Sketchbook Saturday #3

Posted on August 17, 2014 Leave a Comment

Posting this on Sunday. I know, I’m bad. I’ve not really made the time to arts this weekend, so I’m feeling a bit stressed that Mega Monday may not get a post.

Anyway, to Sketchbook Saturday. Here are some of the sketches that led into Friday’s drawing, and also some various critters that have turned up in my sketchbooks as of late.

Fan-Art Friday #2: Ranma 1/2

Posted on August 8, 2014 Leave a Comment

Is it any secret that I love Ranma 1/2? Ranma is the first anime that I watched, way back when. I believe it was the OVA How to Boil Water. Good times.

This painting has a way closer camera than I normally ever use. It put me quite out of my comfort zone – not a bad thing, but there are definitely issues with it  as a result. Well, it’s practice!

Three-Dee Thursday #1: Pokémon Shoes

Posted on August 7, 2014 Leave a Comment

These shoes were an impulse buy at Kmart! I decided to paint my current Pokémon team on them for a personal touch.

I started by deciding which shoe each Pokémon would feature on, then sketched each one individually in my sketchbook before transferring the sketch onto the shoe with pencil.

Initially when painting the shoes I used masking tape over the areas of the shoe to keep the white borders of the shoe clean of paint. As I continued and got more confident with the painting I stopped masking these areas and instead painted carefully around them.

I painted each Pokémon separately. Here you can see some different steps in the process – on Kangaskhan I’m putting down some fine guidelines. After doing the guidelines I painted in the colours of each Pokémon with acrylic paint. Once I’m done with the colours and shading, I put down thicker ink lines. Finally, I sealed the shoes with a couple of coats of Mod Podge.

Here are the completed shoes! I’m quite happy with the way they’ve come out. I’ve since trained up a Nidoking; I’ll have to add him to the tongue of one of the shoes!

Fan-Art Friday: The SuperFogeys

Posted on August 1, 2014 2 Comments

Is it Blaugust again already? Oh my!

For 2014 I’m joined once again by John and Thom. Jimmy will hopefully get some stuff up for the last week of August, but will otherwise be absent (he was doing too well, after all, so we sent him off to Sweden). I’m also joined by a host of new Blaugust challengers:

Mark, Paul, Mason, Michael, Rosie, Kevin, Pichy, Laura, Jimmy 2, Shaun, Grant, Brad and probably a few others! Peer pressure is a wonderful thing.

This year I’m aiming to get at least five posts up a week. After last year’s shameful showing I’m a little wary of promising too much but for each day of the week I’m also aiming to get content somewhat like the following up:

  • Fan-Art Fridays for Fan Art of comics, anime, games, whatever else takes my fancy!
  • Sketchbook Saturdays for scribbles, in-progress ideas and art from my sketchbook.
  • Simulacrum Sundays for portraiture, still-lifes, drawing from real-life type stuff
  • Mega Mondays to document the progress of my Pokémon Mega Evolution art project (and to ensure I can’t just use Pokémon for Fridays)
  • TMBG Tuesdays for art inspired by TMBG songs. I’d planned to spend a month doing this after my successful Blaugust 2012 run but ended up too tired to do so. I’m reviving the idea for Blaugust this year!
  • Wheezing Wednesdays for the very worst of my accordion repertoire.
  • Three-Dee Thursdays – documenting projects from throughout the year that have more dimensions to them than just my flat ol’ paintings.

Today’s fan art pieces feature characters from a comic that I also drew last year. It’s the SuperFogeys! Here are a young Spy Gal and Captain Spectacular.

YoungSuperfogeys

Laura brought around some marker pens the other week and I tried them out on a drawing that I decided to turn into Spy Gal. However I forgot that the characters in the SuperFogeys only have four fingers on each hand! John noticed while I was drawing but because I was yet to put the black on Spy Gal’s costume, he assumed I was drawing an alternate version of the character who has the “correct” number of fingers. Nope. Whoops.

The markers were a bit tricky for me. I guess I’m just not that used to how unforgiving they are. So I retreated back to familiar ol’ watercolours for Captain Spectacular and the below painting of Dark Maiden. (Who I also forgot to only put four fingers on, then had to fix half-way through inking).

DarkMaiden

Man, I love Dark Maiden’s costume!

Watercolours – Eeveelutions, Liepard, Mega Venusaur

Posted on February 21, 2014 Leave a Comment

New watercolour paintings! The Eevees started on a whim but I got them done in a weekend, which was pretty cool. They’re my largest watercolour painting to date.

Liepard was painted for NerdbotMk2‘s Twitterdex project.

Mega Venusaur may be the start of me drawing all the mega evolutions. Iunno.

Watercolour Wednesday: The Superfogeys

Posted on August 21, 2013 7 Comments

We’re going from green hair to green skin this week, and over the week I’ve learned that I should have drawn Trigona with three fingers. I make up for it today.

Today’s piece features Zurida, alien villain from The Superfogeys, a comic about superheros somewhat past their prime. She’s accompanied by her son, Percy, as they walk past [spoilers spoilers in fact the rest of this post is probably going to be spoilers].

Zurida

This art depicts a scene that I imagined occurring not long ago in the story (although after showing John my pencils, he questioned whether or not this might actually have happened, I simply retorted that I wanted to draw it so there)

I had a good time thinking about what might be running through Zurida’s head here. Is she proud of her handiwork? Is she just getting on with the task at hand with no time to be sentimental? Perhaps she feels a twinge of regret – not because she’s done wrong, but because she’s granted Michelle eternal youth, while she herself has grown old.

Speaking of old, I did put in a token effort to portray Zurida’s age, but it was all quite secondary to getting the perspective and foreshortening right.

Finally, I liked the juxtaposition provided by Percy’s presence. He has an innocence and dumbness about him, in this picture he definitely wants to linger a bit longer and let the cogs in his head move as he makes the connection between Michelle and his mother.

 

[edit] Argument settled. The whole time I thought Zurida had been running things out of the Society of Heroes, but no, duh, it was her palace.

Three-Dee Thursday: Pokemon Gym Badges

Posted on August 18, 2013 Leave a Comment

I designed these badges and had them 3D printed by Shapeways. The first set is printed in sandstone, and the other set was printed in alumide. For the alumide badges I painted them and then used liquid polymer clay to create the glassy filled-in areas.

I have also printed Johto and Sinnoh badges, however they require additional work to complete.

You can get your own Hoenn badges from my Shapeways store here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1065186/pokemon-gym-badges-hoenn.html

If you’re in Australia, total price may work out cheaper if you buy directly from my Storenvy store: http://chenonetta.storenvy.com/products/2257809-pokemon-badges-hoenn

Contact me if you’re interested in a set of Unova badges.
