2016 MARCH - SEPTEMBER ART SPAM!
"Of beef and...MOAR BEEF! (with a side of rotisserie chicken)"
*a wild raeve appears*
Sometimes I think about closing this blog, but I dunno, I still kinda like having one blog where all my art is archived, even the old crappy stuff so... *shrugs* It's nice to look back once in awhile to remind myself that all the struggles and hard work actually paid off and that I have improved and continue to improve. So, until I feel otherwise, I guess I'll keep it.
I don't have too much to say about this particular spam except that my love for all things Cap and Bucky rages on with the force of a thousand suns. I never thought I'd still be drawing them almost exclusively after more than two years...but here we are.
First up - two W.I.P.s of a cute beef:

Clean inks + flats:

The finished cute beef:

Bless you, Civil War wardrobe department for Bucky's red henley and fitted jeans of awesomeness! <3
Next up - two W.I.P.s of a cute rotisserie chicken:

Clean inks + beginning of flats:

I was inspired by the Civil War concept art and really wanted to try Cap's suit in black. *u*
The finished cute rotisserie chicken:

Man, I got lost for hours looking at ref photos of Cap's uniform. Sooooo many beautiful details! <3___<3 For a brief moment I thought about simplifying it, but I'm glad I didn't. I'm quite happy with how it tuned out, and especially proud that the black on black didn't end up as just a giant dark blob. Yay!!!
Next on the menu - W.I.P. of a sad beef:

Forever grateful the opening scene of Civil War was a painful Winter Soldier flashback! # i live for that shit So, of course I had to draw a lil' somethin'.
The finished sad beef:

Super happy with the colour combo in this one! \o/ Also, I love drawing Bucky v. HYDRA tentacles and plan to do more in the future MWA HA HAH HA haaaa...
Next menu item - W.I.P. of sad robo!rotisserie chicken:
Tumblr post is here.
Yep! Still poking around my # trash pile of sads and HYDRA medical experiments AU! And I still have every intention of making more comics for this 'verse, just sorting out designs and planning panels, etc in between working on a million other things I wanna draw. # too many ideas not enough time ;A;
And on the dessert menu we have - MOAR BEEF! but drawn on real paper with real crayons:
Sketchbook entry 1:

Sketchbook entry 2:

Okay, so I hadn't drawn anything but digital for the past two years and I was legit worried I wouldn't be able to draw on real paper anymore because digital just makes using refs and fixing mistakes and adjusting proportions so convenient, but like, all that practice (even tho it was digital) totally improved my overall observational and drawing abilities and my trad media skills leveled way the hell up as a result! *u*
And lastly - I once again pulled my HTMYAW comic ( as seen in the previous spam) off the back burner. Made some slight changes to page 1, and am now halfway thru page 2.
Here's a preview of one panel from pg2 cuz...proud of birbs:

I had no intention of using animated elements for this comic, but then I got the idea to animate the lights from inside the arcade, which only creates more work for myself *sigh* but I did some animation tests and...it actually looks...cool. And it adds to the atmosphere so, imma do it! :D
Anyhoo, that's it for this round. Thanks for reading. See you next spam!
