RuneScape Sketch

In honour of the fact that I've been playing RuneScape, I drew a quick little runecrafting sketch :XD: If I continue with this picture, I think I'll make the person bigger. At first I wanted the nature altar to look really big, but looking at it, I feel like the person needs to be bigger. She needs fixing anyway because my anatomy is faaaaail!     Book of Zamorak Update Some of the pages are still drying. I folded about half of them into signatures but some of the pages were still a bit too

Leathercrafting & RL Zamorak Book 2

So it's been a few days (nearly a week actually) since I've posted an update on my RL Book of Zamorak. I did manage to dye *most* of the pages that I had cut out. I ended up skipping some because it got late and I was tired, but the book will still be pretty thick, which is good. Still over 200 pages, I think. Unfortunately the pages are STILL drying. Since I had to take them to university, I don't have enough space to lay them out to dry one at a time, so I had to stack them in three separ

Making a RL Zamorak Book

I have embarked on a new book-related project! This one is going to be much more time consuming than my last two books, first of all because it's going to be more intricate, and second of all because it's going to be THICK (over 200 pages). So far here's what I'm thinking:   A red leather-bound book with "aged" pages. On the front cover, the leather will be engraved with the Zamorak symbol. On the corners of the book will be black metal corner protectors. I may add other engravings/decorati

Handmade Journal

I made this journal for my sister :) Sewed the pages and made the cover myself, I didn't just throw some fabric over a pre-made journal ;) It's 80 pages and I used a lovely Chinese silk for the front cover (as well as some rhinestone trim along the edges). The bookmark isn't totally done yet. The leaf charm actually isn't attached to the cord yet, I need to find an O-ring somewhere. Once I do, the cord will be trimmed down and the charm will be attached. I don't want the cord to be quite th

First Handmade Book

I can't remember if I said this in a previous entry or not, but I've been teaching myself a few new crafts, one of which is bookbinding! I finished my very first book tonight! It's INCREDIBLY simple and there are many flaws, but it's only my first attempt! I will hopefully be creating more interesting and intricate leather-bound books with all sorts of fun embellishments in the future. So attempt #1:     I didn't have any proper fabric laying around but I wanted to finish the book tonight s

Art Assignment

Here is half of my assignment for art class. This photo is absolutely terrible. The lighting in my room at uni sucks, making the image dark and just desaturating most of the colours D:

Meh - Sketch (Updated W/Another)

Meh I don't know if I'll continue with this. It's just a crappy sketch at the moment and I'm far from happy with it. If I decide to continue, I'll have to spend a lot more time on refining the sketch and getting the anatomy right >_     P.S. If anyone has any cool, large, high quality RuneScape screenshots, feel free to post or PM them to me! I may use them as references for future drawings!   EDIT: Random sketch from class today :) It's of a classmate of mine.

Avatar Picture - DONE!

I finally got around to finishing my Avatar picture!     I have a few assignments for my art class coming up so I may end up posting those in the next two weeks or so XD If I like how they turn out, that is :P

Avatar Art

If you're reading this, hopefully you've seen Avatar (and in 3D), but if not, then I command you to go see it! I decided to jump on the Avatar fan art bandwagon and have a go at drawing Neytiri. Here's what I have so far and you can see the earlier WIP screenshots below that ;)     Here's the eye at 100% zoom, because I have an eye fetish:     [hide=WIP Screenshots]     [/hide]   Drawing braids is TERRIBLE but hopefully I will get the hair done tomorrow D:

Queen of Hearts WIP #2

I posted the first WIP screenshots of my Queen of Hearts drawing a few weeks ago now D: I have since done a bit more work on it (though not much, admittedly):     That screenshot is at 25% zoom. Here are some 100% zoom screenshots for fun:           The designs on the throne aren't final and definitely won't be that obvious in the final version. They'll have a more "subtly engraved" look. I'm just throwing around some design ideas.   P.S. There are currently 192 hearts in this picture!

