Summer and it's thimbles and trinkets

Just a few pieces that were done over the Summer. Been working with digital practice little by little, yo.

Artistic Hobos, bro.

Saw a post on tumblr making fun of the thought of becoming crimefighting artistic hobos when the future came around. I got inspired.

The Crooked Taker

Random sketch for The Crooked Fork.

Jestering Around

Couple o' jester designs I was fooling around with when coming out with a design for Pocket from Christopher Moore's absurd novel Fool.

Ooodellally, bro.

Indulged in Disney nostalgia today and I just had a want to draw certain faces.

Brownie points to whosoever gets the reference.

sketchbook - Heen

Quick sketch of Invierno Heen.

Radagast the Brown

Alrighty, rather self-explanatory. I sketched up Radagast the Brown from the Tolkien universe and decided to color the lovable wizard in. I am so upset by how few folks pay this guy any mind! Radagast is such a wonderful character. I will forever love this kindly old hippie o' Middle Earth.

A Freaky Gang

Sketch as a personal tribute to a project in-writing that has been going on since 2009 called Decembersville.

An innocent little sketch based on the four main protagonists, nothing more.

Invierno - first batch

Beginning ideas for a concept I wish to bring to life, may it be through the power of a graphic novel series, collaboration, or written works under the title: Invierno.

Summary is quite simple:

In the Winter dimension, the young ice warlock Invierno Heen must take her place as ruler of Dessemberzan, Winter's grand domain. But in order to do so she must stop her childish-but-mad sibling Sigmo from stealing away what is rightfully hers as well as his takeover of all Winter's kingdoms, meaning to become the almighty maharani. It is all a bloody race of power to see who takes over in the finale, delving into the histories of the tarnished wizards of light that once ruled their world, the redeemed slaves that make up the kingdom of the human race, wretched family histories, all that jazz.

Here's a load of sketches and comics I first did in my sketchbook when pondering over the idea.

Invierno Heen is the young princess who is the destined ruler of Winter - a powerful ice warlock who will take what is hers by force. This comic was when I wanted to get more "in the zone" between the main protagonist (Heen) and the main antagonist, her mad blood brother Invierno Sigmo.

They tend to clash quite a lot.

Below are first sketches as Heen's design is supposed to be simple yet messy and not the very "classic" definition of ladylike.

In come the "Pendulum" first sketches. Awkward-looking light wizards who care only for one another and nobody else. Second sketch above is a draft of the main Pendulum children, leftovers from a rather cruel history yet hanging in there and later Heen's allies; below is a light wizard battling the vicious ruler of the mortals, Queen Kago.

Queen Kago is supposed to look very young, very plain, yet god forbid you threaten her rule.

These are but the beginning pieces done over the last school months. More are on the way. Stay tuned!

Father Time - concept design studies

EDIT - finished at last

For a character design project we currently have for Digital Illustration, I bothered to suck it up and try my hardest to try and at least make my work look like something someone would have spewed out with the intention to look (oh what is the word) "classy"? The concept of Father Time in myth has always been something that stuck to me and so I bothered to play around with the idea.

sketchbook - Heen's attempt at turning

Tiny chunk from my sketchbook to state the obvious that turnarounds are a lot of fun but I am willing to practice them like bloody hell just to make sure a few cookies remain on the tray.

A Fire Alchemist, mayhaps?

Mmm, smells like some good ole randomness, made to thwart me and my desire to work on rather important things such as liberal arts courses. Personal character, nothing much to say, but bear with me on this one: it could be worse, yo.

Our Ruler

Nothing like some bloody nostalgia to spruce up the inner workings of my blog at the mere moment.

A personal piece from a while back based on a project I have been working on for quite a time.
