Space Bear

He was going to be a sun bear (my favourite) but his space suit covered his markings, so I made him a generic looking bear instead. Then again, it doesn't really matter what species of bear he is, because he is in space.

Sky

This started off being a simple speedpaint practice and both paintings were done on a single layer each (I don't recommend it) The Pegasus was my friend Natalie's idea, she said I should paint a pnk sky with a mountain and a pegasus, so I did, then we added the two to my lightning painting as well. Fun times!

So we have been having some server issues at Uni over the past few week, and we keep losing access to it (which can get very frustrating when you're animating digitally and are trying to save your work) so in between working on my group project and waiting for the student server to not crash and die, I've been doodling circus animals. I always loved the giant tower of elephants in Dumbo, so I tried to draw something similar but it ended up just being these two. I really like this one so I'll be looking up some reference pictures and colouring this one properly for sure (:

Volcano dragon!

This is the rough sketch and the final version of a quick dragon drawing I did last week.
Nothing too spectacular, but you can see a bigger version of the finished image here if you like.

I kinda get the feeling I'm uploading this for the sake of uploading something new, and this did only take me 10 minutes all up, but still, I needed cheering up because I have not had the best beginning to the week this week (but that's another story for another time) I've been really busy with my group project at Uni, and I've had virtually no free time even for doodling, which has been a little frustrating.

In case you cannot tell by my fabulously anatomically correct drawings, these guys are (from the top) a Gouldian Finch, a Sun Conure/Sun Parakeet and a Chinchilla. I have inherited my mums 'crazy bird lady' gene which is only just starting to show itself, but while my mum is mad keen of wild and native New Zealand birds, I'm much more partial to the brighter birds, especially parrots (I've wanted a pet Macaw since I was very little) There's actually a huge long list of pets I'd like, including these three and a macaw, there's also an axolotl or two, a rat, a ferret, more guinea pigs, a cat, a canary and some zebra finches just to name a few.

Pretty girls with pretty coloured hair. I'd love to dye my hair green, but it wouldn't suit me at all.

I just noticed how tiny the bottom girl's hand is, it's funny how you don't notice silly mistakes til your just about to upload something.

So my blog is supposed to be just for my sketches and doodles and the like, but this sort of goes with the Joan Jett portrait I did, so I figured I'd post it here too.

It's Lita Ford, she was the lead guitarist in the Runaways and she went on to have a very successful solo career. This photo is from sometime during the 80s (long after the Runaways had disbanded)

She is so gorgeous, if you don't know who she is I suggest you look her up.
