GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

I will now be doing LIVE FEEDS OF MY ART! They will be linked to my blog and yes, I will warn you ahead of time. I plan on doing one tonight and I will give a heads up before hand. I may do one tomorrow as well. I will be using Ustream, which does have a chat function, so I will be able to chat with you while I draw!

I'm Still Here

I will be drawing today. I will also try to upload Lesson 3, but for some reason every time I go into the folder to even click on the file my computer completely freezes and gives me a blue screen. Same with the costume video. I may have to just completely redo them :(

On another note, I've been really really busy, especially now that I have a new job. We've been trying to move a friend of mine up here, looking at houses, I'm still building an arcade, and of course taking care of other business like bills and the dog. So, I just wanted everyone to know I'm still here. And to bleed over to my "Not So Critical Gamer" blog, I feel like a sim who's doing really well at work, it's just not the career he wanted.

Contest Winner Mark Lemay

Mark Lemay's picture is finally done. It's not as good as I would have liked it, but it's up none the less. I may go back and tweak it a little, but this is the finished and final product for now. He requested his Dungeons & Dragons character, Ruo, from the Legacy of Kryos campaign I ran a while back. Ruo is the son of Drakk Fireborn, Mark's original character. I wanted to give Ruo a sense of peace with a hint of longing, so I decided to draw him looking deep into the mountains at sunset. It is rumored his father, Drakk, has taken up residence in the mountains and became somewhat of a hermit since Ruo's mother was killed. Ruo is also an assassin, raised and trained by his uncle, Bael.

Pretty Colors

I was randomly inspired by day of the dead sugar skulls to do this one. just something random i threw together.

On Nature

With all the beautiful scenery and object's I've found here in Colorado, I've decided I'm going to attempt to create more things out of nature. One of my first goals is to find a really nice tree stump, spray primer it, and then with acrylic paints draw some "street" graffiti on it. I also intend to create traditional things, such as walking sticks, shillelaghs, flutes, pipes, etc.

For those of you who used to watch my youtube for my costume pieces, I'm sorry I took them down, but with my new video camera I intend to go over every piece of equipment I own eventually. Unfortunately, I live very far from any civilization, much less a larp such as Amtguard, so I have no need to drag all that stuff out of boxes. Just be patient and I promise I will post it eventually!

This foe is beyond any of you...

Hey guys, I decided to do something a little different this week. Since I've started the D&D campaign (technically pathfinder) it got me back into a fantasy mood, so I pulled out John Howe's Fantasy Drawing Workshop book and dove straight into the Balrog. I didn't read anything that he said to do, I only looked at the pictures and mimicked what I saw and this was the result. In my opinion the best digital drawing I've done yet. Check out the youtube link here as well.
