Sketches by Grin

[Ozmic]

Here are just a few sketches of mine I've been working on lately. Most are done using my phone (Note 3), but I've done and plan to do a few on my PC as well. I'll update this thread as more come along.


They're thumbnails, so click on 'em for full size.


Hope you enjoy! Feel free to give (constructive) criticism and comments. =]

Updating - a work-in-progress of my take on Frankenstein's monster.

A quick sketch of Abe Sapien and a trace of Hellboy that turned out looking pretty meh. ><

Hi there, do you do any anime style like work?

I wish I could, haha.


Naw. Honestly this stuff is about my limit for artistic talent.

 

[Aldur]

Amazing!

 

[Ozmic]

[Alexandra]

Would it be improper to ask for more sketches, Grinson?

 

[Ozmic]

Not at all!


I'll try to find some time to get working on things again sketch wise. Been trying some new styles and things, new programs.


Might scan in a traditional sketch or two sometime soon as well. =]


EDIT: Speaking of traditional, I changed this thread to have the DIGITAL tag. I have no idea how it was set to TRADITIONAL (as these are all done on my phone for the most part), but it's fixed now.

I present... The Bride.


Inspiration by @Alexandra and that fantastical avatar.


My first jaunt into color using Sketchbook. 20 minutes in total.


Proportions are a tad off, but I like it regardless. (> )


 
As you can all see (or at least those of you on a computer and not mobile lol), I've uploaded a new avatar.


I originally created it to match the 200 pixel height, but found it to be WAY too big for my tastes, hence the changed up version I'm using now.


However, I figured 'why not upload the original' to show some more detail and whatnot.


Original:

Downsized (for those on mobile that can't see muh sig):

The only thing about the image that wasn't hand created are the fonts, obviously.


The grid was done in Illustrator first as a black lined grid, then imported into Photoshop where I colored it and added some fanciness and glow, giving it a neon feel. Behind it, I placed a black box to just make it 'pop' against the background.


The stars were created on a black background by rendering in noise using a PS filter. I made two layers of these: one with more noticeable stars and another with some different sized stars that I displaced a bit by messing with the levels.


As for the color in the back, I simply added a gradient, making it stretch from the middle into a 't' shape, then manually editing it out with a brush to achieve the desired effect.


The fonts were found at Font Squirrel and edited to my liking with some gradient effects, inner and outer glows and a stroke.


All in all, it probably took around 2 hours once everything was all said and done. owo

I *love* that signature. Magnificently evocative of the 80s, early videogames, electronic music.....basically quite a few things I enjoy. As well as being very good design. The | BEARD makes me giggle every time ~

Thank you so much! Basically exactly what I was going for with that. (And the |BEARD was a nice touch I couldn't resist.


Here's an added bonus: the background of just stars and the edited gradients. All that orange was just lines before I took the brush tool to it and made it kind've like... well, some sort've a space twister. Ahaha.

Just another goofy thing I've been working at on my phone. Experimenting with coloring and halfassed shading with the airbrush tool.


Fun times.

I love them all! ^^

 

[Ozmic]

Been a long time since I posted anything here at all! But I'm sorta' back and have been working on a few things art-wise.


Been fiddling around with a fun little webcam overlay lately and thought I'd toss it up!


(Higher quality picture incoming soon)

[Aldur]

That's a pretty neat overlay if I do say so myself. Nice work!

 

[Ozmic]

Here it is with a background to it and slightly bigger.
