Ursine Sketches

A few sketches to better understand Ursine in relation to their real world inspirations...if not for my chronic mental blocks, I believe I'd be a far more productive artist...

Half Lock Fold, Drapery Study

I've had another eventful month, so have relied on academic study to carry me through my fatigue...I appreciate your continual support and patience; I know, someday, all this time and effort'll worth the daily frustrations and sacrifice...I need only endure a bit longer...

Words to Orion, Piano Melody

Tarrfi Conceptual Studies

After the Weretober piece, I felt this species needed further revisions; though not the final design, it's a much needed improvement.

Male Figure Study

Doggon and Selburt Illustration

This piece was the first and, hopefully, last to require over a month to complete; it would've been finished sooner if not for Weretober as well as another academic study.

Dinosaur Weretober '22 Entry 31

The final entry, finally finished; I'm thankful I was able to complete Weretober, though I don't believe it was conducive to my progress. Yes, I was able to hone new found efficiency, but the inconsistent quality demonstrates why, at this point in my development, speed shouldn't be a priority: I likely won't participate in an...

Coatimundi, Weretober '22 Entry 30

Another slow start to another new month...

Stellar Vows

My productivity has acutely declined akin to my motivation...I simply force myself onward in hopes, someday, my efforts will be worth the sacrifice...

Weretober Entry 21: Chihuahua

Male Figure Study

A study completed as a warm-up over the past couple weeks, too, a much needed reminder of my abilities. 

Weretober '22 Entry 20: Wasp

I focused on a more linear construction today...this challenge has weathered my confidence...

Another poorly executed piece...onto the next...

Mole Weretober '22 Entry 18

Beetle Weretober '22 Entry 17

Since I'm behind, I'll likely focus on quicker portraits 'til I re-align with the prompts.

Tarrfi/Rhino Weretober Entry 16

A two-day break followed by a truncated session aren't an ideal combination, but I'm eager to recapture momentum and complete Weretober.

Aside from technical troubles, this challenge has forced me to continually post, what I deem to be, poorly executed images and confront the associated shame...rather than be discourage...

Weretober '22 Entry Fifteen: Fossa

I'm amazed how different procedures yield drastically different results; yesterday, I accomplished more in less time than I ever have, today, with more, I failed to complete the image...perhaps I was too complacent...? Regardless I'll use what I learned in my next piece.

The next piece'll be posted on the seventeenth af...

Weretober '22 Entry Fourteen: Axolotl

This entry was completed in about five hours...if naught more, my first October challenge has shown how efficient I can be when subjected to unfavorable, temporal constraints; though no piece, in my opinion, genuinely seems complete or is, by my standards, impressive, collectively, they've helped optimize my procedure's initi...

Weretober '22 Entry 13: Elephant

Weretober '22 Entry 12: Bear

I interpreted this prompt as an opportunity to draw an Ursine since they're heavily inspired by bears, however, my digital works have lost a sense complexity...

Weretober '22 Entry 11: Bovine

Atimes I'm genuinely ashamed of the work I produce...after years of practice, I should be better than this...
