Layout update

I decided to change the layout a little by making the actual posts part of the page wider. I didn't like how narrow the posting space was, it would actually start kicking my claustrophobia. I have my screen set at 1280x1024 and it looks good to me, I'm sorry for those of you who use a smaller resolution and may have to side scroll.

I also added a couple extra gadgets to the sidebar. You can now follow by email and there is a list of the top 5 posts of the month. I think I need to tweak the top 5 a little as it seems to take quite a bit of space, I might take out the post snippets and just leave it as image previews.

I removed the Commissions information that I had up on the "Contact and Commissions" page until I can actually nail down a fair pricing guide as well as commission types. You can still contact me by email about a commission and we can work out a price for your request.

I added a page for MY webcomics which I hope to be updating as soon as I figure out a script for the next strip.

I will also be doing some other modifications to my art uploads. I only have so much space to use and some of my files can be quite large so, I decided to replace some of my larger resolution images with smaller ones to bring down the storage usage and page load time. This won't require me to re-post anything since I only need to update the file server with the new files so, there won't be a flood of "new" posts with old works.

I am currently working on some more random sketches that have yet to be finished and some of the posted WIPs are still in the unfinished stage since I can't seem to decide which direction to go with them. I will be posting up some new WIPs soon, I think.

If you have read the webcomics I have posted here and enjoyed what few there were and would like to see more, please leave me a comment or even send me an email. My email address is on the contacts and commissions page. I have had a few ideas of what to do next in my strip but, never bothered to write them down or even try to sketch them out. If you would like to do a script for a strip or two, send me an email and we will discuss it, you will of course get the credit for the script and any character ideas that you come up with.
Please Note: I am talking about my web comics and not the Guest ones I did for Broken Icon, I took my time for mine, theirs was usually rushed since I only had 1 maybe 2 days to draw and color them.

I am thinking of creating a new blog just for the web comic if I can get enough of them put together to make it worth the space. I also need a good name for the series, I never bothered since they were mostly spontaneous and experimental. I did have a short story I had written several years ago that would make an awesome comic or webcomic but, I haven't been able to find it for years. I also thought about using my rpg sessions as scripts for strips but, remembering what happened is hard enough during the game much less afterward.

I think my new current project should be to script the next strip in my series so I can get back into the rhythm and style I was using and maybe make a better looking strip, eventually.

Thanks for listening to my rambling, this was originally only supposed to be an informational update about the layout changes.

Here is some more recent stuff

The first two are random poses

I was going for the look of a back flip or similar pose. Since the pose is pretty generic I can use it for pretty much any female character. could possibly use it for male characters but, that would require tweaking the base sketch so, I may as well make one just for them.

This was an attempt to draw a back flip style pose from a 3/4 angle and failed miserably but, it works for a ragdoll pose or carried unconscious/dead characters. This one would actually be easy to use as a unisex pose since the chest is the only area that needs any major tweaking.

This is just a quick random marker sketch in SAI, about 20 mins. I needed to clear my head and just do something without thinking about it too much. The only thought that went into this was "that line doesn't look good" *control-Z*. If I couldn't use undo to correct the look of the line then I left it and tried to fix it with "shading" which isn't in this piece on purpose. Anything that looks like shading is purely accidental or subconscious.

This is an Attempt at Ryvonne Draconis an OC that belongs to a friend of mine from Canada, she has played this character for as long as I've known her which is at least 10 years. I used the marker tool in SAI for this one too but, on a smaller setting. I plan to do a proper sketch of this character but first I have to get it to a repeatable state and then work on my wife's character so that they can actually have a "Family" pic, don't argue with a Malkavian.

Latest WIPs

I have been pretty bad about not updating here lately and I'm sorry for those of you who do actually check in once in a while. I have been building my gallery and sketchbooks over at Nabyn.com lately and I haven't even updated my Deviant Art gallery with any of my new stuff that's at Nabyn.

Hopefully to make up for my lack of updates here is a few WIPs that I have done in the last couple days, actually one of them(profile) I just started this morning. I have been trying to sketch out some Original characters based off my characters from different RPGs that I have played, like AD&D, Shadowrun, V:tM, Werewolf, etc. and so forth.

These are also turning out to be great help in my anatomy practice although sometimes I will use a style that anatomy isn't really a requirement other than making sure appendages are attached in the right place.

Enjoy these few sketches and if you have any comments or suggestions, Feel free to leave them.

I'm not putting descriptions in on these since most of the changes between versions are pretty obvious. If I get around to actually finishing these the finished versions will be posted on my original art page and of course I will have a post on the front page saying they are done.
