Sorry Stocking

Forgive me Father Garterbelt, for the last 2 months I have been working on cosplay instead of drawing.

Runs away.

In progress Knights of the Fae page

YoYo, So another progress piece from me. Its apart of the first page for the Knights of the Fae, the full thing is still kinda really scratchy so I just cropped a bit of it. Ill try post up the full first page sometime but unfortunately for now I'm going to go back and try focus on some studies for the next few weeks.

Art....

 Some doodlings based on the Byman.

Drawfest Christchurch mascot

The Drawfest Christchurch mascot

The updated Drawfest Christchurch mascot (and logo)! Something very light-hearted this week.

Drawfest Christchurch is a Christchurch-based (as the name implies) social group with a focus on drawing, but also art in a broader sense. Local artists of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome to join, and twice a month we meet up to draw and have fun. We also make regular appearances at local conventions, running our group stall.
Drawfest Christchurch is but one part of the greater 'Drawfest NZ' group.

Oh, and of course, all of the Neon Turtles are regular members of Drawfest Christchurch! The group is lead/coordinated by yours truly :)

Not nothing

All the drawing I managed this week... ie. hardly anything. Well, it features dear old Annie with a Magikarp? Enjoy! Will try pump out more interesting art by next week. Sorry!

Artstudio

Practising colouring on ipad's Artstudio.

Bo in Wonderland

So yeah it's a shepard girl kinda maybe... this started out as a test for a live art demo I have to do in two days time. I decided to just paint something I felt comfortable with and wouldn't have to think too much about, as I only have two hours. The main thing I want to focus on is the process so I will start from scratch and try to talk a lot about that. Having the piece end up looking like a final painting isn't really necessary as long as it looks goodish in the end.

Bust-ed

This week I found myself sculpting a character, It was great to create in 3- dimensions again.

The Man in the Moon

Man in the Moon

They look up, and upon the moon see the image of a man.

This one is pretty straight forward, really. Just another whimsical piece, in a bolder illustrative style. It can be refreshing to work in this style, now and then.

Zap!

ART COMES IN MANY FORMS, ALL RIGHT?

Took me about 2 solid days of sewing to make this little guy. It's Pachirisu (4th gen). I understand many people don't like said Pokemon, because it's a "Pikachu clone", but you know, well, I think it's a biiiit different. It's an electric squirrel though, haha.

Made with minky fleece and felt. 

This is the first plushie I've ever made for myself, haha. About time, really...

Channelle out! Happy Tuesday! Over to you other turtles.

Pre-sketch of Fire Bird, and I'm Burnt Out already and it's only Monday

Sorry it's only a base sketch yet.  Need to finish this fire bird soon.

 2 weeks left to Overload and my hair
has gone grey.  Anybody know 'Tomorrow's Jo' (Ashita no Jo)?

Knights of the Fae

So something a little different from me this week. Line art isn't usually something I work with, but for this painting I was enjoying the line work so I decided to keep it around. I will still play with this painting for a little longer although its coming along nicely. This a just a mock cover for my project the Knights of the Fae. Knights of the Fae is a project I started during my time studying and is still being developed now. I'll go into more detail about it some other time when I have more to show though.

Motion Comic Exercise #1

Something different this week.
I've taken my panel copy comic from last month, and created a motion comic.
I used a combination of Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Audition and Premiere Pro to create this.

Witch Hunter Concept

Witch Hunter concept

The Argentum Order witch hunters are a relentless organisation devoted to slaying all manners of warlock, witch and fiend. Their cutting-edge weaponry is specially designed to counter and neutralise magic.

Another piece of fantasy concept art I did for fun/practice, as if for a fantasy MMORPG.

Mononoke

Sorry it's nothing flashy... I was pretty short on time, so quickly sketched and coloured Princess Mononoke. I just watched the movie for the first time tonight, and I have to say, it's the best Studio Ghibli movie out in my opinion. Despite the occasional violent parts, I quite enjoyed it. The background art was pretty great, I have to say.

Just ink pens and copics, yup. Practice makes... improvement! It will happen! And I'll put in more effort next week... promise. OTL

Channelle

Vector fun

Found original workings of the Samurai pic that I started it out in Adobe Ideas.  I switched to watercolour as unfortunately app came up with error msg that was not fixable then.

Free Commissions

So are you wanting a free commission from the turtles? Well head over to the facebook page here and read the latest post from Channelle for details on how you can win yourself a free commission. Don't worry if you don't win this time though, we will be doing more free commissions in the future.

Red Moon Summoning

I wanted to paint something a bit darker in tone so I decided to a demon summoning. I always enjoy messing with anatomy elongating limbs and playing with proportions. So demons and monsters can be quite fun to draw sometimes. At the moment this is still very early on and i feel the painting is looking weirdly flat at the moment. I will work on getting more depth in there and will hopefully have a finished version of this for you to look at next week.

In The Garage

I'm almost finished with this image, just gotta decide on a color palette.

Cleric Concept

Cleric concept

The mountainside settlement of Mysthold produces the most skilled clerics and spellswords across the nation, devout warrior-monks bred under harsh conditions.
Competent in both combat and healing magic, the cleric is a versatile melee/support hybrid.
Pictured: Fiendhunter armour set (Lv 40+), Thaumaturge Mace (Lv 45+)

Not an illustration, but a concept drawing, just for fun.

The Turtles

Some turtle faces. Enjoy a sense of Channelle humour (it's not great but it's something).

Don't be mad, turtles.

My friend's sushi biz

Spent weekend moving back into house, so pulling out an earlier work done for my friend.
