The cover I have been working on was approved as-is by the writer -- he gave me free rein and not much input. For once I actually like how it turned out! I might go back and tweak the typeface a bit but I think I'm done with it, unless he wants/pays for more changes.
The fantasy/fiction deity project is coming along but I'm not sure I'm too keen on the style I'm experimenting with. I read some feedback on another person's work where the viewer said that readers don't like "3d renders" for this sort of thing so I'm trying to reduce that 3d rendered look for this, and I don't really like it yet. I suppose I need to remind myself that I Just Can't Please Everyone.

What should I render next? Twi'lek femme? Drow?
Jedi Temple Setting?
It's way past time for me to get back to work on things creative, isn't it?
What would you use for a Jedi Temple setting in a render?
I have a few ideas, but I can't recall seeing any other renders with that sort of setting.
10 October 2014 - Thumbnail Sketches and Planning
Back to doing the visual arts homeschooling for my niece after a brief break: we had to evacuate for a while due to a Freaking Forest Fire. Needless to say, that threw any interest in learning out the window for a while.
We finished up color theory (for now) and she proved she has a good grasp of it and what it's for. That's more than I could say for myself when I was her age!
Tonight we went over thumbnail sketches and why they're useful. I felt awful because it was mostly lecture and very little practice... boring stuff, and I'm sure it's hard to see why they're useful if you don't do them. Do any of you do thumbnail sketches before you s
5 July 2014 - Back to School
No, I'm not going back to school (I WISH!) and neither is the niece, not yet. But her homeschooling starts up again in about a month, so I'm spending my free time planning Art Stuff to comply with the State standards for Grade 7 Visual Arts. So far I have the Principles of Design and Color Theory taken care of (I am damn sure I didn't have to learn that stuff in 7th grade!) and some more stuff on the illusion of space and movement and... painting.
I have always hated the mess of painting (I ruined more clothes than I want to admit with phthalo green) and I think that's one reason why I'm happy to sit before the computer and make my messes on
16 May 2014 - Silly Cats
On the visual arts lessoning front, the niece seemed to have more fun when I stopped with the observational drawing practice and focused on cutesy chibi style cartoon stuff for her. Much relieved. I think she was particularly frustrated with the human proportions stuff (which in turn frustrated me, cos that was the stuff I loved practicing the most!)
Practicing silly cat drawings went a lot easier and everyone in the house said they enjoyed that more. MORE CATS. OK.
The next bullet point is to integrate technology, which I'm having her do by prepping a drawing to be scanned, cleaning it up and turning it into transparent lineart, and colori

Oh god. You do both so well I couldn't decide. ....Wait--what would happen if a drow met a twi'lek? BEST OF BOTH WORLDS?
