Dare I say it.... I think I have a post with an actual completed work to show today!!!  I got into a Morrigan kick when I was playing the latest Marvel Vs. Capcom.  I have to admit I wasn't too fond of Morrigan (or Lilith) originally, but they've both grown on me over the years. 

I still have a background to do on this but its coming along rather nicely and I think I'll wrap it up within the week.  I plan on having a disgruntled Bats in the chainsaw reflection, but try as I might I couldnt find a reference for anything reflected in a chainsaw (imagine that) so I may scrape that idea entirely.  But I kind of like the idea of Batman sneaking his way into it too...or that Harley's chucking her chainsaws at him.

I am strongly considering renaming this blog the "Half Finished Works of Karyn Elise".  I have two more works in progress to show.... though they're separate pieces I figured I'd throw them together.  The skeleton man is a revamp of a work that I did two years ago.  I did a whole series on tarot cards, though I thought my hanged man was the only one that I could salvage two years later.  The woman is just a quick skin tone practice that I did during the week that I rather liked. 

 Nothing else new to  say... other than the fact that I really hate doing backgrounds.  I should get to work on that.  Til next time Mooninites!

New style time!  This is a portrait sketch that I did of a character design that I'm working on.  I usually sketch and fill in values by crosshatching before scanning it in, so I thought I could try to do the same when I painted digitally.  Its definitely a different technique for me- to rely a little more on trying to keep the 'sketchy' aspect of the original work.

I'm not quite sure what going on with his hair or the top of his head, to tell you the truth.  I originally thought of slapping a helmet on him, but I'm not sure if my lack of knowledge with hats in general is preventing me from getting a good sketch of it or not… eh.  I may do his full body sketch and see what works out- maybe that will help me figure out what to do with his headgear. 

Ahh, just a silly little update for tonight.  I'm working on serious portfolio stuff so this was a cute little project that I worked on when I got sick of buckling down. 

This sketch was done quite a long time ago but I dragged it out and coloured it when I was having a moment when I needed to just colour something and have fun.  These are my two favorite skullbone men, Skellington Jack and Brooke from One Piece.  Brook thinks of himself as very gentlemanly but usually ruins this image when he asks about women's panties.  I tend to like his enthusiasm though.
