Got Just the Tool for the Job

Collab I am doing with Tigrrlily on DA or my character Angra. Started a long time ago but I finally got off my ass and colored it. Thin ink phase always takes to damn long I lose my steam by the time I get to the colors.

Whoa an update? holy shit haven't seen one of those in a while. Yes, I come bearing news for those who don't read this. I met a girl this semester who can actually stand my crazy ass and is delightfully quirky enough to balance me out. She and I are now in a relationship and thing are going well. This is here is a portrait of my sweet lil' Amberli.

Angra Femme a.k.a. DAT ASS!!!

I sketched this out in April 09 but but hadn't the skill to finish it. Having done some stuff in between I found a way to finish it to my satisfaction. This is Angra, my personal character for a storyline rolling around in my head. Story BG chunks used to be on DA but I deleted them in the throes of epic nerd rage. So I will get the story don't at some point in the future. maybe...
Anywizzle, this is Angra in her feminine form. She can switch back and forth from a muscular form and femme form at will depending on what she needs to do. Gotta love dat ass.

The Green Faeries' Song

This is a commission pic I took during the summer for a very dear friend of mine. This is her character Mizuki. She has just had a hard time and is in a very dark place literally and figuratively. As you may or may not know, Absinthe is called the Green Faerie and is one of Tigrrrlily's favorite drinks hence its inclusion in the pic. Plus I like drawing fairy boobs

aaaaaawww yeah /:{)
*note the porno mustache*

Rukia in Earth Tones

I love earth tones. I mean seriously, 90% of what I wear is earth tones. I just kinda picked the colour by accident and the pic started colouring itself after that. Special thanks to CaptainJane @ DA for getting me to draw Rukia.



These are the other versions of her that I have been calling "Cheshire Rukia." I guess the new preview for Alice in Wonderland is inspiring that.

Mary Jane

Ok so on the news a week ago they were talking about this "Big Pot Bust" in my town. Which I chuckled at b/c I have a juvenile sense of humor which then lead me create this.

I looked over 14-Bis's tutorial on shadows and it was quite informative. I didn't know the actual names of the different types but being able to id them I will be able to pay more attention to the differing types of shadows I can employ. I tried to do a little bit of it in this pic here. I still need a little work.
