Busy

2010-05-23T09:15:00.000-04:00

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. Ever since I've been putting in more hours, I've had little-to-no time anymore for anything other than work. I'll have even less when I go full time. I have been sketching during my long, 2+ hour commutes... I hope to have some pieces finished soon for some competitions. We'll see how that goes. Thanks to all my followers and visitors for

Class

2010-02-26T09:24:00.000-05:00

My job sent me off to a week-long class on Sharepoint. I'm moving much quicker than most of the people in the class, seeing as how I have a lot of background in Web Design... and SharePoint is a lot easier than I expected. This is a nice area... and once our current lease is up - we're looking at getting a town house in this area. I've been doodling like there is no tomorrow - I might post

February 2010 WIPS

2010-02-20T06:04:00.000-05:00

Work has been keeping me pretty busy, but at the same time, I've been SUPER productive ever since I got the job. I put in as much drawing time as possible now adays. Which is good for me! YAY! If you watch me on deviantART, you'll have noticed that I have updated a LOT these past 2 months. I won't post everything here as well - too much stuff - so run over to my gallery there to take a look :

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

2009-12-25T06:57:00.000-05:00

Happy Holidays to all. This year was a great year for Christmas movies - got to see Avatar and Princess and the Frog (twice). Both movies were just what I needed in my life right now - they truly inspired me to continue working on my own work.... and that's what I've been doing. For now, enjoy some Naveen fanart from Princess and the Frog : More work to come. I promise. Enjoy the

More Ariel Previews

2009-11-18T00:38:00.002-05:00

Took a break from Ariel for a few days to work on some other stuff. Not to mention, my friend Mr. Araya messed up our tablet settings when he was here at Halloween... so I only get to work on her on my laptop (which, considering it's on life support, isn't often).So I got back to her today. For a little while.

Bakia's New Blog Layout

2009-10-18T20:07:00.001-04:00

Face Coloring Studies

2009-10-04T20:05:00.002-04:00

I was working on my current story/comic idea before I moved. And seeing as how the characters are.... well, not completely human (not wanting to give away the whole story here), I needed some ideas for facial markings.So I did some studies of various cultures and peoples. There are some various animals in there and some characters from movies and tv shows and the like. And some original

Just to Post

2009-09-11T10:35:00.004-04:00

Sorry haven't been posting much. Apartment hunting was taking up most of my time, and now packing.But, I figured I'd post something up here, seeing as how my portfolio website is down for the moment.I tried my hand at a full digital painting in a different style.Done with ONE brush. Still needs some work. But that'll be all for now.I have a bunch of face art concepts that I should post but

New Project; New Concepts

2009-06-29T22:24:00.002-04:00

I'm working on a new personal project - I've had the general idea in my head for a while now. Last night my boyfriend and I brain stormed (cause our ideas play well off each other) and I got the whole story down. I may turn this into an illustrated novel or a comic... or something.So, today, I did a concept for it.A random fish mermaid, based off of a Maldives Lyretail Anthias.It started as a

2009-04-10T23:10:00.006-04:00

I passed all my classes. And passed my final review - which means I'm graduating in June. Woot!And because my boyfriend's business identity was all over the place, I decided to help him out.So I gave him the idea to make his little self portrait robot lean on his logo and I made this mock up for the DVD case :The background is black so it'll be seamless on a black dvd case. I'll help him work on

Portfolio Giveaway

2009-03-04T09:41:00.003-05:00

One idea for a giveaway for either a) Tillman's "Promotion Class Show/Con" or b) Final Portfolio Show.Hand painted (obviously) and assembled. Information on the inside, including # out of #.Would be given away in a nice mesh bag or a nice little box. This set would be for Tillman's because every shell is broken.I would like to get big fake shark teeth for final show. And/or unbroken shells.Did

Newest Work In Progress Shot of my 4 Celestial Goddesses :Galaxy has been changed to a purple instead of a green. Sun has a bit of a sunflare-esque design on her dress and Star's been changed to a purple and yellow mixture. Her dress has also changed in the drawing, but I haven't scanned that yet.I think I'm happy with where the colors are.So now to finish the turnarounds!

The Pencils / Inks / and Flats to one of my newest pieces :I've started coloring it as well. The face is almost done. About 80% I would say. Body is only at about 40%.I also created a chibi piece of the same character :(did it as an example for possible commissions)

New Mascot

2008-12-28T10:40:00.004-05:00

Still working on that layout. It's not going as smoothly as I had hoped.Until then, I've been working on a new design for my Rewynd mascot.Waffles isn't going anywhere! But there will be a new addition.To keep with the whole fish feel.I decided to... do a mermaid-esque character.And before everyone starts "oh! I knew Robyn was going to do a mermaid. Disney blah! Blah blah!"SHH!It looks nothing

New Layout - New Identity

2008-12-23T13:52:00.003-05:00

Some professors and a fellow student told me (well after I had half of my business identity stuff done) that my stuff looked too "techy" and not reminiscent enough of a character designer.And while I agree with the character designer aspect - I was going to add a character to the whole thing and just hadn't gotten to that point yet.But they said my colors needed to be changed and my logo needed

Long Weekend

2008-11-26T11:18:00.002-05:00

So I didn't go to school today (I only had one class and I could afford the absence) so I'll be here all day doing homework. And since there is no school the rest of the week, I don't have to go to work on Saturday and school is canceled on Tuesday... I got a nice long period of time to do some work. (We do go in on Monday though.)To get myself in the drawing mood today, I decided to quickly draw

Caparina Progress

2008-11-25T13:36:00.004-05:00

More Sketches Possibly Coming Soon?

What do you guys think of me redoing my old Morgan le Faye picture?I'm possibly going to Katsucon in February with some friends and getting a table and I wanted to sell some stuff. I thought I could possibly fix this up and color it and sell this? Among other pieces of course. She of course, needs a lot of work.

Caparina

2008-11-15T10:13:00.004-05:00

Happy Birthday FerFer

2008-10-17T12:08:00.004-04:00

I drew this for Jen Dutton (aka Ferfer) for her 2oth Birthday, which was yesterday. Why a bagface?Way back in February (wow that was so long ago), Jen came into the school store when I was working and she showed me this paperbag that she had made for psychology class. The two big sides had different facial expressions, for I believe biopolar disorders. But I have pictures of her in the bagface,

It's About Time for My Arrival

2008-10-07T21:19:00.000-04:00

I've joined the recent AiW bandwagon = blogspot.I'm currently throwing some color and css on the blog to make it more "me" thus the orange.Why join blogspot? Because I need to draw more.

I only have 9
