WHUT. ANOTHER W.I.P?!

My life is full of W.I.P's, not whips...that would be worrying.
I need to learn to attention span and sort myself out.

HAVE ANOTHER HALF FINISHED IMAGE. :B

/yay. ;A;! I really hope I actually finish this one, I quite like the compostition. Experimenting with texture brushes is so much fun, though i'm not sure if the polka dot areas just make the image seem pixelated. I'm hoping nay as I do quite like the variation it brings to the girl, it takes away from the god awful lines.It's okay though as soon as I get all my work back from my Tutor I can post it up and then realise I have been totally productive all throughout March. (Y)

EDIT: Been working on it for a while, decided to give it a semi-realism feel. Not sure I like the face though..

How to fix the obesity crisis.

Unfortunately I have not had 3 of my editiorial projects back from my tutor as of yet so I am unable to post the remainder of this long winded Editorial project. But here alas is the final brief answered. Oh what a son of a house this brief was to fulfil. I spent days wracking my brain for ideas, none really came to me if i'm brutally honest with myself. However I did manage to produce this. :/


Although I'm unsure about the speech bubble in the first image, Advice? :<
Oh god now to get on with this godamn essay. /cry.

Octapussy.

I Tried drawing a concept simillar to this one a year ago, but I failed very miserably, but now, I have the skeelz ;D! Hopefully I have the effort and patience to finish this and it doesnt end up abandoned like most of my personal work these days.
A WIP~ I shall update again when It's complete!

Treasure In New York.

The 3rd brief of ours in this ongoing Editorial Illustration project (The second I still need to scan however it's temporarily handed in.) I was at first ridiculously excited about a brief surrounding the subject of Pirates, but the specifications of the project meant that I was also required to incorporate a map depicting both New York and Gardiners Island, THIS WAS HARD, I have learnt from doing this NOT TO MESS WITH THE MAP.

Long Overdue.

 

I promised a good friend of mine years and years ago that I would draw her a picture of her favourite game character, Seymour Guado (FinalFantasyX). 4 years on, I still hadn't drawn it and the girl is almost 20 years of age, so I finally got off of my nioce bam to draw her man. But my word was he hard to draw, no matter what angle, position, pose I drew him in he just didn't look right realistically. So I snuck back into my old style of working to be able to create him exactly how he is supposed to be. In a way it was refreshing to draw in such a cartoon style as I tend to want to complicate every drawing recently. I just hope she enjoys the drawing!

Smoke Filled Room.

Editorial Shenanigans. Say whut? Editorial?! D:
What a strange series of projects we have been given recently, I am unsure whether editiorial illustration is really my cup of tea, but i've given it a try.
1st of 6 images.

Hrm....I'm also unsure whether I actually like this image...oh well I guess.

Is this real life?

What do you do when you're bored and have pretty much exhausted you're games collection? (bar Metroid )
Draw portraits. Very roughly, but a portrait all the same. Though Im sick of drawing from internet references, so I'm happy that I have a suitable test subject to hand haha.
From drawing this I've really come to remember just how much I love drawing people, I may even start a few more portraits in the near future, it's refreshing to draw something so real.

A portrait of a person whom a life without wouldnt be a life worth living.
