Here's a first 'draft' of the finished black & white. The next step is composing the surrounding image. I'm not totally satisfied with the right foot somehow. To view a version without the sketch layers, head over to my Flickr photostream.

In terms of changes, note the following: (1) reworked upper-left-forearm, (2) shifted entire upper-right-arm upwards and rebuilt shoulder, (3) rebuilt lower-right-arm's shoulder to try and show a full process instead of just 'plugging' it in, (4) fixed the left calf to properly align the muscles with the center line, (5) assorted other fixes.

So more ink-work (obviously this is all digital, so 'ink' here just refers to the black outlining). Just to show how it looks 'clean', I've hidden the sketch layers.

New work: redid the upper right shoulder (I'm not positive on it yet), resised the lower left hand, and did inking on both right arms.

The first stages of inking.

An updated sketch. Note the movement of hte left foot (so that the flow seems more natural). The purple sketches indicate the clothing/accessories that help to show motion.

First sketch for a siva-like character. I like the energy in its contortion, though I'm not convinced yet about his left leg/foot's position.

(got my clerkship today! Back to Miami for 2007...first time I'll be living there in awhile...)

Drastic improvements. Note the much improved hand/feet detail and proportions.

Another physical drawing, not from the tablet. This one is from last year.

This is a bit old: 2004. Since I've switched to Flickr, I'm uploading some older drawings.

If you're linked to the Flickr page, be sure to use the buttons on that page to navigate to the higher resolution images if you're interested.

Flickr

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Okay, here's the full sized latest version.

I've moved over to Flickr, unfortunately having to pay there too (at least I can keep stuff at full resolution there).

I've decided I'm only going to link full resolution images for final copies, but if you're really eager you can go find my flickr account where they're public.

Thumbnail of new work

Photobucking is screwing me...they've altered their rules so now (a) the higher resolution image hosting costs money, and (b) even that wont house my full resolution images. Very irritating. Plus, blogspot doesn't seem to want to do so either.

New pic

This one is from a model, and she doesn't want her face online. Unfortunately, most of the work done so far is on the face, which makes posting it ironic.

Been awhile since a post.

Delayed drawing

I forgot to post this when I drew it a few days ago.

More of a painting style. This is the cropped image. The link to the uncropped image is here too.

No explanation

Here's the basic coloring of the new pic, along with the ink outlines.
