Off the point

My internet connection was down for three days. I'm still recovering.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I love The Soundtrack of Our Lives. Go listen.

Discovery

I haven't done Illustration Friday for months. Here goes.

Under construction

Exposure, yay!

I got accepted for the latest issue of Ideafixa-magazine. I'm really happy about it, I'm hoping it'll get me moving again with my drawing and everything. Seems like nothing's happening right now, maybe it's because everybody's on holiday. Another excuse to just lay on the bed all day and read Harry Potter, as if I need a new one..


Here are the images I sent to the magazine. The second one is a different version than in the magazine, I seem to have a zillion versions of it allready. There's just something that I can't get just right, it's making me crazy! Maybe I'll try relaxing a bit.

Evolution

I tried to make the image in my last post more character designy, so I drew the same character twice more doing different kinds of stuff (it's got a little storyline too, but that's not so relevant). It's still not technically very good character design I think, but I wanted this piece to have merit as an individual piece of art too, so it's a fair compromise between the two (I'm not usually a fan of compromise, but now I actually like it better than the original!).

Something something

Vektorika magazine's topic for the next issue is character design, and I thought I'd submit a couple of images. I don't know what they're expecting really, I'm not even 100% sure what character design is. Characters, right? This is something I'm working on. Right now it looks like I don't know what I'm doing, and that's not far from the truth. I'm trying to develope my visual language for vectors (I haven't done anything purely in vector for ages), and I'm kind of starting to like the mess that's going on there. And I'm really happy with the colours. That's something.
