Party Ready

There's no party right now but this one is definitely ready to party and that's all that you really need. All of the party supplies: The hat, the noise maker, the plates and matching napkins that are just out of frame.

I drew something sad while I was in a good mood so I decided to follow it up with something cheerful!

Sad Eyes

While I don't feel any sorrow at the moment it is a great subject. In order to better capture it I used the close view and a dull color scheme. I feel the eye shape and shading work well in that direction.

Little Fatty

I drew this with complete disregard for... well anything. Then I looked at it and saw it as a little fatty. That's actually a turn of phrase I associate with asian martial arts novels though. I considered adding some of those elements to it but decided against it because my mouse coincidentally died right then.

Floppy Legs

I wanted to do something with a bit more flow, but I feel like it really only showed up in the legs. I actually like those legs, but I don't think they match the rest of the picture.

Power Up

More sprite work. This chicken is powering up so he has a glowy blue aura. I decided he may as well also have a gold combed "super saiyan" version since I was doing it anyways.

Form

Someone in a chat was discussing using figure drawing to draw people so I naturally scribbled up this chicken. Um... The black is basically the chicken bone shape form I follow, but the fluffy feathery bits make is mostly irrelevant.

Blind Colors

It's blind because of the black circle eyes reminding me of those blackout glasses. I wanted to use gentle pastel colors instead of my usual bombastic ones.

Jumpsuit

What is this outfit? Is he a race car driver? Maybe a space man? It's hard to say. He's probably just a strange guy.

Evil Wizard Old and New

Just wanted to comment on the changes to my standards. The right represents my early work from 2009. It was actually a fair amount of effort to not overdo the left since I wanted it to be my standard not my high end.

Mindful Meditation

Be sure to practice mindful meditation every day.

I don't actually know what those words mean. Let me look that up.

Formal mindfulness, or meditation, is the practice of sustaining attention on body, breath or sensations, or whatever arises in each moment. Informal mindfulness is the application of mindful attention in everyday life.
