Sketches and WIPs

Dark and Light (wip-textures) by chlorophyta

Sat, 31 May 2008 02:51:42 -0000

Work in progress. At this point I'm mostly just playing with textures on different adjustment layers and using masks to erase them in some places. There's also a multiply layer on top of the textures that fills in the darkest darks so far with a dark purple. I really like how it looks at this point and thought I'd share before I go and 'ruin' it with color. XD Textures from Nighty-stock on DA and Mayang.

Quick and Dirty Balance Tutorial by chlorophyta

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:08:26 -0000

Basic balance information for drawing bipeds. Digitigrade is harder because we're used to seeing people walking around on two legs. I feel like this is incomplete. Please ask questions so I can add to this and refine it in the future!

103107 werewolf by chlorophyta

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:31:22 -0000

This page sponsored by Calorath! Inspired by MissMonsterMel's incredibly awesome werewolf costume. I sat outside and drew this while handing out candy last night until the mosquitoes started ignoring the bug spray. Then I went inside and played with markers on it.

102807 pheonix by chlorophyta

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:28:47 -0000

This page sponsored by Calorath! I was hoping to maybe finish this one, despite its flaws, but it's been a couple days, and I dunno. Sometimes I like my work in a less refined state, anyway. I used to draw pheonix's all the time in high school... seriously, ALL THE TIME. Not sure why I don't anymore.

102807 kodi by chlorophyta

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:24:25 -0000

This page sponsored by Calorath! A couple sketches of Angyl's Shar Pei, Kodi. I probably would have drawn a lot more of her except we went to Denny's for breakfast (at 1pm) and Kahlil and I left orlando straight from there. Crazy looking dog, and much smaller than you'd think if you're not familiar with the breed. Love those potato chip ears. XD

102807 3littlepigs by chlorophyta

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:11:27 -0000

This page sponsored by Calorath, Thank you! Since Kahlil and I normally get up between 6-7am, we woke up before 10 at Lynn's house even though we'd been up til three or four. Unfortunately everyone else there slept until about 1pm, so we had some time to kill. XD Kahlil played Geometry Wars on their xbox, and I drew a wolf that looked big and bad, so I gave him some piggies to torment.

102707 Toby Morgan by chlorophyta

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:06:47 -0000

This page sponsored by Digitalis in person, because they are her children. XD Thanks, Lynn! <3 Everybody and their brother was over at Lynn's place this past Saturday for big partything, and I drew Lynn's corgis, Toby (top) and Morgan before the party got too out of hand. I broke ShinigamiGirl's blue alcoholic drink on the tile floor. Then we had a treasure hunt for broken glass and I got very well acquainted with Lynn's kitchen floor. Good Times.

102607 cheetahs2 by chlorophyta

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:00:26 -0000

This page sponsored by MissMonster, Thanks Melly! Since the first two cheetahs were both drawn facing my 'default left,' I decided to try and break my pattern and make these guys both face right. They've got a much more refined edge than the first two, and I think I like them better overall. =3

102607 cheetahs1 by chlorophyta

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:58:03 -0000

This page sponsored by MissMonster, Thanks Melly! Top cheetah was drawn Thursday night, bottom one drawn Friday afternoon. Trying to get the same feel as the top one, but more stylized and refined. And of course, they are both facing left...

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:09:42 -0000

This page sponsored by MissMonsterMel, Thank you, Melly! This one's not as refined as most of the stuff I post, and I debated whether to post it at all, but I like the expressions. Hey, I can draw retarded stuff now and then.

102507 greenhug by chlorophyta

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:07:11 -0000

This page sponsored by MissMonsterMel, Thank you, Melly! Green hadn't been drawn with four arms in a while, so it had to be done. I also really like my current haircut, and gave him something like it, even though he doesn't usually have 'hair'... he doesn't seem to mind, though.

102407 papasan by chlorophyta

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:04:10 -0000

This page sponsored by MissMonsterMel, Thank you, Melly! Ursula Vernon posted in her Livejournal today about a papasan in her apartment that has become the world's largest catbed. Apparently, her cat is not the only cat who appreciates such things, as I observed last wednesday. It was strange that there was not a cat there. By the way, that is a cat bed under the papasan, and yes, Lmao will happily use both. Rofl is more picky about sleeping places and will sleep in the papasan but not the cat bed. Sometimes they double-decker.
