Wonder what this will turn into? Tried the whole just random strokes thing to make a base, and I’m trying to sculpt what I see from it. WOOHOO TRACK PAD PAINTING!
Recently had a conversation I could probably write many paragraphs about! And Christmas/New Year’s is coming up as well. Clean art slate please? That’s its own post, though. And that’s for another time.
And here’s what that last painting started out like. On Sketchbook Express. I REALLY need to get a Sensu brush eventually(mainly cause, it has a super nifty smart-device stylus to doodle with).
At least it came out a lot better than the last Sketchbook express thing I exported and finished in Photoshop.:P

My most recent dabbling around. <3 Axton.
MY LOVE IS MY TURRET!
…okay that was an entirely different game reference.:P
Painting finished! I’ve done my part… now Guild Wars 2 and the 25th AND 28th(I want my CE physical goodies!)… get here faster!:D
My Sylvari Warrior- she will rock. Rock hard indeed. And I need to finish getting some HOM stuff for her!
This is also a mark of my skills before engaging in studying. Studying has been something I have needed to do, and I’m excited to dig my hands into that and rebuild a lot of technique and other concepts. Self-education seems a lot more exciting than it did in college. Go figure!
Just a progress post of the painting I’ve finished.:) Painting in the next post. A ton of fun!
This was originally just meant to be a silly more cartoony doodle cause I was bored. I’m glad I took it through to the end, as the idea grew a bit apart over time- not that I mind!
More progress! It’s at the sandbox fun-stage.
..and the pruning stage. Just gotta trim the edges up a bit, and the extra leaf in the hair was not a good thing afterall…
…
No more puns, I promise!
Sylvari -Awaken from the Dream- Painting
I figured I’d paint up a doodle to get a practice video in. I’m pleased with the end result, and haven’t posted it here yet. But hey, a video is just as good! I think.
Apologies for the black bar on the bottom- this was edited in a different program pre iMovie, and then iMovie got some fancy ideas. Won’t happen next time, since I’ll just use Vegas for the whole thing. Also, I guess that’s why I used a doodle for the test video.:P
Finished: http://rubigrotto.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d58aayg
So, this is what I’ve been working on! It’s simple, it’s no reference, and it’s just a WIP right now. I’m doing this mainly to get back into the swing of things.
Recently, I got a letter published in ImagineFX Issue #85(that’s the August one, it’s on US newsstands right now), and I’m excited about that! It’s not my art yet, but still.:)
I think the topic is quite interesting- the benefits of online art education in lieu of a college program that may fall short of expectations, or the fact that many do not possess the money to simply go back to college and spend cash on an art degree. Then there’s me- who already graduated, and going back just isn’t viable right now financially or otherwise.
Enjoy this… cause color may not see this blog again for a while after this is done… since studies will be coming after this more than likely. Maybe I’ll toss a few color studies in as well to mix things up.