Queen of Hearts WIP

I haven't made a new blog entry in what has felt like ages so I thought I'd post what I've been working on.. I've been working on this picture off and on for like a week or two now. I actually have an even more recent version than the latest one posted here, but the screenshot I took while I was working on it had a nasty word in it that I have to get rid of for posting on Tip.it and I'm too lazy to fix that now :D         The background design and floor textures are from CGTextures. The gro

Doodle

Just a quick doodle for fun. I was bored with it by the time I got to the hair, which is why it sucks :-# (there are other flaws too, I know)

Follow Your Heart (FINISHED)

I've been working on this off and on the past few days and it's finally done :)     And some fun, cheesy love quotes just because:   "True love is not something that comes everyday, Follow your heart, it knows the right answer."   "Love is a gift, not an obligation, follow your heart and always trust the person you love."   "To be able to say how much you love is to love but little."   "Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same."   "Let your hear

Follow Your Heart & Cat

So I was feeling lovey dovey and romantic tonight and thus I started a new picture, which I'm titling Follow Your Heart. It's still in the VERY FIRST stage so... don't judge it too much :lol: I literally only just threw down a gradient to set the mood, sketched out the characters (still have plenty of things to fix/redraw/change/add) and plotted down the base colours that I will be using.     In other news, I have the cutest snugglebug of a cat. My mom e-mailed me some photos (as I'm at uni)

Muse Update

I don't know what else to call it, so I'm calling it Muse :P Anyway I worked on this picture a bit more today. I'm not really sure if I like it. I'm not happy with the shading on the blue hand and I feel like the center is far too cluttered now. Might try to fix it, might not :P

Muse... Be My Muse

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh. This (unfinished and may never be finished) drawing looked so much better in my head:     It started with Starlight by Muse:     From that, I got this idea of two hands touching and 'electrifying' each other in some romantic way, like having the spark between the two hands take the form of a heart or a butterfly. Then I started working off of this whole "opposites attract" theme with the canvas being divided into two different colours (of course, the typical male

The Scorpion King Progress

Just a few more screenshots of my progress on the Scorpion King picture and what I have so far at the end of the day:   Working on the refined version, starting with the eyes (100% zoom)   Moved the army standard to the left (25% zoom)   Two layers of shadows, one layer of highlights on the face only (33.33% zoom)   Current version (25% zoom)   Random Notes I hate the nose, but I doubt I'll fix it (or even be able to). I may add scars/veins etc. I will be redoing the army standard. Right

The Scorpion King W.I.P.

If you've seen The Mummy Returns, you'll know who this is :P         The above images are all still sketches. The Scorpion King Army Standard will be much more refined and just... better XD Most of the drawings are pretty crappy.   [hide=W.I.P. #1][/hide]   This is just a sketch and me blocking in the colours to get the mood/lighting right. Hopefully I'll actually finish this >_

Happy Halloween

A bit early I know...     I was talking to Chris on MSN while drawing the picture, which resulted in me taking a bunch of "in progress" screenshots. So if you're interested you can check them out :P   [hide=Halloween WIP Screenshots]         [/hide]   [hide=Details]Some screenshots of the picture while the canvas is zoomed in at 100%:   [/hide]   And on a completely unrelated note, I love my kitty:

A Cliche Day

Cliche stuff is fun.     If I was feeling really cliche (and not lazy) I would have found a dictionary and made the heart right next to the definition of love. But I don't have a dictionary so I settled for my lame school book (which I so don't love) D:

Realism Is Win

I felt artsy today and thus drawing took priority over homework (as usual). This means I get to wake up at 8am to finish my homework but that's okay.   I told myself I was going to draw a realistic person for once so I started off with a black and white sketch just to see if it would work. I am ACTUALLY going to finish this one I promise :P So here's what I have so far:     Everything will be much more refined in the coloured version (and the lighting will be a bit better) but Peter said I s

Horsey

I don't know if I'll work anymore on this, so I guess I'll post it here :XD: Just decided to sketch a horse. It's obviously pretty messy but it was more of a sketch than a refined piece of artwork.
