Class Wizard Figure

For art class, we were supposed to take a model pose we've seen in class and make a classic fantasy style character based off of it. So I made this one. I basically drew the model as in the picture and added gambeson that I googled online to her along with a dragon. The dragon familiar is inspired by the Spiderwick Chronicles dragon. I used Spiderwick as a reference before when designing Bibbie. I think there's no other fantasy creature designs that feel like they fit in the real world instead of being goofy and that are based on the traditional myths and stories about fairy creatures instead of just being derivations of Tolkien's work.
I'm a big fan of realism in fantasy, even if you're adding elements like dragons. That's why I wanted gambeson. Realism also usually helps me break out of some genre conventions, making my work seem more original. Realism up until the point where it becomes less interesting than what else you could do. That's kind of how I think about it.
The dragon is the best part of the drawing. That's why I included a close-up picture. It probably looks so good because it was based off of another drawing (Spiderwick), so the image was already broken down for me. I'm getting much better at human proportions because of this class. I also think I got the line of action on this figure right.
God be with me. Help me to do what you want. I love you. Amen.

Spacewalker Character Turnaround

This is the character turnaround I did of Spacewalker for class. Or at least 3/5ths of it. My teacher had me color the other two, and I didn't like them as much. My skill with colored pencils at the time was poor. I like how this looks, at least. Despite the fact that I've been drawing my characters from a complete front or profile view for years, I actually don't have much of a problem picturing them from other angles. It's the drawing that perspective that I need more practice with. I still really like Spacewalker's design. Thanks God.
God's will be done.

1 Point Perspective

It's kind of a step down from the library picture, but here's my 1 Point Perspective that I did for the same class. It's actually a drawing of the hallway I was on this last year and that I will be on again this coming year. I like that I got the doors to look like they go into the walls. It's just a matter of putting enough lines there for the frame and everything. I ended up shading it for the final project, but I had this picture already, so I thought I'd put it here. My class said it looked great shaded, but I kind of like it not shaded. Ah well. I can always add the shaded picture to this post later.
God be with me.

Other Guide Story Doodles

 

I was going for a thumbnail/ink doodles kind of approach to getting out images from a scene with Other Guide. Remember Other Guide is the After Avenger I made up who comes from a bubble community controlled by symbiotes. So yes, that's a symbiote, but it's not Venom. Here, the symbiote is trying to convince him not to activate a bomb on the bubble, since they've both felt firsthand all the psychic backlash from outside. I did the classic superhero mask torn in the final confrontation thing. I think some of these look cool at least. 

God, you're my hero. Save us.

Spoiler and Robin

These are some doodles I did in class last semester of what I think a more realistic Spoiler and Red Robin from DC comics would look like. You may remember I drew them earlier and put it on here. Obviously, I like the Spoiler design better than the Red Robin design. I got the proportions right, and that one has a bit more depth too it. Spoiler is a teen vigilante, so I made what I thought a kid would come up with. I based Red Robin's gear more on the Dark Knight film and Nightwing: the Series, because of their more modern armored looks. I thought I'd put these pictures on here since I'm doing sort of a art to blog purge tonight.
God's will be done, always.

Eye Drawings

We learned how to draw eyes at the beginning of the semester, so I drew a few out in my notebook without using my shader. I like the top one a lot. I think it's also a good example of of how far I've come since my best eyes were a circle with a dot in them.
God is good, all the time. Lead me on. Amen.

More Sketchbook Animals

These are all more animal drawings I did for weekly sketchbook assignments in art class. I based them off of google pictures. I think the thing I'm most proud of is the subtractive drawing used to get brighter colors by shading the area and then going back with the kneaded and precision erasers. I have an otter picture I also wanted to put here, but I left it in my dorm room since I haven't gotten back in there after Spring Break (quarantine problems). Honestly, I'm just so happy to be home. This is how I used to do school, and I'd do it all the time if I could. Only a few days of school left, and then it will be summer.
Praise God always. Deliver us, God, from our worldwide distress.
