I still have so much shit left to do, it kinda just feel's like I'm spining my wheels. But at least I'm close to getting to the digital part again. All this drawing on paper, is teaching me a lot but I want to COLOR SOMETHING DAMNIT! : Last, is the outfits. Then I'm coloring some stuff, because I'm fiending for it, like a crackhead. Ok I gotta go back to work.

Comin along comin along....

Still working out nauseous. 24 out of 25 aint bad tho XD I'm still having some SLIGHT inconsistency issues, but this is MUCH better than before. So I'm pleased.

Heyyyy! Lookatchu lookin manlyyyyy! More to come :)

A curly girly I made for my auntie.

She is a fighter so I tried to give her some muscles. Feminine muscles :) For a tall gal she's agile!

Ugggh Drawing boys is hard :\. Okay so, I've been drawiing these 3, Farren, Niyati and Kayli for some years and only a handful of people know their plot, so I'll share it with you imaginary reader. I have been working and reworking this story since I was like 16. I'm on my third (hopefully final) version now. I don't know if I'm satisfied with it either though. But some plot points remain the same. SO Farren and Kayli are from this village that's isolated and apart from the rest of the world as they know it. No one has ever come there (for as far back as anyone can remember) and no one ever leaves. People have tried but most never return or cant get past the wall that is the city's barrier. Anyway, Farren and Kayli (childhood bff's) get out, meet Niyati and try to ransom her back to her father for pickpocking them, trouble is: her father thinks she's useless and doesn't actually want her back so now they're all traveling companions for bet

Kayli consistency sheet.

That's much better. Thanks to Dia for the recommendation, it really did help.

I'm a little unhappy with some of the inconsistencies of how she looks. I'm not really that good at drawing expressions so it's a learning process. Hopefully I'll get better as I go.

No more BS. I'm going for a Concept art job. Gonna be a busy next few weeks.

This is a redesign of my character Roxy, I first invented her when I was.... ohh... maybe like 17. I didn't draw her that much, even then, because she was part of a sci-fi plot that never really got far. The last time I drew here was here . HA! I'd say I've improved a lot since then... but not by much since my men still look just as fruity nowadays. Anyway, I was kind of trying to get back into her plot. She is a genetically-altered mercenary of sorts, living about 1000 years from now. There's some mystery surrounding her past as she doesn't really know anything about herself. She has amnesia from waking up after 1000 years in a cryogenic chamber. That's all I got for now. I know they're tumbling with aliens too but I don't know why yet. You'll know when I know I suppose. LOL. I only got around to drawing her but she also has a little vulgar robotic-teddy bear named Mayo who follows her around and a really candid and no-nonsense BFF named Taz. Yeu

For Greg. Hope you like it! :)

A series hot off the press. I have an interview tomorrow at a TV station and I decided to make some new portfolio p[ieces that were more design driven than illustration, This is the result. Overall I'm pleased with how they turned out.

I've been kinda just working on this at my leisure. I like the way it turned out... mostly I'm just tired of lookin at it though. I feel like more could've been added but at the risk of overworking it I quit while I was ahead :)

...

I've been pretty busy lately. Between working 2 jobs and some freelance, finding time to really polish my work is scarce. I've all but let Savvytar go. I'm clinging to it for dear life, but my fans are probably pretty restless and peeved with me at this point, since I keep promising a new tutorial and not delivering. :( Such is life I guess... well... here's a few sketches that have somehow made it through the onslaught of constant grinding. I need to learn to manage my time better.

It's been YEARS since I drew this chick. Maybe I'll color it.... Maybe not. Not sure yet.

Oh yeah! All finished!!! I've been a busy little bee! Please don't feel guilty for looking. I'm pretty sure all these women are over the age of 18. Maybe .

From left to right, Princess Toadstool, Samus, and Princess Zelda... showing their skillllls.

Ugh! I have been working back to back to back to back between both of my jobs. I have been tryyyying to at least get a new post up on Savvytar... lord knows it is TIME! This shit is exhausting! Why, you ask, am I up at 2 Am then? Well... I was RENDERING! Poser is being a BITCH lately! I think i might need to re-install it since it keeps freezing on me. Anywho, I made some cuties. The one in the pink is Loni, I've had her for a while and the one in the strappy blue and green suit is Svetlana- Da, she is half Russian and ... hmm.. filipino. I just now decided. Loni, on the other hand, is... Bangladeshi. *googles* Yup, she sure is :)

It shouldn't have taken 6 days to complete this, but it did. Probably because the whole time I felt like I was basically polishing a turd. Ah well. Its done. Meh... I like it ok.

