Ok here's some of my WIPs, since i've had people ask about what's going on with them.

first the oldest, which i haven't touched in a while, long while.


my first experience with a pen tool was on that one.

i have no idea of how long i've had the others, as far as which was started first.


the lines are drawn, not vectored. it was practice with making my hand steadier with my wacom.


the start of a collab with one of the coolest people on AP, who i'm not naming. the person hasn't even seen this yet, because i started over with the bg, when before i had a fg part i was working on. i didn't like it enough so it'll be redone.


a really simple wall i'm doing that's going to focus on the recg. i'm going to try to make it as realistic as possible. almost all the skin you see here is my work, except the neck and ear. i haven't done the hair except the eyebrow. the concept behind the wall is weird, and i'm not sure how many will understand it, and for those who don't the wall may look unfinished when i'm done. but those who do understand it should like it, i hope.


obviously incomplete. gonna put mics in their hands and add more lighting and effects, and do a hell of a lot of blending. i have a concept for a follow up wall with male characters in a heavy metal band, but i want to finish this first.


the last i'm sharing. this one has bounced around AP in a way. i started it for the stalker contest of coloring a b&w scan. then i wanted to finish it for the scenic sexy contest. then i contemplated bringing it back to the stalker secret number contest, but now i've decided i'm going to use it for the scenic project "Arus Fantasia." it may not look like i've done much with this, but i wouldn't be surprised if i have more than 20 hours into it already. there's a lot of detail in there and most of the work is recg, so yeah. it takes a while to make clean lines that small. though some is done with the pen tool using paths (if i'm going to vector, i'm going to do it in AI. PS is not a vector application, and doesn't work well for real vectors. all of you using it to make "vectors" are not making real vectors, just so you know. PS works with pixels, pixels and vectors do not coexist. it's either one or the other. so if you want to make real vectors, that pwn the PS vector, use illustrator. {nice rant dan})

ok, so that's it for what i'm sharing here. i pretty much know what i want to do with these but feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions.

ciao for now.
