It’s been a while since I’ve last posted anything. I’ve been pretty much just attempting to fill up a sketchbook and workin’ on a 2D animation. And it’s safe to say that I’ve failed the 30 Improvement Hell Challenge like twice now. xD Dare I try again? I dunno. .... ;}

Improvement Hell Challenge hereth. Day 8: “Find 2-3 objects, make a scene with them. Draw it. Bonus points for creativity. Double points for dramatic lighting.” Haha. This was pretty fun. I was tempted to do a digital painting, but I wanna get much needed practice with using only pen and watercolors.

Improvement Hell Challenge hereth. I skipped day 6 because I wanted to use the character generator for this challenge. Push comes to shove, I’ll use another generator or use one of my own characters.  Day 7: “Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights.”  This here is an evil furby, held in place by a farkle “talisman” card-we were “drankin” that night. xD It’s been on the top the fridge for several years and collected all the yummy dust. I wanted to start off with a pen exercise, because I’m addicted to pen right now. Afterwards, I sketched it out again, digitally, and digitally painted it.

Improvement Challenge Hell Link Day 4: “Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with at least 5 being skeletal/musculature studies.” Dear Moon. By hands 12-20, I started going crazy. Twas worth it, tho.

Didn’t include the whole figure. I need to remember to scale things out using landmark lines. D: I might digitally paint this later on. :}

http://artist-advice.tumblr.com/post/106646723860/30-days-of-art-improvement-challenge  Day 1: “Self-Portrait-introduce yourself.” Sup? :D I’m Jibi Emu aka G.B.M. aka Britt Math III aka boss-nigguh-thug. I’m a concept artist, currently studying life and stuff to apply for a couple of animation schools. My main bae thangs include ((but aren’t limited to)): graphic novels, 2D animation, everything Indigenous, laughing, eating, and thinking. My vulgarity is “on fleek” and I tend to be a bit flippant. xD This is my 2nd attempt at the 30 Day Improvement Hell Challenge. And yes.. when I draw I tend to sit on my left hand for reasons I don’t understand, yet.

I was tagged on Facebook to do a five day challenge, on both of my accounts by two different artists. lol So that ended up becoming the 10 day challenge. During the 5 day challenge, artist are encourage to post three pieces of art every day, for 5 days. I wanted to do this while I was doing the 30 Day Improvement Hell challenge. But alas.. life says "nope" whenever it needs to. That endometriosis struggle is real. xD  But enty who, this is one of the pieces I did for the challenge. These are two characters from my story "Get Out of Element". Nneka is her name and her companion's name is Khorus. More will be posted later on. I really cannot wait to get back to the 30 Day Improvement Hell challenge. I miss it. lmao.

Title: "Khoisan People" December 2014 "Recovering from Imperialism" project "They are said to be the oldest genetic branch of human ancestry. They are located in Southern Africa and are said to be the ancestors of the Grimaldi people; the first people of Europe. I decided to depict myself and my grandmother. Given that she is still alive to this day to watch over 4 generations, she is the epitome of what it means to come from antiquity. <3"

Title: "Discussing Jomon Culture"  December 2014 "Recovering from Imperialism" project "As previously stated, I love playing with the idea of removing divides and depicting indigenous people discussing culture. This is an Ainu man and an Atayal woman talking about Jomon pottery, somewhere between Russia and Taiwan."
