‘Its-Been-Awhile’ Art Stream

For months I’ve been struggling with my livestream software and wifi issues. I can’t guarantee a clear stream but I’m pretty sure I’ve solved the problem…

I’ll be streaming on Twitch at 2pm EST.

A casual stream and might take a few sketch requests from whoever decides to join.

For a few weeks now, I’ve been dealing with severe art-block, so hopefully this little casual session might spark some energy back into my creative drive. It happens to all of us artists, and we need to listen to our bodies and rest.

But I’m hoping this little stream will work. Join me if you like!

Oh and real quick, I’ll be reviewing a CSP samurai armor brush set first and then doing sketches.

And if the topic changes to tips for using CSP I’ll be open for questions about that too

How far they’ve come in 2 years!! I didn’t really have a plan for either in the very beginning, so they look like very blank canvases. But now…now they feel like real people! Amazing! I am so emotional over this. Thanks for the support and interest in my original scifi story concept!

Exactly 2 years ago, these two space boys appeared from my imagination!

To commemorate this anniversary, I thought it would be neat to do a re-draw of my characters in the same format at those first designs, to see how far they and I have come!

This is probably the closest I’ve ever gotten to a ‘final look’ for Raas and Owen. Hopefully it’s a sign of good things to come, as I continue to work on this story idea.

Had the urge to do some animal studies.

Experimenting… I learned some helpful techniques from this awesome light and color tutorial and tested it out with my alien OC Raas. Still planning to dive into this sci-fi comic project this year…hopefully!!!
