Currently trying out a new vectoring style. Been drawn back to Illustrator lately. I’m looking at this as a good thing!

I decided to revisit the Tender Blender brand book I thought to make two years ago (which I haven’t finished due to work!), and I enjoyed reading what I had written so far! I have admit that I used to write better in college. My writing skills have been deteriorating little by little after graduating, so that kind of sucks. Hopefully I get some practice again and inspire myself with how I used to write to get back on track.

Anyway, I was thinking of rehashing what I’ve done so far with the brand book, but I thought twice about it. The look I gave it is pretty decent, with a somewhat “timeless” design, or whatever you call it. It looked good then, and it still does now. So I’m sticking with it, and will just add to it. :D

I remember starting this because I had always wanted to design my own book. Since I didn’t really have much content to go on in terms of my personal life, I decided to make a book dedicated to Tender Blender. I’ve done a good job so far, if I do say so myself. (:

On a lighter note, I watched Up this afternoon before heading out to watch Dark Shadows (Tim Burton! Johnny Depp! Michelle Pfeiffer! Helena Bonham Carter!) with some friends. I suddenly felt inspired by the scene where the house was floating above the clouds in the clear blue sky, and decided I wanted to make a vector illustration of my own.

There was so much detail on the house that I couldn’t finish it! Now that I’m looking at my work in progress, I’m thinking of redoing the house in a more stylized manner like the balloons. I’ll have to continue maybe over the weekend or next week, since I have work to do!

Can’t wait to finish this. (:

Drawing WIP! I decided to turn it into a Batgirl thing.

Been attempting to draw again, haven’t drawn in a while.

Here’s a peek at what I’m working on at the moment. I think I fell in love with the color palette I came up with for this piece.

And can I just say. That cage was damn hard took a while to finish. And the ornate frame was not my doing, by the way, in case you notice it.

Starting to color! Putting in the flats first. I was undecided on what color her hair would be. I stuck with a simple brown. It was orange a while ago, but that was a bit too loud.

Vectoring again after the longest time! Once I’m done, I’m going to practice coloring.

This is probably better than playing Pokemon Red, in a time-wasting sort of way.
