Lol

I haven't forgotten about this, I promise! I'm just super busy right now!

Just a little bit of an update

My thanks to everyone who's decided to follow me so far. Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, I've been REALLY busy getting for the Comic Con happening in Waco, Tx in a little over a month.

My cousin and I are both sharing an artist booth so we have been working our asses off to get as much done as we can.

its not PMDU related, but I'll at least show a WIP of what I am working on right now:

If you really like my stuff, you should also follow me on my main tumblr page http://ideallyrandom.tumblr.com/

EDIT: I fixed the colors a bit.

The first part of the highlighting is underway. I've taken a break from shading for the moment as well.

[oberonandfriendspmdu]

Its been a little bit since I uploaded anything so I'll just update how the shading is coming along. I've been playing around with the lighting, so it doesn't exactly match the front or back refs, but I'm fine with that since those are mainly lit in a way I think will help me get the right depth when modeling them.

I wanted to get my flats done on the "expressive" shot before I called it a night.

The finished ref sheet itself will be a lot longer, I just cut out a bunch of excess for the sake of posting.

I'll need to figure out the best way to arrange everything so that it looks good, but once I've finished shading and lighting the pose, and done a background for it (and that will likely be what I use for the team app), I'll add in his range of expressions based on some early sketches.

Not far from being done with this one and then on to Oberon's ref sheet.

trying to come up with an image that shows some personality to along with the reference shots that are fairly lifeless.

Once it's done, I'll add something behind it to help "paint" the scene.

[oberonandfriendspmdu]

I'll go ahead and update this since I've finished shading the back view.

Next I'll add a dynamic pose to show a bit of personality and then some facial expressions and details for consistent depictions.

Ref sheet I'm working on for Puck for PMDU.

I'm trying to practice painting and combining what I'm learning with how I approach design.

I'm looking at the styles used by ChillySunDance and Haychel on deviantART. Those two have fantastic techniques that I admire and wish to incorporate into my own style.

Once this is done, I'll likely model it in blender later.

Egeus, a Zoroark. An NPC created as a supporting character to Oberon and Puck's stories.

Oberon, the Sylveon. Effectively the leader of Midsummer Knights.

Puck, the Sneasel. He's watched over by Oberon. They share an sort of father-son relationship.
