Jonathon gettin’ busy makin’ more Brisbies… hey, those kids popped outta something!
This is pretty much just a colored sketch aka speedpaint. Sometimes I get comments like “the thumbnail reads well but it looks bad on full view” or “why is it so messy” well, that’s because I didn’t spend 8 hours doing the real work of painting.
As you get better, you stop being blinded by niceties like perfect linework, overblending or detailwork and focus more on the composition of something and the skill involved by taking a wider view of things and not just, say, complaining because one thing doesn’t meet your specific tastes. After all, we all became artists because no one created exactly what we, ourselves, wanted and desired at a certain quality or look!
The reason being, it only takes people about 3 seconds to consume media but it takes hours and days to produce it so my blog is going to accrue a lot of WIPs, concepts and the process of it all.
I do have plenty of finished pieces in my gallery though.
There are times when I struggle with the simplest things… and now that I’ve drawn it, it wasn’t even really the angle I wanted with the head so I’m going to do a different pose
“Aw, come on over here, sugahcube, you can buck me from the back barndoor if ya want to…”
Some AJ fan will be pleased with the random pick from tonight, I’m sure.
20 hours later…
Art trade done for Neoteny to get the third team member for Ludum Dare Jam with Alex so I can evenly split visuals / audio / programming.
Gami’s over this weekend too so it’s probably going to be a bit chaotic while we organize via Skype. I may stream or not, depends on my stress levels.
Daily sketches, concept art by phone; didn’t have time to do a proper scan and it wasn’t really worthy of it anyways. Might do some more digital concepts tonight for my pastebin todo list on that timesink of a Flash.
