I did all of these as dynamic action practice.
They were done at home on my personal sketchbook.
The Batman in the corner is me practicing a classic picture done by Neal Adams.
The rest are done from photo references that I transformed. Most of them look nothing like the originals.
If you want any of these larger let me know and I will make a separate page for them.
any and all copy righted characters belong to their owners and this is all fan art and artistic practice. |

This is a practice painting of Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse from season 2. I really pushed myself with this one I wanted it to look as close as I could get to the actress and the image. I do not own the character. |

I wanted to do something quick and fun.... and I figured it's been a while since I did something from the Labyrinth.
So I grabbed a reference http://cobweb-stock.deviantart.com/art/Black-Prince-Sitting-1-30571814 from Cobweb stock
and a picture of David Bowie and drew.
I felt he should be in the dark...scheming something.

Well I said I would get them up, there is still more that I've done recently.
These are all the sketches I did in August, 2010.
There are a lot of made up characters, and figure practice but I will list the fan art characters in order.
top corner: Colored Elayne Trakand from the Wheel of Time (she is colored in with prisma color pencils and soft pastels),
next to her is a preliminary sketch of Harry Dresden from the Dresden Files, below him is another portrait of him in between Karen Murphy and Thomas Raith,
Storm from the X-Men is below three made up characters and in the bottom corner of the page is Tarzan.
I don't own any of those characters, this is fan art and for fun. |

This started as a sketch in my sketchbook that I did in August.
But I scanned it in and fixed somethings, then painted over it to enforce the effects.
I really love Harry, and the Dresden Files series.
To me out of everything I've read they are some of the best books out there. Most of all they inspire me to draw often. So here is another Harry Dresden doing his thing.
I have more to come of him....lots of half done stuff
I do not own Harry Dresden, this is fan art and a Tribute to Jim Butchers masterpiece. |

***EDIT****
It was pointed out that the fires were on the wrong hands. It has been switched to the correct hands now.
*********************************************
20 Minute sketch of Harry. If you've read the books you'll know what each fire means. I don't want to spoil anything.
I'm finishing "Changes" so yeah, needed to do some art.
I love you Harry! Looking badass as usual. ;)

So I was feeling really artistic and grabbed one of my sketches and colored it.
I'm exhausted so the colors are a bit lazy.
I'm actually not a fan of Snow White but the reference I had could be no other girl but her.
So here it is.

Haven't finished this but I thought I'd post something. all I've been doing is commissions that I can't post yet and school.
Plus, long story short my glasses were shattered over the break and I had to get a new pair and could not work with out them.
***
This is Harry Dresden fighting the werewolf at the end of book 2.
YES I KNOW IT IS INACCURATE
I was going for dynamic, not accurate. But I am considering putting Murphy in the back firing her gun towards Harry. His necklace will be emphasized later.

*** I can't decide what to do for the background. I was thinking a desert temple that is cracked and burned from the battle. Not sure.... read below before you tell me your idea.
So this popped in my head and I thought it would be a great series of covers.
Basically there are three Jedi, Two women.
At first the man is in love with one but she supposedly dies. He feels her get killed in an attack by the sith so he leaves. After grieving for some time he falls in love with the other woman Jedi.
The Jedi woman didn't die, her life was saved be a Sith and she goes to the Dark side and becomes a Sith lord.
She finds out that her lover did not come to save her or even inquire about her, that he has fallen in love with another.
This is the moment of her return and revenge.
She is victorious and takes pleasure in it.
He is shocked, saddened and in great pain....since he has been betrayed and killed. The woman in the back is his Jedi love too late.
I was thinking about doing a series of these in which the woman Jedi goes to kill the sith and maybe becomes one in the process.
Just so I don't have to say it over and over again, After Luke began a new Jedi academy Jedi were allowed to fall in love and have emotion. They are more gray than extremes.
Jedi, Sith and anything Star Wars belongs to George Lucas.
This is fan art. |

So this is a re-do.... which I never EVER do!
the original from 2005 is here http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/Self-Portrait-88240342
I was 15, now I'm 19.
I always loved the concept so I thought to add to my portfolio I would redo it as me today.
The face is a bit off, I will continue working on it.
:)
thought it would be cool to do since Halloween is coming up. |

Most people did squares and triangles.....this is what I chose to do. cause she's hot.

