Watercolour sketch from Friday evening. My mother has come home for the holidays and set up her own workspace in the living room, which made me realise the light there is infinitely better than the one in my room. So I joined her and painted this:

This is a small watercolour piece I made in mid-November, as a present for my friend remmak's birthday. :) She loves green and greenery, which is something I learned to appreciate very much while painting this: green is so restful to work with! It's like eye-food, or something. *laughs*

I finished the illo job yesterday! At the slight cost of some sanity and partial vision loss from overworking (and looking at too many pictures of mummies). :p

I don't know how I managed to rush it to the last minute again. I had started early and had made good headway, but then during these last two weeks all sorts of things were cropping up or I ( Read more... )

About time, I guess - we had a long, warm autumn (or rather a very long summer), and it was getting a bit ridiculous. Though with the heating oil prices being what they are, after tax rises and what not, I hope it won't be too cold. A lot of people are having trouble making ends meet.

I merge dreams and reality a bit lately. I suppose that's because I'm thinking/dreaming at night of things that concern me. For example, a few days ago on the way back home I was passing in front of the municipal gym where I would occasionally - and up until relatively recently - meet my old English teacher. She is very old, and I wondered if she's ( Read more... )

Of late I have been struggling with an art block, among other things. I have little motivation to sit in front of the PC and paint. I do try to force myself into doing so, but that kind of defeats the object. Pencil drawing holds little appeal, too (I used to do most of it during transit, but now I tend to read instead).

Last Friday, however, I got ( Read more... )

I've been slacking it since the second half of July. I kinda blame it on the heat, but the truth is I just haven't been motivated enough to draw much lately. I kept doing a few sketches on the metro up to a point, but I was dissatisfied with them; hardly worth the hassle of scanning them. Then I picked up some unread books that were gathering ( Read more... )

I had made the implicit promise to myself that I wouldn't spend TOO much time on the ME fan art pieces, so I sent them in today. I followed remmak's suggestion about the turian's neck being too thick, but I couldn't motivate myself enough to add in some more details. Instead, I touched up a few things in Spaceborn that had been bugging me. (I'm still NOT ( Read more... )

Bioware is accepting submissions for a fan art showcase at SDCC (deadline is July 15th), and I thought to freshen up a bit my two Mass Effect images and submit them.

Here's the latest version of the turian sketch from last September:
