First tablet drawing in a month, and it's an icon for starquill c:!

Aaaand as always I couldn't decide which version I like best. I'm a bit derpy when it comes to icons.

Pick whichever you like most @^@!

key chain

2009-10-03T20:57:34Z

Sooo my key chain for my car key broke into four pieces. The fabric just kind of tore up suddenly. Couldn't take anymore :'(.

Do any of you guys know someone who takes key chain commissions? I'm thinking something like clay (can those take any sort of abuse like getting thrown in a purse, or do I have to be really careful?) or maybe even metal?? I've seen these offered before, but now I don't know where to look :I.

I'd rather live it

Wooow been forever since an art post. SORRY GUYS. I miss my tablet pen ;3;.

Also warning. Some of these are really old. We're talking back from JUNE sort of old. D: They range from June to last Monday. They are ordered oldest to newest.

So.. deformed :|

I drew this in Hawaii... Somehow a golden dwarf moray (a Hawaiian endemic) in a sort of Hawaiian scene seemed like a cute idea.

That oozing monster on the side was supposed to be a mutated hexadragon :V.

This was REALLY COOL in my head. Something happened between my head and the paper. It's a ling cod eating a smaller rock cod, eating a live anchovy bait fish. This actually happened at the docks here. The ling wasn't even hooked, but it got pulled on board anyway because it just wouldn't let go! BADASS.

I started this thinking about serious different patterns and colors. Then my art block woke up and was like SCREW THIS, MAN. Then rainbows happened. I don't know how to feel about this.

I was hesitant to post this but whatever. I see other people posting vent art, so although I thought I was past this shit GUESS AGAIN. Now and then isn't so bad I guess.

Shinerai and Tantalummmm :}! This was fun.

Artemis for Nat down in the corner there~. c:

I have other gifts done but I haven't filled up the pages completely yet so they aren't included here. :>

A jillion photos

12 of them.

3 snakes and A DOG.

Koa was irritated I was making her sit there for me :V. She was also trying very hard to make it look like she has feelings in these photos. But you can see how empty her eyes are.

Only one turned out well of Ambellina.

and your little dog, too

2009-09-12T00:36:58Z

Teethy photos of the big eel under the cuuut :V.

Went back on Iscribble. I love that place when I'm bored.

A couple from tonight:

And now that it's past midnight I can go play more neopet games :I. Wow I am so mature tonight!

Three drawings, but one of them is pretty wide.

I drew Moro's Pride for her current story B). This guy is awesome. The mouths open, and he actually ends up tripping and falling out of his skin in the story xD;;.

Fish being retarded.

I also drew Moro's chimeras >:U. She let me decide what the third animal would be, and of course I said eel 6__9. These chimeras belong to Lust in the storyyy.

Took some photos of Tuskie today :3. He's still doing well!

CURSE YOU SMUDGE ON GLASS. But I like that the teeth are in focus ;;.

Partially out of the water! c: I was using food to make him pose so nicely, so he is begging at the surface in this one.

2009-08-28T10:17:42Z

I have not really been drawing much lately. Same as the last couple months really.

So I forced myself to draw the closest thing next to me.

Can you guess where I got lazy? _{Hint: There is more than one right answer!}

nnnnnn

2009-08-20T09:14:12Z

FFFFF I loved District 9.

And now I can't stop drawing roboootts. Except I've basically never drawn something mechanical before so I am like HUR DURRRR HOW IS MACHINE WORK.

Two below the cut.

The legs can work if you imagine the whole leg moving... Like even where it connects to the body?? Or MAYBE I JUST MESSED UP 8).

Can you tell I like BSing smokey backgroouunds??

3 images

2009-08-19T06:36:58Z

Okay these were about to get lost behind a good 7 pages of photos on my pb, so here is the smallest art post ever. I just didn't want to forget about them.

This one was actually from last night. Done right before I went to fag up iscribble, but none of those were worth saving. Still kind of happy I drew something last night even though they all looked like ass.

