Progress

some stuff I'm working on... first is the spy being colored, almost done I guess, and the second pt1 illustration of my fairytale for Graphic Essay class. The pt2 is... er still in the works. -_-;; Enjoy ~

`

This past weekend me and Feng (also from VCU who "claims" she forgot her blog address and so I can't show you her work muaha) went to Anime USA in DC *only* because we heard Jo Chen was going to be there. So we stalked her haha and showed her our portfolios n' stuff and chatted it up.. her sister Christina is AMAZING at art as well so that was also a treat.

`

Me and Feng were such fangirls it was dumb... but Jo ended up liking us and we talked so much, and even ended up having dinner with her and Christina. They are the nicest people, so down to earth and chill. Me and Feng definitely hope to hang out with them again!

so blue

sooo.... I'm taking a different approach to the final 3/4 views of the team fortress characters! Did these drawings last night real quick, they just seemed to flow out my pencil haha.. Going back to basics and seeing what I can do with painting these instead haha // sigh I know but I'm just continually experimenting. ^^ These are the first 3, medic, pyro (creature [weapon really] designed by http://tedikuma.blogspot.com/ who is in the group I'm in for this school project), spy - 3 more to come.

`

p.s. purple is pretty <3

`

the last 2... was fun, and I learned a lot, but overworked and they must rest in peace. ; ; Thank you everyone for your input in that, lol

?!

hm.. yeah i dunno'

`

seemed cool at first, but not so much now, here's an update ~ this is an image where i just drew something and tried to make a mindless sketch into something more - there will be a diff' version later

`

i'm just so full of myself

1 hour in painter - it's me again muahaha

`

no really it's for international self portrait day at conceptart.org

`

works in progress

um... this isn't in the right order the project is supposed to be in but I got excited what can I say hehe.. :) experimenting, painting, doodling... etc

`

works in progress by the way, and these are just small crops of the full images.. enjoy (eep forgot to mention some of this is supposed to mimic 40s-50s sci-fi :)

Sketches

various pencil sketches i just now scanned, business professor lol, and the last 2 me n' JJlotus lil' random drawing sessions... bubble monster and sushi hero

`

the red cloth - because i was kind of feeling lame trying to paint cloth from memory w/o much practice ^_^ // about 40 min in painter, was hard

`

self portrait

from mirror - man... i look very angry at someone :P

`

witch sketch

started in business class

`

i'm starting to like business class ...

`

so anywho this image is all weird looking for some reason, not so crisp as it should be... sorries all. it happened to my ridinghood image way back too, not sure what's up.

i'm doing a tutorial tomorrow in my concept for movies/vid games class and this is the "finished" result. i hope it goes well! i learned a lot in the process too! haha :)

`

serenity redos

done. some of it was fun and i definitely learned a lot for what to do or not do next time i do something like this. the critique in class actually turned out to be constructive and somewhat honest - not something i've seen the past few years except for from teachers of course

`

also i've had requests for prints on these, if anyone else is interested, contact me at naomiful@gmail.com and i'll give you the prices. thank you for looking! :)

`

zoe, simon, operative, river, shepherd, wash, inara, jayne, kaylee, mal, and mr. universe

`

sketchezzzzz

sketchbook pages from a new sketchbook ~ should have the serenity images up by the weekend. :3

`

first one is one of the only sketches not digital of one of the members of the project! oops hehe ~ was bored in business. and the dude under her is my business teacher lol :D

`

then there's some more people and the last 2 from a Bodies exhibition in DC i went to this past weekend. it was very interesting!

`

also I talked to a junior concept drawing class today about drawing. one of the tips i suggested for being able to draw better and more confidently was to ... *cue glitter and magic and special fluffy things* DRAW!

changes // new ppl

here are Kaylee (already posted, changed proportions), Mal and Zoe redone from Serenity. i finally figured out what i was struggling with switching from painter to photoshop .... and a couple of my images were messed up because of it. sigh... oh well i learned from it. Like Kaylee (first one), she was one of the first to be made and upon switching the colors are a little weird. Mal is ok, a little dark, but colored straight from my sketch lines digital, but Zoe is most successful... as there was a real sketch then refinement. It's a little late to go back and re-do the images in the same way (except for one that was just too far gone messed up, which I am re-doing 'cause the colors are waaaay jacked), but I really like the direction it is going.

by the way, i'm soooo DONE with vcu. ready to graduate plz kthx.....

figure drawings from this past Friday

some concept stuff

edit: here's a sketch of Jayne, just can't figure out what weapon to put in his hand ; ;

something to update - redesigns from show/movie Serenity or whatever, I haven't seen any of it, for a class. Kaylee and River so far, and the other friggin 9!!!! characters to go for this project including a bunch of other stuffs ~ so.. stay tuned haha :)
