lca2019

First update since my trip to New Zealand. I stayed at a airbnb in Christchurch for the hackfest lca2019 where I got some art done before having to packup my stuff in order to make room for AV room setup. Once the conference started I started at the student accommodation. I spent the majority of this time doing the post production video editing. In the evenings I took the drawing setup to the common room where I mostly just drew myself, but had a few others also have a go.

sharkface

A sharklike creature to the right. This was a smaller image size than normal. Lots of circles with a X through the center.

lca2019

LCA2019 logo with arrows around it. Slug like shapes with circles growths.

troll

Someone drew this at LCA2019. Full troll figure and a troll portrait. A house on a hill and a emo kid holding something.

tubelink

Circles within circles linked by rectangles.

lcascape2

Circles in the sky. Water ripples in the lower half. Building emerging from the horizon.

penguins2019

ok I lied. Here is another update before my flight out. I’ve rewritten my blog cms and it really is much easier for me to update now. It could be better. And it’s something I will always continue to work on and improve. I took Carries penguin she drew and remixed it. Many times. This is the results. There is a penguin in every drawing.

questionlandscape

Another lie. No penguin in this one. There is a character portrait on te left. A landscape border behind, with a questionmark shape emerging for the horozen line. More of the question mark shapes in the background.. as clouds. I started watching Batman Forever so I think I was influenced by that. The Riddler is one of my favorite characters.

penguinmods

Depending on the power up picked up, the penguin changes appearance. The changes on his head reflect the sign he is holding. There are six penguins in this piece. Each of them holding a different sign/headpiece. Which is your favorite? I think I like the flower/circle bottom center.

penguinholdsign

Penguin Hold Sign written on top right. Very loose and rough drawings of the penguin. Lots of experiments with scale - making one side of face large and other small. Spikes coming out of the head on some of the penguins.

penguinlandscape

Mostly just a landscape but a penguin on the left. He is missing the circle on his stomach. A worm like create to his right with spikes along the body. Normal clouds in the sky and ripples of water below.

penguinsideways

Three penguins and a attempt of drawing a sideways one.
