Well, for those of you who care, no, I'm not dead, yet. For some reason or other, I decided to attempt a painting. I THINK I know what I'm doing... so far as I know. 

Your thoughts would be much appreaciatted, even if it IS far from being finished, this is about... an hour and a half of work.


My manga, finally started!

Again... sorry for my hiatus... I hardly post here anymore, but I just wanted to let you all know that I started my manga. The final version of my cover for the first chapter happens to be this little image here. 

 

If you want to read the first page of my manga, and unfortunately, the only one completed so far, check out this deviation I uploaded on my deviantart. It's only a test, so your opinion is very greatly appreciatted! ^_^

On a related note, I started off the summer with so many ambitious art projects in mind, and I wanted to complete 'em all! My time, unfortunately, was cut short, and I have hardly done any art at all! I seriously hope, though, that when I find a job, I will better be able to organise my time and be able to really sit down and really do artwork, for once! =/


Two random images related to my manga I sketched out in photoshop a few weeks ago. 






Second one, I'm not too proud of, but... I've improved since, so... That's what counts, I guess...

I finally decided to practice my coloring, because I wanted to decently color the cover I'm working on, so I drew a dragon, and colored it the best I could, all in oekaki.

Paintchat galore 8D

Sorry about my hiatus, but I doubt anyone will notice, since there's about four people who read my journal.. not even, it's more like two. Here's some artwork anyways. Done in paintchat, where everyone draws on the same canvas and can chat on this java program straight in the browser. To save an image, one has to screenshot it. Here's a few of the drawings I've saved.

Hear me qietly roar!!! =O








I personally hate the coloring on the last one.. But I'll soon learn how to color without ripping your eyeballs out. All I need is a source of info >_>... Ah, well..

I dreadfully hated some parts of the sketch I posted a few posts ago, so I decided to fix it all up and make it better, so I can ink it without feeling bad about my drawing. Tell me if anything should be fixed, 'cause I plan on inking and coloring this soon, so I can start off my comic.

Who will conquer?


P.s: I have finally chosen two scenes from His dark materials out of all my my favorites that I'll draw in full color in photoshop, if you have any specific scenes in mind, I will draw it, too, if I have the time

Well, maybe you aren't this extreme, but you're in league with the crazy scientists/mathmeticians of today. Very few people have the talent of math and science is something takes a lot of brains as well. Thank whosever God you worship, or don't worship, so thank no deity whatsoever in your case, for you people! Most of us would have died off without your help.

Some sketches

 Some birds and Omen, the main character for my manga, doing some magic.



 ,
magic, Dragon, mystyk, fantasy

Here's a preliminary sketch I came up with, it'll be the cover for the first chapter of my manga, a fantasy epic called "Omen". I just wanted to see what you guys thought of this before I inked and colored. I personally like it very much, but I'd still like to get more than just my own opinion.  Also, does anyone have any ideas for a good website where I can host my websomic? Not deviantart or drunkduck or keenspot, please, I've tried all of those and it didn't work out. Also, in the final colored version of this, I plan to have digitally painted water, anyone have any tips as to  how to paint decent water? It's harder than it looks, I've tried, I should know...



I hate it when I constantly break LJ layouts... >_<))))

And as a side note, I'm also planning a series of His dark materials Images. I will be drawing the most important scenes in the books, and also my favorite, which aren't necesserally the most important, but certanly awesome, nonetheless. I'll post a list of them later on, when I've figured out exactly which scenes I want to draw.

Swamp dragon

Microns are the best inking pens ever!!! Allthough, I'm horrible at inking, I ruin all my drawings when I ink... This is just an idea that came to me. I originally wanted to give him ripped wings, but I forgot to do that, and when I started inking, it was too late. Colored with colored pencils, 'cause it's been a long time since i've colored with traditional media. Don't know if I'll pursue this design and make more drawings or not, depends. I also tried to give him some texture, but it only shows up really well in some areas. I honestly think you can get results as good as copic markers with colored pencil.



Also, I need a good website to host my manga. I'm going to start it soon, keep an eye out for the lineart for the cover of the first chapter, at least.

My first Oekaki

My first oekaki. I just wanted to try it out for the fun of it. I didn't quite get the handle of the tools, and I completely messed up my color palette near the end, but it was still fun to do. I don't do backgrounds, does it show? :XD:

Photoshop drow sketch

Well... Here's a drow I sketched up in photoshop. I want to get some feedback before I ink and color. Tell me what you guys think!
 

His dark materials practice

magic, Dragon, mystyk, fantasy







Here's some practice I've done. I decided to draw characters from the wonderfull "his dark materials" Series. Since this is practice, I did use reference. I used [link] for lyra, [link] for will, and [link] for pantalaimon, as a pine marten. I'm still not very pleased with my line quality, and I think my drawings still look a little awkward, but, I also think that this is a major improvement. I might still not be perfect, but I'm getting better! Tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions, they'd be appreciatted. I might be drawing my favorite scenes from his dark materials in full color, later on.

I return from my lengthy hiatus from livejournal, and bring you the sketches I was able to scan in using my new scanner!  Of course, you can see them all at my deviantart account, at www.dragonartcomics.deviantart.com . If enough people start visiting my journal, I will be posting WIP's and unfinished images, etc, in my livejournal. 

I give you my favorite recent drawings!

I've started working on the art trade I have, so here's the lineart, 'cause I love to show unfinished things and spoil the surprise!

 

And here's the finished version of my logo, I don't like the coloring, but I'm still learning!



P.s: If you want to see my finished artwork from now on, you can visit www.dragonartcomics.deviantart.com . I'll be posting any unfinished images and updates here.

Unfinished logo

I have recently gotten a tablet. Which now means that I can draw to my heart's content, and be able to post it for all to see... Well... here's my logo, still unfinished, because I need to add the colors, but that won't take long. I have an art trade and a request to do after, which is awesome, because I love drawing.

Cool new desktop

I did some research on google, and found out how to change your windows xp theme easily. I chose to configure my desktop to a funky mac-like state. I am very fond of it. 
If any of you are interested in how I did this, just ask me, and I'll be more than glad to help you.






P.s: Still no word on that scanner... might succumb to using my digital camera to upload my sketches...

userpic troubles

I've tried using the picture from my previous post for my userpic, but it hasn't worked... I got THIS userpic, which I am very pleased with, from Neondragon 

That's all for now

Hello all

Well... I got a livejournal account. I will be using this account to post pictures and to ask questions once in a while. I don't have many drawings to show you, because I do not have a scanner. I might soon, though.

One question I want to ask is does anyone know a good style I could use? I don't much like the one's livejournal lets you choose from. Here's my best picture so far, but once I have a scanner, I will be uploading more, and will possibly even start a manga. Im not sure...