DAY TWO

2009-08-10T07:06:05Z

These are photos from TODAY. :E Oh and Caskin, I guess you're right about it being a mojave xD. The faded eyestripes just throw me off!

I very nearly took this girl home ;^;. Sooooo gorgeous. So yellow and tiny as heck. This photo does her no justice, but maybe that's because I was drooling over her for like an HOUR and holding her for a good amount of time. I was sooo close to snagging her, and if I have regrets about not doing so later I took the guy's card...

This boa was two shades of white, but my camera said YELLOW. Have to remember the lighting at a reptile show isn't really the best.

This lizard kept making my camera cry :(. It was so bright that it just couldn't take it! Needed shades to look at this lizard. Finally got a half decent shot of it after many failures.

This girl was soft as baby skin.

For Skulldog :). Could have really used a tripod for this x___x.

I love these cooornnns.

I wish I wish I wish the plastic wasn't scuffed. With more effort I could clean that up, but ... lol

Chomping on a fish.

You know what. I shot the turtles in RAW to test it out, and I couldn't preview them and they took forever to open up in PS. Therefore I randomly opened two up and worked with them :|. I do not know if these last two are actually the best, BUT TOO BAD FOR ME. I will learn more about it later.

DAY ONE

2009-08-10T01:59:01Z

These photos were taken yesterday at the San Jose reptile show. I'm having fun with Caskin, Senaru, and Thalron :].

Awwwriiight. I spent forever in the front yard taking pictures of Al and Ambellina on different flowers lololol.

People stopped me and were like "OMG IS THAT A REAL SNAKE OOOO:??" And everyone was really cool about it, asked me their names, wanted to touch them (and were so surprised at how soft they are), etc. It was relieving. I've been avoiding the front yard because I've been afraid of people thinking CREEPY SNAKE PEOPLE LIVE THERE, but that wasn't the response I got :D.

Request for Skysealerrrr under the cut.

Came out more blue/purple than magenta. @^@; I could have layered some of my brighter pinks and purples to get the right color, but this didn't strike me until it was too late. With the base being so dark the blue shading didn't do a great job of showing up, and it didn't look to have depth so I had to... highlight with white ;;. Markers only multiply and I forgot that until it was too laaate. But I will keep it in mind for the future, and hopefully future marker attempts will be without white abuse and be more accurately colored. LAYERING. MUST LEARN IT. I really hate having to resort to the white gel pen fff.

(Any marker tips are totally welcome.)

2009-07-28T07:28:00Z

6 drawings

Done in OC with Moro and Taterrrr. Yay.

I figured out what I was not liking about Tikall's striiipes. It appears I FORGOT HOW TO DRAW THEM. So I looked back to older pics of him and did a big D'OH. Recently I've been drawing the dark color as the stripes, when the stripes really are the light color. And they don't extend so far. I am suddenly happy with them again. And I'm drawing them how I was in the first place. What is wrong with me lol.

I changed a couple other things too, but whateverrr. In my fiddling I realized dark brown hair looked better than red on him, so there you go.

Drawing Rangirae and Mato as fat cats made me feel better.

better photos

2009-07-23T01:15:24Z

Al turned out way dull in the last photo shoot, and it depressed me :C. I thought it looked semi accurate till later and he started to look ugly in them :S. I had to go pull Al out to make sure he didn't mysteriously turn unfab! Thank goodness it was just the pics- he's still pretty ;u;. And today the light outside was better and I think for once I actually got his colors right :D. I took them all with the 100mm lens and I think that helped, too.

Ambellina also shed today so I snapped some shots of her!

TONGUE SHOT ;D

This photo is hot in some areas, but it just might be one of my favorites.

These next two are the most accurate I've ever gotten color-wise. I'm so happy ;;.

I love this one.

Onto Ambyyybeb!

This one looks like she's daydreaming. c':

I love how shiny she is *-*.

I wish so badly the tongue was in focus.

If you look closely you can see the skin under the ridge of the belly scales!!

2009-07-19T21:27:39Z

Photos and one drawing.

IIIII totally missed the focus on this one, but the feathers still look cool XD. His nails probably need to be clipped >_____>;.

