On my trip around Europe, there were many hours spent on trains, boats, planes, and buses, and thanks to my trusty DS Lite, and the homebrew app Colors (can't recommend it highly enough) I was able to use this time to doodle.

So here are the fruits of my labor in chronological order:

This was my first proper sketch using the app, and I believe I was really starting to get a feel for it towards the end, before abandoning this image.

My first speed paint with the app. I think it turned out reasonably well. Unfortunately I accidentally tapped the screen with my palm whilst drawing, and two white lines lashed their way across the image. I painted over them, but they're still visible in places.

Went for some smooth rendering on this one, and was very impressed by how well the app performed.

This is an unfinished portrait of my 5 year old cousin Amy. The likeness really isn't there, but I like the watercoloury feel.

Had some time today in 2D studio while teacher was confused (what's the point of a photoshop teacher who hasn't used any version newer than 5??)......

....and I was toying with the idea of a strategy game (with some empire-building and rpg elements) based purely on scroll-style illustrations:



very rough concept here - the flags represent units and would be changed to show types.  Battles would be more interesting as they would look like a scroll, panning past slightly mobile still-frames of the units engaged.  if i get more time alone with my brushes, some artwork for that might be shown.

That class sucks....I'm soooo tempted to download pixel-pushing software onto the school network so that I can actually get some work done........
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Photoshop IS a pixelpushing software :P

Not the best for easy palette management though...

Excellent idea Adarias. I dislike that font, it's just as a filler for now i'm guessing? Would be cool to hand-write your own.

yeah, it will be replaced with something more attractive and readable, if this ever became a real project :P.  right now partisan is my only hobby and needs to stay that way if i'm to accomplish anything ever ^^

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

Me too. I thought I'd save it for when I had more to say, but I don't really, so there it is!
