Day 2 of heads! And I managed to stay focused longer so I was done sooner. I am seeing what my simplification language is and that is pretty cool. I'm hoping that starting a hardcore habit over the week will help keep me on track after I go back to work(hopefully?) next week. ______________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #100headsin10days #100headschallenge #sketchbook #sketch #dailysketch #studies #headstudy https://www.instagram.com/p/B94sCPRjmZl/?igshid=172quvmbsnq2j

I played D&D with my group today with my new character! I knew I wanted to play a bard and then I discovered the tabaxi. So here is Lore and they are basically a human sized version of my cat Sir Didymus. They currently are really fun to play so I an very excited going forward! _________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #charactersketch #characterdesign #costumedesign #digital #digitalsketch #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #tabaxi #bard #tabaxibard https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wzQKMDMv4/?igshid=1qtspwdc2qdpl

Inktober Day 10 - Pattern - My main is also a tailor so I have spent many an hour in the tailor shops across Azeroth perfecting my skills. Also I am a professional seamstress so this is fitting too! ________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #worldofwarcraft #inktober #Inktober2019 #sketchbook #sketch #ink #copic #tonedgrey https://www.instagram.com/p/B3d3etHDf0v/?igshid=xeyic89asd31

Day 9 - Swing - I definitely finished this yesterday but I forgot to post it! I really want a cute murloc plush like that! ________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #worldofwarcraft #inktober #Inktober2019 #sketchbook #sketch #ink #copic #tonedgrey https://www.instagram.com/p/B3d25awDotY/?igshid=14j743evpwsov

Inktober Day 1 - Ring - Surprising zero people I want to try and do 31 days of World of Warcraft fanart. Last night I was trying to brainstorm ring and I came up with the cloud serpent racing smoke rings. And also the fact that the cloud serpents also have a killer nose ring! Here is to consistency and hopefully finishing Inktober even if none of the pictures are good! ________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #worldofwarcraft #inktober #inktober2019 #ring #sketchbook #ink #copic #tonedpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FgD72DKbG/?igshid=pwj2893tpyid

Inktober Day 2 - Mindless - I'm always thinking about Sylvanas and her being turned into a banshee fit this theme really well, in my opinion. I added tulip petals floating because of the tulip field in her Warbringers short. Overall pretty pleased, I just need to give up on brush pens I'm never happy after the fact. But I am learning and just going for it which is more than I normally do! ________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #worldofwarcraft #inktober #Inktober2019 #mindless #sketch #sketchbook #ink #copic #tonedgrey https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IMeAyAiCs/?igshid=1nzk18uiqmsqp

So I haven't been drawing much, surprising no one. But I made a career jump recently that confirmed my suspicions that my current path is not the one I want to stay on. That means more drawing and setting up my design portfolio in a better way. I'm starting with Lup in my new setup because I love her and when I drew my base body something didn't seem right. Normally I would have scanned it and fiddled with in PS because it is easier, but my computer died last week so...post-it notes were my solution. It's really nice to finally be feeling out how to fix the issues of drawing that have been plaguing me and hopefully I will have more art to share soon! _________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #characterdesign #charactersketch #sketch #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/B220O6eDol7/?igshid=xmk53ezfovlp

"The Fifth Child" - I shared this on my twitter earlier because it's Evangelion day! I started this a million years ago after I took my husband through NGE for his first(and only he HATED it). I'm still pretty happy with this, though there are some problems. Part of me wants to go back and finish him and the rest of the kids I had plans for. I guess we will see! _______________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #evangelion #neongenesisevangelion #nge #kowaru #kowarunagisa #fifthchild #tabris #fanart #sketch #artistsofinstagram #instaart #dailyart #artoftheday #art https://www.instagram.com/p/By_v7eWgaBj/?igshid=b3pnw8ifng0

I haven't been doing a lot of art honestly because I'm scared of being bad, as counterproductive that sounds. So I decided to revisit Lup since I'm closing in on the endgame with building the costume and I wasnt happy with things. I'm happy with the design and her lineart! So I know it isn't perfect, but I did do my best and that's what is important. _________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #characterdesign #costumedesign #fanart #lup #luptaaco #thezonecast #theadventurezone #tazbalance #sketch #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys8yI0A0ND/?igshid=1kii23r92s9by

Got the rough colors laid down on my new character. I'm trying a new workflow for my digital work and I'm liking it so far. It's basically taking a lot of the techniques I learned from painting traditionally(thanks @davelebow) and just using the same process digitally. It's working well and I feel very comfortable with it. Gonna spend today refining her. I just love looking at her and her colors! _______________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #visdev #characterdesign #costumedesign #charactersketch #digital #digitalsketch #digitalpainting #pastel #mongolia #mongolian #mongolianinspired https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWzGwllQ5e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrewvx1hd1fi

Last night I went through some iterative designs for one of my main characters for this new project I made for myself. I came up with a starting point I'm excited about. Maybe we will get so progress on the actual character drawing today, but progress is progress! I also may take part of today to really figure out her hair/makeup situation so we will see! ________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #characterdesign #character #charactersketch #iterativedesign #costume #costumedesign #digital #digitalsketch #mongolian #mongolianinspired #futurefantasy #artistsofinstagram #instaart #dailyart #artoftheday #dailysketch https://www.instagram.com/p/BuEqrKdlZZN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17jreh6sn9lwe

I decided to start a new base project so I started noodling around with new character designs for my main character. I like the direction this going but I can imagine pivoting away from it as well. So I figured, "Hey, why not share it!" _________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #visdev #characterdesign #charactersketch #portrait #charactersketch #photoshop #digitalart #digitalpainting #artistsofinstagram #instaart #artoftheday #art #newdesertproject https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCCQ6HFxTt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pphqsdmarfld

Looking back on art I did last year and I rediscovered this gem from my failed attempt of Inktober last year. Can you tell I like #worldofwarcraft? _______________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #inktober #forsaken #undead #alchemist #inkdrawing #artistofinstagram #retrospective #sketchbook #blizzardentertainment #wow #art

So I haven't spent a lot of time drawing like I wanted to(I have been working on things, just not drawing things over on @zephyrmakesthings ) But I did the pencil sketch of my current costume project. I've been wanting to do a monster girl series and I got majorly fixated on my interpretation of a siren so that is where I started. I'm hoping I can get a couple more of the idea designed this month, but we will see! Happy first day of Halloween everyone! 🎃🎃🎃 _________________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #siren #monster #monstergirl #costumedesign #costume #characterdesign #charactersketch #nautical #navy #historybounding #historicallyinspired #monstober https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzzpx9DqHo/?igshid=1wsgpe6y2ulgb

Figured out some colors! I should tighten up the rendering a lot still, but the way I was going about it was starting to just smooth it out. I need to do some bark studies before actually finishing this guy up, but it is something! ____________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #trees #digital #digitalart #raqar #visdev #visualdevelopment https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lM8UsDpya/?igshid=481sar8vuc7d

Started on translating my tree thumbnails to sketches starting with my smallest of the three. I'm really excited with my stylization. I'm hoping to finish the sketches for all three tomorrow and maybe get to painting? Took almost 2 mothers of being home to get back to this project but I'm excited to make some headway. ____________________________ #zephyrdrawsstuff #thumbnails #trees #sketch #digitalsketch #visdev #environmentdesign #visualdevelopment #raqar https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gbkRRjiEn/?igshid=1akgp07qysz1o
