06/24/09 Update

I submitted my second entry to the masked_ball community and signed up for a third. I have it sketched, but it'll still be close. I also finished my first holiday pinup, so I'm pleased. I'm excited to keep it up.

My parents are coming to visit which will put me away from my computer from July 1-5. And there are a lot of projects coming to a close around then. Other than my last prompt, I'm trying to do a Truckstop Tramp submission over at the Hentai Factory.

I have lots of other paintings in the works, but those look to be the only on a deadline at the moment.

6/18/09 Update

Howdy! It's been a bit, but I promise I've been busy. I've updated my dA account with new Phantom art, been working my way through masked_ball submissions and opened an account over at Hentai Factory. I'm still try to get my first submission accepted (they are pretty strict on admissions) but I am hopeful that I'll be able to do more explicit art in the future.

There's a huge list of projects and contests that I'm working on including horned animals, the letter Z, fairytales, storytelling, scifi and steampunk erotica, a little something for the Fourth of July. So keep an eye out. ;)

6/4/09 More Sketches

I've been crazy busy artistically. Which is wonderful, but tiring.

My dA account has some new lineart in my new Phantom of the Opera style. Erik/Christine and Raoul/Christine.

I have the first half of my second submission to masked_ball done (though it still won't be out until July) and I'm very excited about the rest of it.

I'm in the final stages of the Ark Project (just finalizing text and formatting) and that will finally be done.

And I am absolutely in love with painting in black and white. Perhaps this is just something I missed developmentally, but it seems to help my technique significantly to work only in value. I did a couple of loose studies of noses and mouths, which are notoriously difficult for me and was pretty happy with them. :)
