Gulp Missile
I’m happy with this sketch but not really very excited by how the colours ended up. Might have to take another crack at it sometime.
Bonus: here’s how things looked while masked up.

I almost forgot to post today but I’ll squeeze in a post and backdate by an hour. Since it’s late I can’t really think of much to say along with the art, so enjoy.
Smash Brothers
For some months I’ve been meaning to start work on a massive poster with the entire Smash Bros cast. Of course with new characters being announced regularly for Smash 4, I’ve had a great excuse to not start that work. Besides, the prospect of fitting some 50 characters or so into a single image terrifies me.
Still, I needed an idea for something to scribble today, so I got started on the Smash Bros. What was going to be the massive poster has instead turned into the original 12. Much more reasonable. There’s a bunch of white space though because I thought I’d need to fit four times as many characters in!
If I was to paint this it’d need a lot of refinement first. But it was a fun exercise in seeing who I could draw from memory (Mario, Link, Samus, Pikachu, Fox, Ness) and who I needed to look up reference for (Captain Falcon, Kirby, DK, Yoshi, Luigi, Jiggly). It surprised me because I’ve never drawn Samus before but I have drawn some of the others. I guess part of it was that I started out scratching things in very low detail but decided to be more detailed for later characters.
Watercolour Critters
Practice pieces from the last couple of nights. I’m trying to get more comfortable with leaving the white of the paper shining through. It frequently requires more forethought than I usually have while painting.
