[Fire Kracker]

i thought it was penis at first

[Maya2008]

Apparently, it stands for Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Well, I didn't choose the name :p

[Maya2008]

Another one

An acoustic-based tunable patterning technique by which microparticles or cells that can be arranged into reconfigurable patterns in microfluidic channels.

[Maya2008]

I got a job in Dublin, so I'll be moving to Ireland this month!
Will ship my workstation there from US,
and, hopefully, will be able to do some digital paintings again.

Dublin Ireland.
Taken during my interview there last month.

[jenny7332]

Dublin's awesome! I've only been down once though, even though I live in Northern Ireland.

[Maya2008]

Nice, at least I know someone here is not too far away, so I'm not moving into the middle of no where, haha~

Irish people in Dublin are friendly and lay-back.
My company has branches elsewhere, but I think I'll really enjoy Dublin =]

[Maya2008]

I just realized I never dumped my work into my sketchbook lol.
So, here they come, also as a review for improvements for myself.

[Maya2008]

Did a pencil sketch of an angel.
[img]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/174/8/3/angel_sketch_by_fadingz-d54ls7y.jpg[/img]
Will ink it with photoshop tomorrow.
Can't color it, however, as I still have no tablet :(

[Maya2008]

Took a while to ink, but here it is:
[img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/175/f/e/angel_by_fadingz-d54npc8.png[/img]
It's a character design for my personal game dev project.

[Maya2008]

Game char design again.
Fat female demon:
[IMG]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/175/2/9/fat_female_demon_sketch_by_fadingz-d54pc6d.jpg[/IMG]
gonna ink it soon.

[editline]23rd June 2012[/editline]

and she will lose weight, eventually...

[Detlef]

its like a fat head with a skinny face.

[Barnhouse]

yes the face is very delicate and ladylike but the body is fat and gross

[mako_]

I'm not sure about the result of your "inking", it's too vectory and lifeless for my taste

[Maya2008]

I kept her face delicate to foreshadow that she will look nice when she lose weight,
and the gross body goes with the first half of the storyline.

@MSD,
I will color the image and remove the lineart all together later.
and it is indeed a vector file xD
so that I can scale it without worrying about the resolution in the future.

[mako_]

Fair nuff

Seems a very laborious and un-painterly process though

[Maya2008]

well... I can't paint atm, that is why I'm doing it this way :(
Vector is the easiest way to tweak atm.
I can nudge each like easily like a breeze without erasing and redrawing or using liquify.
Even traditionally, I'd need a lot of transparent paper to adjust while keeping the paper clean.

[Maya2008]

Just inked her.
This is one of the most painful pieces, if not the most painful one, I've made...

[editline]24th June 2012[/editline]

Well, no pain, no gain.

[Maya2008]

The fat demon lost some wight:

she is the pride demon form.

[Maya2008]

inked

[Rusty100]

all the girls you draw look exactly the same whats up with that

[Maya2008]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36477398]all the girls you draw look exactly the same whats up with that[/QUOTE]

It's intentional.
The two demons are the same character, different forms.
The angel is the mirror opposite.
Glad that you realized that actually xD

[Rusty100]

no i don't mean just them
i mean literally every woman you draw

[!LORD M!]

I concur with Rusty, you suffer from the same-face syndrome. Do studies of different looking people and races as well as ages to get over it.

[Maya2008]

I'll do that for the next char.
