Art update! October 2012 - Present

Oh, hey poor little art blog. I'm sorry I've neglected you...

In fact, I've neglected ART and any sort of drawing lately in general.... Whatever I do is usually a quick sketch on my tablet, a lovely Samsung Tab Galaxy Tab 10.1 that my younger so graciously gave to me for Xmas... or I take a terrible photo of a drawing and put an ugly instagram filter on it. I don't know when I'll every have the time again, I'm guessing not until the end of the year (no, honestly, I am THAT busy and my schedule is BOOKED) but I'd like to revamp this blog so it's easier on the eyes and it's more fun to read. Hopefully that will make me more willing to update it as well...ANYWAYS. So here is what I've been up to (art wise)!
Quicky sketch. Wow, it's been a while since I've sat at a computer and drawn something like this...11-11-12.

Every now and then I'll pick up my sketchbook and inking pens and come up with something nice. I dropped my nice phone and broke it so I had to buy a used one and the camera lens is scratches, so I started to intentionally take pictures at strange angles and putting filters on them to look grungy. Kind of works, I guess.11-20-12.

Ah, yes. My first experience with the 10.1. This was at a Best Buy. I fell in love instantly. The guys working there insisted I draw things over and over again because they didn't believe I did the drawing so quickly. I recorded it and saved it for others to watch in the future.
12-12-2012.

My first tablet sketch!12-27-12.
This was slightly totally inspired by one of my badass teammates...

Tablet sketches. 1-1-13



Tablet sketches. 1-3-13.

Gender bending the Hero of Time. I intended for this to go into an art show and abandoned it...
1-9-13.
Tablet sketch 2-13-13.


I designed our Save the Date cards as postcards. They turned out pretty cute, I think! Notice the date change from the first design...Lol. That was just the first of the many hiccups we've come across since planning this wedding. 
3-6-13.
8-bit Heart painted on glass. What a terrible idea! I hate painting, and this wasn't the most fun project I've given myself. This was in my very first art show, Oh My Glob! at War'Hous Visual Studios in Houston on March 30th. Even though it was awful to paint, I'm so happy that it actually sold at the show!! 3-13-13.

Juliet from Lollipop Chainsaw. Purposely taken at this odd angle so you can't tell how badly I messed up her anatomy lol. 3-16-13.
Adventure Time art! Also in the Oh My Glob! show. I drew this 3-16-13.
I didn't take pictures of the other pieces, but these are the ones that were in the show. The heart and the middle picture both sold. :] Ego boost! People like my art enough to buy it!

Tablet sketch 3-17-13. I drew this while we took a random trip to Austin. Oh, have I mentioned I'm getting married this year??!


Testing out Autodesk Ink on my tablet. I like the inking brushes a LOT, but most of the other features, like transforming/re-sizing is more convenient and easier in sketchbook Pro. Maybe I just need to play with it more.


Sketches done on my tablet. 4-7-13.

There you go! Hopefully I won't go another 6 months before I decide to update on all my little sketches and stuff.

A small tribute to our lovely Rec League girls.

This is for my dad's Chili Cook Off Team. Haha.

Art dump.

Hey, so I designed my team's championship shirt this year!
8/25/12. Yes, it is supposed to look like the Slayer logo... We even played Raining Blood during our intro. We won, btw. :) Undefeated this season. Not a bad roller derby rookie season.
SO on to the next drawing that I meant to have done by the Brawlers fundraiser... (I only missed it by a couple of months)
9/23/12. I finally finished!
Now the rest of the updates are terrible pics, usually instagram'd, of my art because I don't have a scanner.
9/20/12
9/26/12. I printed and framed a bunch of art for a fundraiser. I like how all my drawings face the same way. Woops.
9/30/12. What!? Colored with prisma markers! 
 9/30/12. Quick doodle. Took about an hour or so.
9/30/12. Doodled this at practice... I ran a triathlon this morning and am achey so I didn't skate.
That's all for now.

Textures...My way of making something look more finished than it is.

I started this a year ago and just got around to finishing...Oops!

I've been slacking on that Monster Girl Challenge... WIP, will color one day.

Doodled this in my sketchbook. 

Oh, I just realized all these drawings are facing the same way.

Brawler drawring

I haven't done something this detailed in a while. Ouch, my hand.

woops, here's an art dump.

First off, sorry I haven't updated in so long!! Also, I don't have a scanner so I don't have the best quality of my traditional work. Anyways, this is what I've been up to the past couple months (work/derby/drill/life/working out keeps me really busy).

So HRD was at Comicpalooza this year! I got to design 2 of our shirts that we were going to use for comic book themed teams.
Inked.
Vector.
Sketch/ink.
Inked.

Vectors of the Super Girl shirt design. We didn't actually use this since we didn't have enough skaters to field a 4th team.

5/24/12 - I make photobooks for clients at work and I got to draw out the cover art! :) Pretty neat. There's a couple of small problems (like the lines going through the face) which was an accident... gave my boss the files and the layers didn't lay quite right. It's going to be a sample book anyway, so it works out.

5/25/12 - Birthday present for one of my teammates.
