014 Air Master

For today's lunch sketch I tried coloring in sketchbook, unfortunately the version I have is a bit limited with what it can do so I hit it with photoshop when I got home. Though I only added the BG textures and rim light glow and adjusted the balance

I wanted to push a pose so I went with a scene from Air Master. A hit and miss sort of anime series but I enjoyed the Manga immensely

013 To the Coliseum

Some daily sketching before bed.
The Coliseum armor from Monster Hunter Tri.

011 Aeon Rank up

Season's Greetings.
I've been reworking yesterday's Sketch. After some editing it turned out okay though I think it suffers a little due to a lack of definite light source. Kind of wished I'd started with a more polished sketch:)

007 The Pugilist

Hmmm... So I asked my friend what I should draw for lunch today. He said something about a humanized Barracuda fighting something...

006 Jinouga Armor

Some Monster Hunter armor for today's daily.
I used to play this game for ridiculous amounts of time
So much detail in the designs Capcom did for this game. I can't believe I was sketching one of these in a day a few years back.

Since I still had them in the file I thought I'd throw up the process as well

Midnight channel quickie with Persona 4's Yukiko Amagi.

I'm going to use this as my first for some dailies.
I probably won't complete a new pic each day but I will at least work on something every day and upload it regardless, even if it's just a work in progress.
I was going to wait until the new year but now seems as good as any time to start:)
Lets seen how long this lasts

Chesecake is magic :edit Uncut

Just getting this out of the system. Cheesecake always makes my day. Done live over a couple of weekends. Thanks to those that stopped by.

Could have used more work in the layout but I was trying to reference another pic.

New work commitments have reduced my drawing time but I'll still draw when I can.

Edit: after some feedback I revisited the piece. Comes together a little better now :)

A quick tonal sketch of Samus and a friend to finish up the day.

Thanks Kurtis for the feedback on this one
