Environment Shiz

It's Shelly reporting for blogging duty!

I realized that I don't make enough environments so a couple of days ago I started sketching one. I was inspired by some of the old adventure point and click games I used to play like Broken Sword, Torin's Passage, King's Quest and the like. Not sure if I will end up polishing this or not, it's meant to just be an exercise but I'll see where it goes. Here is the sketch as well as some color studies with some tweaks in the layout.

Rough sketch of the BG.

Was excited to slap some colors on so I did. As you can see the bed was removed and replaced with a chest.

Layout changed again. I'm thinking I like this one much better.

I suppose I will tighten this piece some more. Maybe even throw in a mock UI just for kicks?

Erotic Signature Art Contest

Shelly here!

I was invited to join an erotic art contest held by Erotic Signature. This is my entry:

I wanted to go for a nouveau-inspired look with a graphic/comic touch (thus the halftone effect).

Winners will be notified via e-mail on Aug 22. Keeping my fingers crossed that I would at least get published in the book!

The Lost Kids

Shelly here!

So. I joined an art contest a couple of weeks ago. The challenge was to create artwork based on an upcoming graphic novel called "The Lost Kids" created by Felipe Cagno (you can check out their official website here and the creator's deviantArt account here). I decided to recreate one of the scenes from their screenplay and settled with the one where Kate catches JJ and Tommy kissing in the Four Seasons Forest.

Unfortunately, I didn't win but it was fun to get my creative juices flowing again after a long period of drought.

The Lost Kids is a passion project and I have a soft spot for people who dare to dream and make those dreams become a reality. Please support the creators by purchasing their artbook here.

This is a preview of one of the pages:

You could also support the project through non-monetary means such as spreading the word about The Lost Kids in your blogs or even creating fan art. Don't hesitate to send love their way as well!

Welcome!
