Reddit Gets Drawn

Recently found that subreddit and I have been having a great time painting.  It's nice to have a new selections of subjects every day.  And some of the pictures are also really great stock photo resources.

Here's what I've done so far:

Just a value study.  The values got kinda weird when I uploaded it.

Weather App

So the boyfriend had a school project to make a weather app using...something with Google, I dont know the technical half, but it was just supposed to be an app that visually tells you the weather in whatever place you want.   He needed some art for it, and since I'm pretty much a good person, I helped him out.

Also we decided that we would continue with this project just because the art didnt turn out so bad.  I kinda churned this out in one night...so given more time we're gonna create some more stuff, and change a few things.  But this is what I have!

Some night time shit.

And a sun.

GIANT RAIN.

Apocalypse Snow

Yeah so that's the gist of it.  Here's the actually website link.  http://toyweather.herokuapp.com/index.html

Eventually it's gonna look good actually.  We're planning to make it so it can tell if you're in an urban/suburb/rural area and the house and scenery would change based on that.  Also make clouds, since that happens.  And a few other things I cant remember right now.  Something about seasons too or whatever?

This is like the first hardcore working thing I've done since school.  Stayed up till it was like 9 am doing it, just like the good old times.  My hand was sore too hahaha.

Strange Fruit Colors

Alright so here's some beginning colors. I like most of them but I'm kinda worried about my crow. I dont wanna mess up, but I think I can pull it off in the end.....?

Strange Fruit

Ok so here's a redo of a previous painting I did.

It can be a poster or even a book cover but it's based on the lyrics of the song "Strange Fruit" performed by Billie Holiday.

The song is a poem about lynchings in the south.

Here is the poem:

Southern trees bear a strange fruit,

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,

Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant South,

The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,

Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,

Then the sudden smell of burning flesh!

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,

For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,

For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop,

Here is a strange and bitter crop.

So we got some crow, some blood on some leaves, and I'm gonna try to get some pastoral colors in there.

I also want to see if it's possible to create that oily shine that crows have without too much difficulty.

Fauns

This is the start of the final image.

These are the color studies, the bottom one is the one I'm using.

Degree Project

My Dad was interested in getting a link to pictures of my degree project, so I figured this is the best place to post it! Right?

Physics.

Biology.

Chemistry.

Finshed Spiders

I guess this is finished. I like it a lot more after not looking at it for like...10 hours straight.

Also I think this is a lot darker than it is for real?

Another thing, I'm really liking this lady's work:

http://www.margueritesauvage.com/#flower women

I feel like I'd really enjoy doing some line drawings like that without any shading. Also the fact that they're just really light hearted interests me.

Arachne

Thumbnails for arachne. This is very loosely based on her, it's more of just like...a spider lady, who likes to eat people.

And the almost final sketch. I made her legs a bit more staggered and other small deets.

Color studies last. I think she's going to be very pale purple with white hair but her spider body will be darker.

Portfolio

Here's the mailers I've currently finished for portfolio.

Focusing on a kind of greek mythology.

The Harpies.

A kind of Artemis.

And a water nymph. They're all pretty much done, maybe just a few tweaks.

Except for the water nymph, she needs quite a bit more work, though I'm working on an arachne image to take it's place in the mailers.

Copypasta

Uploading art like all you other bitches.

I've found that I cant draw anymore so watch your faces

I like birds

Ben's iPod was a god model.  Only moved once.

Not enough Hulk.

Comcast box didnt move once.  Great job.

Great job.

The Misch.

Cole Swavely.  I tried to focus mainly on the perfect ears and brows.

Amy.  Her hair is "FUCKIN' AWESOME."

Amy's leg and Misch's ass on the train.

Sketches

Some more random sketches from my sketchbook.

A few more.

These are just some other random people that I like.

Mariessa

(This one is incorrectly labled) Dee-Dub.

Amy's

I drew the second one in Non-Photo Blue pencil, so it's not very visible.

Figures

Nicole!  I draw Nicole a lot because she is good at holding still.  Since she usually is taking a nap.

This is a good progression of her falling asleep.

I like this one the best.

That is all!  FOR NOW.

"I'm Still Alive~"

Says my little Avocado plant.  This almost sounds like the beginning to a creepy fan fiction about that plant.  Haha!

I left it in my apartment in Boston over the summer and was sure it had died and that I had shamed my super asian family.  Cant even keep a plant alive!  But no!  I returned and it was more beautiful than I had ever imagined it would be!

I'm so proud!

So I drew it.

I wanna try to work less so I can draw more...but if I do that then I wont have much money for next year...3 more weeks!  Then I am free of work.  If I dont get to draw all the people I want.  I'll just take the dancing magazines with me to Boston, so that I draw them whenever I want.  I guess I'll just draw the plants in my yard mostly.  The Dahlia's are blooming~

Some kind of post?

I decided I should upload art of some kind.  To prove to myself almost that I have drawn at least a little this summer.

These are drawings done at work when I had a few minutes to myself.  Surprisingly, none of them are pizza oriented.

Obviously not done at work, I just drew that now.  The pictures are backwards if you have not noticed.  This is ATHF, Nintendo DS Lite version.  I like Shake the best, cause I couldnt remember defining features of anyone else.

This I did not do this summer, it was just in the room.  A painting for my mom's b-day.  I did it like...an hour before she came home from work that day.  She liked it a lot for some reason.  Yeah. It's 2 years old!  My painting skill has not improved.

Hard to see.

I like drawing things that look kinda religious.  Despite my obvious disregard for any form of religion.  Maybe I can draw more things like that.  I will see.

I miss drawing in my sketchbook....the paper is larger than 4 inches, it's nice.  One day I will sit down and just draw ballet dancers all day.  That is my dream.

And the flowers that bloom in my yard.  They are coming out.

Also I sound so dull man! D:  What's going on?
