Hey y'all! It's art and stuff.
So…I just started another blog. I’m a little apprehensive about it; it’s an ask blog, and those are a little more labor intensive than just general art tumblrs where I just post whatever the hell I want. Not sure if I’m more worried no one will pay it any mind, or people will actually like it and I’ll die trying to keep it going. I think I’d prefer the second one, though.
Asks and submissions are open. Have at it!
Working on Gia a bit more, trying to combine elements of the previous sketches. I have a good feeling about her now, but she’s still very much a WIP.
And who’s that other chick? That’s Shairi, the most awesome zebra you’re gonna meet. (Admittedly, there might be cooler zebras, but what do I know, I just draw funny stuff.) She’ll definitely be a bit of a departure from what you think of canonical zebras–whatever that is, since we’ve only met one–though she’ll still have a knack for poetry, in one form or another.
What do y’all think so far?
Yet another catbird sketch. After some thought (and losing all my progress last night when my power went out during a thunderstorm), I realized I wasn’t really happy with the way Gia was turning out. Honestly, she looks too much like Gilda, even when I made a concentrated effort to make sure that didn’t happen. Gilda is “default griffon,” it seems. Very easy to fall back on her.
So how about this design? I’ve always thought owls are majestic, fearsome creatures. Highly intelligent and expressive, too. This sketch is based on the Great Horned Owl, one of the largest and most recognizable species. Might do a bit of tweaking with it, but I like the new look so far.
I kept the freckles, though. I love freckles, in case that wasn’t obvious by now.
Moar catbird. Her name is officially Gia. She’s kind of rough around the edges (like most griffons), but she has a soft spot or two.
I wouldn’t suggest touching them though, you might not get your hand/hoof/claw back.
