I am sick. Really sick. I wanted to get it done last night, but I was busy doing homework and being sick. Kit and I both procrastinated this time, then agreed to do stick figures. I was going to do something in photoshop. Then I fell asleep. Kit was making up songs about pickles. So I stole her pickles.

I made this in Photoshop. I'm going to use the excuse that I spent the past few days working on the Bug-Eyed Monster update (the movie I posted yesterday), and that's how I will account for the quality on this one. The thing is, I got even lazier toward the end and copy/pasted the pickles from the internet rather than drawing a stick figure version of them like I did for the rest of the image, so I'm a little shamido about that. </br>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946643083138511729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-62927881662677411852012-02-04T17:11:00.000-08:002012-02-04T17:11:12.361-08:00Update: BUG-EYED MONSTER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Alright, I got annoyed with this one and said "screw it" halfway through. I love science, but instead of doing an actual science-related thing, or anything resembling an experiment, I decided to make a fossil mermaid skeleton. It wasn't coming out the way I wanted, so I gave up. I also figured out that there's no really good way to give a human skeleton a dolphin or fish tail and make it resemble a mermaid the way we normally picture it. However, the purpose of the blog is to get us out of our art-paralysis, and this challenge did inspire me to do some serious paintings of real fossils. So yay, success! I also finally set up the scanner and scanned this one. My challenge to myself for next time: Start ahead of time instead of waiting until the last minute. <br /><br />Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213279529505804845noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-78394998313672471592012-01-31T12:37:00.000-08:002012-01-31T12:37:05.098-08:00Kit's Challenge Response: BUG-EYED MONSTER!<center><a href="http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/kitcameo/?action=view&current=bug-eyed.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/kitcameo/bug-eyed.gif" border="0" alt="Bug-Eyed Monster Challenge, For Kit and Elaine's Creative Challenge Blog: http://kitandelaine.blogspot.com/"></a></center>

As you can probably tell, I had a lot of fun with this one. :)</br></br>
This is Bem, my Bug-Eyed Monster. Bem and his different mouths were created with Prismacolor markers, and then scanned and animated in Photoshop and Imageready. Still just practicing basic animation techniques, but I have something a little more elaborate planned for Bem in the future. </br>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946643083138511729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-60895611550765254022012-01-29T16:11:00.000-08:002012-01-29T16:11:49.451-08:00Challenge Subjects for 1/31/2012Elaine's challenge subject is SCIENCE EXPERIMENT!

A small step up from the last few challenges--I used real drawing pencils and drawing paper! My idea was based on a Celtic fairy tale about a woman who was murdered, and her bones turned into a swan, and then were made into a harp that sang the truth about her killer. I think. I don't remember it very clearly. I think there was a Loreena McKennitt song about it. Anyway, my goal now is to get a little better and a little more serious each challenge, until I'm finally making things I'd actually consider real art again. My challenge to myself for next time: Set up the scanner and actually scan my work instead of taking pictures with my phone.Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213279529505804845noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-55524702508531443302012-01-29T12:47:00.000-08:002012-01-29T16:12:37.124-08:00Kit's Challenge Response: THE FUTURE!<center><a href="http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/kitcameo/?action=view&current=future1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/kitcameo/future1.gif" border="0" alt="THE FUTURE"></a></center>

I made a gif! I do picture everyone living in giant pods like these in the future, because we've either used up all the land, or devastated it completely. I'm trying to practice animation so that I can make little cartoons of some of my characters, so that's what I've done with this challenge.

OK, I totally forgot. I whipped this up in a hurry. I decided to use a live model, which I have never been good at. This is my nephew Gavyn. One day I will do a proper portrait of him. <br />

I wanted to do something with color this time, but I still started later than I should have, so I decided not to go with a traditional scary forest idea. I'm much better with creatures than I am with scenery, especially when I'm pressed for time, so I created a scary beast with a forest growing out of his back. I drew him in pencil and then outlined in ink, with Prismacolor markers used for the rendering. I'm pretty satisfied with him, and I'm glad I'm not just posting another sketch again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946643083138511729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-76113509527348839182012-01-24T17:05:00.000-08:002012-01-26T15:50:07.718-08:00Challenge Subjects for 1/26/2012Elaine's challenge subject is SOMETHING TREASURED! </br></br>

I had this ready before the deadline, I swear! I wanted to tweak it a bit in photoshop--crop out the edges that aren't part of the painting and take out some of that yellow sunset light--but I'm having one of those days where no technology wants to work for me. 5x10 Acrylic on canvas. I think I will finish this and set my scanner up to scan it properly.Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213279529505804845noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-90634311639069602262012-01-24T15:51:00.000-08:002012-01-26T15:48:21.360-08:00Kit's Challenge Result: BIRD GIRL!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just another quick sketch. I was going to try to do more with this one, but I ended up wasting time yesterday.

I was surprised at how easy this was. It turns out I haven't lost my ability to draw after all! It only took a few minutes. It's a rough sketch on printer paper, and I could definitely do better. This is the fist time in a long time that I've tried to work out shading a little and tried to draw facial features. Fantastical characters are not my usual thing, so it was surprising to me that I was able to do it this easily. I was going for different-sized googly eyes, but I didn't exaggerate it enough or make them round enough, so it kind of looks accidental. Not bad for the first attempt at drawing in maybe a year.Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213279529505804845noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-75069214976388328642012-01-22T14:25:00.000-08:002012-01-26T15:48:11.931-08:00Kit's Challenge Result: HONG KONG HIGH RISE!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay, I'm absolute shite when it comes to drawing buildings, or pretty much anything composed of straight lines and angles, and this particular building had <i>a lot</i> of those! I found the image of this building by putting the challenge subject in a Google image search. It's not a fantastic sketch, but it's the first time in a long time that I've even attempted to draw an architectural structure, so there's that. One of the points of this challenge is practice. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946643083138511729noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390589155721687919.post-38767500883908664582012-01-20T16:18:00.000-08:002012-01-26T15:49:46.498-08:00Challenge Subjects for 1/22/2012Elaine's challenge subject is SPACE GOBLINS!

I waited until the last minute, which is probably going to happen a lot. You can see the paint is still wet. I had no ideas for anything cool to do, so I just played around with painting techniques. I'm not at all pleased with the result, but it was fun to do. Maybe I will revisit this challenge another time when I have some better ideas. <br />
