Living In A Box

A place where inconsistency and idiosyncrasy reign and where time is wasted.
Mainly a not-very-active personal art blog.

Character practice/concept drawings with settled design on the bottom.

The character is supposed to be a snow leopard gijinka, for which I spent several hours researching about these big cats. Some fun facts I learned:

  • Snow leopards are endangered.
  • They can jump around 30 ft horizontally and 20 ft vertically.
  • They camouflage so well in their native environment that researchers have significant trouble observing them.
  • Despite being a big cat, they can chuff but cannot roar like their cousins the tiger.
  • Their scientific name, Uncia Uncia, is based off the Latin word for ounce.

PencilCat: 30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge

pencilcat:

Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D

I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants…

I stumbled upon M-A-G-E on deviantart and felt the urge to design a character, although I’d never apply in the near future.

My Minispris character Cirro. App picture is right and the previous concept art is on the left.

As a DA lurker, I don’t know if my app will make the cut. OTL

Wenette’s god/goddess bandwagon sounded fun so I tried drawing Hypnos, Greek god of sleep. I wasted some time getting the face right (although the head wings probably still look off); then when it came time to draw below the neck I remembered my inability to draw anatomy… and to color. So here’s a screen shot of the most acceptable portion of the sketch. I dub it, Hypnos Dozing by a Black Curtain (WIP) =P
