Five colour fairy

A fairy
A friend challenged me to do a speed paint only using a colour palette chosen on Kuler. I've used the site before, but only for web designing purposes. I've never used it as a colour scheme, so it should be interesting.

I picked Lemon Meringue Pie in the Sky, because I thought the teals were befitting for a fairy. Why a fairy? Because that was also suggested to me.

Since the colours were limited, I did something new and made a new layer for each colour. Then I assembled all of them on top of one another. Wished I used more of the purple though, because that's what really gave the colour scheme its pop.


Made in openCanvas.

The last drawing of the summer

Two old OCs.
School starts again tomorrow (or today, really) and like all monumental events in my life, I like to mark it off with a drawing. I thought it was also only befitting that I revisit some neglected OCs with a medium I haven't used in a while. Of course that'd I know it's not much, but it's not like I have the time to complete a full blown CG in a couple of hours. Plus, just something about the feel of a pencil that can't beat a tablet pen.

Now, if I can direct you to the time stamp, you can see how I'm currently majorly screwing myself over right now. With that, I bid thee fair well.


Made with pencil on plain ol' printer paper.

I-Should-Have-Been-Taking-Notes 7.5: Art

Unlike my last post, where it consisted of things I found after I had uploaded my first three batches of doodles, I had this one ready to be scanned and uploaded for a long time. But I, being the lazy me I am, never got around to it. To prove how lazy I am, I still have a small pile of sketches I did back in July I have been meaning to upload for a while now, but probably will wait until the start of September to do so.

Anyways, I didn't upload the art I did in art because this actually contains some stuff that I'm proud of (of course, because it also includes things I did for school).  

Disclaimer: This doesn't have every art assignment I had completed for class as I never bothered to take them home (they wasn't a lot anyways, trust me). Thus, even though I have not much to show for it, and even though the class was ultimately an easy A, I did put some effort into getting that A.

Fanart for someone's character, except the term "fanart" implies that I'm a fan of said character, which I'm definitely not. She's basically a mary sue put in the Bleach world.
The concept work for my vegetable marching band picture.
Loosely based off a bird in a birdcage. It was supposed to be inked with actual pen nibs and liquid ink and such, but once I saw that it bled horribly when I used it with a ruler, I gave up.

Ugly self portrait. I prefer the portrait of my friend I drew using a phone picture as a reference. The quality's so bad because I took the picture with my phone camera as it's too big to fit in my scanner.

Another ugly picture, but this time its a painting. Something I did when I was bored. I obviously don't know how skin's supposed to be coloured.
Probably my favourite piece in a while, especially since I did it entirely out of paint and it has a background for once. It was actually put into the yearbook.
And that's all, folks! Unless I find some more art I forgot to upload, this is practically all I art I have to show you from my last year of high school.
