New project concept

Bluuseas Posted by Bluuseas at 11:10 PM on October 26, 2009 Comments comments (0)

I always have too many ideas going at once. 


Recently I discovered an artist whose work is very interesting to me, she doesn't ink her work and just leaves it as clean pencil linework. Her work is also super detailed which I find impressive. Anyway I was reading her FAQs and tutorial and decided to give the style a try.  I'm going to try and do pics of at least all four girls in this style, each one more detailed/stylized versions of their weapons.  I might do Andrew too but I'm not sure.


I've got one of the girls started but due to the massive amount of detail work It might be a while before I share any of the images.


I'm still working on the large cocoa inn pictue as well as the giant project for my current client.  I also have an upcoming project starting sometime in November but I don't know what that one will be just yet.

Upcoming Updates to the site!

'Ello all!


Over the next few days I'm planning a mass upload of sorts.  I've decided to merge all the sketches and images I've been posting on my Pirate Blog here.  I'll still be posting on there but I felt it couldn't hurt to post them here too. I also plan to start posting backhistories on to that blog but I won't be posting those on this site for various reasons.


I'm also going to try and add more to the descriptions of the work I post here because, frankly, I hate looking at other people's work and not have any sort of idea of what they were going for.  Plus I think being better informed about a work encourages more comments.


I've also been considering perhaps creating a forum on the site. I think this might aid in gaining new members as well as garner some more feedback from existing ones.  At the moment there are only 7 members total (including myself) so I don't know if I should wait a bit on it.  What does everyone think? A good idea or a crazy one? Let me and as always, thanks for looking guys!

Been Busy

I've been very busy as of late working on two different freelance projects.  One of them is for my awesome regular client J. Snyder, doing some more fun character designs for him.  This time it's princesses! I'll be sure to post some of the finished work up on here so everyone can see but that might not be for a bit.  The other project I'm really not at liberty to discuss.  Suffice to say it's for a UK client and once the project is done I can give out more information on it.


Not long ago I joined a great little art community on Ovation Tv.  If you're an artist of any sort you should check it out.  A lot of great people on there and, unlike deviantart and some other sites, they're mostly older folks who have been creating art their whole lives.


I haven't had much to update with recently but once I have these freelance projects finished I should have more time to do some of my own stuff!

Long time no post

Well it's been ages since I've updated anything, useful or otherwise, on here.  But look I'm not dead!  I have, however gone through quite a lot since my last post.

I'm now living in Cocoa Beach Florida with my boyfriend and his papa.  Only been here like a month but so far I'm enjoying it a lot.  Currently though I'm suffering from a bladder infection (lucky me)

I'm also about to start a rather large comic project with a client of mine, possibly even ranging to ten books.  I'm also still in the preliminary stages of my own comic project now with the added help of my boyfriend's story crafting skills.

New Look

I've given the site a new look, I think this one feels a lot crisper.  I'll get the web store up and running here soon, just need some decent pictures of my products.

New Art!

Move complete.  I'm now based in New Albany, IN.  My new place is nice and all I need now is some work.  I hope to get a personal project done and posted soon.

I'm here.

As soon as I have something to say I'll post something.  For now picture tiny blue hamsters dancing on your desk.
