Update on the PatchTogether Fox

Today's Music




I haven't really put much time into this to be completely honest, but I think I've got the basic style down that I want to use for the actual design. I think I'll actually find time to finish the front view tonight.

Possible idea for Patch Together

First of all, have some lovely music.


Next up, I'm thinking of putting together a design for Patch Together but I'm afraid that my lack of popularity wouldn't bring me enough votes/preorders to get the item made.

For the actual design, I'm thinking something along the lines of a Kabuki style Kitsune. I threw together a rough sketch that I thought I'd share with everyone to try and get some input. The overall design idea is to have the fox standing on a log so I have the freedom to stylize the character without fear that it wouldn't stand up. Anyways, keep in mind this is still a very rough sketch.

Any input is welcome C:



I'm basing the face markings on traditional kabuki face paint designs like these in addition to examples of Kistune Masks I've seen in portions of little Tokyo on trips to L.A.

I'm really hoping I can put an ascetically pleasing character that doesn't go as far to resemble Amaterasu from the Okami games.

New Art dump!

Hey everyone, just dumping a few things here for the sake of actually sharing them. Mostly posting here to show that I -do- actually still draw from time to time XD

Drew this tonight...rather this morning. Was attempting to try a more realistic facial structure while still retaining a toony looks and feel. Not sure what I think about it as it is 5am now.


An experiment in Oekaki since I haven't touched them in a long time. Decided to go ahead and use Shi Painter Pro. I actually am a bit pleased with the results.


This one was a quickie sketch of a sergal, one of the nifty creatures created by Trancy Mick.


This was going to be a gift sketch for Anjila, but I never got around to doing anything with it.



When I was ustreaming one night, I offered a few requests and this seemed to be the only one I liked enough to toss some color on. I decided to keep the sketch layer intact simply because I thought it gave the doodle a little more character in the end.



I recently started playing Ragnarok Online with Rakko over on RebirthRO.com and I have to say, it's actually a rather fun game. I always find myself playing when I should be doing something constructive..eh. In an attempt to remedy this, I decided to enter the server's loading screen contest. I essentially play as Theo minus the crazy marking/hair colors XD Paladin characters are love.



A little bit of giftart for someone on one of the Oekaki sites I belong to. Not sure what her character is, but it's adorable and I decided I needed to draw it.


The sketch work on an icon commissioned from someone on Livejournal. Going to be finishing this up soon. Not sure if I like how the angle turned out, but I'm still trying my damnedest to improve the way I draw human based characters.



This one was more or less a test on male anatomy and thicker builds. Generally, I have this tendency to draw skinny, effeminate men unintentionally so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and attempt a remake of this. I don't really plan on finishing this, but for the sake of showing I at least attempted a different body structure, I'm sharing this with you.






And last sketch for now, my Sabertooth character Sabbeo. I decided to goof around with his design and give him some pudge for the sake of saying I can draw more varied body types. Also wanted to mess around with expressions, and as you can see he's not all too excited about the situation.