Tsuru means crane. Methinks it looks like fun to color. Now finding the time to do so may take a while. I have 2 jobs at the moment and I'm working like a slave just to get my own place. But i have the day off tomorrowwwwwwwwww!! ^_^ Maybe I can get a nice chunk of it done. We'll see.

I have an idea for an animation in my head that corresponds to this song . I want to animate it soooo bad but I don't know how... I swearI'm gonna learn, because its just too clear in my mind. Anyway this is Charlie, the main leading lady of of said animation.

What I wore this past week... I think I'll color these :)

Meh. I like the sketch, but the final image that I have in my mind, is a little hard to see through to finality. This might remain a sketch... maybe not. I haven't decided yet.

Well! It has certainly been a while. I've been a bit uninspired I guess, but I've begun toting my banged up sketchbook around like an extra arm... or an umbrella on rainy days. This hasn't yielded much polished work, I'm afraid, but here's a little something. I think the picture is pretty self explanatory but here's some narrative anyway. ;P Nina: Bitch, YOU called ME to hang out today and you're TEXTIING!? Kiaji: Hm? Nina: SERIOUSLY?!?

Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice.

The first Alice came out looking a bit too old. I liked the drawing at first but she looks like a teenager and a lot like the previous version of Alice I drew back in 2006. Also, something about her expression was bothering me. It looks incoherent. So I re-drew her, younger this time and was much happier with the result. I might go back to the knee-high chucks though, instead of those galoshes. Either way, I like the contrast between the frilly dress and the sneakers.

Hey guys! Its been a while. But to be fair, between moving back to the east coast from LA last month and looking for a new job, I've kinda had my hands full. So here's something new. I like pink :)

Look at me bein all productive n stuff! This is Opal, my first original character I ever made when I was just 14 years old, brought up to date. She sure has grown up! O_O

Sooo... I'm usually the first person to doubt the playability of MMORPG's. I played Guild Wars and pretty much level capped in that and ever since then it's just been a whole lotta boring mcsnoozle snorefest. I even played EVE online for a while, but that shit was worse than guild wars. WoW wasn't my style, so i basically gave up on MMO's, that is until today. I started playing an MMO today called Vindictus. It's effing sweet. This is my character BlaqueMagic. The outfits are to die for. TO DIE FOR! Its also brutal asswhooping gameplay and the graphics apply live action physics in game. Yeah... This shit is tight.

I initially sat down in front of the computer and began with a completely different project, but after like 5 minutes I got frustrated and worked myself into a tizzy when i couldn't execute the image like I wanted. So in order to pass the time, I chose a random stock photo from my resources library and just went to town. Granted, the photo was already touched up to some degree. But this girl just looked so plain to me, so i chose her and took her from looking plain to bangable. What do you think? An improvement or no?

Now, y'know since I have a tendency to draw pretty men. I thought making Blair gay would atone for it, since now he oficially has an excuse to look effeminate... but even so... he totally turned out looking like a butch lesbian... *sigh* whatever. If you ask me, flamboyant gay men and super manly gay chicks are interchangeable. Dangit! Well it was good lighting practice if nothing else.

This is Blair. 18 years of age and fabulouuuuss! He is Boogie's future son. A heavy smoker and a spoiled brat, the young, gay prince has only ever gotten everything he asked for through temper tantrums, manipulation tactics and whining. Most people avoid him or approach him in fear, rather than respect because if he is displeased it's likely that heads will roll. He's a naturally benevolent soul, and never does things to be straight up malicious or devious, but friends are scarce and hard to come by when the whole of society fears your mother's tyrannical power.

A lighting tutorial for Savvytar.com. This one turned out nicer than I originally planned so I decided to post it.

First Illustration of the New Year! I guess this could be called my first speedpaint too. I honestly don't know where the fuck she came from, but this song had a lot to do with it XD
