NannerFiveEyeMonster

The simplicity of this one shouldn't be understated. It was one of the first times I ever opened Inkscape with only the most vague idea of where to go. I basically sketched this one out inside the program.

Trying some new things with eyes. I plan on doing something similar to this for the upcoming vectortuts+ character design showcase. Guess I had better get started on that...

NannerLotus


Finished yesterday's lotus flower. It took a bit longer than expected, but I'm really pleased with the end result. Today's new sticker is based on a quick sketch of a lunar moth. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I needed the right context.

NannerChocoboGirl

Channeling the awesome ideas of the people at TokiDoki. This sketch needs some refinement before it gets to be a vector. For now, I have some Photoshoppery that should get finished before work begins tomorrow. Lotus flower and Chocobo should post tomorrow.

Nostalgia

A request. With the basic shapes in place, I have something I can make into a sticker. Gonna have some fun with this one.

Thoughts are a bit disjointed at the moment, but I've been looking into something new with isometric grids. Spoilers: it's Disgaea-related! I hope this time I can actually follow through and make it happen.

Heard of this Pokemon Conquest game? I need to play this right now. Thanks, Audrey Drake.

Double Sticker Day!


I like what happened with both of these. And, you know, they both took a lot longer to do than expected.
Clefairy in the tall grass is definitely one of my favorite stickers so far. It was a challenge to put everything together, but previous experiences allowed me to match the final product to my original vision. I can't say that's how it always works out.
The spiral was just a lot of fun to make because it didn't turn out all that well at first. There was a ton of visual tension and strange points from all of the path edits and resizing that occurred. What came out was a very fun and interesting design.

Empty yourself...



It was a good day for art. I caught up a bit on vectors and updated my Dhalsim sketch. I can already see some improvement to my creativity (if that makes sense).

Sketchbook pages are filling up...

Couldn't get to the vector portion of tonight's stickers. But these ideas are coming up a lot more easily than usual. I'm going to go ahead and recommend "Keys To Drawing With Imagination" by Bert Dodson. Seriously, check it out if you want to flex your creativity.
