Capoeira Is Really Fun To Draw.

This is one of my favourite poems. ^_^

Happy Hallow' indeed!

Happy Halloween, folks!

What part of “INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY” do these people not understand? Goddam.

Kay, so... Math geeks, I could use some help here.

You know how the Fibonacci sequence approaches the golden ratio? I've seen this mentioned all over the place.

A while ago, I was messing around with golden triangles/gnomons. The golden ratio is a:b=a+b:a, right? Well, by adding more and more golden gnomons to a golden triangle, you get more and more side lengths that are in golden ratio to each other. The sequence looks like this: b, a, a+b, 2a+b, 3a+2b, 5a+3b, 8a+5b, 13a+8b...

Now, the thing is, each of these terms are the sum of the two previous ones. Just like the Fibonacci sequence, except using a and b as seed values... it doesn't just approach the golden ratio, tho, it is in golden ratio.

Now, I'm feelin' kinda clever for figuring this out on my own, but I heavily doubt that I'm the first person to notice it. I have yet to find any mention of it anywhere, though... I don't suppose anyone knows of a source/reference/precedent?

Follow up from the 3x3 headshots. Dun like the shape of the muzzle, but not too horrible otherwise.

Inked on paper, touched up in Photoshop. I did more editing on this one than I usually like to do... my hands were reeeally shaky, though, so the lines were even more shabby than usual. 

Edit: I like the new monogram I'm using. (Compare to the one on the pic of Galen.)

I start livestreaming, and what's the first thing I do?

Make a banner for my Livestream, of course. Eyup.

Still streaming!

This little guy is a carbuncle: a lizard about five inches long when he’s not all curled up. He has a gemstone inside his head that, if extracted and correctly processed can be used to create a potion that grants the imbiber... I dunno, eternal life, or the ability to perceive the essential nature of reality, or something like that. Removing the gem kills the carbuncle, so this one is having a little quiet time sitting on his own belly, ‘cuz poachers got most of his family.

Wow: this one looked so much better as a pencil sketch than it does on screen. Especially that hind leg, jeez.

Bleah. So much fail.

Decided to sit down and see how well I could draw heads from a full range of angles. I think  the worst is the lower left one, since I really wasn't sure what the heck the far side of the face should look like. I'm surprised the right coulomb came out as well as it did.

Two big mistakes on this one... First, the blocks I used to rough in the positions were cubes, when heads are actually 2/3rds as wide as they are tall. I think the left coulomb looks off because the eyes are too far apart (for comparison, the drawing on the right was done with the proportions I usually use). Second, the heads are turned about 45 degrees, and tilted 30 degrees... that's at the extreme end of how far the neck can bend. Comfortably.

For the record: by "mistake" I mean "I should have known better," not "things I did wrong." The things I did wrong are legion, and it'll probably take me a month just to google up the reference images I'll need to study.

(Quickly) inked in photoshop. The pencil and paper version was a mess.

Finally, at long last: I have a name for my style of work: Tradigital... Woo! Time to go re-tag everything I’ve ever posted. Fun story: I was thinking about how to categorize my work, and I thought, It’s kinda part traditional, part digital... tradigital! And I thought, I wonder if I’m the first one to think of that. So off to Google I go, and it turns out, I wasn’t! And I went, “Cool: now I have a name for it!

Also picked up a new term a little while ago: “Spotting blacks,” which is where you fill in solid black areas of a comic frame... funny that in the myriad of comic how too books I own, it wasn’t mentioned once. Good thing to know, since spotting blacks is the part that I do digitally.
