Tower WIP

  Lineart for a painting. My interpretation of Rapunzel in Art Nouveau (like, if Rapunzel was the stolen princess of Andalasia XD). I was inspired by Claire Keane's concept art for Tangled. Final painting to follow soon.

If you'd like to use this lineart to color, please ask first and link back to me. Thanks.

Smoulder

Here's the finished piece. I played around a lot with the different brushes and tried out some techniques and styles I learned about on dA and at Anime Boston today (which was a blast. I definitely want to be a part of Artist's Alley next year). This piece really isn't wicked complex and wouldn't've taken half as long if I understood Paint Tool Sai better but that's the point of practice, right? Anyway, Happy Easter, good night.

Some more Tangled ((c)Disney) fanart. I'm currently painting it in Paint Tool Sai. I'll try to post more frequently, I promise.

edit: i finished the lineart so I added that as well.

when will my life begin?

As anyone who has spoken to me over the past month or so will know, Tangled (50th feature length animated movie from Disney) came out on DVD today. Needless to say I ran right out and bought it then proceeded to watch it. Twice.

 

This started as a sketch while I was watching the movie but after finding a great lineart technique and reading Loish's Q&A about what brushes she uses to get her amazing textures, I wanted to play around a bit. This took half an hour, tops. I totally plan on doing more of these XD. As always with fanart, the artwork may be mine but the character is (c) Disney. I adore this movie, especially this scene. I started to add the lanterns but they looked a little too firefly-y. 

In other news: 

I love it when I'm productive XD I not only got around to some stuff I've had looming for awhile around the house (cleaning, picking up, etc.), I also spent 7+ hours at the lab today and made epic progress on some animations and those character sheets. They aren't done yet but they're getting there so expect to see some of them in the future. ^.^

Midterms

Phew, now I just have to wait for my midterms to get graded ^.^:;
Out of the 5 I finished (one of which I want to go back and fix) I have 4 of the Body Modification paintings on display in the lobby of Williams, the art building at UVM. Once I get them back down again, I'll take some pictures of the bionic heart and mechanical mermaid since I haven't posted those yet. My dad took some pictures as well so I might update with a better picture but here's a picture of them on display!I've lately been wicked obsessed with How to Train Your Dragon, which came out on DVD a little over a week ago. I highly recommend it to anyone. Imagine realistic cinematic lighting design and textures with much better storytelling than Dreamworks usually comes up with. Speaking of which, I just caught a TV spot for Tangled and it looks like their trying for Dreamworks quality. I guess they realized their stuff couldn't compete with Pixar's (not that they really needed to). Anyway, expect more fanart at some point but here's a sketch of Toothless and Hiccup flying around. I'm trying to work more with animal forms so don't hold it against me if you aren't a fan of this. It's just a doodle.
