Art book idea

No new art due to waiting for my tablet, and no scanner, but in the meantime, enjoy this lady I never posted here! She is part of a concept I'd like to work on this summer/next semester of MONSTER LADIES (and possibly their boy counterparts?) to assemble into an artbook and to further practice photoshop skills with.

Senior Portraits

I don't know if I'm allowed to post these yet, but they were supposed to be a big project by the Illustration 2 class to draw a certain amount of assigned seniors for the final issue of the Black and White. I think they are now being released at graduation, so don't tell anyone! I was assigned Melissa Ball, Dominic VanHorn and Amy Lowright.

In other news, probs no new art for a while for the fact I can only draw shitty and depressing pictures of me being dumped, and I'm going home to a scannerless and probably internetless room. So, I'll be back eventually!

Harpy

Lady

I'm gettin better with those there brush lines, me thinks. Sorry for her wonky hand. I fixed her wonky eye/eyebrows but was too lazy to fix that. I keep trying to draw diverse ladies, and it works sometimes, but then when I draw guys they all look like my boyfriend. I need to practice GUYS instead haha. Not that it's a bad thing they look like him, but that's just my opinion and I'm sure everyone else is like "WTF". As usual, texture from www.hibbary.deviantart.com

Ton o' Stuff

I'm totally into bottomless pits of death for eyes

Went back and fixed this little guys eyes. I know i'm weird, but now he has big jelly cute eyes and gah. wanna eat him up!

Inking practice

Reinvention

I'm trying to make my monsters look more like my humans. I got a lot of compliments on my human art and I want to kind of consciensciously unify the two. I feel like my monsters were leaning into a style that wasn't my own, gaining little popular quirks and letting mesoamerican art influence me rather than let myself influence it and make something new. So this is what I came up with, and I like it. It's not a HUGE difference, and these were quickies, but I think it's big enough for me to feel like my art is finally unified.
