Still Free

i ended up colouring much more of this, but it took an extra 80mins so here's the roughest splash of stuff for this wannabe Haven movie poster. I want to try and do more fanart in this poster-looking style. It's good practice for me to work on my eye for composition, and a nice way for me to journal and wear my fandom on my sleeve.

In July i've been working on developing a format to open commissions. I got 4 portraits done of OCs belonging to friends. Learnt a lot through trial and error for how to engage with what someone wants, and how I should streamline the design queries and get the illustration done too. That has been my focus, as well as gradually getting better with my redbubble. I'm trying to post something every week on either Friday or Saturday, however I was delayed last week and only uploaded something today.
annnddd, to my surprised my Ezio pixel designs are visible! My submission was approved, and I now have a Fan Art Artist badge of achievment on my profile! Woohoo! Hopefully it will help get eyes on my store. 
hoping hoping hoping~

in unrelated matters, Haven! I just finished playing Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden yesterday. I've wanted these poster-ready designs of fan art for games that I like to be an ongoing personal project. In Banishers the two protagonists have really intricate designs. And very realistic-looking. It felt a bit steeper of a challenge than I wanted to comfortably attempt tonight, so I went for another great couple in a video game. I've been meaning to draw these two for a long time. I actually wanted to design some stickers for them to put on redbubble before I read up on the IP and unauthorised fanart policies. 

I really loved this game. 
I'm still not sophisticated enough to articulate the things I loved so much about it. I need to post here more to work on my writing. Actual writing. Not just typing like I am now. Creative writing, and read up on it.
