Environment Practice

Hey folks! Finals are going on! Yay. It feels like that's been going on for about 3 weeks... Probably because it has. In my Environments class, our task was to design the same location with two different moods. I again chose my Steampunk team in 1918. They renovated a recently vacated 1912 firehouse and used it as an HQ for some time. 



The first mood is "Optimistic." They first get the HQ an start solving cases involving the robotic members of society. Either proving their innocence or guilt. 


The second mood, "Depressing," is after a team member dies and everything that can go wrong does.

For the assignment, adding in elements outside of the main structure wasn't a big concern. But that's the biggest inclusion I want to add to these images. Anything that gives the location a specific time frame and location will really sell this piece. The building itself is solid and the water is a great effect and I learned a lot, but I'll be adding other textures and include time specific vehicles as well. 

Another note, I've read enough Sin City for one week. It was a huge inspiration for the Depressing mood.

Cathy Running

Cathy with some fists of fire. 
Or energy fists, whatever you wanna call 'em.

Just playing around in Manga Studio 5. 

I'm loving the tones and the pen. Working with Anti-Aliasing off is so refreshing. Anti-aliasing is the grainy edge you get when you use the brush tool in Photoshop. When it's turned off, or you're working without it, coloring your art is so much easier.

Classy Art Nouveau Knight


I decided to put together my love of women with swords & Art Nouveau together.

In other news, I've been neglecting this blog on purpose actually. I took a much needed absence drawing, working, and writing; generally getting my chops up and removing the possible distraction of caring what other people thinking about my artwork. Once I get in that mode, it's hard to get out. It was just best to get out of that climate and focus on me & my art personally.

For the next long while, I'll be continually updating this site with a new project that's been in the works for a while. It's been an odyssey working on it & a great pleasure to share with you all.

Until my next post, enjoy the art.
