Thanks for the comments! ^_^ Expressions are the main reason I draw characters more than environments. But I think I'm a bit obsessed with sunsets, as every time I try to think of a lighting scheme for a scene, my mind immediately jumps to "sunset". Foresty wilderness? Sunset. Urban landcape? Sunset. Random desert planet? Sunset, from multiple suns, probably. Luckily, I haven't done enough paintings for that to get stale. Yet.
Of course, I hope to explore other lighting schemes.I'm glad to see you like my style, Notch! I've been going for a rather angular look, though I guess I forgot all about it when I rendered the clouds, whoops. A big influence on me is
Sycra, an artist who offers really helpful advice on art in general, and primarily uses sharp, pointy, and concave shapes. Contrary to what my post history might suggest, the majority of what I draw are random characters I make up for practice. Most are bland throwaways made for the sake of focusing on a particular concept I'm studying, but happy accidents sometimes happen when I make marks on the page. Here's a compilation of some of the more notable ones:

I tend to draw quite loosely. Most of the time, I don't really have a solid idea of what I'm drawing until the middle/end. Sorry for the messiness. I haven't done a lot of people with personalities in a while because I'm mostly focusing on nailing more complex poses and points of view, resulting in a bunch of mannequins looking funny. But here are my more recent ones that have more character. Also, as an example of a partial world, there's a tornado, which I was really happy to ink with my wicked new brush pen.

As for paintings, I'm planning to work on some not-fanart in the near future, so stay tuned, maybe? =D
