Pessimistic Swallow Stuff


Test of the first page. I think I'm going to do these in black and white with a grey.

Paintings and Bunnies

Here are some pieces from this weekend so far:


My friend had a graduation party, so I made her a card. With a sleeping bunny on it. She likes cute things, you see. Markers n' brushpen

This is an illustration I started and finished last night. I haven't done any pen/ink watercolors seriously in months, and little things not since a week or two ago, so I made this for practice. I used a DK Environment/Science book for reference on the forest plants. Moss and ferns everywhere!

Making involved environments (or environments at all) is a thing that I never put much effort into until maybe the last year or so. It's actually pretty fun, I enjoy it. Perspective can be kind of a challenge, but the shapes are mostly organic and this was shallow enough that I didn't need to worry about it too much. I need to get out and plein-air paint more so I can have better references.

The character is Daisy Snarlbear, a fantasy hero who has spent the last seven years of her life in the Rainbow Dimension, where she fought monsters, saved tiny rainbow citizens and annoyed the unicorn aristocracy.

Well


I'm in kind of a comics slump right now and didn't end up making the silly dragons comic I had in mind when I wrote my last post. So, instead, here is a picture of me pretending to be a wizard in a stupid awesome hat that I made.

NaNoMangO: Compromise

I'm stuck on a character design for Pessimistic Swallow, so I'm trading the ten sketch pages I have left to complete for five-seven (haven't thumbnailed yet) inked pages for an unrelated short piece. It's going to be high fantasy, because I am in the mood for dragons right now.

NaNoMangO: Pages 10 and 11



This isn't a page, I just thought I'd upload my hasty scan of my treasure map reference:
