First post of the New Year

Two months without a post. Where does the time go? Well, here are a couple new ones anyway.

I made this one as a Christmas gift for my friend. I'm pretty happy with the way this one came out. As usual, I was going to keep it "simple", but start getting some detail in one area, then I feel like I need to add some detail to another area, and so it goes.




I've had this sketch laying around for a while and finally got around to putting some color on it during my Christmas vacation. The left side of her jacket needs a bit of work, but I was just messing around anyway.




I was messing around with the blending modes for the paint texture layer and got this. You can get some interesting results just by trying the different modes. I never would have picked this palette on my own. I liked the way it looked, so I thought I'd throw it up here.
