Simple Pic of Danny and Dexter, Danny wearing something with a bit more of a Chinese flare

今天是画画儿天，太好了！

A good day of field drawing and drawing on the walls of a cafe with fellow artists Zak and Pat. The Cafe wall drawings are not done yet and I’ve only got one more week left here in Nanjing D:!

Just felt like animating a little while my exams are on.

11. Pick your favorite mythological figure and create two designs for them: one that’s as historically accurate to their time period and culture as possible, and another that takes as many artistic liberties as you want (this could a modern AU, something in your typical style, etc.).

Figure: 嫦娥 “Chang’e” - Chinese Godess of the Moon

(Not my favourite but I still like the story and find her interesting … I also love all the old school images of “上海女人- Shanghai ladies” … sorry the pose is a bit awkward actually)

30-Day Character Design Challenge

10. Create a color palette based on the colors in your bedroom, then design a character from this palette. Bonus: don’t use the colors of your walls or floor in your palette.

9. Design a character inspired by this poem.

“I TOOK my power in my hand
And went against the world;
’T was not so much as David had,
But I was twice as bold.
 
I aimed my pebble, but myself
Was all the one that fell.
Was it Goliath was too large,
Or only I too small?“

30-Day Character Design Challenge

7. Design seven pairs of shoes. Bonus: for some of the pairs, make the left and right shoes different, but still recognizable as a pair.

5. Design ten unique hairstyles. Bonus: do a turnaround of each one.

(Uggghh I wish I had a scanner)

EDIT for better quality image

30-Day Character Design Challenge

30-Day Character Design Challenge

1. Put your iTunes library, favorite Spotify playlist, etc. on shuffle and design a character inspired by the first song that comes up. Bonus: do this with a playlist of music you’ve never listened to before. Extra bonus: use an instrumental-only song.

Song: 静默
Artist: 林海

Character: A child of human and harpy decent, living isolated in “the blue forest”

(Decided to do this little challenge to keep me drawing each day - also, sorry for the influx of sketchbook drawings, since I’m not at home I feel more comfortable drawing in my book then on my tablet … it’s odd :P)

我觉得我感冒了! “I think I’ve cuaght a cold!”

Again, sorry for being super slack. Here’s the next episode of 我中文不好 “My Chinese is not good”. Getting sick is no good, but getting sick in another country is even worse!

Sketches from the sketchbook

A commission for a friend. His kid was in this pose holding a toy car on a rope and I thought i’d spice it up a bit.

Episode 5 of my webcomic is now out! Sorry it has taken so long but I hope you enjoy it!

Starting a new sketch book.

Run Gal!

再见 我的朋友

My friend is heading back home, I hope she can return again and have an even better time in China!

More of little rat warrior. I need to actually use my sketchbook and not my schoolbooks for drawing
