Not Drawing Enough

Student, visual and martial artist, cat lover, gamer, and anime devourer.

Re downloaded Shadowrun: Dragonfall recently and I wanted to do a custom portrait for my character. This is my Elf Adept Bishamon. 

I’ll probably do another one of these if I get around to playing Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Hopefully I’ll remember to work smaller next time, cause the dimensions for portraits are tiny so my original got a bit fuzzy.

After doing nothing but sketches for a long time I finally brought a piece to a finish. This is Raga and Gremory. (Gremory on the left, Raga on the right)

I think I’m just going to do character illustrations like this for awhile, and leave my comic ambitions on the back-burner for now.

When you finally want to draw but can’t find all those references you saved back when you didn’t want to draw.

A quick and dirty drawing of my PUBG character.

She’s been through a lot.

me checking out my new cyborg arms: is this the human condition? to replace nature with our own artificial creations? will humanity never be satisfied until we surpass god himself?

me: *punches through a wall* sick

This piece is probably the oldest one I included in my portfolio, but its still one of my favorites.

[hughmlong]

I realized I haven’t updated in awhile...again.

That was mostly because I was working my ass off finishing my portfolio, which I did! So I’ll upload a few choice pieces every few days.

The Koi fish above was finished on my twitch stream awhile back (you can watch a video of the time-lapse here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/154181901 )

Some more Witcher in the Shell. Finished this on my stream today, I’ll be uploading more artwork every few days as I finish them on stream.

I’ve been working on my portfolio for graduate school for the last few weeks, here are two from a series I’m working on that re-imagines my favorite anime characters into some of my favorite video game worlds.

Here is Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell re-imagined as a Witcher

[hughmlong]

Finished a drawing while sitting at MICE, the school asked me to do a drawing of any kind. Mightve done more than I should’ve :P

[hughmlong]

Wow, two posts in a row, that’s crazy!

I really don’t like doing line-art digitally, I can trust my actual hands when I draw physically. I’ll always color digitally though, color is expensive no matter what the medium.

[hughmlong]

I suck at posting things, and promising to post things. Here is a character bust.

Lets all hope I follow through.

Pretty obviously Ghost in the Shell inspired, with a little bit of Deus Ex thrown into the background.
