Sailing o’er a sea of sleep

sailing-oer-a-sea-of-sleep

Another random sketchy thing from last week, this one loosely inspired by a few lines in a lullaby that’s gotten a lot of play in the house thanks to the little nephew, and gotten stuck in my head. It’s a pretty song. n_n Done in OpenCanvas. It’s really just a doodle, so flaws like woah.

Baby’s boat’s the silver moon,
Sailing in the sky,
Sailing o’er a sea of sleep,
While the clouds float by.

Sail, baby, sail,
Out upon that sea,
Only don’t forget to sail
Back again to me.

Baby’s fishing for a dream,
Fishing near and far,
Her line, a silver moonbeam is,
Her bait, a silver star.

Sail, baby, sail,
Out upon that sea,
Only don’t forget to sail
Back again to me…

More train stuff from the moleskine; and some worked on at home in-between… games with friends. o_o;

Random stuff- I never quite liked the idea of drawing a sketch atop of another, so there’s just lots of wasted space. :/ I should take that leap. Will save paper. :o

random!

yebbits!

Those creatures were originally named yabbit, but then Ann suggested Yebbits, for yeti + rabbit. XD

And look, my attempt at horned people, as inspired by Ev. X3 She does them better.

Daven wip III

Here’s where I stopped with this yesterday. I thought I’d have some time to get on to the next progress shot but I spent time after work on other things (just as fun).

I recognise a problem with my contrast when working with greyscales- they tend to be clump in a small range as opposed to having pure white and pure black in the same picture, resulting in a washed out sort of art. I tweaked the levels in this one, but I think I might have to do one more when I’m close to finishing it.

What’s left to be done? The background, his pants and the apple.

黄晓明 revisited

This is an update to this piece done 2 days ago. I wasn’t happy with the speedpainting result so I spent another hour and a half on it. Lol? I think it was an hour half. I lost track of time.

What I really wanted to do was to get Mass Effect 2 since Anya and William are both enjoying it, except I won’t be able to get it by Steam due to its 12gig size? D8

retouched

Anyway, I feel this is more presentable. I’ll go and work on other stuff now.

Daven (wip still II)

Okay, I haven’t really had time except in-between Band Hero, DJ Hero and Singstar with mates to work more on Daven. Here’s his progress so far. I’ve moved his arm and leg so he looks more natural now than the originally intended wacky pose.

Many thanks to the bf for holding the apple so I can see how the hand holds one. XD

And yes, it’s all painted on one layer. The top layer is my scribble layer and the bottom layer is the original sketch.
