Here is some inspiration, from one of my favorite artists on DeviantArt, Robbi Rodriguez. He’s got a great distinctive, grungy and cartoony style. I love how his images feel so complete even without the use of much color. His work sometimes veers towards the retro/tiki genre, but it’s way better quality than most old clip art. The way he inserts hard angles into the human form is also something to pay attention to, and it’s something I’m trying to incorporate into my work. He’s certainly a master of pen and ink, so check him out:

I’m missing the days when I could do one or two of these every morning Oh well. Trying to get my vector chops back up to speed, and the female form comes very easy for me. I might take these a bit farther before the month is over.

Thanks for visiting Ankhammentu! I will get back to that dang story one of these days.

Whoa, it’s been almost a year since my last post! I finally took a few hours to sit down and think about starting to do some drawing again. I’m sadly out of practice, so picked up this old piece to finish up as a start.

Where have I been the last year? Well, I’ve been working my buns off kicking my web design business into full gear. I totally underestimated how much time and effort it would take, it all seems a lot easier in theory than in practice. Sadly this means that a lot of personal projects, most importantly this blog, have been ignored.

I’ve missed art, and all my friends at DevianrtArt and Renderosity. Big thanks to everyone who’s stopped by to comment while I was away, either here or at one of those other sites. I would thank you all personally, but it would be weird getting a personal reply after a whole year away, wouldn’t it?
