Here's another quick Celine portrait. Playing with a slightly different style here, which I think I really like.

I'm not sure how I feel about the boarder color, really. I tried to make it so it would match deviantART's background color, but deviantART has a tendency to alter colors slightly when you upload, so that didn't really work out. :/

This one was sort of a speed painting. 45 minutes using photo reference. It definitely worked out a lot better than my last landscape did. I don't have much practice painting clouds, and these ones are pretty simple since they're backlit, but they were a lot of fun to do.

I also decided to use the landscape (waterscape?) as a background for a redheaded selkie with a blind eye. I'm not entirely happy with how her face turned out, though, so I'll probably fix it and reupload pretty soon.

So I've been obsessing over 30 Seconds To Mars lately, especially since their newest album is coming out. And of course that gives me a good reason to do that black and white celeb portrait that I've been putting off. It was actually kind of therapeutic in a way, since there really wasn't much actual thought involved, so I think I might do these a little more often. Here's a quick painting of Jared Leto.

Overall, this was a lot of fun to paint. :)

I'm trying to start practicing with landscapes. This one's just a super quick little fart that I might work on detailing a bit when I get bored.

The next three images are unfinished stuff.

A second attempt at a portrait of Princess Anhura from Razia's Shadow: A Musical. I'm kinda trying to teach myself how to paint folds, so bear with me here. Also, I know I paid shit attention to proportions when I was doing the sketch, so just pretend she's not a giant. XD

This one's kinda old, and I really liked the idea and I liked the sketch a lot, but I kinda got stuck with this one, so I doubt it'll ever really be finished.

This is one I actually forgot I had started, so hopefully I'll get around to finishing it soon enough.

I'm calling this one a work in progress simply cause there are things about it that keep bothering me. I don't want to give up on it, though, so I'll probably just end up reworking it to death. This is an earlier portrait of Celine from my last post.

Also I'm going to stop trying to title my blog posts because fuck that.

A Few Things

It's actually been so long since I've posted that I almost forgot how to do it. XD

Anyway, here's a few things that I've done fairly recently.

A requested portrait of a fairly new character of mine for a banner that I literally just farted out through my pen today in a couple of hours.

 And another portrait that's sort of a tribute to Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Neptune) because I fucking love her hair. And also because it gave me an excuse to paint glowy baby jellyfish. <3

I also have a WIP or two, but I'm too lazy at the moment to convert them to JPEGs for you. :p
