Some fan art of Sheik’s Hyrule Warriors design from about a month ago! Made a process video of it, and uploaded it to YouTube:

It always kind of amazes me how much I enjoy video editing when it’s just for fun, and not for work/a job.

I’m making some hastily put together ref sheets for an art secret santa event, and finding it really fun to type out some of the character info. I’d like to make nice ref sheets for some of my characters, but who knows when I’ll have time to do that, so the actual ref images are taken from finished or mostly finished paintings, and some random or old drawings I have lying around, many which I haven’t posted to anywhere because they’re poor quality. But in terms of being useful as a reference, they’re are probably adequate. Or the best I have right now, in any case. Desperate times call for desperate measures, haha.

But it’s cool, because I mostly keep any written character info and character sketches separate (text document vs PSD file), and this is one of the few times where I’m seeing the text info alongside some images. How I’ve painted seems to have fluctuated a lot, and it’s kind of neat to be able to see that all in one reference sheet. It’s probably just interesting to me.

A crop of Spectros from a wip before linking some music videos for a new band I started listening to!

I recently remembered this sketch I did back in February (the sketch is below) that I meant to finish but had forgotten about until I remembered it while falling asleep last night. Thought it’d be fun to finish it now!

I don’t know why I’m too lazy to take progress jpegs of things haha, probably because it clutters things up in Bridge. Here’s a sloppily cropped wip of one:

Corveil and Hollis. Another unplanned drawing that I ended up rendering, so the full composition bothers me :(

Did this sketch earlier today, I think it was about 2-3 hours at the most? It started out Vale-like – I just really like this hairstyle – but I didn’t want another animal-eared image. So this is either an example of the kind of citizen who lives in Vice’s country, or even his sister.

I spent a lot of today and yesterday changing the layouts for this blog and my main site, which I hadn’t been planning, but it just happened on its own. It started when I wanted to simply change the layout for this blog, because I disliked how with the old layout, when you clicked through the archives it would show only the title of the posts for that month, and not the full post. That made it so there was no way to see the images without individually clicking each post title. Which is ridiculous. So after searching through too many themes I finally found this one I like, and that shows the images when you click on the archived month, so those links aren’t useless anymore.

Though I don’t know if that’s such a good thing, most of that old work is quite frightening haha.

When I was updating my art site, I was surprised how advanced CSS is now! And by that I mean, even just from a couple years ago. I added fading links and a hover attribute to the thumbnails so they get larger when you mouse over them. I remember you used to need a script to do that, now you can just use a few lines of CSS and it’s like magic. Amazing!
