DAY 34. Grinch Redesigned (35 Minutes)


I'm doing that thing where I pretend that Blue Sky Studios hired me...

I like pretending.

 Re-designed after the Horton Hear's a Who style. For obvious reasons.

DAY 32. Could You Be My Friend, Too? (55 Minutes)


(Give or take a minute or two extra after the recording, I noticed a mistake on the leg and the grass.) 

Yaaay, Link saved us! I like ‘good’ skull kid, the ending of the game always makes me happy :> —alright, doomsday stuff is over, I’ll give the Majora stuff a rest, hehe.

DAY 31. You've Met a Terrible Fate (40 Minutes)

Majora's Mask and Ocarina were a source of a lot of childhood nightmare fuel for me --even the friggin Cucco scared me! (seriously, did you ever attack them in Gerudo Valley?? They'll jump off a cliff to kill you..)

This was supposed to be a reference to the people playing 'chicken little' today, but I thought it was too corny.

DAY 29. Skull Kid (35 Minutes)


Ughh, I'm REALLY upset right now. I recorded myself painting this to prove that I don't cheat on the time, but then when I looked at the recording it was entirely messed up. Ughhhh, fuuu.

DAY 15. Digimon OC (45 Minutes)


As much as I want to keep my dailies as original as possible,  a tiny bit of non-original content wouldn't hurt. 

I was a huge fan of Digimon growing up, it undoubtedly influenced my art my interest in Kaiju/ monsters. I remember having made up a lot of my own, this dude dates back to first grade (ehehe...damn, I'm old.) Named him Raptormon, he's a rookie-level and a vaccine type...would digivolve into this ridiculously over-powered electric mecha-godzilla thing.

DAY 13. Sea Snail (40 Minutes)



Tablet pen is still being an ass. Friend is gonna give me one of his pen nibs tomorrow, awh yiss. Love my buddies.

Saturday 1 December 2012

DAY 12. Tablet Not Working Well (35 Minutes)


My tablet pen is pretty much on the fritz again, I'm sure (I hope) it's the pen-nib, but I'm all out and it's gonna take FOREVER to ship it, so I'm kind of screwed right now. Hopefully Microbytes has it or some shop in Montreal, I'll get it on Monday.

Loathe this, but I'm NOT restarting my dailies. Whether this crappy pen works or not.

DAY 10. Generic Dinosaur (45 Minutes)


No comment, really last minute. I got a lot of adrenalin pumping when trying to meet the 12: deadline.

DAY 8. Cacktumunk (50 Minutes)


Yeah, wow Piper. Really stepping out of your territory with more cute creatures =__=

DAY 7. What is Sleep? (50 Minutes)


Nothing new art-wise. But this pretty much describes how insane I've been (and am right now). I've been a night owl and a morning bird cause of animation school and juggling concept art on the side. I pull about 2-3 all nighters a week. I'm surprised I'm not morbidly obese by now.

DAY 6. First Attempt At Aliens (1 hr 25 Minutes)



LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Wtf I don't even know. I used to draw aliens a lot when I was a kid, but it's been years and I've never tried painting them.
 It's going to take quite a while to get the hang of It's a really fun topic, I can't believe I ditched it. I'm a huge zoology nerd so coming up with all kinds of reasons for why the creature would have certain attributes is going to be fun as hell.

DAY 4. Ancient Waters (1 hr + 30 Minutes)


......I'm not ashamed to say I was listening to Under The Sea on repeat while I was painting this.
