Turning Back Time

I now bring to you SRZ Life Issues! I've always wanted to go to art school and study fine art. It's the equivalent of wanting to live in a hugeass mansion, only better. The biggest issue that stands in my way is my job. I swear, if the people I work with are all certified a**h***s, I would tender my resignation right away and head for it. However, that's not the case. I've found home working in my current company. Even if I am about to collapse from doing infinite rounds of amendments on a design, I am kept alive and laughing thanks to all the wonderful people I work alongside with. Plus, it all pays off with money and toys. I had once worked in a company where I, as well as other employees before me, were treated like trash. It was a very short employment, but up till now, I have not forgotten how much it hurt. The odds of landing in a company like that are probably one in a hundred, but I'm not willing to go through any of that again. That is why I cannot just easily give up my current job to study in a field that is so questionable. Perhaps, I would go for a diploma next year. This year, I'll be applying for a short night course in painting. That's all I can afford for now. Design school had been painfully expensive, it's best that I earn back a little more to cover for that before I attempt to pursue a proper education in Fine Arts.

It's gray!

A lil something for Cessy in the works.


I have a new tablet stationed at the office now, thanks to my awesome bosses! :D
Hopefully, this will end the reign of laziness to attach Dexter everytime I come back home. XD

Revived!

Oh boy, it's been a long while.

I've got a job now, so it's pretty hard to draw anything. So at the moment I can only do really quick random stuff to practice and maintain my skills.

Really messy portrait of Allison Harvard from one of her photos.

Not a very good job for an eyeballed, eyedropped copy, plus it does resembles BG2's Imoen doesn't it? XD

Ras returns!

Doing more stuff for Juano.

Lacking

My sloppy looking portrait of Volken(Tatakau Shisho) in the works.



I wonder if I'll ever continue this. I've a history of neglecting fanart pieces.
It's not turning out really well, I still have the blur curse thing, but if I get through this, I'll work on the other characters.

Faces are hard.

There's nothing easy about art, whether one likes it or not. When you get unwanted results, it's a horrible losing feeling, but some choose to not give up that easily.


This is what I'm working on at the moment. By the time I finished linearting the face, I started to hate it. It wasn't the "look" I desired, and it reminded me of the stuff I did for some kid's magazine. Drawing scary wide-eyed happy faces after wide-eyed happy faces, under judgement and scrutiny, is not exactly fun lol XD.
Changes are not that obvious, but you might see how I made the irises more spherical. I'm not very fond of oval anime eyes unless the character happens to be the "HAI HAPPY DESU" sort.


This is something less recent which I take my time to work on. The face went through a hell lot of different stages. I remembered it was that very week that I created the 6th face, was happy with it, and then my motherboard died. Man... glad I got it back, though it left me really broke. I'm still thinking of altering the face, as it somewhat resembles... someone with loads of money.

The past few days seemed to have given me a lil extra energy for my artsy endeavors. But, hey, we all know it comes down to discipline don't we? XD
