Work I forgot to throw on here!

SO I do a lot of doodling during my lunch breaks at work. Here's some stuff from the past few months I think I forgot to put on here...

some prohibition drinkers, reference from Ken Burns: Prohibition

 reference is a special forces soldier in afghanistan

 just a goon

bruins/blackhawks doodle

 doooodle

dooodle.

So yeah, I still draw sometimes, I swear!!!

OTTER

I'm dating/surround by Sabres fans. So here's my favorite Sabre, Steve Ott. And.. John Scott. Because.

Photoshop, around 2hours. Cardboard bg texture by cgtextures.com

Finally made some art for myself.

 My favorite Red Wing: Henrik Zetterberg. About 1.5 hours... Photoshop.
Also... Good LORD do I want one of those beautiful 2013 winter classic jerseys. So awesome.

 thirty minute warm up.. as usual, i got caught up in the face...

20 min scribble... definitely not that great.

Spacegalov

Welcome back, NHL. I am not a Flyers fan, but Ilya Bryzgalov is probably the funniest player in the league to me. So, here's him as a cosmonaut. I took a famous picture of Yuri Gargarin and found a pic of bryz, combined the two and painted away.

Speedpaint.

about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Sergei Fedorov

Aaand another red wing. This took about two hours all together. Photoshop. Had a lot of fun with it :)

and here's the version with no colorin' on it.

Niklas Kronwall #55

Niklas Kronwall of the Detroit Red Wings.

Photoshop, about 2 1/2 hours.

Had a good time with this.

Go Wings!!!

Datsyuk winking speedpaint

I think it took about an hour, somewhat over?

Oh well. Pavel Datsyuk, of the Red Wings, winking. Because he's disgustingly good. Cheeky bastard.

Ref image snagged off the twitter account @notpaveldatsyuk which is hilarious.

eh, could be better. Still pulling myself out of this art rut hole i've dug myself into.

I'm in a rut

I'm having an awful go of it lately. I can't seem to paint well at all right now. Nothing's going how I want it to. To say it's depressing and frustrating doesn't even begin to cover it.

Well, here's another struggling failure. I was trying to paint Gil Perreault. It's... not where I want it to be. But again, I figure I should post my failures as well as my successes.

I'm sorry. I'll try to get my ability back soon. I feel like a bird whose wings have been burnt off. or something else metaphorically horrible. I'm really disappointed and I don't know how to break out of it.

datsyuk n doodles.

Pavel Datsyuk. Red Wings. Awesome.
I spent maybe 45 minutes on this. It's definitely not my best work, especially if I compare it to the portrait I did of Sawchuk or even the quick paints of McDonald and Lidstrom.
I didn't get the likeness like I usually do.

I hope to do another, better one at some point. But you gotta post your not so good failures with your accomplishments. Such is progress.
oh here's a ten minute or something scribble i did. Yeup.

Terry Sawchuk

One of the more tragic sports heroes. Former Detroit Red Wings goalie Terry Sawchuk. With one helluva scarred up face.
Photoshop, couple hours.

McDonald!!!

Lanny McDonald, of the Calgary Flames at this point. Quite a guy. Good player and a good man. And a rockin' stache. 45 minutes, photoshop. Speed paint so it's loose.

Lidstrom!!!

Detroit Red Wings. Nicklas Lidstrom. :D Less than an hour, photoshop.
