Deer Revised

Okay, I changed a lot based on what people said they thought would look better, and looking at better real pictures of deer (there's almost always weeds/grass in the way). Basically, longer legs, less prominent back end, more connected shoulders, and a lower elbow on the front legs.

I'm still not sure if I like this better. I liked the angles, but this is truer to reality and she's gonna do ALOT of leaping, so this might fit that action better.

Opinions?

And yes I should have real lights in there, but I'm lazy.

My tablet is having issues so I'm working in the physical world now. I have to say that I like not staring into a screen when I work. I'm trying to find a way to illustrate comics that is not so focused on inking. I think that my style of working doesn't translate well to ink (or at least very consistently -- I end to make a lot of mistakes and it rarely turns out as well as my under drawing). So here's a drawing using a colored pencil with some inking. I like how portable it is -- unlike watercolors.







Sorry about the lack of cropping. I'm having issues with technology today. This is a character from one f the stories in my head

12th Night - Antonio and Fabian


The final two!
WHOOHOO I'M FINISHED!!


You can check out the rest of the (newly completed) series here!

I'm not dead! just sick.


Hola, Since last post, I moved back to Minneapolis, got a horrible cold with a fever, and watched ALL of Black Butler. The last one, is sort of not forgivable, but the rest I think is worthy reasons for lack of posting. I started working on my joints, but I can't really show you that, so I have this shitty consolation image of the book I've barely been working on.




There is stuff INSIDE the book as well, which is mostly what I've done the last few days, but it's sort of a surprise for someone, and well, that would ruin it if they saw. Oh, and that blankety thing is the pleather I managed to pick up super cheap yesterday, while I had a fever, for the cover.

Now, does anyone know where in town (Minneapolis) they sell metal book corner protectors?
JoAnne and Michaels have failed me once again.
