Strip Search, Season 1, Episode 09 – You Are Your Brand

I would have trouble with this challenge.  I kind of fall in line with Lexxy’s opinions on things, but I’m more of a pushover, so don’t even know how my answers to these questions would have compared.

I’m kind of glad to be able to watch this season from the sideline, so I have an idea of what to expect if I apply for season 2… ^_^;

Useful since I’m trying to figure out what color to paint my room!

Although I’m really not buying their vague explanation for why pink is a “girl’s room” color.  Not only girls need to be calmed by pink. This graphic even says that prisons sometimes use pink to calm down inmates.

Shera, Princess of Power, original artwork.

Shera and her mighty steed, Swift Wind in front of Castle Greyskull.  This was about to stay in sketch purgatory until I finally looked at it again recently and decided to finally finish it.  And like I posted before, yes technically Swift Wind is a pegasus, but I couldn’t fit his wings in without obscuring Shera, so it was a design decision.  And as always, if you would like to purchase this print, then this link is for you.

List of tutorials that helped me with environmental painting:
“How to make your own Perspective Grid in PS” <—- this one is the best thing I’ve ever discovered. Srsly CHECK IT OOOOUUUUT!
Snuffen’s Background Tutorial P1More or less ALL tutorials by Griffsnuff is awesome, so make sure to check out the rest of them!
More or less ALL tutorials made by AquaSixio!

List of youtube channels that also helped and inspired me:

FZDSCHOOLMore or less one of the most known concept art-related resources I know on youtube. It’s great to sit and draw and just listen to the talking.

SinixDesign– This guy is also great! He has some design workshops ever now and then where the viewers can send in their stuff for critique! very encouraging and inspiring!

moatddtutorials– This guy is more into drawing than painting, and has a more cartoony style. He has interesting methods when it comes to perspective. And he also challenge himself in some of his videos (the engine block video is a great example of this)

foxOrian– Also known here on dA for his awesome perspective and composition tutorials. He has a youtube channel where he posts some videos that might be interesting as well.
