WIP - Hellhoney Prototype Valentine's Day Cards



These were going to be Valentine's Day cards for Hellhoney last year. I actually don't think they are that bad, but I might as well re-draw them for the sake of consistency.

Though since the Sayu-Lily and the Bat one is in pencil, I wonder if I should just add the changes to it without completely re-doing it?

Sayu-Lily and Bat (I have a name for him, but need advice.)



WIP - Random Calendar Pencils



From my Random Silly Illustrations calendar. They are kind of like a continuation of the series of strange drawings I did for class my last semester at University (Cute Things Turned Ugly and Unlikely Bikini Photoshoot Locations.) Like the Optimizzy calendar pictures, I'm pleased with how these turned out, which is probably why I completed so many from each series (the fact they are both simple probably has a lot to do with it, too.) So I likely won't re-draw these either. I can instead have an extra half hour to draw more Hellhoney and the other major projects.

Why would I even draw these when I have so many more ambitious projects to work on? Sometimes it just feels good to doodle something weird for the heck of it. It's relaxing.



WIP - Zodiac Capricorn and The Rat Prototypes



These are from the much awaited Zodiac series (I only say "much" because it got the most votes in that interest poll I held last year.) The Capricorn is surrounded by pollution, but I want a cleaner, better drawn version (but not cleaner in regards to the pollution, heh.) The Rat completely missed its alleged personality traits, which was the entire purpose of the project: to take the personality traits or characteristics of the signs and make fun of them. A sleeping Rat does not make sense. I'm re-doing this series. (The Ox turned out okay, but might as well re-draw it, too.)

WIP - Optimizzy Calendar



These are from the Optimizzy calendar. Because I'm pleased with them, I won't be re-drawing them. Even though this is a simple series (of a creature that is always happy no matter what befalls it) maybe I can make up for the simple lineart with lighting effects when I color it. I really hate coloring, but I should challenge myself with this so I can have a wide range of skills. (Luckily, fireworks give a good stepping stone for such a goal!)

WIP - QT Crawlies Prototype



These chibi insects are part of the QT Crawlies project I'm working on. I'm redrawing them all because 1.) They need to be bigger so they will look nicer when I make prints of them, and 2.) I think I can draw better now.

Hissing Cockroach

It sucks to start over after having so much done (nearly two dozen, thank goodness none were colored), but since I intend to sell these images on products, I want them to look my best.

State of the Projects - February 2012

Suffice to say I did not meet any of my goals fully during the month of January except an art trade (there was only one, so it was easy to fulfill that goal.) But of my projects, I only got a little of one project done, still not meeting the monthly goal. I also forgot to ask my two friends and my family their thoughts on the projects, so I might as well skip the points and ranking this month. Except one project got a mention, so I added it to the top of this month's minor project priorities. I'll have to work twice as hard this month!

Major Projects

1.) Hellhoney - Six cards drawn and only one has been inked an colored. (That means only four were actually drawn this month.)
2.) Minervellas - Nothing.
3.) Toilet Spawn - Nothing.
4.) Power Warp - Nothing.

Minor Projects

1.) Hobo Story - Nothing.
2.) Zodiac - Nothing.
3.) Super Popcorn - Nothing.
4.) Mervscorn - Nothing.
5.) Birds - Nothing.
6.) Plush Owls - Nothing.
7.) QT Crawlies - Nothing.
8.) Pin-Up Calendars - Nothing.
9.) Random/Original Art - Nothing.
10.) Optimizzy - Nothing.
11.) Random/Silly Calendar - Nothing.
12.) Pantheon - Nothing.
13.) Playing Cards - Nothing.
14.) Tunnels and Elevators - Nothing.
15.) I'm a Bug?! - Nothing.
16.) Tutorials - Nothing.

For more information about each of these projects, please see this post.

Hopefully next month, I'll actually have something to report. I've already messed up on my New Year's Resolutions with the first month.

January 31st will count toward next month since I'm typing this early on Monday night and scheduling it for Wednesday.
