Mischievoux - Art Trade

Art trade with Mischievoux of their sona, I took this as a way of forcing myself to finish a piece, witch's clothes because I needed some clothing and it was the time for it. I had a lot of trouble painting this, but I got some feedback from other artists to help.

Colored Otter

This was for someone that convinced me to try taking commission work again, with that intent I decided to try making the best quality I can manage and figure out what I can offer. The colors are pretty bad and the shading is soft and badly placed, as such I can't offer colors.

Bride

This was a quick sketch at the end of a stream just to wind down after studying for hours. Just a very quick and dirty sketch of a bride based on a photo.

Breaking up the series of landscapes with some character sketch, just some insect things inspired by something I found on pinterest.

Corn

Well there was a joke and I ended up making a painting study on corn, since it was simpler I tried painting it with colors as well, I'm happy with being able to notice some light and shadows that I didn't before, but still a long way to go.

Photostudy4

Fourth in the series of photo studies, I tried using a more complex reference this time, but I had difficulties with it and this one took a lot longer than the others.

Photostudy3

Third image of the set, this was the first using a reference without posterizing it, a lot harder to see the values. Vegetation is giving me some trouble

Lizard Values

Practice with values with this reptile or lizard thing, still not confident with my forms and definitely not happy with how long it takes me to get even some simple values down.

Crop out of the sudden transformation sketch I put together during anatomy studies, was the most refined image I made during the stream and I'm quite happy with the result overall.

Reaper sketch

Quick and messy sketch of a grim reaper of sorts, I like the cloak and the scythe.

Rocks

Just some rocks for value and rendering practice when I was out of ideas, I like drawing rocks, they have some interesting textures, shapes and patterns that you can see.

Fluffy Croc

Stream picture made for Docodile of their fluffly dragon croc hybrid, turned out okay and didn't take terribly long to make.

name needed - moth spider hybrid

Second attempt at desiging a character, this one turned out more interesting as a cute-ish hibrid between a luna moth and a goliath spider, fairly happy with the colors. Still am going to need a name for this character, open to suggestions. Posted using PostyBirb

Failed character design

I tried designing a character, while the image itself isn't bad, the design ended up very generic and not recognizable, basically everyone guessed the species wrong. Poor character with identity crisis. Posted using PostyBirb

TF001

I watched this presentation about depicting transformation in art, it was pretty interesting and I decided to try with this weird sketch. Posted using PostyBirb