And because I know you're all CRAZY about pillows:

Took Al outside and HNNNGGGGG the 18-55mm lens actually seems to have a different, unnatural tint to it so I had to do some PS correcting :S.

Back to the 100mm lens :V

bawwwwwww~

reefcentral has been down for a couple days. having WITHDRAWLS

2009-07-16T05:49:58Z

1 photo and 4 very very quick doodles.

I have found that taking photos through water and a bowed viewing panel is still MUCH harder than taking them of the snakes. Like jeez. I also need better lighting on the tank that I could just turn on when taking photos I think... The hood can actually hold 6 bulbs, and I only have 2 right now because otherwise it gets too hot if I'm not running a chiller. If I just have them on during photo shoots though that would be totally fine. c:

I like how it got his textuuure at least, even if I'm not fond of anything else lol.

Changed his nose derp. Been debating this over for the last year, and maybe you've noticed I've done it a few times just to see how it looks, but now I'm making it part of the design. More reptiley o yah. It takes me 100 years to make little changes I know.

lolololol

I was trying to see how his markings look from the side, but then I also drew him talking. I threw someone in there for him to talk to.

Trying to see what the markings look like in the front and I am not quite happy?? I can't... figure out what to do about this yet.

first go with the xti

2009-07-14T21:27:23Z

Goooddd this camera is hot. I just took my first 6 shots with it, and these are two I thought were worth saving. c:

Also Ruby is a DUDE D:>!! I had him on the white paper and found sperm plugs on it afterward. WTF? I feel so lied to :|.

I need to do my philosophy final

2009-06-26T06:19:56Z

A couple drawings from an OC with Moro tonight.

Nice spots, faggot :V!

SO TUFF ahahahahaaaaa.

My last final is due tomorrow! It's take home, so it's half done!

I also have a second interview with Petsmart tomorrow. /crosses fingers

Also, what is this I see!? The end to my commission list?! :D Only 5 more to go! But with my luck I'll get more people wanting them as I post them, which has been happening >___>. I can't refuse commissions unless I get a job with more hours, and I can't draw any time consuming personal art while I have cute commissions to do! Oh Petsmart, please save me~. (Please no one take this as being ungrateful for all the commissions because seriously it's awesome and I couldn't appreciate it more. I'm just itching to work with traditional media soon is all.)

2009-06-24T06:34:19Z

Some arrrt. Six of them~. One thing is mildly nsfw, but again nothing is showing so??? But it's such a bad picture it might be offensive anyway TOHOHO~.

Oh and one is a gay wip which I'd appreciate crits on.

Personally I TOTALLY HATE this kind of soft shading, but I did it for this pic anyway?!

The wip. I still need to add in Cirlyro, but I don't know what she'd wear AS A PIRATE. You know how animes have generic falling openings or whatever? I FIGURED MORO AND I NEEDED ONE. Crits/red lines would be A+.

Derpy animation. c:

Lazy colored version of a sketch I posted a while ago.

GAAASPPPPPP.

Some drawinggggs.

This picture just has some serious issues going on. You'd think by now I'd be able to draw a snake with legs, but you'd be wrong.

Hawww haw

Art history class is inspiring.

Kinda like this one, but I don't know what I was doing.

Funky faces :\

Hell yessss. Yeah yeah because Moro and I are both dying for more One Piece we're making a fun little side story where WE'RE PIRATES~ so this is an enemy I made for us YEEAAHHH.

lukfox @ 2009-06-06T15:45:00

2009-06-06T22:50:31Z

Some very quick, doodley drawingggsss.

Technically wouldn't be alive at this point BUT FOR THE PICTURE...! Feel like I should have tried a tad bit harder on this.

I colored this one differently... Was very interesting.

This one started as Sahn and turned into something else 6__9.

Kind of a revisit to the way I did "I've Sent You Love Letters," just to see if my lazy drawing has improved. I like this one more in coloring and stuff, but I do like the inclusion of the hands and mood in the other one :P. This one is more of a very simple portrait than the other, but that's okay.
