Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat

Less than a month until I'm back at uni, but the temperamental art block continues. Here are a few things I've been working on in between the block.

I've been continuing my efforts with the Fireblade. A3 size, so I have to spend hours on detail. Probably end up being +48hrs on this.

Since buying Batman:The Animated Series a couple of days ago I've been watching it constantly, though her outfit here is the one from screenshots/concept art of Arkham City.

Incomplete piece as part of my Heaven & Hell project. I'm aiming for it to be a bit of a desolate stairway to heaven.

I've literally just stopped drawing this for the night morning. Almost painfully inspired by YiLee and Matteo de Longis (but no reference used). She's based off of two people I saw on a rather unusual trip to Brighton.

Dog Days

With free time comes more art block, it seems. While I have been drawing every day of my holiday (aside from 2 days that were spent painting the walls in my room), very little of what I've drawn has been worth completing. Still, I thought I'd share a few bits and pieces.

This is the start of a birthday gift for one of my friends. He's not allowed to see it, but he never checks here. It's not his bike, but it's the next one he's going to get, and drawing it pretty much entitles me to my own private chauffeur.

This is the sketch for a portrait of Sean Bean in his role as Eddard Stark that I did for my boyfriend's 21st. The finished version can be found here. It was my first time trying to create a likeness without direct photo reference.

Here is a prime example of what I spent my time doing this summer that I won't ever finish. I'll definitely be trying again in terms of another EA themed piece, though. I want to have something ready by the time she's on tour here again.

Lastly, because I'm pretty proud of the effort I put in and what a difference it's made, here's a before and after of my room :D

Phew. Long blog post. Now, back to work.
