Suffice it to say that I've been sick for the last three/four years (I've lost track of how long it actually was). It's been worse for the last yearish or so. However, mostly better now. So, have a nice doodle. I promise nothing. We'll see what happens.
Well, not really, since I never actually died, but I think you get the idea.
ALSO.
I bring gifts of ART.
River Dormus and a Village
White Quartz Mountains (pre- and post- shattering).
Spent loads of time on the bottom two, not quite as much but still a fair bit on the top. All three of them are for B:NG. I don't really feel like typing out my whole "this is what I did blah blah blah," so I will leave you with that.
Now I just need to catch up with the rest of my backlogged a
Well, remember that whole thing with that scribble picture being easy to do, not time consuming, and decent looking?
I discovered almost directly after that completely by accident how to create zomg-amazing looking pictures in a fairly non-time consuming manner, as evidenced by these partially painted mountains. They don't have color yet, but that's because in this style I add color later.
But now I have a dilemma. I already started painting Alarist using my old painting style (color first
Discovered easy and non-time consuming method of art for concepts. Expect to see more of these.
[insert obligatory complaint about the colors looking funny on this other monitor here]
Can be so addicting. Also inspiring.
I won't link to it, since it's a bit of a bloody comic, and it has forums. This particular villains name is Jack Noir though, I suppose you might be able to get there if you really wanted.
Not remotely Bionicle related but i thought you might like to know that I have been doing stuff. Just not Bionicle stuff. This particular piece took me 45 hours. To be honest, it makes me cringe to think how much time I'm going to need to spend on bonesiii's multiverse stuff, since they are much larger. OH WELL. I guess I shall persevere. It's not like anyone reads this blog except EW occasionally and Thylon and neelh.
And #digital-artists declined it. I hate that they accepted me as
Busy, very busy. In the meantime, have some pictures of Manu.

Her paint got chipped in moving so I need to redo her gold - thank goodness I finally got the right kind of paint (the original gold was a different paint than the blue and turned out poorly).
Also take a look at this lovely version of my Ice Bat in MoC Form mad
Apologies for being so dramatic earlier! I try not to do that. : /
So: Have an Ice Bat.
Do you B:NG guys want this? Not sure if we actually are needing them or not, and I know I'm not on the Rahi concept team.
Anyways, this was for the Brotherhood of Makuta club on DA, they were having a Rahi contest. I sketched it up a month or so ago, and promptly abandoned it to the dreaded WIP folder. But I had my last class today, and they just recently reminded us that the contest ends... to
For Neelh, cus she said she thought I should draw him. P:
I don't have his set, so.... I resorted to pictures again. Pohatu turned out okay (the other B:NG members told me the first version was too skinny and girly, so he is all manly and buff now) but the Rockoh not so much.
No virtual pencils were harmed in the making of this sketch, but the blenders may not have survived.
Hooray! Done with all of them! Now it's back to work on the Coliseum...
Speaking of:
*eye twitches*
Teach me to volunteer to draw anything that complicated, in inks no less. Anyways, this bit's mostly done now, which means I can move on to the rest of the picture, and that won't take nearly as long.
Finished the big paper, so I've got some time to myself now (two left, but I've already started them, so eh). Thought I'd start planning out my Alarist and Clash pics for the Multiverse guide, since I'll probably start working on them after I finish the coliseum.
So I was working on this paper that's due pretty soon, and getting horribly, horribly frustrated. And then I thought to myself "All I've been doing for the past week is working on this stupid paper, I haven't been able to paint or anything. I should take a break and paint something."
The result is above. New forum banner for me. Two hours, oils in Corel.
Alright, so I finished sketching out the background finally - this is by no means the final product, but I've spent enough time on it already that I wanted to show my progress. I'm not really sure I like it, it looks very pointy, but I was trying to make it look more like the playsets than the movies... :x The blue is the original sketch, and the red is the details I added later. You can see that clip of Taka and Lesovikk down at the bottom. It's very messy, I need to go over everything and
I does, I does. This is actually one of the worst ones I've ever had. I've also got a bit of a fever. At first I thought this was from when I pulled out my "male" voice to toy with possibly auditioning for some random matoran or something. I'd forgotten how much it makes my throat hurt (and I gave myself a bloody nose recording with it too) so I ditched that idea. But that was a couple of weeks ago, and it certainly didn't hurt to breathe after that, it was just mildly uncomfortable to talk
Someone in the Next Generation Art Topic said something about putting wings on Takanuva after he gets the flight virus from the Makuta in the Empire universe. It was rejected, of course, but it sounded so ridiculously awesome that I wanted to paint it. XD So that's where this came from.
It's been done a million times before, but I still like it. I will be painting this... eventually... when I get time... lol.
Tried a bit of crosshatching this time. It looks okay, if a bit sloppy. Done in Corel. May add some color to this to see how it would look. This didn't take very long after all, and it still looks alright. If I were to spend a little more time on it, I could clear the sloppiness up, and Neelh did want me to color it.
Went back and revisited my old Manu character. It was brought to my attention that I really didn't know anything at all about her, so I went and fixed that.
If I recall, I tried once before to evolve her into a Toa (I believe it was for the contest that produced Krakua) but I was never really happy with the way it turned out, so I pretty much abandoned it. Not sure I like the color scheme, I think a different shade of blue might be better, but I need to stop working on this. I'll probably rev
A quick sketch, done when I ought to have been working on other things (like homework, or one of the paintings I've been neglecting for the past couple of months).
I kind of like it though. It started out as just a doodle of a robotic humanoid, but then it turned into Kiina, and so I got her down from my shelf and tried to make her look like the set, but at the same time be more armored than set-like.
Ackar popped up somewhere in the middle of all that, but unfortunately I don't have his s
Concept Art for:
The Plains of Karzahni.
I wanted the sky to be full of doom, but it was refusing to cooperate, and it now looks like a sunset gone bad. :< Oh well. I ditched the rocks and matoran statue from the sketch, because they would have been too small to tell what they were. (I couldn't tell what they were in the sketch anyway.) I kind of like the way the clouds came out, and the ground isn't too bad either. I feel like the mountains should be less pointy though.

Yeah, I have no idea who this is. She's been popping up on my class notes in the margins a lot though. Most of the time she's wearing these fancy robes as well as that headdress, so I thought maybe she was a Great Being, but she looks an awful lot like a Glatorian... *shrug*
Anyways, this was a quick doodle done when I was attempting to get Deleter to work on my new computer, and it was telling me it wasn't compatible with Windows 7. Fortunately, 7 has a backwards compatible thing, which w
Concept Art for:
The Throne of Stone, from the Sculpture Fields in Po-Metru in the Toa Empire alternate universe. Phew, that's a mouthful.
Anyways, it's pretty much just your basic sketch with some added details, since I wasn't really planning on coloring this. A couple of people have asked me to though, so it might pop up eventually.
Spent about 7 hours, wasn't really keeping track so it might have been more. Done in Open Canvas.
