Quickie's Stuff.

[Dr. Wily II]

Freshly drawn and scanned tonight.

DAT GRIN D:

[Quickman]

Got some sketch cards.

This one started out as a sketch card of D'harhan, the ever-awesome bounty hunter with a cannon for a head, but ended up becoming an exercise in painting particle effects.



Here's a sketch card of Ooryl Qrygg, the delightfully-naive Gand X-wing pilot from Michael Stackpole's X-Wing novels.  I have a kit-bashing project planned for him.  Got an extra Zuckuss figure, I just need to get me an X-wing pilot Luke figure.



And here's Mewtwo.  Haven't drawn him in since forever.

[Protoman Blues]

AWWWWWWW MEWTWO.

Next time draw your Pokemon RP trainer version of yourself AND Mewtwo! 

[Quickman]

If I do, I am not painting in his fur.  That was a tedious pain.

[Protoman Blues]

Sounds like a plan! 

[Sakura Leic]

You got the staring at my soul look perfectly.  I'm glad you didn't do this with a Palkia that just would have been too much.

[Quickman]

Now I'll need to remember what Palkia is... and then do just that.

[Pyro]

Oh no! Mewtwo's pinching my head!

[Dr. Wily II]

OH GOD MEWTWO D:

[Quickman]

Got more cards.

[Dr. Wily II]

The first one... That pose... That shading... SO SINISTER

[Protoman Blues]

And May the 4th be with you! 

[Sapphire Knight]

I poke in and look a couple pages up to see Mewtwo. He's so fuzzy!

[Quickman]

Have a happy Mewtwo.



A sketch card of Yuun, from The Old Republic.



And, here's Hawkeye.



I was playing with my markers for this one.

[Sakura Leic]

Now I can see Mewtwo's sharp teeth.

[Protoman Blues]

Hawkeye's body is ready.

[Ahrzayl]

Well, wow! You have some REALLY nice stuff in here overall!

[Quickman]

Thanks.

The forked tongues on the raptors may not be entirely accurate.  They just looked better.

[Phi]

Hawkeye: "Yes, take me. TAKE ME NOW!"

[ViperAcidZX]

Pre-historic reptiles can't resist Hawkeye. May as well be the mack daddy of dinosaurs.

[Dr. Wily II]

Happy? LOOKS PSYCOTIC D:

[Quickman]

Since I had the figure on my drafting table while reposing it for display, I decided that it was high time I break out my gouache paints and give them a try!



Just finished the grayscale shading, so there's my setup.  I needed to wait for the paint to dry a bit, as gouache is very water-soluble.



The grayscale.

Even after the paint had dried, when I applied the color wash, it mixed the grays around.  That's how I learned just how water-soluble gouache is.  It's like painting with thick watercolors.



The finished piece.  For now, at least.  I may apply more touchups later, but it's done for now.  Media used: gouache on an acrylic wash.

I'm liking the gouache.  For my next project, I plan to use it, perhaps do a mixed-media, as I like how acrylics aren't as water-soluble, and since I layer my paint, it's better that the medium doesn't dissolve the layer beneath it.  But, for a quick experiment, I like the results, and it gave me some experience with using gouache.

[Protoman Blues]

Oh my.... that's [tornado fang]ing amazing! You're [tornado fang]ing amazing! 

[Ahrzayl]

Quickie, I think I'm in love with your hands.

[Dr. Wily II]

VERY nice, very brilliantly awesome nice. o:
