sketchblog of epic proportions

That mess in the right-hand corner is the first thing I drew while planning this out. I drew the big bold sketch on a new layer right on top of that messy faded sketch (which is actually much larger). I'm going to do one more cleaner sketch on top of this one once I mess with positions a little more, and then go ahead and ink *that*. Phew!

A break from coloring things. Shinigami!Nel doesn't really make sense, since she'd have to be Neliel, but hey, she's cute. ; )

ETA: All done! <3 Click through for big.


Clearly that's cutting into weekend time, when fewer folks are procrastinating at work by hanging around the internet. : )



I want to doodle for a while, but if I stop now I'll never finish their skin D:

...I completely forgot to show that layer before I flattened the image for posting here -_-

In unrelated news, I need to go back through my entries and add the espada project tag to a bunch of stuff. I'd love it if I could look at an entry preview on the editing tages page, but no dice. :[

Still very sketchy, and the poses are a little wonky, but I worked out the composition and poses myself without taking any pictures waving a lacrosse stick around or anything! This is a new thing for me.

Out of curiosity, if you had to pick an arrancar to match up with each of the other folks in this Espada Project for a fight, who would you choose? I have some thoughts, but I'm looking for other opinions. I'm not sure about some of them.

Anyone know of a way to mess with/create speed lines in Photoshop Elements? /lame



... let's just consider that a fugly background. And eventually the lines will be swords! I'm just... working out placement.

Still heavily in the sketch stage. I particularly like Ichigo's malformed left index finger.


what an odd place to cut it off :/ hello, squarebutt!shinigami!grimmjow.

( ETA: sketchier stuff & babbling behind the cut. )

Camera is full of me making fists. I think I finally figured out how that one should go!

ETA: Now with 100% more final composition and first pass @ lineart behind the cut.

( whole thing behind the cut )

Me + no scanner = massive fail in trying to show you realworld drawings. : (



Some of those are old, and some of them are ugly, but some of them I like. So you get to see them in their original context.

I have difficulty letting myself do big/ potentially messy sketches, even in a book specifically made for that purpose. Working on getting over myself ;)
+ a question: What kind of sketchbooks do you guys like? I'm about halfway through this one but am thinking of buying another one soonish since I doubt I'll be able to find one easily in Scotland this fall.

i-i have no idea what a cat skull looks like. however, this looks cute to me, and there is therefore a 95% chance that I'll be too lazy to go look it up.

clearly they needed to be sharing the heart speech bubble. or maybe the kitty should just be waving, and only ulquiorra needs one... what do you think?

The request? Ulquiorra, being shiny happy. I asked for a reason. Because he has a new hollow!kitty, of course!

...how could I resist? :3  n.b. that kitty is NOT grimmjow. Just a hollow kitten.

Please see this entry for the sole reference I'm working from here.  (EDIT: all done!)

 

Trying to decide if I should use this for speedpainting practice or just cel shade and be done with it. D:

I draw people in hideous poorly fitting bathing suits before I work out what their clothes need to look like.

( More info (and the hideous original version) behind the cut )
