Redheaded Experiment
I have no idea why I didn’t post this last month… probably busy buying presents and packing I suppose. Oh well, then here’s the little Gimp Painter experimentation that ended up more of a speed paint sorta thing. I used these patterns with the mixbrush to get some of the really nifty things going on. It was fun, but also a good example on the whole paintings are never finished just abandoned thing. Definitely need to get some more textures to play around with.
… and Happy New Year to eveyone stopping by this blog. 2012 seems good so far, so it better stay that way.

-048- Artslam wips
Yup that’s right, I’m doing artslam this year as well. Theme for this month is surroundings, for my part. I won’t bother posting everything I do here… cause it’s all about learning and there are some crash and burns in the mix. However here’s two wips, that will get more work done on them in a bit;)
This was an attempt on making a bog like surrounding, but at the moment it looks more like a little forest clearing. I’m working on getting things right. Floating trees are floating, I know. Oooops.
Here however is something that’s supposed to be floating in the air:
Floating troll islands:D I had a lot of fun coming up with this, and will probably have a lot more fun expanding this as well.

-045- Jesper
I was in a video call with my friend when I noticed he was sitting still enough for me to draw him, so I fire up ArtRage and start to sketch him. What was intended to just be a quick little sketch ended up taking a lot longer… I told him I was sketching him and he critiqued it as it progressed (Skype and that nifty little share desktop thingy,though it makes my machine way too slow to draw with while in use). It took ages getting his nose right. In hindsight I should have drawn this bigger, it would probably be much easier to get it right faster that way.
Happy new year by the way, even if we’re already well into February. XD

-044- Reach
More from my experimentation with ArtRage…this little guy coming out of the waves, tentatively reaching out for something a bit more solid than himself.
I’m having a ball trying out all the different stuff, but next time I’m gonna go a bit easier on the paint tubeXD Too much paint on the canvas and I had merged all the layers when I found out it wasn’t working… lead to cursing and meeps and careful, careful editing.

-042- Discovery
I just had a eureka moment. A couple of days ago I was looking through in my deviantart gallery, and musing about how my digital work is so much worse than my traditional stuff. So yesterday goes my brain: “Hmmm, well all this is rather blurry. What to do, what to do. AHA! I shall go fiddle around in gimp with it.” A few settings tweaks later and I go from this…
…to that. Holy crap what a difference. Now my brain is really revving up, chattering at me a million miles per hour about what to try out next. Time to jot down ideas, hit the books, and paint til I drop. Amongst other things it would be fun to make a new version of that painting.

-040- What Became of Mushroom 3
Artrage + gimp for the background. I suspect I’d be able to do the same in Artrage with a bit more knowledge about stickers. Better soak up some tutorials and see.

-036- Frost Blow
I couldn’t fall asleep yesterday, so instead of wasting time staring at the ceiling I got up and did some doodling. Happy to report I see some progress in my work:D
-034- Mushroom 3 wip
I’ve been working on and off on coloring the doodle from day three of the mushroom week, and thought I’d let you all get a sneak peak on how it’s coming along. Far from finished yet.

-032- Sock Week: Day 6 and 7
My internet connection went down yesterday, hence I didn’t get to update..but here it is now:
The king is mighty pleased by the news, oh yes he is.
Another sketch quickly colored in openCanvas. I actually did a small acrylic version of it first, but unfortunately I messed it up. Note to self, need to figure out how to make my own half tones for oC…

-030- Sock Week: Day 2, 3 and 4
I don’t care what the calendar says, I haven’t gone to bed yet so it’s still Thursday. So there. Previous days I did do the drawing, I just didn’t do the posting… shame on me. Three doodles/sketches from me today then.
Tuesday’s doodle… not much to say about it.
Ah, the love between a boy and his sock puppet. The product of yesterday’s scribbling.
…
I just had too
… *chuckle*
A quick doodle I slapped some color on in openCanvas. She may not be on top of her beauty, but I assure you she’s lots of fun.

-028- Mushroom Week: Day 7
Last doodle for mushroom week, one day late… bugger. Should’ve accounted for major holiday and family unexpectedly turning up, just like they tend to do. It’s been a good week though, and I’m looking forward to do more themed weeks in the future. Next one coming up in not too long, just gotta turn some of the sketches from this week into finished work first. *grins*

-017- Sketch dump
A sketch dump, or maybe I should call it a doodle dump? Just showing off some of what I’ve been doing while I wasn’t posting. Mostly traditional, but what do you know.. there’s been sneaking some ArtRage in as well.

I did some Potter geeking last week, well not a whole lot cuz it’s only a broom… kind of a faded, stained news paper ad for the first Cleansweep. Oh, and it’s made testing out ArtRage 3′s new features. Damn sweet program, makes me weak in my knees.
Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling.
