This is what Ygritte from A Song of Ice and Fire looks like in my head - all messy, wild red hair and the kind of determination you can bend horseshoes around.
Zebraspider. Because.

Sketchdump XVII
Collection of warmups and sketches and stuff. Let's start things off with a healthy dose of Shirtless Russian Mobster:

Sketch-dump
Summer has arrived quite suddenly, along with crazy temperatures, which makes me feel lazy. However, I'm doing my best to keep up with my warm-up regimen.
Environment warm-ups - 30-40 mins each:
Other stuff:
New character design for the Masahiro-verse - not final yet, but it's got the basic idea.
Bonus fanart-warmup of Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden's Joe Golem and the Drowning City:
I haven't read all of it yet (in fact, I think I'm still on chapter three), but I simply ADORE the setting; the dystopian, post-apocalyptic, steampunk-y flooded city full of rickety rope-bridges, water-taxis, rust and grit and scary dudes in gasmasks. <3. It's like they sat down and tailored a book entirely for me.

Sketchdump, round Nth
My warm-ups from the last couple of days; some sketchy, some more finished. Some in colour, some not.
First round; some Fathoms-stuff:
Superheroes:
Firestarter. I need to practise drawing fire, because this looks like crap.
Blackbird in uniform, being ninja....
... and out of uniform, being her plain clothes-self.
Samurai:
Whoah... Perspective and backgrounds and stuff. Far out.
Masahiro being picked on by the mean kids.
Assorted misc.:
A Nopon merchant from Xenoblade Chronicles - which is a neat game, despite the three million sidequests and silly support-meeting-esque battle dialogue.
Vesto, being the badass-space-fleet-lieutenant-turned-exo-biologist-nerd that she is.
The 1920ies might, not so secretly, be one of my favourite historical periods - mostly for reasons of awesome fashion and art movements. And tommy-guns. And Prohibitions and gangsters.

Warm-ups
With fanart!
Everyone should read Eyeshield 21. Eyeshield is great. <3
In between everything else I'm up to at the moment, I'm trying to find the time to rework my 2011-24 Hour Comic, Flatland. We'll see how it goes - hopefully, I'll be able to start working on the pages soon.

Ink warm-ups
I'm currently working on Fathoms pt. 2 - the sketches are all finished, so I'm inking them now - but since I haven't inked anything seriously for months, I've decided to do these ink warm-ups before I start every day, just to get into the flow of things.
Some of them have turned out pretty nice, others unremarkable. But still - it's good practise.

Abarat-fanart+sketchdump
I've recently read Abarat, and it's two sequels Days of Magic, Nights of War and Absolute Midnight, and got into the fanart-y mood.
First up, the girl from Marapozsa Street, "A woman was studying at an upper window with her hair like a thicket filled with little coloured birds."
Christopher Carrion, Lord of Midnight, whose nightmares escape from his brain and swim around his collar.
Leeman Vol, the Insect Man, whose entire person is home to a multitude of insects. "Sometimes they bit him, in the midst of their terrritorial wars, and often they burrowed into his skin to lay their eggs."
Malingo the Geshrat
Also, two sketched - I need to practise my inking skills; they've fallen into disuse lately.

April 12th - new project in progress
First, fanart of the excellent Mike Mignola's Abe Sapien - not quite the right colours, because I didn't have them.
Markers and some white acrylics.
Aaaaaand (drum-roll please) - my new, somewhat crackpot summer project!
(apologies for blurry photo - my camera is shit at closeups)
I'm making a 144-piece set of mahjong tiles - from scratch! - because I can. This is a picture of the test-tile; I needed to test whether painting it in acrylics would work, whether the scale was good enough, and after I took this picture, I tested the lacquer which I'll be coating them all with. And I have to say that thus far, things are going well, except for a few very minor setbacks.
