Here is a not so new sketch I have made. His name is Milek and he is an original character from my graphic novel DeadFingers. I promised to color it last month but I never got around to doing so. I am really quite pleased with how this sketch turned out and would like to get to coloring it sometime in the near future.

Okay, now let me explain in full detail why I have been absent as of late. I have recently been testing Final Fantasy 14 in closed beta and now, I am just anticipating the release of the game, which will be later this month. I have no idea how I will find the time to play it as well as update this blog more often, but I suppose I will find a way!

I’ve said this before and I will say it again. 24 hours is just not enough time in a single day. Through drawing things for fun, working on illustrations, writing my comic and leisure, I don’t have enough time to do it all. It’s really frustrating. And I know it only takes about 20 minutes to write a blog post on I 365 Art, but I guess I just need to be more disciplined about updating the blog I suppose.

Anyway, I hope you all like this sketch, maybe sometime this week I will have the in color version up soon! Chao!

Some of my fans said that I should start where I last left off but looking at The Faction now, i’m noticing a lot of things wrong with it and just overall, I am no longer happy with it at this point. Not to say that it’s complete garbage now, but just that i’ve grown and matured along the years and I feel like I want to go for a more mature approach to the story in the future.

I’m not really sure how far this story is going to go after DF and TF are complete, I really enjoy making this web comics so I’ll probably continue after they are over!

Future-like desert scene

As you guys might have seen already, this is the colored version of the previous drawing I posted up a couple days ago. I added color as well as some mountains off in the distance in this version, I thought the earlier sketch was a little bland.

And of course I included bold/rich colors as well. I really enjoyed creating the clothing for Orn in this image, I just went with whatever I thought liked nice for her outfit. Since she’s a rogue, I didn’t want to give her too heavy of clothing and I wanted it to be tight fitting (for convenience).

I will be posting 4-5 days in a row for the next few days and will try to have a line up of art ready next week for when I’m at Anime Expo as well. I’ve suddenly gotten a lot of inspiration for art lately and I’d like to post everything i’ve been making to the blog as often as possible. For now, toodles!

This is still just a work in progress here. Can’t wait to splash it with color!

Hi guys! Here is a drawing that I am currently working on. I find that I only have time to make sketches for now and end up having to have to color them later. Not only have I been busy with work but I’ve been on the set a lot these days too. Very exciting stuff in the works right now!

More about this sketch, these are just more characters from my web series Deadfingers (main characters actually!) I don’t know, i’ve just felt like doing nothing but focusing on my comic these days! No idea why, but I do enjoy redrawing a lot of the old characters again :3 It’s super fun to do :3! Anyway, stay tuned for more, maybe I’ll post the colored version sometime this week. Toodles!

In other news, C3 has been very productive in the cosplay community and I have very high hopes for a group this year. We have a lot of goals for this year and so far, half of them have been accomplished.

Now, on to the picture! This is one of the many character drawings I have been working on as of late (even though I have not posted on the blog in a while, I am still making art on a daily basis!) Her name is Wendy in the story. I think for me, drawing children is probably a little more difficult for me to do than to draw adults. This is probably because when drawing children, you have to make sure not to make them look too old/mature. Anyway, I like how this drawing of the little girl turned out and I am quite pleased with the outcome. When I get better at it, I should make a tutorial about it in the future!:3

I’ve been posting individual character portraits for the DF cast, not really sure what I’m going to do with them, probably compile a page with character bios, who knows. But lately, I have been wanting to do something more with my comic besides update it every few days.

Also on a side note, Anime Expo is rolling around the corner again! I’m starting to plan my cosplays for the convention this summer and I know for sure that I will be cosplaying as someone from Shin Megami Tensei as well as Final Fantasy. Not sure who yet but I will definitely be posting cosplay progresses here when I can. I can’t wait for the summer, it’s just cosplay season all around!

I don’t really have a lot to say for today, except for the fact that my team’s kickstarter will be ending in 8 days from now, so don’t hesitate to pay it forward and donate. We really would like to have this game created and it can’t happen without you all! We are still far from reaching our goal of $15,000 but we still have hope in our hearts.

The post Day #270 Clementine #2 appeared first on I 365 Art.

In today’s post, I wanna talk about a crazy dream I had last night, pertaining to the lovely ladies of C3. Of course, the dream didn’t really come as a surprise to me, since i’ve been interacting with the girls a lot more this year than previously. I guess my subconscious couldn’t get enough of them either xD. So anyway, I had this dream that we were all living in this tree house together, similar to this one.

As some of you guys may know, we are cosplay models. So naturally, in this dream we were all in full cosplay, but we were wearing some possibly “future” cosplays that we haven’t yet created or worn. Perhaps, the dream was a precursor to what is to come in C3’s future? Who knows xD. I just thought i’d share that dream with you all today :3.

The post Day #269 Bel appeared first on I 365 Art.

Here is a character I created as part of my web series. In fact, all of the work I drew over the weekend is linked to my web series. I’m too busy posting comic strips on there to upload them on that site so I decided to plug them here instead. In fact, I have a whole line up i’m working on right now. I’m planning to draw separate portraits of all of the characters that appear over at my web comic. This is definitely going to keep me busy over the next weekend, but it’s great to finally be doing something outside of work these days.

Also, I just through i’d mention that I have been playing video games on my ps3 more often in my spare time (I should be working on the blog more, I know.) I have recently become addicted to the Persona/shin megami tensei games by Atlus. For those of you familiar with the game franchise, I am having a blast playing these games! I LOVE Jrpgs! I’ve recently purchased the games persona 2, 3 and 4 as well as shin megami tensei: digital devil saga 1, 2 and devil summoner 1. When I get paid next, I want to buy devil summoner 2 as well as nocturne.

Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to these days. Expect some more art this week :3.

Anyway, I have been focusing a lot on my web comic these days, it’s been my greatest passion since I first started it back in 2008. It’s also been the longest commitment in my life as well, I don’t really stick to things very long at all. Which is another reason why I am quite surprised that I 365 Art is still alive today! I guess with, i’m learning how to better keep commitments!

I have several pieces of art I am working on at this time and I want to upload them to the blog over the weekend. Stay tuned :3!
