Here's a quick preview of one of the Soul Eater images I'm working on. Maka here is minus the portrait of Soul in the background, which I plan on doing and inserting today. And hopefully I can have absolutely everything I need to do finished by Friday morning.
Man, I'm really coming down to the wire on this thing.
Look for the finished image over at my Deviant Art account later!
More Soul Eater art, this time of Black Star with his partner Tsubaki. Death the Kid is next in line and I'm going to try and respect his personal aesthetic by drawing him in a symmetrical stance.
The three images will be done so that the can be separate pieces (with portraits of the weapon partners in the backgrounds), but can also be laid out as one long poster so that they interconnect by way of the iconic Soul Eater arrows stretching across all three images.
Still working on my Professor Stein cosplay. Hopefully it'll be done by Halloween, though it'll definitely be ready by November 12th for Izumicon for sure.
Oy, I need to keep a closer eye on this blog for comments and updates to the blogs I watch! This last month or so has been a very busy one, what with me trying to get my State Fair submission in on time, working on both art and a cosplay costume for Izumicon, and just trying to survive my regular Monday through Friday job in general.
Thought I'd pop in long enough here to upload a blue line sketch for one of my upcoming convention pieces - Maka with Soul, two of the main characters from the immensely popular anime series Soul Eater. I'll also be trying to do images of Black Star and Death the Kid, possibly Professor Stein. And I definitely have an image of Axel and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts in the works, which I'll post up at my Deviant Art account when completed.
That leaves me with one trade still in the queue, though that one will be a traditionally colored piece with Prisma colored pencils on toned paper.
Looking up information on the upcoming Oklahoma State Fair, I have until August 16th to register any artwork or photos I will be entering this year for free. I can hold off until September 1st if need be, but I'm not too keen on paying the late fee of $10. Doesn't sound like much, but hey... Ten bucks is ten bucks!
Photo-wise, I'll probably be submitting a few of the ones I took while on a trip to Portland, Oregon in March to visit with family. Art-wise, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to enter this year. Last year ended up being a total bust in terms of getting anything done... This year won't be a repeat.
I've dug up a fifteen year old childrens novel manuscript from a box of my old writing for inspiration. It's a story that will never be published and the original art that inspired it was stolen from me back in high school. I've thought time and time again over the years of redoing that old, lost image in my current style with my much improved skills. I think this year...will be the year to make that happen. And I'll submit that finished piece to the OK State Fair for their art competition.
