Portal post- also HELLO AGAIN

/dusts off blogger

HEY EVERYONE after like 50 years I'm finally getting around to updating this place ahaha. Let's start with a sampling of Portal fanart from the past half year shall we~

sometimes I turn the Portal characters into burds and call it "Burdal"

All of these were drawn in Paintool SAI.

And here we are, the last post I'm going to put on this blog for a while. This is pretty much a collection of personal work from the past year that haven't been on any other posts on this blog. I'll start with the original stuff first and label them as needed-

Raccoon skull studies-

[blue Col-Erase]

Some original characters and character designs-

Some gifts for my mom-

[watercolors and SAI, respectively]

Wreck-It Ralph was a great movie-

A birthday gift for a friend who's a fan of Persona 4-

Aaaand I'll end this post with an animation I and 4 other friends made in under 24 hours as part of a challenge that was taken on by 32 other teams of 5. We managed to place 5th and got some neat prizes for it!-

The Portal post.

I like Portal 2.

I like Portal 2 a lot.

The amount of fanart I draw for this game is obscene. It is my current artistic fixation and I'm going to ride this wave of creative energy for as long as it takes me. Remember that one post where I realized that if I wanted to draw something, I should just draw it? This is partly where all these come from [oh, and I'm also a fan of humanizing, which is why there's very little robots here for a game filled with robots]-

I also decided to make a couple of prints to sell at conventions based on this game. The first one here was a collaboration between me and a friend; I came up with the composition and values and he did the coloring-

And this second one I did on my own, trying my hand at digital painting-

I am ALSO working on a collaborative sequential narrative project with a friend based on a story she wrote based on Portal 2. The story assumes that the robot character Wheatley was once a human being who was forced into becoming a scientific experiment against his will. I started this project because I genuinely like the story and I also figured this would be a great opportunity to push myself into taking on a huge project that would challenge my skills in storytelling, something I desperately need. Here are some concept sketches I drew up for the project-
