headache from hell, painful legs and just general fatigue, so have been doing a lot of reading. Better then nothing I guess. Now I have to play catch up even more with college work since I missed Friday :/
