End of 2012

Hello! It's been a while since I've uploaded, but I've been working on a lot! I ended up moving from Yokohama, Japan back to Houston, Texas (where I'm currently living) and stopped for 2 weeks in London on the way home. Before and after that time, I managed to gather my time to work on Christmas commissions and some inking exercises. Augie is the last painting I did in Japan and the rest have been drawn/ painted in the last 2 weeks I've been in America. I've been busy.

In other news, this might be my last post here. Please, please, PLEASE go to my Tumblr account and follow me here: http://kellyfscribbles.tumblr.com/

I WILL BE UPDATING MY TUMBLR OFTEN!!! I hope you all have brilliant New Year's parties and a beautiful and lovely 2013! Cheers!

Girl with a Gun

Finally spent some time this week and developed the sketch I uploaded months ago here. x. Since I am really passionate about going into the world of comics, I decided I would get the cliche, stereotypical image out of the way first: a hot girl with a gun. So I offer this up as my first attempt at digitally inking a background. It's not terrible, but it definitely needs work. I'm calling it a success for my first attempt, but I think I'm going to stick to ink and paper for the moment.

In other news, I am working on a final commission (unexpected) of another animal portrait I will be throwing up on here in a week (once I finish painting it). Afterwards, expect a lull as I will be moving internationally, visiting London for 2 weeks, and then trying to settle down into the chaos that is the Christmas season/ building up my life back in the States. :)

Firefall Fest Garrett

Decided to play around with the brush settings in Photoshop and try inking digitally in a very different way than I've done it before. As a massive Mega64 fan, I decided to use Garrett's character from their Firefall Fest stream as inspiration for experimenting with digital inking. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Instagram Sketches

Oh hey. I got an instagram account. I'm honestly surprised my terrible AU android can handle it. Here are some doodles from this past month from my journal taken with instagram. My name on there is wastedwings. Follow me?

Yokohama Train Sketches

2-5 minute sketches of sheer boredom while I'm stuck in transit on the trains in Yokohama. Typically on the Sotetsu Line.

Dr. Sketchy's Tokyo

I've attended Dr. Sketchy's Tokyo two times since I've been living in Japan. I recently went back last Wednesday and as I went to post the sketches up here, I realized I had never posted September's sketch session up here. So here are some figure drawing sketches. 2- 20 min. sketches.

Japan!

As you all know, I'm back in Japan. I'm here to stay until at least around April of 2012. Art has been on the back burner since I've been here as my job is an assistant language teacher. However, in my free time, I have been drawing. I don't own a scanner, but I finally had access to one today. Here are some of the things I've sketching. My brain is normally in a million places in one day so forgive the randomness of the subjects drawn. These were all drawn over the course of the past 3 weeks or so too. It's pretty much whenever I have my sketch book and have time to draw, I'm doing it. I'm hoping I can post here more frequently, but it really depends on how hectic things are. My job keeps me pretty busy and simple things like buying groceries takes me longer since I'm having to translate things from Japanese into English.

Nightcrawler Pin-up

Doing a series of comic book stuff. Just wanted to get my hand back into it. I grew up with X-men and Nightcrawler is my favorite character. Thinking about doing a Gambit/Rogue piece and maybe some DC characters (so I'm not doing just Marvel or just DC). If you have any suggestions let me know in the comments.

The inking was done traditionally and coloring and touch- ups were done in Photoshop CS4.
