Class Pictures

In one of my illustration classes this semester, our final project is to make pictures of everyone in the class and put them together in a yearbook page. The catch? It has to be all in Illustrator! This pissed me off to no unbelievable end the first few days of working in class. Not to mention that to work on this project, we're using the gorgeous Cintiq tablets in class and I couldn't help but sit there imagining all of the better uses I could be putting it to. Now I'm rather enjoying it though. Here are the fruits of my labor thus far (that I'm happy with, anyway). 15 more to go! Hoshit...

Enjoy!

Sketchies

Here's a dump of some of the sketchies I've been working on (on the cintiq~). The first one is just a progress picture of one that I posted before. The second is Mako but in the way my friend plays her as a character. The last one is Lizzy playing the flute in the rose garden (inspired by the song Queen of Argyll).

Enjoy!

Aw, bugger...

Well, dear reader, it turns out that I have missed the kitty girl deadline. Story of my life, I suppose. I'll still finish up the girls I have going and post them within a few days as I rather liked how they turned out. I will also be contemplating a different art challenge I can put on myself over winter break. ...Any ideas?

Love,
Megan

Neko, Neko, Cat!

So my friend Thea (you might know her better as Retrofool) introduced me to this art collaboration: Choose A Cat, Draw A Girl!! Basically, it's a bunch of cute cat-thingies and the artist has invited others to turn them into girls (though, I think I saw some boys in there too hehe) all of which will be put together at the end of two weeks. My character design senses are tingling! Really excited to embark on this project and will be shortly after finishing this post. Hopefully will have some examples up in a few days.

Love 'n Stuff,
Megan

Oh, the Geekery!

I have been playing mass amounts of BESM lately and as a result, obsessively drawing characters that my friends and I have created (and feeling like a massive dork but that's to be expected). I'm not sure how much of a good thing it is but the ammount of doodling increases proportionately with the amount of gaming in my life. Here's a sample of a few of them:





(one of mine and the most recent in creation. Her name is Elizabeth and LOVE HER!)

(worked so hard not to make him look too effiminate... ah well.)

This probably makes Lizzy look like a bit of a playa... It's a long story.

So that's that! I won't go into too much detail about the characters themselves as this is only a sketchdumb so to speak. I'll probably elaborate further in the future. Hope you enjoyed looking as much as I did drawing them!

Enjoy!

Let's start off with a proper introduction

Hello and welcome to my umpteenth attempt at a blog! I am your host, Megan! I am a 20-year-old art student living (at home) and going to school in the lovely, drunken city of Milwaukee. I am the proud owner of two cats, a vast plethora of art supplies, a few items of foam weaponry (we'll get into that later), a handful of good friends and a rather bawdy sense of humor. I have come to this lovely internet place to share with you my art, my geekery and my musings on life. So enjoy yourselves, look around for a bit (especially at the links located to your right) and hopefully come back soon!

Love and Luck (because I'll need it to stick to this blog),
Megan
