WIP: Ashe the Frost Archer

My favourite to play as in League of Legends. 

I tried to draw her as a print for Anime Expo. Trying to incorporate more graphic design elements with illustration. Going for a norse mythology/elves and folklore kind of vibe. Combining semi-realism with art deco maybe?

Step 1: The first study of her, 

with my own palette and face from another painting

Step 2: reworked version, changed face to look more ethereal

and playing with foreshortening...

Step 3: Didn't like the feeling with the previous version...

SKOTD: uncasual Fridays

Casual business attire people! An illustration for a friend's website/company in development. So glad that artists don't have to be as dressed up for work as that chika on the right. #casualfridayeveryday

SKOTD: Alex the Cat

lyrics from a Hot Chip song -Alley Cats

These are a couple of quick colour keys of storybeats/boards for my thesis possibly done during a break at my internship!

Other News: I'm going to TCAF on Saturday! I went to the drink 'n draw on Wednesday night, and saw the screening of Tekkonkinkreet and Q/A session with Creator Taiyo Matsumoto, Director Michael Arias, & Screenwriter Anthony Weintraub!

It was a wonderful night tonight! I'm so inspired to just draw everyone I see! Check out my Instagram on the side for more TCAF related doodles and photos this weekend, or just doodles and photos from whenever!

SKOTD: 1st week at HoC

On the first Friday of every month, HoC has Wine and Cheese Fridays! 

And last Thursday was dessert Thursdays hehe. They're fattening us up! (jks)

Working in Toronto is really fun, and there always some kind of event to go to after work. So many restaurants to try out too! 

I think I will continue my dailies but post them in a dump on weekends from now on : )

A sketch of Sid and Manny and his family!