This is the sharpened/darkened/ fixed up version. I'm thinking of coloring it.
I went to Florida for a week.
I drew this in the car while we were passing through North Carolina on the way home yesterday.
Thought I'd do something like King Kong but I like Dragons more.
I'm trying to work on more Dynamic work, I wanted this to look like a cover.
Here is the original sketch http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/Dragon-Kong-Original-Sketch-140836304

Edit:
I was not on drugs, is the answer to what's on everyone's mind. lol I just wanted it to be colorful.
This is the colored version of http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/What-in-the-world-113676431 Sketch.
I wanted to try a color suggestion Loish had so this is what came out.
It was to shade with complimentary or opposite colors of the base colors. This was different, but fun.
As for the background I was going to do a mechanics room, but this was a few hour project and I did not want to spend any more on it.
I've got job hunting to do. |

Ok, since the beach thing didn't really work out...except for DD lol.
I decided to do this. If it doesn't work out I can still try out a rain storm...but that requires lots of sheen on the suit. So I hope this works out.
Anyway I like this a lot more.
Let me know what you all think.
Lots of love,

So I'm taking Art 101....
I know...I know.... It's way below my skill.
But I wanted to go back to the basics and it's actually helping me loosen up. but it's been tough...our first week of "this is how you hold a pencil and this is a gesture drawing" really was tough to bare.
So we had to do five self portraits and then choose one of those drawings and do an impressionistic portrait of it.
I will up load the portrait I used, but it was of me as bat-girl and really realistic. http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/self-portraits-feb-2010-155295494 > Third portrait.
So my professor comes up and says I have a problem focusing on all of the detail and I should do something simple...with weird color combos
Professor: "you should do it like Pacosso."
Me: "No I can't, I hate Pacasso... something else"
Professor: Disnify yourself."
Me: (big smile, high pitched voice) "really!"
So this is me as a Disney character.
I had to take a picture with my camera, I'll see If I can scan it somehow.

| Phoenix sketch
ReddEra Marvel Comics 2009/3/11 10:18
3398 12
So I actually feel like posting one of my drawings here. It's probably the only one I'll post. But here's what I wrote about it on Deviant.
****
I've been seeing lots of artists do a gray background under their lines, and then shade them. I've always thought this was cool but never got to trying it.
I love Jean Grey (The Phoenix) she's my favorite comic book character of all time. So I wanted to test the gray shading with her. I've had this picture of Angelica Bridges that reminds me of Jean. So I used that as a reference. There is a lot more here than the original pose that Angelica is doing. It really took a life of it's own. I'm going to try out the color masking thing with this tomorrow. It's late now.
But let me know what you think. I personally think my art is getting a more professional look to it. That's often my goal. Don't worry I love to improve and try new stuff so I'm not saying I'm done learning. I'm saying it is getting to what I think I want my art to look like professionally.
Anyway, this is a big fav for me. Can't wait to do more.
The eyes remind me of my hero and one of my favorite artists character eyes (AH!) that makes me want to jump up and down with joy. He's so cool, but It's still my style. Which I'm not really sure what that looks like. lol

Best thing I've ever done!!!!!
...So my art jumped again!
I've been itching to experiment with colors and the way I paint, texture and skin. Grayscale - http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/Caprica-Black-and-white-125235779
I painted it in gray-scale, then did colors over top. That made the basic shading end so much earlier! Then I continued to paint on top of the color and experimented with textures. I created a custom freckle brush for her. I just put her photo next to my canvas so I could really look. I am working on stopping the lazy no-looky-itus and really made sure it looked like the photo.
10 hr total with color. Photoshop CS3, Intuos 3 Wacom Tablet.
This is Tricia Helfer as Caprica Six or just Six the most famous Cylon, from Battlestar Galactica. The best show ever made. Period. |

This is the final version of the Batman Vs. Joker poster that I made. This is a smaller version so it cannot be printed larger by anyone.
I own the art, I do not own the characters. This is a personal fan poster done for a client.
On a personal note: Hi everyone :D it has been like two years.....sorry all my life kind of exploded. :) But when I do super hero stuff I will post here |

| Thor Lightning storm - lines

So David told me (which I wanted him to) that my main problems with art are
*lack of dynamic look
*characters IN their environment
*Full body dynamic action
*room for lettering for covers
He really ripped on my old Thor sketch http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/Thor-sketch-128030954
(which it needed)
So I've been wanting to do a redo and really make it cool and bring it to life.
While waiting for my boyfriend to come over I started this and finished the line work today. (10/31/09)
So this is the line work. I will be erasing the lightning lines and painting it in. There will also be a downpour of rain when I'm done. The background mountains will be foggy and the vision will be blurred by the rain the farther back you go. I have mountains draw all the way to the back to let me know to paint it and fog it out. I will have links to the references on the final color. The model is triple H.
the front rocks I looked at bracing_by_LAPIAZ http://lapiaz.deviantart.com/art/Bracing-76451247
the rest of the mountains I'll have to re-find the references.
:)
So does this show that I am at least improving on my problem areas?
