Ball Jointed Pony
I feel really bad for being inactive for the last few months. I've been working on some projects, though, so I've decided to upload a few WIPs, to let people know I'm still alive and working on art.
One thing I really want to make is a ball jointed, posable dragon. Hopefully with a modular design, so all sorts of styles are possible. So, I've started on a ball jointed pony, because it's complicated enough that if I can do this, I can make an awesome dragon. Also, I think learning software is more fun when I can learn with ponies.![;)]( ";) (Wink)")
This one has both the wings and horn, because either element can be deleted easily. I used unicorn Twilight and Rainbow Dash as references, to try and get the proportions right. There are currently around 16 joints in the model. The wing design is rather simplistic, but it is easy to work with, and doesn't carry distracting levels of detail.
I might be able to print this through a friend of a friend. I assume the first few will fail, since it's the first time I've done anything like this, but while I troubleshoot and perfect this model, I am saving up for a 3D printer of my own.![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
Anyway, comments and criticism are welcome, as always!
I'm trying to get caught up and on top of things, so please bear with me.

Nargacuga WIP
Basically, on top of my other projects, I got the urge to make crafts!
It's been a few years since I made an actual costume for cons. The last one I did was Guilmon, which was a lot of fun.
I see all sorts of neat armor from Monster Hunter, but I've never run into a costume of one of the monsters themselves... Although, I've seen one or two online.
So, I'm building a Nargacuga. It is my favorite creature from Monster Hunter, after all.
The eyes have red LEDs, for rage mode, and the ears are built on Nekomimi ears, from Neurowear.
I've always wanted to build those into something.![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
This is a decently early WIP. I'll hopefully be finishing the head soon, with some fake bear fur, and moving on to the body. The blade wings will be especially fun to make.

Nordguard: Corps Platoon
It's been quite a while since I've uploaded... or stayed on top of comments and such... so I'll post a journal on that. For now, art!
One of the projects I've been working on lately is the Nordguard card game. I contributed some item illustrations for the main set, back when that was first released, but in the new expansion, "Tribes of the White Land," I have been able to contribute some Event and Location illustrations, too! So, that's one several things I've been working on lately.
This one is for the card "Corps Platoon."
The "Tribes of the White Land" expansion will be released at Anthrocon 2015, this weekend. If anyone wants to see more about the game, or how it's played, there is a how to play video online. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ukDu…

Nordguard: Tikaani Village
This is one of the Location card illustrations I made for the new Nordguard set.
It'll be on sale at www.sofawolf.com/products/n...… after the con!
I'm not going to upload all the art that I contributed from the set, but I will be uploading a few pieces. I'm quite proud of many of them, so I want to post them on here.![:)]( ":) (Smile)")

Nordguard: Black Powder Burial
One more upload from Nordguard, for now.
I actually drew many more cards than the ones I've posted, but I think posting a few might be better than uploading them all.![;)]( ";) (Wink)")
I'm rather pleased with how the explosions turned out in this one, and it was a lot of fun to draw, too.

Nargacuga Head
This is the finished Nargacuga head that I've been working on. It's been a while since I made that Guilmon, so I've been feeling the need to make another costume for cons...
The Nargacuga has my favorite design of all the creatures in Monster Hunter, although the Dire Miralis, Lagiacrus, and Najarala are up there, too. There are actually a lot of designs that I like in those games. Hopefully, the Narga will be back in MH Cross...
Anyway, I'm going to keep building Nargacuga pieces, until I have a full costume.![:D]( ":D (Big Grin)")
It has LED eyes, for rage mode, an articulated jaw, to bite all those pesky hunters, and Nekomimi ears, for maximum adorableness.
Costume status:
Head: Done!
Wings: ~30%
Body: 0%
Feet:~20%
Tail: Done!
The Nargacuga itself, and the icon come from Monster Hunter, by Capcom.

