I got some drawing done today. It felt good to pick up my pen again.

I started from a photo of a guy walking down a street and had some fun with it.

Inspired by some folks I highly admire, see Steam Bot Studios, I present the following.

Prompt: A glowing dome of information surrounds a person as she mixes and mashes together the glowing and encompassing atmosphere of light.

This was supposed to be a speed painting, but much procrastination made it otherwise. ^_^

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding what the difference is between an orc and a goblin.

In any case, I did this image as an exercise to give a body to the little circle guys I draw (see the lotro comic post). The other style doesn’t lend itself to having clothing on the characters (besides head accessories). I also have some difficulty with certain poses, the whole thing of them not having a body really limits their physical emoting.

This guy is from a larger sketch I’m working on. I did a quick color test to see how I liked the look, so far I’m happy with it. I expect though that there will be lots more experimentation!

What happens when our captain thinks someone gives him a dirty look? Hilarity.

A quick sketch of a figure using the same speed painting techniques I’ve been trying out. The proportions feel off on the figure, one of my weaknesses, but I like the feel.
