New digital painting stuff

I've been doing some digital painting stuff in photoshop over the last couple of weeks, and since I don't have a keyboard directly in front of me yet on the cintiq I haven't been able to comfortably do any posts.  Here are a couple of the paintings I've been doing.

I've been browsing through Modcloth since my sister and I are planning on going to DapperDay at Disneyland in February and was inspired by all of the pretty summery dresses.  I love the way dresses look even if I rarely wear them myself.

With this one I decided to play with a somewhat limited color palate.  I used yellow, orange, red, and violet.  I never really work with a limited palate consciously, and I need to do that more often.

Now onto some animating!

Erm...It's been a few weeks...

So yeah...sorry it's been a while.  It's been a busy few weeks.  A few weekends ago was CTN, which was awesome!  I should probably do some kind of report thing on it, but we'll see.  Then Thanksgiving and family events happened, so I fell behind here.

I've almost finished work on another shot from my film.  It was a more physically active scene than I've been doing recently, so it was a bit tough.  However, I had a lot of fun acting it out and posing it.  I'll probably post it up here when I finish it.

What I can show you this week is a couple things I worked on yesterday.  I never draw birds or really any non-humanoid creatures, so I decided to play around with them.  I really liked one of my parrot sketches so I cleaned it up and colored it in photoshop.  I played around with a background as well. 

I really liked the finished product, so I put it up in my Society6 shop.  <= shameless plug :)

I also did some hummingbird designs which are in the process of being colored.

I should play around with other animals.