3D Ball Jointed Pony Print: Alicorn
This is the printed version of the ball jointed pony that I've been working on modeling. It is quite poseable, and has 25 points of articulation, with a total of 33 parts. I made Unicorn, Pegasus, and Earth Pony versions, as well, but the Alicorn was the most useful one to print, to test both the fitting of both the wings and horn. Perhaps, one of these days, I'll paint it, and design some alternate pieces, like different styles of manes and tails. I went with a short, generic mane on this one, because my main goal was to make all the joints work. ![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. I've even thought of making a bunch of these, setting up a con booth, and painting ponies for people.![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
I might make the model available on Shapeways, for other people to purchase and assemble, too.
One of the things I'm currently working on is a poseable ball jointed dragon. Since I am new to 3d modeling and printing, I thought I'd try to learn the process, with a much simpler Pony. The dragon model will be more challenging...

Skybax
Anyone remember Dinotopia?
I've been working on some more digital art again, and Dinotopia is a setting that I always have a soft spot for, so I thought I'd make some fanart of a Skybax.![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
Buildings, and settings like this are difficult for me, so this one gave me some good practice, I think. I tried to include all sorts of details from the setting, too.
Enjoy!![:)]( ":) (Smile)")

Arcane Cosmology
Woo! Dragon! It's been too long. ![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
I've been thinking of starting on a set of elemental dragons... And, I mean scientific elements, not the classical ones.
This one is the concept associated with Hydrogen. It's the most common visible element in the universe, primary fuel source for stars, and the main component of nebulae.
The nebula wings were my favorite detail to work with on this one. I thought of adding more spikes and other detail, as well as the MSDS data sheet, but I think there's a value in keeping some things simple, too.
Helium is also quite common, but that may be something for another time.![;)]( ";) (Wink)")
I'll probably jump around, and start with some of the most interesting elements, instead of go in order. I think this project might be a good source of inspiration and good practice using information to develop the characters and scenes.![:)]( ":) (Smile)")
Downloadable in 5K resolution. Enjoy!

Nargacuga Sticker Sheet
I've been enjoying Telegram recently, and I've seen some rather fun sticker sets. So, I decided to make one based on a Nargacuga, from Monster Hunter.
I might do another, more dragon-y one, and maybe some templates, some time.
This one was tough because most of the expressions I draw can be approximated with "awesome" or "dragon".
Out of these, the fluffy one was probably my favorite to make.
The anime references in #2, and #11 were fun, too.![;)]( ";) (Wink)")
If anyone else wants to use them, you can add them here: telegram.me/addstickers/Narga
This was a rather fun exercise.

Enchanted Mineralology
Finished more art! Enjoy!
This one is sort of an earthy counterpoint to my previous picture, and I've been considering using it for Silicon, but even quartz is SiO2, so it contains more Oxygen than Silicon. Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, right behind Oxygen. Maybe this should actually be the elemental dragon for Oxygen, then...![;)]( ";) (Wink)")
I'll have to think about that.
Anyway, I tried a new experiment with painting over some of my line art on this piece. I'm rather pleased with the end result. I really want to practice more, and push my art farther. I'll probably make some more speedpaints soon, to experiment and help refine my methods.
Comments and criticism are always welcome.

Dragonflight
Finally done with another piece of art.
I made the sketch for this one last year, but couldn't seem to finish it. The perspective is extremely challenging... I liked the idea a lot, though, so I saved the sketch, and finished it up. It feels like a personal triumph to complete it, and hopefully shows a bit of progress, too.
Now, I'm looking forward to trying a few exercises that I've been planning, for a while.
Enjoy the art!

Guilmon Sticker Set
After a conversation about how there needs to be more Digimon sticker sets, I felt like making a Guilmon one. He is my favorite Digimon, and stickers are a really fun way to practice expressions. I haven't drawn Guilmon in what seems like forever, so it was a fun bit of fanart to make. Let me know what you think about the expression choices, as well!
