Music tips for you who paint at night

Just wow. I got so emotional and inspired by it. How could I not have heard this song before?
Hope everyone's doing well, I also wanna say hello to all my newest followers! Thanks for following the blog and hope you'll have a good time reading it :)

Early morning

Today has started early... But is a beautiful day, the sun is shining outside like crazy. Feels like summer but still it's barely spring yet.

Got lots of stuff that I want to have done today so time to get busybusybusybusy...

Here's a wip of a commission. Moar horsies :)
I just love grey horsies so I'm not complaining at all hehe.

Now I'm off for some breakfast + coffe. Then I gotta finish up those sketches so I can hand them over to the client.

And theeeeen Chicken time! Why don't you check out or progress? CLICK ME BABY!

Moar horsie

Hey hey!

Here's a nother horse wip. I'm really enjoying these fast speedies, I'll make some more.
And also, a secret plan is starting to grow in my head.. Don't wanna talk about it yet though, cause then my motivation would go away, hehe.

Seems like Sweden is finally becoming a warmer country now, the sun is shining and the snow seems to be melting for once. I've never seen this much snow as this year ever, and I've been living her almost my entire life. Spring is more than welcome now though.. Oh and my cat is poking me, think he's hungry.

Will give him some food and then back to work!

Digital paintovers and children's books

Hey hey hey all!

Sorry for being all quiet this last week, been busy busybusy!
Both making illustrations for a children's book, plus the deadline for the CGtalk contest is closing in (k, still about 40 days left but still). Doesn't seem that I'll be a ble to enter that single contest though, maybe if I get some turboboost this week or so by some kind of a miracle.. Oh well, if not now, then I'll definitely enter next time!
Our group project for this contest is really fun to work on anyhow, I'm really enjoying it so far!

Here's a rather rough digital paintover I just finished up of one of the models. I made the character design, Boba Subin modeled the first version and Carolina Årnäs made the final model of her.


I'll be back with moar art soon :)

Livestream works better

noukah on livestream.com. Broadcast Live Free

Found a better place to broadcast from. Livestream, and it works a whole lot better for me than Ustream.
I'm still experimenting with the resolution, this one still feels rather bad. Hope to be figuring that out as well. This one's without sound, but you'll be able to hear me next time as well.
So from now on, you may see me broadcast from here whenever I got some time to spare :)
He'res a recording from when I'm working on one of my horsies. It's a very stylised arabian, some people have noticed that he looks rather weird ;D

Chi-hoo

Ping.


Caterpillar yeeeeey. Blue tones are hard.
And appearently I need some sleep. Re-uploaded this one to sketchaholic like 6 times, cause it got either sloppily cropped, or the sig got mirrored (ughh..) or such. But now it's there. All proper and... Done at the moment.

Now sleep!
And tomorrow: keep working on the chicken project. Gonna draw a turnaround of a fluffy lil' chick.
Hope everyone's doing well!
Hugs and goodnight.

Not much today

Haven't have time for painting traditionally for two days. Have waaaay too much to do for the sideprojects I'm working on.
Just finished up for today, so now I'm off to continue working on my version of the Caterpillar for the chiustream :) I feel so inspired!

Here's a horse WIP for you so you have something to look at meanwhile.

Unfortunately the Ustream didn't work out that well this other day, it kept lagging and disconnecting. Gotta find a better solution for it... Hmpf.
Oh well!

Ciao!

A quick broadcast test

Just trying out this drawing live thingie :)

New update

Here's another update of how far I got yesterday.
Started adding some washes of gouache now and build up some details and shapes.
Will post more updates maybe tomorrow :)

Also I'm superhappy, cause my Cheshire Cat piece got into Kei Acedera's 20 favororite pieces in the contest, so I won a limited edition print from them - YAY :) It felt incredibly cool seing her holding up a print of my piece on the chiustream yesterday. Can't thank her too much.

They're so darn cute, and you can get your own at: Link

Ok, enough slacking!
