Illustration Friday submission : Thanks Tails Bus

(heavy sigh) It saddens me a little when i have some really great visual ideas for finished pieces but due to life,work unexpected showcase events and the potential annoyance i lost a great sheet of observation studies. it never becomes the reality i see in my imagination. This is still in sketch mode i never got it done to a standard i am happy with. but i want to keep this content consistent each week even if it means sacrificing perfectionism  a little to keep these ideas flowing and going.

This weeks theme was.....Tails (if you can tell)

i know have the crafty Muthas fair this weekend to look forward to wish me luck and i  will see you all LATERs in the next post ;).

unexpected Jowy Shenanigans updates 17/11/13

This has come up at just the last minute and is going to make my week that little bit busier. My good old university BCU has invited me to a showcase-networking event on Tuesday where I could really spread the world of Jowybean around lol and exchange contacts with other businesses. There’s over 100 attendees going to it and some of us are getting a table so I need to prepare for it fast. I have my table booked but I need to gather together a proper portfolio for the event.

Crafty Muthas fair this Saturday coming (23^rd nov) I am still going to. I believe these two separate events could make or break my freelance business but this year has being mostly exploring and taking risks and so far it’s all paid off really well.

Sneak Peek at my new Illustration Friday submission that i plan to have done by wednesday

 

I usually do not show my super sketchy sketches because of my perfectionate mind but these are drawings based on my own characters who i have grown to adore and enjoy drawing more . Not as much as ponies but i am making space in my busy creative life to doodle them at least

until next Post LATERS ;)

Illustration Friday submission : Wind annoying Act

only managed to get a good rough tonal sketch done this time......... doh dart 

This Weeks theme was Energy

Unlike my last few submissions the only connection to the theme would be the old man with a wind turbine for a head. I was going with the idea of motion and movement and used some of my favourite poses from the last few newspapers I have collected as reference 

 Never expect anybody to get my deep ideas just appreciate the quirkiness and experimentation in my style.

Until next Post Laters   

Jowy Shenanigans 13/11/13 some new updates of sorts

I find myself getting up late on my days off from work because of how cold and damp its getting outside in the UK. I just want to stay in my bed for another 10 minutes but old man winter wind sends his cold air right up my back and wakes me up rudely.

About the Graphic design job……yeah… it may be temporary until Christmas and I do not want to put any information or twitter rants out there. Lets just say its been a good experience and I have improved on my design skills since I started there 8or 9 weeks ago. But come next year it would be best for me to find a better graphic design studio.

Big thing next Saturday

I am vendoring at the local craft fair Crafty Muthas Sat23rd in my local church. Preparation has been underway for the fair since last week all my prints and Xmas cards I designed have arrived and will be uploaded after the fair and yes some of them are pony related so stay tuned for those beauties. I am throwing in some BUCK prints and prints of my old art that got me started on the path to illustration). I have such an amazing story on how I got started as a young artist but I should save that for another day not enough energy to type it all out today lol also I am not a big head or Trixie lol.

little preview of the prints and cards i have reday for the fair the cards will be uploaded after or before the event have to see

Usually I would be going to the big comic con up in Leeds called Thought Bubble but to save time and money for my U.S con plans for next year. I am missing it this year a little sad :( about it obviously. But I have a bright creative future ahead: excited: and want to keep the distractions to a minimum if possible I still have not touched GTA 5 in weeks or caught up with my YouTube subscriptions. :nuu: :stupidme: 

I started livestreaming recently and I plan to do more in the coming weeks. My first experience was very positive, did not shut up for a whole three hours I love to talk sometimes folks if you know this blog you understand what I mean.

Because of all these shenanigans I have postponed the development on my Jowy web comic and Humanise.com, :no: which I am a little disappointed to stop But I have to concentrate on the markets I am currently involved in to break into something then nothing. Please still support and check out the projects on my DA account we will return to them soon enough it's not dead. :phew:
Plus I am making the effort with illustration Friday again so you can always see my :crazy: zany illustration style there.

have a cute pony  

Since starting my job at UK Print and media i have wanted to get back in to the habit of studying from life aka my journey to work. And the metro newspapers as there are so many helpful interesting references to use for practising realism these are three of the studies i have done in the last eight weeks third one i am least satisfied with but live and learn as Crush 40 say XD (only some will get that joke)

Until next Post LATERS ; )

Illustration Friday Submission: Street Secret Unlocked

This Weeks theme is.... Secret

As a previous full time gamer (when i was a teenager) .Secrets in platform games were always a win in my books whether it was bonus points or just a new puzzle to tackle always kept me occupied for longer in the world i was playing Rayman was the first game series i saw this happening. 

Like last weeks and future submissions the image is a mixture of real life studies from different  media with my crazy zany juxtaposing imagination.

get used to this style its staying :)

i hope to refine my digital painting skills in the future challenges i still have a very rough style when it comes to digital art usually.  

The value layer before I use overlay for the colour

until next post LATERS folks

Illustration Friday submission Saxy beast 31/10/13

This week’s theme was… Creatures

I had started to listen to a lot of Jazz at the start of last weekend and i wanted to incorporate that theme in to the piece somehow. It’s also a lot less refined then I would have liked it to be but that’s a sacrifice you have to make when you’re busy at real work.

The three young girls or sisters are copied from a newspaper I collect regularly. i tend to hold on to them  for great visual reference its a way to observe life while letting my crazy world blossom.

also heres the sketch i did before the final speed painting above.

until next post LATERS folks ;)
