Backgrounds

Here's some stuff I've been working on for class in various states of finishedness. I've got a bathroom for a king, a temple courtyard thing, and a fisherman's cottage. I leave it to you to figure out which is which. If you can't tell, I've really failed.

Cliffside

Mr. Jones goes to work

I don't know where I'm going with this - just messing around.

What? More?

A bird and a messy painting that I just went with as it happened. I was just playing around in Painter, but I rather like it.

Bull

Apparently this guy whips bulls. And judging by the awkward perspective, they are pygmy bulls. Oh well. I was trying out some composition stuff.

Elephant!

Painting on Andrew's Cintiq! I want one so bad

Zebra

Winter fox and dumb bird

Brrrr it's cold out there. I was working on a portfolio project in charcoal and did this doodle on the side.


And here's a dumb bird. Started out drawing Big Bird and it morphed into this.

Close call!

Small octopi are often fiercer fencers to make up for their diminutive size.


These two are just little warmups done from pictures on Hans Bacher's Photography blog.

Alleyway

I'm just posting this because it's been such a long time since I posted anything. Just a quick little sketch before bed.

I think I'm going to turn on the followers thing on the side, since apparently I have one! So if you want to also follow, go for it. It would be exciting to have more than one. :P

Phil's Advent

Phil's advent is moving to its own blog - it's easier that way - then they aren't scattered all over this one.

Phil's Advent

Advent: Day 2

"Dec 2nd: Phil awoke in the morning to fresh snow. He immediately called Monkey to go sledding."

Advent: Day 1

So my sister has started sending me daily prompts about what Phil the penguin is doing for advent, and I am to draw them. Hooray for sisterly Christmas fun!

"Dec 1st:
On the first day of advent, Phil decided to start the preparations with cookies, Jesus likes cookies right? Unfortunately, its hard to crack an egg when all you have is flippers...."

Another Kung Fu Panda study

This time I was trying to simplify and work with values.
