Some Artwork

It's been awhile since I've posted, as I've been approaching the end of my term, and my writing time has been consumed with papers, studying and various other studious activities. Some of my work involves listening, though, and while I cannot write while listening, I most certainly can draw. Here is the result:

"Le Voyage dans la luna"
based on A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès

"Tripods"

"Self Portrait"

I've been playing around with a few different programs to create the above, namely Manga Studio Debut and Autodesk Sketchbook. I did start the third one by tracing an image, by the way, I'm rubbish otherwise at creating faces that look like the person I'm trying to draw. 

Hope this tides you over till I can return to writing. Cheers!

Art: Nova Corps/Green Lantern Crossover

It's been awhile since I've posted any art up here, so it seemed about time. A friend of mine has been having me read Marvel Cosmic's Annihilation Event, which features the Nova Corps. Nova Corps is kind of like DC Comic's Green Lantern Corps, and so I was inspired to draw this crossover picture. I started with images of Green Lantern and Nova which I traced, modified a little, and colored.

Art: Steampunk Gentleman

Art: Shopping Some Aliens

So, over the weekend I decided to dust of the old Photoshop and do my interpretation of what Tali'Zorah from the Mass Effect universe would look like with her mask off. Most interpretations I've seen of her have looked like Night Elves from World of Warcraft, and I wasn't happy with them.

First, this is Tali as she appears in the game:

Then, here is my interpretations of her. I initially made the versions of her with the hood up and the hood down with hair, but a lot of people haven't liked the hood down one, so I also made the third without hair by removing the hair layer.

In order to make the image, I took photographs from 4 different faces (including Liz Sroka, the voice actress for Tali) and combined them together. I then did some liquification (mainly to the ear), and finally used baboon cheeks and polar bear fur to add on the blue patches and hair.
