Day 99: Pokeddexy Day 4 Ampharos

Day 99:

Wellp. Looks like I'm late with my submission once again. This whole 9-6 thing really makes time management hard. Oh well, I'm enjoying my job so I really can't complain.

Pokeddexy Challenge Day 4: Favorite Electric Pokemon.

I chose Ampharos. Ampharos really was one of those pokemon that was love at first sight for me. I don't know why, but I find this dude so charming, even if I really have no idea what the heck he's supposed to be. I always sort of assumed he was some sort of jeweled dinosaur.

The first time I played Gold I also had the little story in my head that it was the dream of my Ampharos to become one of the night's stars. I always he imagined he lived a very sad existence, always smiling so no one would know. I really don't know why I thought I had a depressed Ampharos when I was 10, I just did okay?

Anyways, that was the inspiration for today's entry.

Day 98: Pokeddexy Day 3 Hydreigon

Day 98: 

Okay, now lets pretend I posted THIS one yesterday! 

Day 3 of the Pokeddexy challenge: Favorite Dragon Pokemon. 

I chose Hydreigon. I loved this dude from the second I saw him. The only thing that kinda bothers me about him is his weird nerve-ending feet. Oh well. I drew him casting draco meteor because why not. c: 

Also, sorry I keep doing these in this sort of scratch-boardy style. I just missed doing this kinda work and I haven't in a while. (Also, I only have a few hours a day to myself after work, so I usually just go with the first idea I have for the final look.) I promise I'll vary it up from time to time.

Day 97: Pokeddexy Day 2 Honchkrow

Day 97:

Ugh, I fell asleep after getting home from work the other night so I didn't get time to finish this. I wish I could have restarted it, but I don't want to get behind and I still need to draw my entry for day 3 of the pokemon challenge before the night's over. But yeah. Lets just pretend I submitted this on the 2nd.

Anyways:

Day 2 of the Pokeddexy challenge: Favorite Dark type.

My entry was Honchkrow.

Day 96: Pokeddexy 1 Heracross

Day 96:

I've decided to do the December Pokemon challenge thing that's going around tumblr for fun and to get out of the drawing rut I've been in for the last week. Also, my girlfriend gave me Pokemon Y for my Birthday and it's probably the best Pokemon game I've played in a long time.

Anyways, my first submission is a bit late but here we go:

Day 1- Favorite Bug type.

Mine is Heracross.

Day 95: A Forest Friend

Day 95:
This is going to be my banner at CTNX this year! Hope you guys like it!

Day 94: Subway sketches

Day 94:

Some people I've encountered on the subway over the past month or so.

Day 93: Bronx Zoo sketches

Day 93:

Some sketches from the Bronx Zoo!

Day 92: Perspective in portraits study

Day 92: 
I've been doing nothing but character design portfolio work for the past week or so, so I wanted to just to a quick portrait study for fun. 

Normally I wouldn't construct a drawing this way, but I'm not very confident with perspective, so I was hoping maybe doing this would make me maybe slightly better.

Day 91: Portrait study

Day 91:

I found some pretty interesting fine art brushes and decided to do a study with them. I think I like 'em!

Day 90: Knocked Out In The Deep

Day 90:
So, I got an e-mail suggesting that I might have gotten a table at CTNX the day before yesterday! Unfortunately, that meant I'd only have about a day to make my entry for the sketchbook! This is what I submitted minus a few hours of work and with some text. It's related to the story I'm developing for my portfolio!

Day 89: Giant Salamanders, Deep-sea sketches and Abe Sapien

Day 89:

Haven't posted any sketchbook pages in a while have I? Lets change that!

The first two pages were made because I wanted to better understand some things I'm gonna need to draw in an upcoming project. The last just exists because Abe Sapien is ridiculously fun to draw.

Day 88: Armor Study

Day 88:
I worked way too long on this study going back and forth with it. Working on and off on it. I’ve gotten way too backed up with my work schedule because I’ve been procrastinating on working on this thing. Anyways, I’m sick of working on it. I think I’ve learned just about everything I can from it anyways. Next time I do an armor study like this I’m going to have to make sure to use better reference…

Day 87: Don't Stop Me Now

Day 87:

"..I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies. Like a Tiger defying the laws of gravity..."

I've been listening to  "Don't Stop Me Now" for like eight hours today... I don't know why or how it happened, but I'm not complaining...

Day 86: Pen and Ink Dorbermans and Jackals

Day 86:

I got a really great new nib for my croquill, so I decided to do some quick pen and ink studies for fun. I haven't worked with pen and ink in forever, so it was really enjoyable to go back to it! It makes me wonder why I don't work at it more...

Day 85: Pachisefeloostrich

Day 85:

In a bit of a rut now that I’ve graduated art school. Here’s an attempt to try and work through it.

... I'm a bit rusty...
