Just a plain doll

Alternate title: "...even the Doll, if it please you..."
The Doll, from Bloodborne. I tried to emulate Alphonse Mucha because why not.
Photoshop CS6. Don't know how long it took.

Clouds

How do they work!?
I started on the top right and worked my way to the bottom left. Can you tell?
I guess this is one of those instances in which it wouldn't kill me to use the soft brush a bit more...
Need more practice!

Vader

My challenge at Polykarbon this time was Star Wars, in black and white. I tried something different this time: I started with a black canvas in Photoshop, and then sorta "carved" the drawing with a white brush.
I made another one with a lightsaber, which you can see here.
So now, I ask you, dear viewer...
With or without? :)

Belle - Disney Princesses Gang Fight

Second one of the bunch.
Belle grew up in a small French village, nestled in the mountains. She never really got along with any of the kids her age, but she's always had a fondness for animals, especially her German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix, Adam. Adam is very protective of his master, and doesn't let anyone come near her, and Belle uses the fear Adam strikes in people to her advantage to get what she wants.
"Adam is so sweet. He's my friend. Adam is no monster, you are!"
Bonus quote!
"If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much!"

Black Bishop

An Animal Crossing joke, what?
I know Dr. King wasn't a bishop, that's part of the joke.
"...this isn't a bishop.."
HAHA DO YOU GET IT

Laocoon

I wanted to give this statue a try because the pose is so interesting and dynamic, but it proved too much for me (which is why I left out his sons!)
Painter and Photoshop.

Landscape

So, I'm still here, and I decided I would try my hand at landscape. Well, after messing with it, I'm thinking I should stick to figure drawing.

Meth

An 'after' portrait of a lady on meth, from here.
My challenge from Polykarbon.
Photoshop, about 3 hours, I think. I lost count.

Birthday sketch: Royal Guard

Royal Guard birthday sketch for a friend.
I decided not to use the original character as reference, as I don't think he looks manly enough. :|
About an hour in PSCS5

Steve Huston lecture 7

More Steve Huston studies. Connections and a bit of color theory.
The red sphere was added in Photoshop. Everything else is pencil on paper.

Sexy Capra Demon

I'm a member of a Dark Souls/Demon's Souls group at Deviantart, and one of our members decided to start reimagining some of the bosses as SEXY.
So here's a SEXY Capra Demon, taking a break after dispatching a couple 'bros.
PSCS5/Painter X3. About 2 hours.
