I wasn't really happy at all with the last version, so I wanted to just throw some new colors onto it, then i realized I had lost the file yesterday when the electricity surged again and my comp turned off. So I sort of repainted this almost entirely. Base is still there though, and I am 500 times more happy with this.
Got a few more of these lined up on a list.
I always thought Shy Guys in Mario really got screwed, so I decided to beef them up a bit. For the most part, they were just a useless level one enemy in, that literally got taken advantage of when ever Mario and crew rolled into town. They really are bullied little things. Highly creepy though. Those faceless masks sort of freaked me out when I was a kid.
Also, reading through the first Game of Thones book... so just as I got sick of armor... and medieval things... not so much anymore. So picture me shaking my fists emphatically as I yell "More Direwolves, more ice creatures... MORE SNOW."
Sorry for the no post the last two days. Got incredibly distracted by all the e3 happenings and the weather and just sort of forgot to do my sketch. I'll try to multi post soon.
Here's a Koopa from Mario I made while eating my breakfast this morning. Nothing too fancy
Bonus Sunday sketch! Now, I will make sandwiches where the only topping is bacon. Good day.
I'll admit, not really sure where I was going with this. Sort of an alien landscape, but I feel like that's the easy excuse, when in reality I was just farting around in photoshop. Wouldn't mind trying something like this again, but with more of a goal in mind...
Here is another oldie since I haven't gotten to any sketching today yet. This was, I think, the last thing I painted in a classroom. And by painting, I mean lugging my intuos tablet and laptop into a classroom. This was cool because everyone in the class had to take some sort of picture of themselves, posing with a hat on, then the pictures were dispersed randomly for each student to draw as a short activity. While I don't think I got a likeness, C.F. Payne (who taught this class) said a likeness wasn't the point of the assignment, so I happily cranked out a cowgirl that sort of looked like the girl it was based on.
This sketch has been a long time coming. I sketched this out in pencil on a car ride over 2 years ago. Went digging through my sketchbook and came across it again- just had to color it. I miss this sort of cartoony, style I used to use, but I leaned towards the realistic so I could learn a bit faster about value and color.
Not a whole lot of story on this one, but I believe the over arching idea was just to put down the sort of image I saw while listening to the Fleet Foxes's Sun Giant. Drew it while going home for a weekend from school, and since I'm in ohio, the fields all around the highway had an effect.
Not sure if this is still a sketch-a-day, since I think I took it a bit further than that, but I'm putting it in that category anyway.
