Artbook

I was invited to participate in an anime art book project. The theme is 'First'. I tried to stay away from something generic so I ended up with this...some kind of 'first' encounter between a man and a pond mermaid...*nervous laugh*.
I have tried other concepts but this one nags at me the most. And I have less than a week to complete it...oh dear.

I am open for suggestions. Make it quick though cause I'm planning on coloring this soon.


Got bored of first concept/realized it has perspective problems, moving on to this one. Better composition. And have 4 days to complete...shit.

happy with the transparent cocoon. need to fix colors...


Dead line extended, change of color scheme/pose/expression/atmosphere. Much better :3 For the first time I'm actually excited about working on this pic. The wings were cropped and pasted on from a stock photo for composition sake, will be painted later, same goes for cheap custom leaf brush. <.<


Fixed anatomy problems

And finished!

yellow + pink

Random face. I don't draw spontaneously enough. I also don't use this color scheme often.

Gemini

I tried to stay away from the mirrored image effect used so often in most gemini pieces, but to no avail...
But I am extremely happy with the layout.

Taurus

Working on clothing designs and whatnot. I've been drawing naked bodies for so long that laying down clothes has proven to be a strenuous task. Nevertheless I welcome the obstacle; clothes do make a pic much more interesting...believe it or not.

Now that the zodiac series is finally completed, what's there to do but-go back and redo the older pieces. Yes, that's right. I am that bored and uninspired.

First on the list, Aries.

Pisces

After a year of hibernation, I've finally gathered up the will to start on the last installment of my Zodiac series. Maybe through force I shall regain the motivation for drawing again...
I need inspirations -_-
Edit 6/22 - There appears to be a misunderstanding, the artworks on the right hand side are the daily top from the art community Deviantart.com (which I am a part of). These are other people's creations, I have no rights to them. The portion on the right is just a little code DA offer to us members to paste in our blogs to promote their website. I've simply put it there to make my blog feel a little less empty.

Only the artworks which I've submitted step-by-step progress on are the ones I am entitled to.


Sketch-about 2 hours. I altered the concept on this particular zodiac so many times...

Y ello thar...

Moving from Livejournal to Blogger... have to say things are more spacious over here :D I'll be enjoying my stay.

In the mean time, this is one of my entries on LJ...too lazy to post the rest but it helps to make the blog look less empty. Link to pic on deviantart
And I hope you will all like my art works, I will be posting more work in progress in here in the future ;)
