Cute Sci-Fi Characters

Some fun little sci-fi character designs I came up with.

 

Exercise - Loish's Style!

I love the artwork of Loish: http://blog.loish.net/

She's got crazy amounts of talent. I wanted to try my hand at mimicking a couple pictures of her, and then apply what I learned to a piece of my own.

Here are the copied images (I apparently need to color correct my cintiq >.< that girl turned out so red!):

And then here's the image I came up with on my own:

Oh man, the thing that made me that saddest was failing miserably at getting those rich brush strokes she has in many of her images. I still thoroughly enjoyed this exercise. I'm hoping to do this with a few other artist styles in the future. 

Again, please visit the various sites of Loish! I feel shady copying images without giving credit to the appropriate person all over the place :)

Hillary the "Drunk Monkey"

Occasionally I get requests from friends to draw a picture that illustrates an inside joke of theirs. Here's one of them!
