2009 is so last year, time for a new blog.

Considering I'm making Edge|Destroys my little name brand thing or whatever you'd call it, I figured it was time to give the blogspot a tiny revamp. New banner, new URL, same art.

If for WHATEVER REASON you have this bookmarked I suggest you change the bookmark to the new url, obviously edgedestroys.blogspot.com.

Rest in peace DIDY, you were cool, ...actually you still are. Hmmmmm. Nah, I'll stick with E|D.

Skin Deep, Fur Deep, BIG DIFF.

Getting close to having my minimum of 15 shirts designed before throwing my ad up on FA. I'm a bit tapped on ideas but today was a good day! I managed to finally get my "wolf in sheep's fursuit" idea done in as little cliche/corny a manner possible. I finally got a shirt designed for my music project, Gears Of The Apparatus too, so over all I'm happy.

In other news, I'll be a very happy person if I never hear Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" again for the rest of my life.

I don't know if its from Mitchell Davis or what but lately I've had a fixation on designs based on 600 series polaroid photos. There's a new shirt design up with them and I'm doing polaroid based badges too. Speaking of shirts I'm going to finally be asking Dragoneer about getting on of my E|D banners up. I've got one design left in my head at least for now before my bank gets my money to my paypal and I note him about the banner. Unfortunately I'm falling short of the 15-20 designs I wanted to have up before the banner went up but I'll be sure to keep designing so long as art block doesn't get in my way.

SHAZAM

Man oh man I'm getting work done on something for once. Inside joke between my roommates and I (unrelated to the band) turned out to be one of the best ideas I've had in a while. It's not narcissism if I want to buy my own stuff is it?

Also, got a mini banner done too, just in case the WHOPPING 16 frames of the first one ends up being too many for FA to handle.

Check it out here.

Nine shirts made so far, we'll see what else I can pump out of my head. I've got a few ideas though I'm not sure I know how to properly make them happen yet. Hoping to have at least 15-20 shirts designed before I get my banners up.

In the event you haven't seen my redbubble account (no idea how you'd manage that, I'm tweeting about it like madness) check that out here.

EdgeDestroys Pt II

got a 2nd shirt design together and a banner too. not sure when I'll spare the money to have dragoneer throw it up but it's pretty bannon-esque and that means it's ballin. let's hope I don't run dry on shirt ideas...

check out the animated banner here.

REDBUBBLE//EDGE CLOTHING??

So how bout it? Furry clothes with class and sass yeah?

Today I'm launching a redbubble account, I'm gonna finally do some clothing design which is something I've been wanting to do for a while. A lot will obviously be inspired by the metal scene and a lot will obviously be furry but we'll see what all I pump out. Get excited.

Ion Dissonance WIP

The blogger always uploads pictures in an order that confuses me and I'm too lazy to fix it so just deal with it I guess. One of my favorite things I've drawn EVER, I actually showed a lot of improvement in anatomy and shading in this so I'm hella proud of it. Anyways the breakdown.

Check it, inks+lines. Right after this it's pretty obvious I just threw a watercolor brush in then set a splatter brush on the eraser and boosh, fancy background things. WHATEVS.

I thought it'd be pretty cool to show just the shading layer for some reason. I did this for the most part in Paint Tool Sai (like everything else) so the shading is done with the marker and pen tools.

Lines... Yup. They sure are.

The initial sketch from my sketchbook. I added some more pencil work to it later in regular .3 lead but I was too lazy to scan again. The scanner ATE this anyways.

Final piece. Most of this as I said is Sai, all I used photoshop for was the splattery brush crap in the back and adding the border/text/and my fancy new watermark.

That's all for today kiddos. Just posting to stem any fears that I might be dead. Or disappoint those hoping for it. :D
