[Amaakir]

Stace! Welcome back!
It's awesome to see you so busy, I envy you so much! Just take care of that hand of yours!
The portrait is great, I'd love to use acrylics some day (I just keep saying how I'd love to do stuff and simply just never end up doing them XS )
Aaaah, the creatures are awesommmmeeeeeee, I love the little croc looking dude, which one should we start working on?
Loomis strikes once again, I have to get my hands on that book soon, great study btw! I'm looking forward for more!
Great clean lines on the knights, btw, kinda remember me of Mr. Browns also. I support the last of your knights, fuck the ground, who needs that crap when you can float in the air? XD Hahaha awesome, awesome, don't stop, Stacy, daily updates, cmon, girl, you can do eeeet!

[MarcSampson]

nice progress keep it up !

[stace]

malo - Thank you! I'll try and do some knights sometime soon, they're fun to see but a subject I haven't before this.

JoseVega - Thanks! Ah no worries, the ebooks aren't going anywhere. When I'm not so lazy I'll just e-mail them to you or just upload them somewhere.

mjasnowski - Hey thank you Mike! ^_^

Amaakir - Awww thank you Juan. Feels good to be back. Everyone would love to try something new, just got to make the time for it yanno? Which croc one? Ah, I'll just ask you on Skype tomorrow and draw the ref sheet then, ha. Was inspired by MrBrown! I want to get better at making nice clean lines in photoshop, haha. Thanks for the support!

MarcSampson - Thanks, will do!



A bit of an off day, but I'm exhausted from having to do physical therapy today. I talked to my therapist about my returning hand pain, and just lectured me about how I shouldn't be sitting for a long period of time drawing and start taking longer breaks. Plus it would help too if I started to exercise more, hah.

I at least finished a study today! Thus I can't be too mad at just uploading a single image. I'm way too tired to do some imagination works, loosing a lot of sleep due to starting my art so late in the day so I'm going to work on getting a head start earlier in the day!



Okay, now to use my keyboard as a pillow...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[JoseVega]

aawwwww.... i strongly suggest exercise....
let me know if u need help in that area..
i know for a fact how good it can be to your health.
get better! and nice great little study!

[Amaakir]

That bird study is awesome, I love the render on the feathers, they look great! Sure, we'll talk soon, we should use a mike this time!
Hope everything is well, keep it up, Stacy!!

[Fetsch]

heeeey the birdstudy looks great!

[stace]

JoseVega - Dude, I am open to any type of exercise! I haven't a clue how to begin a exercise routine let alone follow through with one. We need to skype call soon! Thanks!

Amaakir - Thank you thank you thank you Juan!

Fetsch - Ah thank you Viktor!



Another late night... ;_; Wagh. Wasn't very motivated today. I finally joined the Crimson Daggers forums and also made a twitter, though the rest of the day was combing through blogs and thinking about art. NO MORE THINKING, WAGHH!

Follow me on Twitter if you have one please!

Okay...lame stuff ahead.

Quick still life study, like 1-2 hours DURING THE SUN SHINING IN MY EYES augh.


Started a reference sheet for Amaakir's and I lovecreature. Let me know if that's enough angles for you, haha.


Okay, goodnight, see you guys tomorrow!

[JoseVega]

hey, for sure girl! ill help u out.... its what i do every day so... to be honest you can start with anything really... im sure it will be a pain in the begginning but u have to go thru it.... its like therapy... slowly but surely..... little by little... maybe have like 30 min sessions, 1 in the morning and one at night..... that consists on stretching, some resistance exercises and more stretching.
i can show u some of those during skype if u want!

[malo]

Hi stace,

hope your hand feels better!!!!
The last studies are great - but I really love the bird. Just an awesome job you did
Love the feathers.
more please!!

[stace]

JoseVega - Thanks dude, I would really appreciate that! I haven't exercised since high school... waaah.

malo - Thank you malo! I always remember that you tell me to push my stuff further, so I have been!



Apologies about the two day absence. Hand problems, mental problems, blablabla.

At least I was working on something! A not so quick painting. I learned a lot from it, especially... being decisive about stuff. -_-

Might change some things around, seeing as it's 4AM and all I want to do is sleep. Let me know if something bugs ya! No pun intended.

I think I need to let my wrist rest tomorrow. I'll probably do some light sketchbook exploration.

[mjasnowski]

Studies are looking fantastic, I especially like the material on the water spritzer! I really like the latest so far, I might push the contrast a bit more depending on the style / feel your going for, maybe add a cast shadow from the feather(s). Keep it up!

[stace]

mjanowski - Ooh good eye, thanks! I noticed it needed a little contrast too today.

Got a lot of feedback on this piece, so I worked on it a little more. I think I'm going to call it done, time to start working on something else for this week. :3


And a progress picture from the painting above.


New week, here I come!
