Busy Month

Gah! No posts for October yet? This simply won't do.
Unfortunately the last month has literally whizzed by in a flash. I can't believe we have a little over a month left of this semester. As for that portfolio scholarship I tried out for, turned out a close friend of mine won along with a few classmates. All of who deserved it :)

Here's what I've been up to during the last few weeks:

1)

1)Progression of my second practice oil painting (the fox hat being the first) of my fiance' Ryan.

2)

2)Progress shot of my third practice painting. I'm painting a scene of my Bastet statue. It's farther along now but I'll have to take photos of that later (and I will).

3)

3)The very beginnings of my final painting for my painting class this semester.

4)

4)A few photos from Zombie walk. All my best ones are on Facebook.

Now for sketches from my sketchbook!

Most of these sketches are of my new Werewolf Apocalypse character (a kinfolk, still nameless...), some SCION:Hero, life drawings, and chibies of me and my friends Werewolf characters XD And the naked girl is from SOCA. I didn't like the other SOCA drawings enough to post :/

So that's what I've been doing recently...
Also, here are sketches from the first half of the month that I posted at my school blog (blog for photography class, I'm going to delete it eventually)

Foxy Painting

I finally finished my first oil painting! It's a practice painting so I could learn how to paint fur in preparation for my final painting in my Illustration class, which will be my fiance' Ryan dressed as a Frazetta-ish viking. I say 'Frazetta-ish' because I'm not oiling him up or having him scantily clad or anything, that would just be strange to explain, especially on critique day :s

example
I love seeing his brushstrokes. Hopefully I can see some of his work in person but for now high resolution jpegs will have to do. I'm going to keep researching his work in hopes that I can improve my paint work by studying him. Maybe I can find an art book of his or something. We'll see.

But first, here's my painting!



Painting with my hat <3 I'm looking forward to the weather getting cooler so I can start wearing it again.

Myspace Pimpage

Quick post before I get to homework, I updated my myspace page with artwork and I made it public so more people can see it. It's still no professional website but I'm hoping to take a dream-weaver class next semester. I've got the myspace for networking now, I just hope it works. *fingers crossed*

To Do:
-Get gift prints made
-(Possible) C.C. Halloween pic
-Or Maybe Not comic pages
-Gothic and Sweet lolita prints- COLOR THEM
-gothic lolita bookmark-color

I'M GETTING THINGS DONE!!! 8D
NOW TO DO HOMEWORK D8

Madonna and Child Painting- WIP

Hello all!
This update is about a painting that I had in my head and have finally started today. It is the robot of Sara Winters, and a robot baby, posing like the many "Madonna and Child" paintings (I've seen so many in my Survey of Western Art II class that they stuck in my head). This will accompany my Clockwork Queen comic, maybe as back cover. One day.



I haven't gotten to do a lot of work on the comic itself so it's nice to be able to work on this. School has been taking over my weekends. But I did get some new comic book paper (manga paper actually) but I really like working with it so I'm hoping to at least get some layout pages done. It's smaller than the usual 11x17 inches, this stuff is A4 sized. I prefer working on a smaller scale. So hopefully I'll have some pages done by the end of the quarter, but I'm not totally counting on it. Unfortunately school comes first then fun art. I'm trying to get all A's this quarter, and the next (I managed to snag all sequential classes! so happy!) so I can get into the honors program at VCU when I transfer next fall. Ugghh *dies*

The Plan for this break

I'M GOING HOME TOMORROW! I've been feeling a mix of excitement and tieredness. All the work I've been doing is finally getting to me. My back has been killing me and I get randomly tired at different times, tired enough for naps. I feel like such an old lady. But I'm looking forward to being able to draw for myself now. I plan on doing more work for clockwork queen, and the steampunk story that Ian and I are calaborating on.
I'm also looking forward to making presents and fancy christmas cards and cookies for my loved ones. I plan on keeping the creativeness flowing rather than just vegitating infront of the computer. I also want to sew myself a nice black lolita skirt during the break to bring back to SCAD. Hopefully I can get some fabric at Joeanna's since Wallmart has had nothing I like -_-
I'm also considering getting a DA subscription. Maybe during the summer when I have job ^^ Then I can update it during school when I have stuff to post. Speaking of school... I have just completed my frist year at SCAD! I'm so happy, and full of feelings of accomplishment I am a sophmore now!
well, here's a toast to being tired, over worked, under SCAD's thumb, and going home. HUZZAH

New Doll + school work

I decided to change the doll for this month. I made one of my new steampunk character "Layla Von Gedge". She's a genuis. <3
I'm still working on her so I'll post sketches when she's more developed and fleshed out.

Today I will be working on finishing the pencils for my storyboards (Children of Man), and doing some more pages for the Clockwork Queen mini comic.

off to work...
