Random Sketches
So I figured, since I do technically have a lot of sketches and doodles that I do when I have free time or when I'm bored, why not upload them? Originally I wanted to transfer them digitally but since most of them were done in a steno pad and I don't actually have scanner, I took pictures of them with my phone instead. Eventually I lost interest in ever tracing over them so here they are.

Seeing color through your eyes

So obviously, the title is a bit of a literal translation, but also in figurative sense. Original concept was suppose to be a girl with a camera, but I thought better of it (would've made more sense, probably) because I didn't feel like drawing a camera.
Also, I suck at hands.

Mighty Aphrodite

Took me long enough to actually finish this thing. Initial sketch in Painter, didn't turn out well even with adjustments in Paint.Net. So I redid the line art and the colors. Need work on my texturing. Had to use Photoshop CS4 for the final touches, particularly the color adjustments. Of course compared to the original concept (it was suppose to be an angel), and from this:

Why So Serious?

I've always thought that as far character design goes, the late Heath Ledger's Joker was the quintessential image of the classic DC comics villain. Now it's kind of hard to imagine the Joker in another form. The gritty-realistic lok just makes everything else a silly and ridiculous caricature of the Clown Prince of Crime.
The above was made from this existing sketch, which you'll have to excuse the quality since it was just a rough sketch and taken with a phone cam rather than being properly scanned:
From there, it was just a matter of tracing the sketch with Corel Painter X and painting with using oils. Admittedly, the texture isn't exactly what you'd call impresive and the shading work is kinda lazy (especially on the hair). But it's probably a huge improvement over the Joker I did months ago.

First Post (Because Hello World is So Passé)
Now, unlike my other blog, I won't ramble on like an idiot (oh wait, too late). Instead, I'll pretend to be one of them famous artists and pretend that I know what I'm doing by discussing the process involved in the images I will be posting here. So Here. We. Go...
The portrait above was obvious done in Steno Notebook while taking a break at work. Since I was just doodling around, I stuck with a ballpoint pen, also I didn't have my handy number 2 pencil, so there (DON'T JUDGE ME). I decided to make it a little cartoon-ish but still went through the painstaking shading process which surprisingly came out OK if not great. The style is a bit reminiscent of the early days of one of my favorite webcomics Questionable Content.
