Redos and new work

I don't have any new photos to post, only words, nyan.

We had a crit where the seniors talked about our work. They liked how it looked, as far as the zodiac.. but they didn't translate it the way I did. u.u~ All of the suggestions they gave doesn't even allow me to tweak what I have so far, like for other people's work - I have to outright redo the whole pieces... which I did, starting from the reference photos. I honestly don't want to do digital, but due to constraint of time (I only have about... what, 2 weeks to get 3 paintings done, not including my other final?)

Then I have this one colored pencil piece that's huge that I need to do (19 x 25).. I have the thumb roughed and printed out - now I just need to go back to the school and enlarge to 11x17 so that I can refine the sketch by hand, then enlarge even more to final size once approved by the teacher tomorrow, in life drawing.

I'm working on redoing my website. I already have it coded up and everything - just needing to add content and whatnot. Oh man... I didn't realize it until I compared this new layout to the old - it's so freaking dark, the old design. x.x I never realized it either, until now. Also came up with a new logo for the site - maybe I can use it for my senior year...

Remember that 100TC?

Yeah, I did get started, somewhat. I like to do examples for commissions consisting of my own characters, now and then - but I technically should have done some of anthros, since that's the type of genre the website is, that the commissions are being marketed towards. Yeah. They'll all be 3/4 to full body sketches, planning to spend no more than 10-20 minutes on each.

Man, getting home was torture... I'm unfortunately running on only a few hours of sleep spread among two days.

Anyway, here's progress of my sketch/drawing for one out of three of my junior thesis pieces.

A reminder!

I think I'm gonna attempt this on the two art sites that I frequent - because I plan them to be quick attempts at spot illustrations, I'll make them fairly cheap, no more than a hour's worth of work. You might have heard of it, especially if you were into the anime-drawing scene online in the late 90's and early 2000's. The 100 theme challenge? Well, some people have actually made variations on it since then, and it's pretty damn neat. /goes back to homework! I have things to do before my flight later today!

/Edits on 4/16. I've gotten started on these with my own examples - I'll be crossing off those that I've completed, and will link to them on my blog in small batches.

A break (sort of)

I took a weekend to head back to Texas. I'll be heading back to Philadelphia on Monday afternoon... Now that I had today to spend 7 hours or so in some form or fashion a plane or airport, and the remainder of the day to connect with my parents and pets, getting back down to my work tomorrow. Expect some scans and concepts on Monday, of my Junior Thesis.
