Weretober '22 Entry Nine: Weapon

Orc WT22 Entry Eight

Gryphon WT22 Entry Seven

Weretober '22 Entry Six

This challenge hasn't placed me in a great mood; I intent to complete it, but don't believe one day images accurately represent my skills...I also want to finish another graphite illustration, but....

Dragon WT22 Entry 5

I'm impressed with how quickly I can cover a sketch, but the rendering leaves much to be desired; I wish I had additional time to refine this piece, but the daily prompts force me onto the next. At...

Gargoyle WT'22 Entry Four

I wasn't in the best mood yesterday, so settled on a more constructional sketch.

Thus far, this challenge has gone as I initially feared: it's time intensive, with virtually no social reward,...

Weretober Day Three: Jellyfish

I hate how my art changes appearances when I export it from Procreate; I've had this problem since I started digital art, yet it doesn't seem to affect other artist...

Also, my laptop's curre...

Orca Creature Design, Weretober '22 Day 2

Solgosulf from Project TOWEB; Weretober '22

This is the one of, if the not the first conceptual illustration of Project TOWEB's main protagonist; I've wanted to expound on his story for years, but, akin to Project B.E., it constantly slips b...

Stellar Vows Piano Melody

After a month long composition, this melody was relatively quick to complete: to create an echo, t'is deliberately redundant. 

Now, onto strings to demonstrate what I learned from Bach.<...

Project Dream Promotional Illustration

I admit, I'm not highly motivated...after years of academic study and over a thousand technical drawings, my art remains inadequate...if only I had a few skilled friends, colleagues, or peers to co...

Study of Bach's Fugue in G Minor

After a month, I'm glad this study's finally finished; I learned quite a bit, though am eager to return to original orchestration.

Male Figure Study

A male figure study, performed with standard graphite and paper.

I genuinely enjoy academic studies, however, whenever one's created, I feel as if I robbed time from the narrative illustratio...

Master Copy of Bouguereau's Young John the Baptist

Forgive the delay, the last few days were a massive distraction, to say the least, however, I manage to finalize the purchase of my first vehicle, which, I hope, can be used to generate additional ...

Proto Primate Anthirion Study

This initially began as a one hour creature sketch, but I couldn't resist the urge to render it; though I've no story to pair the species with, and the concept's needs further refinement, I enjoyed...

Digital Still Life Study

Another exercise to better my color comprehension and rendering skills; I'll likely complete another, basic, master copy, afore I attempt another original piece.

Study of Bach's Figue in G Minor

Master copies are oft reserved for painting studies, however, they may also improve my musical compositions if duplicated and/or adapted into a complete orchestration; I'm especially eager...

Carbon Female Figure Study

I returned to carbon pencils and newsprint, however, the tactile experience was far from what I remembered; it seems my preferences have outgrown my first traditional materials...now how'll I used ...

Gorilla Study

Performed with standard graphite and paper, this gorilla study was completed over sev'ral days in one to three hours sessions while I worked on Calion's more ambitious piece.

I wish my confid...

Calion Character Illustration Work in Progress

Buffalo Study

This study, akin to many others, reminded me I've still much to learn...though, what should come next? Digital art in color should be practiced,  though I become anxious when my traditional sk...

Elevate

This piece required more time than expected, I'm thankful it's finally finished.

Graphite Ursine Portrait

I'm relatively confident in my ability to create monochromatic art with dry media, though have gradually become bored and d...

Copy of Taran Fiddler's "Rescue Mission"

A copy of Taran Fiddler's Rescue Mission, created in procreated.

This study helped familiarize rendering digitally in color, however, it must be posted publicly on Patreon since it belongs to...

Elevate Piano Melody

Male Figure Study

A male figure study drawn with graphite on Strathmore 400, mainly created to re-kindle my confidence after my latest failure.

"Dusk in the Wilds"

My art never ceases to surprise me; just over a week ago, I finally managed to create an impressive, realistic creature portrait, yet, when I attempt to apply my skills to the digital medium in col...

Project Ballad Conceptual Illustration, Progress Shot

I want this to be my most ambitious, and successful, piece yet, though it may take longer than usual to complete.

For your patience, thanks in advance,

Jaivin

Taken Portrait

For, perhaps, the first time, I was able to depict a realistic, biologically feasible creature as I initially envisioned it; I've still much to learn and do, but am proud of what this piece represe...
