Jen wants to paint fantastical things!

[Ursa major]

As do I. (Best he doesn't break into shops selling drapes, though.)



By the way, in his profession he's likely to get whacks about his head; instead of letting it get on his wick, he's taken advantage of it....


*cough*

[Pyan]

Is it just me, or is the door watching him?...

 

[JenJen]

I love the candle on his head, Jen!

There were talks about 'leveling up' his gear and thus giving him a candelabrum on his head instead of a single candle

But I think I'll stick with the little candle for now!

Thief is almost getting his hands on some loot. But what is in that bottle? Water? Potato vodka? WHO KNOWS.

 

[Precise Calibre]

Fantasy art as it was meant to be..... Fantastic!


I love your characters, especially the thief (reminds me of myself) and Voresh.

 

[JenJen]

Thank you

Another slightly more unfinished painting of an evaluation perhaps.

 

[J-WO]

Really stunning stuff. This will sound like a weird compliment but your really good at fingers. Whenever I draw fingers, they end up looking like bananas hanging off a spade!

 

[JenJen]

Haha Thanks!

For hands, you'd be surprised how often I reference them from my own. I own a mac, so I just use the built in program called 'Photo Booth' where I take reference pictures of hands and fingers in the pose needed. Then I exaggerate the hand depending on what kind of character it is I'm drawing.

I love the outfits. Where do you get the ideas from?! Good stuff.

Lately:

YouTube - FatChanceBellyDance's Channel

YouTube - BibiSF DJ Cairo // SFBG + Fat Chance Belly Dance + King Tut @ de Young


Layers, bling, colour, pattern, texture. You name it.

 

[Ursa major]

If you don't mind, JenJen, I'll stick to looking at your finished product (and the working sketches) and let you trawl through those areas on YouTube....

 

[JenJen]

Mmmmmm~ Belly dance outfits~ I always feel ever so slightly lesbian when I look at tribal belly dancers.

But back to the topic!
Working on the last scene to prepare my portfolio for some RPG publishers. Will post it here when it's done. Work's a bit slow today though. :/

 

[Parson]

The little of that belly dancing I could "stomach" made me think suburban belly dancers whose only tribe would be their office.

I with Ursa, I'll take your finished work over that -- whatever it was -- any day.

I love the pom poms on the skirts in the second vid!

 

[JenJen]

Haha Love the reactions to the vids! But yes. A lot of the performers make their own costumes, which end up looking brilliant, and I snatch ideas from that to sneak into various things of my own.

The little pom-pom (or whatever you call it) attached to the thief's hoodie on the image where he speaks to the merchant?

Belly dance pom-pom

Today's been frustratingly slow though. This is all I've gotten done.

 

[Mouse]

I want that skirt. Love ruffles!

 

[JenJen]

First scan of the scene of the dance-robber-gang.
Probably only makes sense to me.

 

[digs]

Holy crap, you're awesome.

 

[Fuzzy Modem]

Phenomenal! I see nothing I would change

 

[Vertigo]

I think you might get a lot of this Jen but yes that is fantastic. Very atmospheric with that really tight crop or whatever you would call it in the art world

 

[J-WO]

I auditioned for the Dance-Robber-Gang. They turned me down on account of my horrific belly dancing. Then they robbed me.

Still, no hard feelings. A great picture, one that uses monotone to moody effect.
