Mirandy & Batstain

I've been working on character designs rather than colored doodles at work lately, so this is all I have that I'm ready to show yet. Sebastian is Bryanna's character, by the way... her prissy half-orc butler and my cute happy necromancer, because we apparently really like strange archetypes. :)

Robots from middle school

More work doodles. I was curious if I could interpret her armor design to something that might work a little more realistically. I'm not sure if I like it, but it was fun to draw.

Blood Magic

More stuff I drew on my lunch break!



One day I will draw Andy doing something she, you know, actually does sometimes.

progress and lost lighting

This might have been slightly ambitious given the amount of available time I have right now. Anyway, I've finally got Zach's face to a level where I don't cringe to look at him, I've put in the base of a sword and some placeholder lightning. I had some blue light on them from the placeholder lightning, but accidentally closed the file without saving it, so that will have to be redone. I've also adjusted the seams on Andy's robe in the sketch so that it actually makes sense... might seem like a small tweak, but it was driving me insane.

I think their hair will stay as-is until I get the clothes to a more complete level, since I'll probably end up with some flyaway strands on the clothing and I think it will be more efficient just to do that once.


Here's what it looked like with the blue lighting I lost. The previous picture is more recent and has some tweaks to Zach's face to make him look a little better.

Finished

Finished this at work today. :D

The paper got all waffley from being colored, so my scanner destroyed it pretty well. I did my best to fix it up in Photoshop. Pretty happy with how this turned out, but I really badly want to go get more col-erase pencils now, considering what's shown here is basically every color I have left.

Work Doodles

Obviously Mucha-inspired WIP Andy. Complicated by the loss of most of my col-erase pencils, resulting in a VERY limited palette that does not, unfortunately, include her hair color.

Andy & Zachary WIP

I've posted some art of Andy/Miranda before, but it's all been little sketches. Well, recently I liked one of them enough to clean up.

The anatomy is entirely horrible here, but I liked the pose, so I scanned it in.


Here's the reference I'm working off of, by the way. Neverwinter Nights, quite old game, but still very good.


After a lot of sketching and redoing and moving things around, here's what I've got so far! The image got flipped since Zach's right handed and Andy's left hand is important, I'm not sure what I was thinking doing it the other way to begin with. The lines are more of a guide, I plan to remove them in the end. Oh, and I had no reference of Zach's sword, so I put off drawing it. I have some reference now, so that will probably be in the next version.


This is a better idea of what it'll look like in the end. :D She looks like a Disney character to me, but I'm cool with that.

Grab Bag

So, I now have a job working at BrandX Games, but since I can't post anything I'm working on, I am going to post a whole lot of unrelated doodles instead.

This is the loading animation on my website. I need to throw her on a nonwhite background.


Here's Zeb, who is a Megaman X fancharacter from middle school. Mind you, in middle school she looked like:

But no matter. :D

These three are of Miranda Rose, another D&D character who I haven't quite had time to do a painting of yet. I did unearth some really fun sketches, but the anatomy is so bad in them that I won't post it here until I've got a better version.

Here is something I haven't posted much of... a landscape!

This is something I'd like to paint as well. It's an elven temple, even though it looks like a tree. And on that topic, two pictures of a character from this area... drawn on the back of a D&D character sheet, because I am classy and also cannot be presented with paper without drawing all over it.


I think the second one is stronger. This character is always sticking a hip out, I'm not sure what's up with that.

Also from the back of the character sheet, but from a different game, Rhysaar. She's an aquatic elf of some kind.

Finally, here is a super pro drawing from the back of another D&D character sheet. It's our entire 4ed D&D party, inspired by the 4ed artwork. Princess in the middle is a (male, even) elven bard, the two on the end are lovely gnoll and dwarf fangirls of his, who apparently have similar taste in enormous, swirly bras. Emo tiefling and generic male paladin lead the party!!

This is on our fridge as though I am a four year old who made a picture for his mommy.

Aaaand hopefully one day, I will have something to post here that makes me look less crazy. :D

Sad robots

Approved final robot design!


The picture on his chest will change throughout the animation, probably to exclamation points and hearts and little pictures of pizza and things.

Robots

Here are some of my silhouette thumbnails for the Flying Saucer ad.



This is a rough idea of what the final one might look like, based on feedback from Flying Saucer. We liked the clampy hands and noodle arms, but wanted a kind of traditional robot monster rather than something like the slug or giant rabbit.


The ad will be mostly very sharp black and white, with bright colours and gradients, but all very simple, graphic shapes, think Patapon or Michel Gagne.

I'm working with Bryanna Lindsey on this project, but as she's still in school, it's been put on hold so she can concentrate on her classes. More images as soon as I have them.
