Some Mindlessness

Hey folks!

Got 2/3 commissions finished for the wonderfully sweet Marie at the time of this posting. The third one should be done later today, but I figured I’d show you all what I have so far. They’re all profile shot commissions, done during the sale when they were up for only $8, and they have all taken me WAY too long to do, due to me getting the swine flu and acute bronchitis during the course of the orders.

First one was the easiest to do. Her outfit was pretty simple in comparison to the others, which were reaaaally difficult to stylize.

This one was a pain in the arse, but I like how it turned out for the most part. The armor gave me hell – it certainly was a learning process! =)

Lastly, a free sketch for Marie, done because she was so wonderfully patient with me throughout her commission. It ended up taking me two entire months to finish – everything on earth seemed to be going wrong. First I lost my pen, then I got loaded with assignments at work, then I got the swine flu, which later developed into acute bronchitis (from which I am still recovering). I was thoroughly embarrassed by how long it was taking me to finish her commission, but she was an enormous sweetheart throughout the entire thing, and infinitely patient. If you’re reading this, thanks for being such a wonderful customer, Marie!

Well, due to some craziness in Real Life, I haven’t been able to do much art lately, so I put together a post of random unfinished things I’ve been periodically working on. Some of these I may eventually finish, a lot of them will just rot in Art Hell.

Crappy cartoon character concept sketch:

A portrait of Eomnan with – gasp! – is that blood?

Semi-complete outline of the landmasses on Orlo. It’s not a full globe, but I’ll be doing one of those soon enough.

Some concept art of the main protagonist of the high-fantasy story I occasionally work on. It’s actually a lady!… a very stringy and scrappy lady.

Sketch of a completely random gal. I realize her eyes are off-kilter, and if I ever finish this, I’ll fix it.

And another one for y’all today – an in-progress shot of the digital painting I’ve been working on. It’s of Marcus, looking rather surly, which he is quite good at.

Hi everyone!

Last round of commissions is going on right now. I’m at present working on several profile shots for Marie, and here are the preview sketches for the first two characters.

Hope you enjoy! I’ll be back to doing original art once I’m done with these, taking a break before I start commissions again.
