Red Panda Shirt cont.

Just an update on the Red Panda image that I may submit to Threadless. This is a closer iteration of what the final idea will resemble. The way the Panda interacts with the diamond shape is still a bit incongruous, but I just need to make the movement more dynamic, so it looks like the panda is leaping through the opening. Right now it looks like it’s just leaning over the edge, and doesn’t have a sense of motion. Anyhow, the next version will, hopefully, be posted within the next week or so.

Venetian Flowers.

This began as a desire to draw a venetian mask that was interacting with some leaves and vines in some way. From there it got merged in to another image I wanted to do involving flowers, and another featuring a scene of a city that is roughly inspired by Venice. The city is supposed to look rough, as if it’s only partially formed. Like it’s a dream. This took a lot longer to do that I expected. Anyhow, here it is.

Paul Krugman fanart.

Yes. I did a fanart of my favorite economist, Paul Krugman. The Nobel Laureate and New York Times columnist. Yes, I am the biggest dork in the world.

 

Anyway, here it is. Lineart and in color. This was done on 9 x 12 (I think) windpower sketch paper, with Micron pens

 

Girl near…some kind of bars/poles/tall metal things.

A young woman, standing near some sort of metal structure.

Sepia Ruins.

Just an ink drawing of a woman, roughly inspired (in appearance) by Rosa, from Final Fantasy 4, wearing a suit. I felt like doing something in sepia, with a lot of linework. The Roman structure is not at all related to the character. It just happens to be on the same page.

Mountains and red clouds.

Just some mountains and red clouds.

Cthulhu Opera House development.

Sketches of various elements that will be part of a coat-of-arms for an opera house, with an octopus/cthulhu head.

Furniture doodles part 1 and a sketchup model.

Okay, obviously I am not the best with Sketchup, but I include it here for the sake of completion, and for feedback should anyone wish to give it. This is just a decorative, semi-functional outdoor bench design. I did the rough sketch first, then created a simple model in sketchup, and included those images so you have a better idea of the actual dimensions and shape of this thing.

 

Obviously this would not be the most comfortable bench for long term use, but as I said, this is meant to be decorative as much as it is functional. The actual sketchup model below is a bit longer, and more narrow, than this drawing. The bevel/slope on the segments is just to give it a more pleasing sense of shape.

 

I may update the model to add the detailing seen on the legs. This was just meant to give a general impression of the shape and size of the bench, as opposed to anything extremely detailed. No texture is suggested, but if this were actually made, I would envision it as being made primarily of steel and concrete, and colored similarly to whatever it’s structural surroundings are.

Random scrap: futuristic barrier structure.

I just thew this together in about 45 minutes or so. It’s a concept for a large fence/barrier that plays a prominent role in a sci-fi short story I’ve been working on. The barrier is more than just a wall. It can also disrupt communications, and it can detect various types of activity nearby. Not the silhouette of the individual on the walkway, near the grass, for size comparison. I may do a proper illustration of it later.

Red Pandas and Venetian Masks.

Red panda, sticking it’s tongue out, and looking goofy. Yeah, I like red pandas.

Anyhow….

I also did this sketch of a venetian mask. It’s, well, a venetian mask. It has no mouth because I thought it might look visually interested. The shape of the mask is meant to have a shape vaguely reminiscent of a cobra. There rest of the elements are just abstraction.
