Sea Serpent Studies

For the past couple of days I was doing some research on sea serpents for an ongoing animation project.  Here's several silhouettes of some serpent heads, still a work in progress, but I like the direction that some of these are heading towards.

Another AoFHM Portrait

So... It turns out I did have something to submit for today even though this piece was made sometime at the beginning of the month. hah... So this is Gwen, one of the main protagonist of the comic.  She's a healer as well as a elemental mage. I'm not quite sure what to do with that hair, but this is definitely not a final draft of the character.

Itch to Paint

One thing about working at the my apt is that it gets very... depressing and the melancholy feel starts to sink in.  I pretty much dislike windows that face south because of that.  Since I couldn't focus on my animation homework I decided to do a 1 hour portrait.  

In this one project I'm working on with a group of friends - a fantasy/adventure/comedy story, one of the main characters, Ethan, has an uncle who was a king of this well established kingdom.  For the longest time we were trying to figure out how he would look like, still a work in progress, but that gave me the push to do something rather than sit at my desk, staring off into space. So here's a rough start to this character's physical appearance. 

Character Sheet - Tenzin

Over the past semester I got hooked on a series called "Elemental Mysteries".  It's a good read, though I didn't expect the book to have vampires, which threw me for a loop half way through the first book.  Other than that the story was interesting and I would recommend it for those who are into the paranormal/romance/adventure genres. 

So... one of the projects I'm working on for the summer is some character designs and here's one for one of the female characters from the Elemental series. Though this originally started off as a study on martial art poses, it slowly evolved into a character study.  Inspiration struck, what can I say? haha. Enjoy. :D
