It’s tough being an artist for a living sometimes. Sure it might sound like fun being able to do your hobby and get paid for it… and trust me… it rocks, but sometimes things just don’t come together. Take for today for example, I was working on a magical effect animation for my project and do you think I could come up with something that I liked? No way. A whole day down the tubes. I might… might be able to use what I’ve doing for a different effect if I’m lucky and probably only in part. On the bus ride home I thought of what I could do on Monday for the effect and it should work. If only I had thought of it this morning.

sigh…

Being creative for the vast majority of the day is hard. Thinking up new and creative ways to display what needs to be shown in game can really make you tired. Ah well… I hope it comes together next week. I still have lots to do before it’s release date. At least I was sable to finish my Roxanne pic at lunch. Boobies can perk up any day ^_^

Well, it would seem that doing those doodles earlier in the week really helped to get the juices flowing.  Before I knew it I took that kitty girl doodle, worked it over and ended up redesigning one of my characters.  Kay was in need of a work over as I was never really happy with her look.  I even went crazy and messed with line colour too.  Plus I found some pencil brushes for Photoshop last week.  See I really missed the rough look of actual graphite on paper and I was never able to make a brush I was happy with that mimicked a pencil well enough.  But I found some and they’re great.  I actually used it in Kay’s lines, which I kept rough because I [b]love[/b] rough line work. ^_^

After this I did a couple of sketches for a commission and even started a little clean up (with the pencil brushes) on the bondage bunny folio just for kicks.  Who knows what this will lead to ^_^

Oh and as promised here’s a collection of sexy Sky Girl screen caps. ^_^
