WIP- Tropical Dragon

I dug up the photos I took while drawing this. Apologies for the awful quality…I still have no scanner and it was taken with my phone.

I was messing around with different photoshop brushes than usual- these are the outcomes.
The building is based off a dream I had the other night where my school was on a cliff surrounded by a rainforest; I’d like to finish it but I can’t get it to look true enough to the dream. The other two are just random character doodles.

Ridiculously artblocked, which is frustrating…I have so much inspiration right now. These are some scribbles I’ve puked out in the past week and pretty much all I’ve been able to manage.

I suck at environments and would very much like to get better.
So I drew these:
They were quick and messy. I have yet to refine the style. I get so frustrated with my landscape paintings because the colours are always so ridiculously cartoony.
Enjoy!
WIP- Nuclear Winter
I did my disappearing act again…sorry about that. >_> If you want to keep updated my deviantART is where I am the most active.
I have no scanner and no room for one since I recently moved states and I’m living in tiny student accommodation. TINY. I also don’t take screenshots of my art much because I don’t take long to finish things. Well, except for stuff like this…

Over twenty hours of work over two days. It is 11am and I have not slept yet. Art is really bad for me.

Below you will find some sketches from the past month. I’m going to buy a sketchbook today, when the shops start to open. I’m going to draw in it every day and it will be a kind of visual journal. It will make this blog’s purpose less redundant. I don’t see the point in uploading finished, refined images here without some kind of purpose- like WIPs or tutorials- since they get dumped on my DeviantART *and* Facebook page already.
It’s my birthday today! Attempting to not sleep for 17-ish hours. Oh energy drinks, how I love thee.
Hopefully lots of art will ensue. Sleep deprivation is a wonderful source of creativity…most of the time.
WIP- Apocalypse Please
Here’s two videos containing timelapses! Part 1 is the underpainting and part 2 are the colours. I figure it’s more effective than showing WIP pictures (and it’s much more fun.) It took three and a half hours, and as per usual I used photoshop CS4 and a graphics tablet.

WIP- A Warm Place
Some concept art for the world I made up- long overdue. I need to draw more landscapes. Drawing them is relaxing, and it feels more natural than figure painting to me (I always thought I had the opposite problem.)
I’m happy with how it came out considering it’s my first real attempt. If you have any critique, please, let me know- I want to get better.

Drawn with Photoshop CS4 and a graphics tablet. It took around about the five hours mark.

I would like to think that with the New Year my art block would go away. Sadly, no…but I did doodle these at my father’s house when I went to visit him a few days ago. I slapped some colour on to make up for my lack of any other art.
These characters aren’t traditionally human, but when I’m art blocked, for some reason, humans are all I can draw.

I’ve finished my course as of Wednesday. I’m in the process of cleaning off my art desk, it’s become messy from neglect these past few months.
Here are some more sketches. The pencil ones were all, as usual, drawn during my time at TAFE- but they’re a little more recent than the last lot. The digital sketches were all done three-ish days ago.
The skull-faced-zombie was a trial sketch for a new Gabriel design, I want to make him look more frightening and gross. I can’t take him seriously as he is. The human sketches are some drawings I did off the top of my head to practice human faces/expressions (which is important, since my comic is very populated with them.) It’s frustrating feeling like I don’t have any particular style of drawing people.
