Last day: Goodbye

The title says it all. I've had fun doing this project, and hopefully you've enjoyed it as well.

Day 52: Grand Finale

Today is the last day of Autumn, and that means that it's the last day of posts. It's been fun, folks.

day 51: She Leaves

Day 50: Fight of Flight

This is a design I made as a rough sketch for an album cover for my solo music career. 

day 49: Ribbon

 

Ribbon

This was inspired by a dream I had a couple of nights back. There was a lot more to the dream, but I thought that this part- the end of the dream- was the only part that really mattered. 

Day 48: War Concept

 

My scanner wasn't working today so I had to take a picture with my cheap point-n-shoot camera. but anyway, this is a concept for War; one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Day 47: stuff a house has.

Day 46: Snow Days

Silhouette

 Taking It In

The World Is Nothing With Us

An Announcement

Hello fellow human beings,
I regret to inform you that there will be a minimal amount of posts this week and next week due to finals. I've gotta study hard to make those good grades. I think it may be possible to post two or three this week, and maybe a couple next week, but I wont be on a regular schedule until after the 15th. By that time posts will get back to normal.
Thank-you,

-Armstrong

Day 45: A Joint Effort

Today my Niece who's in town for thanksgiving and I decided that it would be fun to both draw a picture and then switch to color in the other. 

Turkey Day

Drawn by my niece Kayla and colored by me

Pilgrim's Progress

Drawn by me and Colored by my niece.

Day 44: Can't Be Both

 

The concept here is that there is a pirate/ninja. My plan is to make it a t-shirt design when it's all done, but I've been having trouble getting it to look less like a crippled ninja, and more like like a mix between pirate and ninja (as this image clearly demonstrates). If you have any pointers please share in the comments.

And just to specify; I said pointers, not criticisms.

Day 43: I Heart Music

Day 42: Blood Drive

Day 41: Moon Rock Mining Company

Progression

Just like I promised on Friday: two pictures.

my apologies

Sorry about the lack of an image yesterday. I was away from a computer from dusk till dawn and by the time I had access to one, I just wanted to go to bed. Tell you what; when Monday roles around I'll give you two pictures. How's that sound? alright? alright.

Peace!

Too Close Too Fast
Altered photography

day 23: Fatherboard

Fatherboard
Digital

This is a character that I made up when I was about 13. He was an evil mastermind who wanted all organic lifeforms to be destroyed and replaced by robots.

day 22: KABOOOM!!

KABOOOM!!

I was thinking; "What would be awesome?" And then I thought about how elephants are awesome, and explosions are awesome and so are karate movies. BOOM! all three.

Day 21: Hippopotamian Flag

Hippopotamian Flag
Digital

When I was about 10 yrs old I made up my own society. It was an Island called Hippopotamia that you could only live on if the senate voted that you were cool enough to live on the Island. You also had to have a unique trait that made you valuable to the community and would need to be interviewed and have a background check done. Sometimes I still wish that I could live on an Island like that... Anyways, a couple of years later this is what I decided the Hippopotamian Flag would look like. It fits in because it's awesome.

Day 20: Just Do It

Just Do It
Pencil/ digital hybrid

I was inspired to do this piece because of my history class. We were talking about Greek mythology and in particular the winged women figures who gave news of a battle:

P.S. You have a dirty mind. Don't deny it.

day 19: Constant Fade

Constant Fade

Digital/pencil hybrid

the law of entropy is what's been on my mind today.

Day 18: So Many Questions....

So Many Questions
Pen & Paper

I feel sorry for owls. All they want to know is who you are. They never get angry when you don't respond. Instead, they simply ask again. Poor guys getting ignored all the time... 

Day 17: Recycle

Recycle

I don't have much to say about this one.

Day 16: I Planted A Seed

I Planted A Seed

I was looking through some of my old sketches and short stories today and I decided to revamp some of the things that were never brought to fruition (which was most everything). This is a remake of something I drew for a girl about 2 1/2 years ago for Valentines Day.
There's a cheesy little poem to go with it:
You planted a seed
And O' how it grew
And now, darling, I give
What belongs to you.

Day 15: My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady
Pen & paper

I'm thinking about making this both a first and a last: the first in that it's the beginning of the official Lady Autumn series and last in that I'm thinking about deversifying  my artwork and changing up the styles.

day 14: Well This Is Awkward...

Well This Is Awkward...
Pen & Ink

day 13: A Rose by Any Other Name

A Rose By Any Other Name
Watercolors

day 12: No Joke... It Really Is.

3D's Legitimate.
pen & paper

I have an irrational vehemency toward this ridiculous 3D fad that's going on. this is one of my ways of making fun of it.  

Day 11: Party Animals

Party Animals
Pen & Paper
There are at least 3 puns here...

Day 10: Sitting in English Class

Sitting in English Class
Pencil & Notebook paper
Obviously the object that I drew is not sitting in a classroom of any sort, but I was sitting in a classroom when I drew this.

Day 9: Lady Autumn

Lady Autumn
Copper
I decided to do something different from my normal stuff. I had some random pieces of copper lying around so I thought it might be a good idea to put them to good use. Also I've attempted poetry and have made various sketches that I have themed "Lady Autumn" before so the various shapes and overall style of this particular piece is something that I've wanted to work on and complete for quite some time.
P.S. Excuse the quality of the backdrop. I'm not a model photographer so I had to make due with a t-shirt.

Day 8: Interesting To Say The Least

 

Interesting To Say The Least

Watercolors and ink

This was actually a spur of the moment thing. I had no vision for this piece at all. What's interesting about that is that I was actually working on another one, and I knocked over my ink bottle and it ruined the picture I was working on, so I got out another piece of Bristol Board and just started splatting watercolors on it until I finally saw an image that had the potential to develop with an autumn theme... And I like this one more. And that is how today's piece was created.

Day 7: Right at Home

Right at Home
Water-Colors

The title says it all. Today was a good day.

Day 6:...

This is me drawing a blank and running out of time before day 6 is over.
