Update

I updated the site’s look, but that’s not everything.

Personally I’ve been updated to Count K v1.2 with a new apartment, a student’s internship at the local art committee (which sounds cool, but is probably mistranslated. Come see the Digitally Yours-exhibition in April. Digitally Yours. Digitally Yours!) and no free time at all because of a)having to get rid of car and b)currently having no internet connection. I have precious little time to work on my own projects, so no updates on Regicide promised.
If I walk myself patiently all the way to school, I have access to a scanner and my mail though. So there should be no change in the chaotic (ha ha) pace this little art page grows.

Update on 02.03.2007: Count K v1.2.1 with internet connection released.

Jellyfish man <3

He’s an old a(c)quaintance too. One I should very much like to see in 3d one of these days… evil laughter.

Helmet detail


Simple and clean.

Armor design

For my four-armed insect man species.

Infomercial


It’s official, she can 3d-cheat.

Meaning - the eyes are not even attached to the eye lids. But I’m slowly getting there. I AM!

Rant

Why can’t Photoshop even try to be more tablet compatible? Lovely program otherwise, but really.
Not that this piece of a junk tablet I’m trying to use is any good either, but this is getting just hilarious.
Corel Painter Classic was the perfect program for painting, alas, it had no layers.
Now that they have layers, it’s still unimaginably difficult to export pictures with decent transparency, at least if you work with almost all aquarels, as I do with my attempts at coloring.

Doesn’t help at all that turkuamk doesn’t provide us with real media imitating software. Trying to draw with Photoshop is like trying to oil paint with a ballpoint pen.
I expect a fun 6 months trying to compile my thesis from various 30 day trials. The simple, fantastic painter classic that comes with wacom tablets doesn’t work with a windows fresher than 140 bc. Too late to go linux now. Or is it?
Anyway, rant ends here, and tomorrow I have a job interview; over and out.

Anax Imperator

wheee

What am I doing? First I put in tons and tons of color and then I put a saturation layer on top of it all, turning everything down to zero.

I need to get me a colorist and an inker.
Finished, big-ish, 1st half of a two-part character design doodle.

Snowing


I know what he’s doing. You don’t XD
Oh, and in case this picture looks odd, he’s sitting on some kind of a… hairy animal?

Pencil, photoshop and boredom.

Claaws

Pencilled talons
I found some old detail design for claws. Or rings.
What was it I said earlier about these endless accessory doodles…? ^^;;
There’s another version, in pencil and a bit of aquarels in the flickr thingie, if you care to browse.

Cinder


Original character design for a future comic (the same one I mentioned before).
Prints huge. Finished work.
