aLDoDarK- hey whaddoya know. seems like everyone's on CA these days. thanks dude! C:

r y a n o i r- ;D you should join me sometime. we could sell souls together.

~~

sorry about all the white space... the character concepts will remain forever unfinished. animating isn't my thing, either, so feel free to mercilessly tear all of it to infinitesimal shreds. I don't mind. some clients just don't understand when you tell them "I'm an illustrator, not a fucking animator." blargh. I'm fated to learn everything the hard way. good thing.

[skMOP]

You do whatever work comes your way right? Haha
The animations look really smooth though.

[Jaytea]

skMOP- the key is usually that you find the more tolerable work/clients. |D;; this particular guy was a little...... not right. thanks though~~ all of those were a pain and took way longer than they should have orz;;; although I somewhat learned how to use ps's animating tools.

[Jaytea]

I always found artblogs quite silly. so I've decided to make an... inspiration-blog. take it however you want.

also I forgot to upload the more refined interface concept.
so.
there it is.

[Jaytea]

by the end of summer I will reach page 15. by myself.

woop I guess it means one-picture-a-post.

[gutss]

[Jaytea]

r y a n o i r- DUDE IT'S BAND CAMP I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT GDI YOU'RE GOING TO WIN

kingkostas- ahah thank you man =u= designing characters is loads of fun I didn't know I could have.

Walid- thanks bro, but you should be submitting to your sb instead of spending time on mine :b

gutss- n___n; ty~~ I feel like my faces are getting kinda wonky because I've been trying to draw from my head more rather than life or reference and that usually means screwing proportions, shapes, forms, etc.

WHAT A GRAND IDEA WOT WOT n___n;;; I'm just... not entirely sure how to set goals ie like 30 poses/day or like 12 portraits/day or something like that??

~~

hrrrrmmmmm I had two more pictures in that last post that didn't show up... ou well here they are. augh everything I post is a WIP...

[Jaytea]

........... and pretty much sacrificed all spare time whatsoever.

yeah ;_____;' but no more driver's ed classes! hah!







/sneaks off to practice saxophone

[ryan mcshane]

i like this boys large penis

saxaphone?! NOOOOO IT GOING TO DESTROYYY YOUUUUU
it's okay though, just play it when you can, but keep your art at a higher priority than saxaphone aiight? D:
keep up brahh

[jordyskateboardy]

Whoo you got insane dedication for a 15 year old. Really impressive and you got some pretty awesome stuff allready. I´m especially digging your sketches. It´s great to see you avoiding stiff poses and aiming for some realistic body action allready. Stick to that. As for your digis you colours are quite unatural. Try and use the HSB sliders in photoshop and play around with changing the saturation and blending different hues into your colours. It´s hard to truly explain but basically look at reall life and see how colours work. For now your colours tend to be a bit monochrome and saturated. Play with shit like different polarizations in your highlights in shadwos. For example a kinda blue highlight along with a very warm reddish shadow. Keep em coming.

[Jaytea]

r y a n o i r- gdi that guy was originally sitting you know broski :T

haha art will be a higher priority only because I have summer art homework orz;;;

jordyskateboardy- thanks so much man n____n; I'm actually kind of happy that the trying-for-more-natural poses were pointed out... that's exactly what I'm attempting D:

thanks for the digi tip too--I guess I hadn't fully realized it until you said it but monochrome is kind of a crutch for me especially with imaginative work... I either make it monochromatic or ~~colorful~~

~~

selfy.... in pretty much the same angle as every other one of my sps like. ever. -shot-












[I blame the fact that I can only look at the mirror and my monitor from that angle comfortably.]

so manry.

[Samszym]

First I was like "this person's pretty good" And then I was like "woah this person's 15!?!" and now I'm like "dang I need to practice more". You've improved miles from page 1, keep it up!

[ryan mcshane]

oou pretty jaytea
you nailed your self portrait nicely!
you look pretty :3

[Jaytea]

Vertical- thanks so much man! but I have to admit there are too many other young artists that are waaaaaay over my level orz; I need to practice more.

r y a n o i r- haha thanks... orz;; although I think it still looks a bit manry.

~~

more driver's ed doodles and some art class crap.

[ryan mcshane]

those last 2 studys are great bro! i think you should get your head into dynamic figure drawing by hogarth and start to do more dynamics brah! NOOOOWWW GOO GOO GOO!! woo

[Bombur]

Good work, especially on the self portrait.

Work on making your pencil strokes less furry. Draw loong lines

[Jaytea]

r y a n o i r- hurpdurdur will do bra.

Bombur- thanks! oy, forgot about line quality. gettin a little screwy. should fix that up D|

~~

1am doodly and a forgotten wolf animation for the game.

[Jaytea]

summer homework. mmmreh.

[Jaytea]

cleaned up the hand a little... not entirely happy with this, but I think the narrative gets across and I'm just ok with that for now e____e; euuuugh I'm too tired to draw late at night anymore and get stuff done.


the characters: Korba, boy standing, Farthen, faded on the right, and Shalite, foreground on the lower right. they each have their own story about lying to others about themselves, but also in turn lying to themselves even more. ie the boy almost killed his father, instead ran away to live by himself so he wouldn't have to deal with him anymore. Farthen, the guy that might be dead whose ghost is sorta there, who says he was Shalite's father, but he isn't. and Shalite, who thinks that by drowning in a Spring and therefore restoring magic for others to obtain will somehow make her life worth something.

[ryan mcshane]

come on jaytea, push those boundarys, get out of your comfort zone! DRAW SOME NOT THE SAME LOOKING FACES / PEOPLE!!
keep it up, i want to see new characters and weird/different people man, and HOGARTH NOW!

[kingkostas]

really good work in your self portrait.The rendering is very good and i would like to see it also in these imagination works.Not an accurate lighting but the way you rendered your values.Also as in 415# thats a rendering where you seem to know better where you are going.For now the last one seems a little rough.In overall you are doing great, so keep up the good work!!!

[Jaytea]

r y a n o i r- haha geez ;____; I think the best cure to my same-faces is moar referencing [which will be on the way dw], because the ones I pull from my head are made up of traits from references that I picked up and reinforced into habit... I actually felt for a long time that if I didn't draw my characters the same way all the time they would look different when I drew them and no one would recognize them. haha well I guess it's kind of gone a bit far but I felt the need to explain that because you're definitely not the first to tell me that and there is a legit reason why I'm really bad with that -shot-

kingkostas- thank you so much. ;___; your comments mean so much to me--really, honestly I don't think I can tell you how motivating it is aaah man I don't deserve it. thanks again, and yeah, the last one is really eugh; I'm just going to call it experimental and leave it at that.

~~

my camera scanning has always been poo. :T still life from art class and then an imaginative self portrait thinger that kind of got out of control. might finish it up after I finish summer reading, art homework, oooo and maybe band camp which is BY THE WAY SUCKING ALL MY ART TIME BAWWWWW
