The Second Coming:The Beginning Of The End

Not really an art post but more a personal one. My 8 day visit to see my boyfriend is coming to a close. I leave tomorrow night which sucks but that's part of being in a long distance relationship. The sooner I get back to Florida the sooner I can get back to finding a job and save to move up with/near him instead of messing with flying back and forth.

In ART related news, thanks to my boyfriend, I'm going to be installing Adobe Flash, InDesign and upgrading Photoshop CS3 to CS4. Not really necessities but they'll be nice to have. I just installed Lightroom 2 so I should be set with Adobe stuff for now: Ps, Ai, Id, Fl CS4 and Lr2.

Commissions will be coming up soon I promise, after the current batch I've got quite a few to post on here.

H814//The Second Coming!


SO YEAH, It's totally not obvious I'm a fan of Mark Riddick.

Anyways yeah, just a shirt design I threw together in photoshop. I've been wanting to do my own clothing company for some time, I'm not sure where to begin or what to do other than make designs until I know what else to do, so here's where I'm starting. The name H814 Clothing (HATE ONE FOUR if you didn't get that adurrrrrr) is basically a mixture of me respecting my roots and pretending I'm a clever badass. 814 is my hometown's area code and I just threw the H on there to be cool. :V



Anyways that crap aside check it. 24 hours from now, I'll have been through all the airport shit and I'll be with my boyfriend! After 5 months of not seeing him you can only imagine how pumped I am to see him. :)

WE'RE MOVING FORWARD


So I've been letting DIDY stagnate a bit, about time I post again. I haven't got much to post that I really feel like posting. I think I'll post a WIP of the above wallpaper soon but yeah. I've been working on my anatomy and hopefully will be buying "Anatomy For The Artist" to help me stop sucking at figures and you know, ANATOMY. I might post the resulting sketches. Anyways yeah. Just an "I'M NOT DEAD GUYS" kinda post.

In other news in a few days (monday the 20th to be exact) I'll be leaving FL for 8 days to see my boyfriend who somehow manages to be the inspiration for a good part of the crap I post on here, or at least my FA.

Awwwww just look at that face.

PILOT SEQUENCE

So I've been inspired mostly due to Attack Attack!, DJ Hydroice and Renard to make some TECHNO. YEAH, TECHNO. Don't be alarmed though! I already made album art even though I have yet to make songs and I made sure there was plenty of deathcore in it. Techno or not it's not my style to have anything else. And yes I know there's already the band "Bodies In The Gears Of The Apparatus" but I just randomly thought of this and it sounded like a badass name for a techno project so whatever.



Towards the end I was like whoa... this doesn't really look like furry techno at all. So I added bloody paw prints on the skull and in the background haha, I really didn't know what to do to add that extra furry element to it. Hopefully this will be a reminder to finish a progect for once though I doubt it. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with Fruity Loops and Z3ta+...

A Knight In Shining Amore WIP

My boyfriend has almost always been the only thing on my mind but more so now than ever before. He's really the only thing I can think about lately. So here we have more Storm+Edge art with a Conditions title.


LINES.

COLORS.
For this I tried experimenting with a painting style similar to Taoren's paint-on-the-same-layer-as-your-lines style though I didn't realize until I was done I made the lines too thin and it really didn't work. Fortunately I knew I'd probably mess it up so I made a second line layer on top of the first before I started painting. Good thing I did. When I switched the topmost line layer off I had brushed most of the facial details away haha. This is only 600x1005 px so I guess I can't be surprised everything kind of blended together at such a small size but whatever. I covered my tracks that time.

BACKGROUND.
I dunno why I've been using teal so much lately, it's just a nice tranquil color. It's probably my favorite color right now.

TEXTURE AND LIGHT.
Once again I've used the whispy light and such in this. I'm not really sure. The first time I did it in the original Illuminati I was just doing it because it looked cool, now I think I'm doing it to symbolize our hearts/spirits/etc, not really sure but whatever I do it for it looks cool.

TEXT
I decided to make matching badges out of this for us to wear to whatever our first con together is. Obviously as is it's just one badge but it'll be cut in half once I print it and then you put them together to make the complete picture. Cute I guess or whatever. For those of you wondering the font I used is Aristotle Punk, you can get it for free from dafont.com.

For my boyfriend, as is everything I do.

Goodbye Good Name






Just some more conditions/depression inspired art. Boy I just am not the happy camper lately am I?
