Skullmania


I've been keeping up with the news about Wrath of the Lich King expansion. It's shaping up to be a good one and I can't wait to play it again. I've kind of taken a hiatus from it, but damn I'm getting that urge to give Blizzard money again, curse them!

In other matters, I call the above drawing the Deathdwarf! I really like the cartoony/Penny Arcadey feel of the character but I think I have to work more on the design. I showed Zia, a friend of mine, and she thought the skull motif was too much. I'm inclined to agree with her. In any case, the new comic I'm working on is coming along.

I discovered this website while I was looking for watercoloring techniques in Photoshop. Danidraws.com has been such a great resource with it's many tutorials and helpful information that I think every beginner and intermediate digital artist can benefit from visiting her website.

Dusting Off

I haven't been keeping this blog going and it's been a damn shame. I felt myself improving with every post and drawing. The reason for this is multifaceted. I could sit here all day and list them, but quite frankly I rather not look back on this hiatus and regret it. It has been a time for me to reflect and gather my thoughts on what I really want to do. I really do want to get into the games industry whatever it takes. I have to dust myself off and try again because if I don't I think I'll just end up going crazy. I've done nothing, but sit on my ass and watch tons of TV on the internet and play video games to my heart's content. It's time I unsheathed my pen again and start drawing. I'll start posting again and hopefully consistently. This time off has been a great cleansing. I feel refreshed (maybe a little to much so) and today is a new day. I'll start a new project and see where it'll take me.

Here's some filler for now, a sculpt done in Zbrush with the low poly built in Maya. I never finished it and I might just have to and stuff it into my portfolio.
