Concept: Mirage (face)

Concept: Mirage (face)

Sorry about missing last week.  I don’t really have a good excuse for that one.

So, this is Mirage’s face in color.  She was originally supposed to have her hair in pigtails but I forgot that when I first drew her into the comic.  :(

No, I haven’t really worked on re:HELLIONS lately.  I knew that I promised the next chapter to start about now but I got lazy.  You should really see my apartment.  :(  I also stopped doing the 30 day challenge because the artwork that I was producing in one day was not very good and that was upsetting me.  I learned that I prefer completeness over half-hearted forced work.

I’m now working on costumes for a Lucky Ford short film.  I can’t talk about the details before it is released.  (My personal rule regarding theatre.)  I will post links for that shortly.

My gaming PC is working out real well.  I replaced the heat sink and added some more case fans but I need 2x 3 pin Y fan power cables and some thermal gunk to finish up the heat management.  (The heat sink needs to be rotated for maximum airflow.)  Then I need to recheck my power supply status.  These things never end, do they?

Guild Wars 2 is going well.  All of my characters are over level 10 and one will be 30 in a week or so.  Yes, yes, I’m not level 80 but it’s silly to rush your character and still have the map unexplored.  I took my Necromancer into The Mad King’s Labyrinth and just about had a heart attack when I saw that the monsters there were level 80.  Then I saw that I had scaled up and 20,000 HP!  o.O  Still, I only had my lvl 13 spells so it didn’t work out too well.  I left but was dumped into Lion’s Arch instead of Queensdale.  Slightly annoying but I leveled up to 15 by completing the map.  :)

I need to wrap this up.  I will try to have something for Halloween.  Next few months will be difficult between work and making presents.  Stupid Christmas.  :(

Have fun,
d =P

Mirage concept

Concept art is this week’s post.  Now, you’ve seen the concept for Mirage posted earlier, but this time she’s in color with a color chart.  Kinda a cop out but another test in digital coloring.

Speaking of art experiments, I’m currently taking a 30 Day Art Challenge.  View it here.  It may be a waste of time and another thing added to my plate but will also give me the opportunity to update my portfolio with a variety of pieces.  So, what I’m saying is that the next chapter may be a little delayed while I work on it.  And work on the Halloween picture.

OBTW, I kinda am looking for a place that I can get the first chapter bound and printed.  I want to give them away to the people who have supported me on this crazy coaster.  Any suggestions?

Have fun,
d =P

About the next chapter and where I am:
Story: 100%
Script: 100%
Layout: 100%
Concept art: 50%
Promotional banners: 0%
Cover art: 0%
Page 1: 0%

Hi, hi!  New page day!  I got this one done on Sunday.  Rather proud of it done in advanced.  I also have next week’s completed.  :)

Ummm…so, what happened lately?  Umm…met up with a friend at the Village.  We talked about the future.  It was fun, and I hope that we can do that again.  What else?  Oh!  Got my portfolio pretty much digital.  Now just have to do some edits before I can put it all together.  Cleaned the apartment; haven’t done that in a bit.  Started playing Persona for the PSP.  Umm…that’s it, I think.  It was a boring week, I guess.  :(

Have fun,

And today is a look at the early concept for Mirage.  This is her full body art.  She looks much older in this one.  Also, I was supposed to give her pigtails, but I forgot when I drew her into the comic and had to keep going.

I took this week off from work.  I’ve spent my time going through boxes that I never unpacked and photographing stuff for my portfolio.  I have a rigged photo studio set up in my apartment.  It’s working pretty well, but don’t show anyone who actually does photography.  :(

Have fun,

It’s up.  On time.  With no weeks of filler.  I would have had this done with time to spare but I’ve been working on a side project that is very important to me.  More details on that if they develop.

Things are going well.  I’m still getting my resume and portfolio together.  Still haven’t seen The Dark Knight Rises.  Need to do that.  Need to also get up and get ready for work.  Le sigh.

Sorry, but I wish that I had more awesome things to say.

Have fun,

Yes!  It’s late but it’s up on Friday!!!  W00t!  Yay!

So, first of all, I didn’t use red.  I got bored with it.  I think that it’ll go faster in black and white.  I do like the idea of doing powers in color, though.  Well, let’s see.

Finished writing the second story arc.  Yay!  It felt so good.

Other things, work is starting to wear on me.  I need to figure things out.  I guess I’m scared to find other things though.  :(

Well, thank you for reading.  Sorry about all of the filler.

Have fun,

4th of July, 2012

4th of July, 2012

Happy Fourth of July, for those of you who celebrate.  This is the comic for the week.  I colored it completely on my iPad.  The colors looked better on it.  Maybe I imported it wrong…

So, I went away over the weekend to see The Art of Video Games exhibit at the Smithsonian.  It was neat but really crowded.  Too many kids just bouncing about and little to no parental control.  :(  Le sigh.

It’s hot.  Too hot.  Something needs to be done.  We can’t let it keep happening.  WE MUST STOP THE HEAT!!!  WHO’S WITH ME?  I’ve thought of a way to destroy the sun however, the explosion will also probably destroy the Earth with it.  But the heat will end, right?  We’re only concerned with results here.

Sorry, I had a bit of crazy there.

Have fun,

Too hot.  The store got up to 81 degrees today because the AC was broken.  Brain fried.  Can’t think. Thanks for reading.  Sorry about the lateness.  Will have something up for the Fourth of July.

Have fun,

New page.  New site theme.  I think that I need to alter the colors a bit more.  Some people may not like the pink.  :(

Step one in my plan to break into the RVA art scene.  Went and drew at the Village earlier this week.  I’m not used to drawing in public, so it didn’t go too well.  I need to get more comfortable at this if I wish to succeed.  I was planning on doing it again today but there were scheduling issues at work, so I have to go in for a few hours.  :(

Have fun,

dERiN =P
