Eliza process

of course, I forgot to take a photo of the linework. OH WELL. Eliza is a character of Bittermause who does this great webcomic: The Shufflers.

decomposition

Did two colour versions of this picture - I couldn't decide which colour scheme would be better so just did both :P This is some bumbling around a comic project which I am half-working on ;)

Happy New Year!

I hope you all got to party wild like rice ;)

triangular tree

This is the number 350 out of 365. The end is nigh! I m very happy about this actually. It feels like I will get my freedom back! The last 20 trees as well as being bigger take more time to draw. But it's ok as this will be over soon!

What next, is the question. There have been suggestions of bunnies, mythical creatures and some other ones. I am not too sure yet myself. This has been a good, generic brief and the main purpose was to force myself to draw lots post graduation. It worked great, I have also revisited some techniques, eperimented a litttle, turned some of the trees into products. I am just a bit worried it might start feeling empty after this. So I think I might start a new similar project after this one, maybe a few weeks or months after this one is complete. What will it be? No idea. One thing is for sure - the highest frequency will be WEEKLY. Daily is just a bit too much. Perhaps several montly challenges? That could be fun too and it wouldn't get too repetitive, as sometimes I have struggled with inspiration/ideas.

So just hang on with me for a few more days (18th of March will be the final day, if I am not wrong - and I may well be as I am rubbish with dates), and get that celebratory bottle of wine ready for when the time comes ;)

Bisonmania

Recentely something new appeared in my life. Bisons. I mean, they were always in my heart but few weeks ago Riennahera has shown me this link: BISONS LIVE FEED. I am not normally into this sort of live feed stuff, but this - this was different. It contains mighty big beasts of animals! And then I had this idea: Why not do some lifedrawing out of that? So here are some results. It was mainly bisons but there was a cheeky brave boar too.

 It was: pens, inks, watercolours, some also digitally pampered up. Yo.

with a backpack

This is what I'd really like to do now. Pack my bag, wear comfy boots and warm coat and go for a hideously long walk. And have all my food packed in little cntainers and a flask with hot tea. Sometimes this is all I want. It does not happen very often though.

ROVs

Remotely Operated (underwater) Vehicle

After questioning Pete what you'd do to investigate deep sunken things - apparentely this is the way!

Pics from Wiki. I unfortunately haven't got one at home to do lifedrawings of.

(Although now that I think of it, I think I do have some photos of similar things from Stockholm's FANTASTIC diving museum :) )
