More Mermaids ohoi!

Meh. Restarted the Re-Imagined Fairytale image. That shows the whole original idea behind it all with a diver as the dwarf, and the captain turned into a beast.

Fairytale update

So I had a bit of time today. Not much done, but I might keep this and work further on it.

So, I've decided to join CGHUB & Imagine FX Bobby Chiu's Fairytales Re-Imagined 2D & 3D Art Challenge ...

Here's what I've posted so far...  Hoping to do more this weekend.

"After doing some sketches and such last evening after thinking for a couple of days, doing a lot of "clever" ideas transforming fairy tales, the only thing that really had any potential this morning was Snow White and Rose Red under water, so that's what I'm doing.

So, a quickie to get the idea down properly before going to bed... I'll see if I can't manage to do this in some way or another. "

"I was trying several times after this for a more dynamic pose, then I went for the symbolic ones... But so far I've ditched them all. This is what I'm currently doing... Don't have that much time to draw these days, so I better nail something soon....

This evenings work so far. Never mind the all brown approach... Colours and I don't go that well together, so I'm working in brown first to see where I can push before encountering my nemesis...."

"Durr. Had to try colours before bed. I'll look at it again tomorrow and see what I do..."

Grabbing the opportunity

Kid is gone on her first vacation without mum and dad, off to her aunt, uncle and two cousins, so mum's grabbing the chance to draw a bit. Did this one today, while trying to get to grips with the house being one toddler short. Took quite a different approach to this than usual, and it kinda shows.....

Saturday Showdown

So. Way too much things going lately that's NOT art. But Tristan Elwell posted a link today. To THIS - How to steal like an artist and 9 other things nobody told me. And I read the sentence that said "Write what you want to read". So I drew what I wanted to have on my walls for the last hours. And the thing that really has my passion when it comes to drawing, is these symmetric mask/head/headgear thingies that I've been doing for years and can't put down. So I did those. And here's a few of the sketches I did today.

Therapy

So, it's been a really stressful couple of weeks. When it comes to everything. Including work, family, health and economy. Heh. So, more than grinding on specific things to get better, I needed some drawing therapy. And this is one of the doodles that came out the last four hours. Between a couple of glasses of red wine. That I really needed. For whatever it's worth, I thought I might as well post this one.

Random updates

So, about time to put something here again.

Here's as far as I came with the DW... I still want to make it a proper image, but at the moment it's far from completion, of course.

A thingy I started on based on myself, also pretty much a rough, I haven't quite decided where to go with it if anywhere.

And a couple of those heads I do all the time, quick ones.

And a really, really fast sketch of Cheetara from Thundercats, the redesign of them is the current CharacterFORGE in CGHUB.
