Moving along with our video tutorials I have decided to make a searies of short and simple tutorials.  So here is our next video, again available in 720p, just hit the fullscreen button should you need to see it a little more closely.

I am extremely lazy.. well, not extremely. I’m actually motivated to draw by my addiction to the new Alice movie, but I still haven’t come around to blogging again. In my defense, I’ve just picked up Yeti’s manflu, so now I’ve got Kitnflu… well, you get the idea.

But regardless of flu, I did manage to finish another piccy, and I made it big enough so that it can be printed at some point in time and not look completely like pixelated rubbish.

It’s 10 at night, just finished this and too lazy to post it up properly, so this will have to do again XD

Just a quickie since I’m too lazy to make a full post. I shoved it on my deviant page instead until I can make a proper post.

It’s been a long time since we posted a tutorial so here we go! this time in video for in HD!  If the video is too small you can hit the full screen mode and it will still look nice and crisp (unless you have a 500″ monitor!).

We hope you enjoy the video and any feedback is appreciated!

Let us know if you prefer the video to the old style of images.

Okay okay, I got lazy again with the whole posting thing… …and the art thing … and I will use the excuse of work again.

But hey!  I did draw and post eventually!  And here it is!

I’m still trying to find my style, though I’m shifting towards the cell-shadey cartoony look.  I made another iteration of the Yeti.  I don’t think I’ll ever get a finalized look for him, but I’m trying.

So here’s my fuzzy-wuzzy-kins (I’m married, so I totally get to talk like that).

If you’re into your World of Warcraft you would know there has already been a few people hopping aboard the WoW battering ram to cash in.  Now it’s Creative’s turn with the new Sound Blaster Headset.

I’m not one for picking up WoW merchandise, but these do actually look really nice (not sure about comfort though as they are due for release on the 15th Feb 2010 which is only a few days away!).

It may just be a gimmick, but you can change the colour of the headset by using a the software supplied, so you can be a pink alliance, or a green hordie.  It also mentions additional lenses in the coming future (I would like baby murloc heads on mine).

For more info on all the features check it out here.

More reason to scream at the guy playing unnecessarily loud music on the raid vent servers…

Well, another day being trapped by the ice hill from hell.  Ah well, all that’s fun and snowy ends, since the temperature has been steadily climbing, I’ll no doubt be back at work by tomorrow.  But till then, I managed to do another sketch and color of the promised Disney girl.  If you recognize the post title or have kept up from the previous post, you’ll know just who it is I drew today.

So, me and the Yeti got snowed in out of work today (basically, our car would’ve been playing bumper cars with the other parked ones if we actually got it to move).  Seeing as we were going nowhere, I actually had the urge to do another Disney Princess sketch.  Another favorite, moreso than Ariel, is Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

When I was a kid, I adored how headstrong and smart she was, and how she loved books, just like I did.  I had even read the Disney book of Beauty and the Beast before I had watched the movie (and at seven, I still bawled my eyes out at both reading and watching the ending bit… gah, such a romantic).  I watched the movie so much (when I eventually got the VHS of it) that I could literally recite all of Belle’s lines as I watched the movie.  I know… so sad.

Anyhoo, on to the drawing!

So, I got an awesome Christmas present to help me get try to get back into drawing.  As an added bonus, I went splurge crazy with my Christmas money and bought a few art books to try to supplement me getting back into the art habit.  One of the books I happened to pick up was this:

It’s a gorgeous book (that I highly recommend to purchase) of different artists’ take on the Disney Princesses (another self-confession of girly-ism from me, I still adore some Disney Princesses).  This book gave me some inspiration to just start out on some simple sketches, and instead of trying to wrack my brain for a completely new image, I’d start out simple and just do renditions of characters I like.  So, here’s my first entry into getting back into art, inspired by the art from the aforementioned book.
