Unfortunatley the portfolio season have been keeping me away and doing all of this art. I'm not actually hating it, cause well I love art, but I know I really shouldn't neglect my bloggin duties. Even my vlog died off for a while in Christmas break becuase thats when I did start to use all my time to do my portfolio. However I am a month away and only three mandatory pieces and four personal arts left from completion. I gotta finish this soon so I can get started on my illustration portfolio. This one is all about the shading and understanding, value, proportion and creativity!
Here's what I got so far, just some experimentation on the 140 lb watercolour sketchbook colour with pencil crayons :)
Self-Portrait in Expressionist Colours
In other news I've also finished my rotation of my character. Her name was Amé Fleet, but I decided to change her name when I founds someone else last year submitted and aviator/plane pilot character named Aimee - Although mine is a half bird, half human (so I guess Harpie) girl who loves flying I figured a name change would be suitable. So there were 5 names I contemplated, 2 of which I just like and three with background meanings in reference to the bird species.
a) Henrietta
c) Bernadette
c) Aleta -Meaning "winged" in Spanish
d) Doli - Meaning "bluebird" in Native American
e) Zitkala - Meaning "bird: in Native Dakota American
In the end, by feedback the name Aleta was chosen. Her final name is Aleta Harbringer.
Here are some expression sketches about her:
In recent craft news, I've made canvas shoe designs again. Its a lot of fun what fabric paint can do, so this is what I've made for my boyfriend and I!
(Black is his), Aaron
(White are mine) Nicolle
If you are interested in having me make a pair please e-mail me in the contact information down below or leave a comment and I will message you. :) If you live near me (Hamilton -Burlington- Oakville) I will personally deliver them and charge around $12-15 depending on the complexity of the design. If you are past those areas we'll talk about shipping and stuff later :)
That's all I really got, other than I'm looking to get a tattoo, my cartilage pierced and dye my hair plum with platinum highlights. Yeah, that just sounds like a huge dumping of money. I love it!
Cheers,
cobalt :)
