Digi Sketches

I definitely need to step it up on my posting here. I look at the last post and think about how it seems like ancient history already.

Like always, I've been spending my time doing sketches, playing with different media and pretty much working willy dilly on whatever comes across my brain.  Now that I think about it, I should really look at starting back up with working on serious, finished projects seeing as how I still have none to share.

I do, however, have some more sketches to show. I've been toying with my wacom tablet lately, using some brush settings inspired by Daarken (whom I'm sure a lot of people know from Magic: The Gathering.) It surprised me how just a couple changes to how I was approaching my digital work improved the end product immensly.

An Odd Group

The zombie was my first attempt at actually sketching with the tablet.  Up to this point I'd been scanning sketches from paper and painting over those.  The succubus is my first attempt at (mis)using reference while sketching on the tablet.  The cyclops is me working out some flesh colors for another project that I'm working on.  I'll have to do a post on that project later.  Finally, the alien....well...he's...he is what he is.

More coming soon.
