Family Tendencies

I don't understand why this keeps happening.

WHEN AM I?!?!

Yeah, for some reason I went with ghosts!!! 

now it looks like a ghost buster or luigis mansion inspired piece.

what do ghosts have to do with time travelers?

Be creative! I have no idea! Maybe its a grand metaphor of how no matter how much he time travels, he can't escape....the ghosts of his past....

whoa. deep.

and by the way, I love his red gloves. LOVE THEM.

also, the ghost noses were inspired by these ghosts Lonesome Ghosts -Mickey Mouse

yeah, I'm gonna call this a work in progress.
This is for a group blog. The weekly theme was "lost time traveller".
As you can see, the lost time nomad is expressing fear, but nothing is causing it. I have yet to add something else in the image to allow it to tell more of a story.
so yeah...work in progress...
I think painting is beginning to make a lot more sense. I feel more in control...more powerful...I'm gaining a PROCESS.
I'm way too tired right now.

Funny Bones!

I realized I never uploaded this. It was my final for 2d animation. Its really rough still, but I'm mostly satisfied with it.

I never know what to write here...

Trying to get better at painting value/colors/lighting etc.
I drew the line art for this a while ago but never colored it. At the time I was musing over the singings of Lana del rey, who has really sad music. Methinks "she just seems like a sad pretty girl who only goes for stupid guys"... or weird beasts with hair worthy of a l'oreal commercial...
So then, this drawing came out of that. Does that make this fan art?
I'm done talking.

Go Catch Every Armadillo

yeah, I wish it looked better, but I think I'm just gonna upload it.
So, I got a Ukulele the other day and I loooooooooove it soooooooo muchhhhhhhhh. You know how when you're laying in bed about to sleep then suddenly the universe floods your mind with good ideas? The universe told me "Aaron, learn to play the Ukulele." So, I obeyed.
I named it Buddha because when I strum it its like I'm rubbing its belly.
To remember the letters of the strings I made the little phrase "Go Catch Every Armadillo" to remember the order is GCEA.
So, naturally, I decided to draw a picture of me playing Buddha on the back of an armadillasaur.
I think I need to spend more effort in color and lighting. I feel my line work is pretty solid, but from there I kind of fumble around until it looks half-ok like this.

Home Alone

Ah, the joys of vacation. The constant battle to maintain sanity. 

Help me.

nothing much

I guess this is just to show that I am still alive and I didn't want this blog to die. Just some painting practice and some figure sketches. No reference was used.
