Alice Madness Returns - Revision


Hey, hey, hey! Well, I'm pretty proud of this one, because of the change on perspective (my first attempt), the items I've drawn (I think I've never done a full set before, it was just characters, but never "decoration"), the character design and the proportions pretty much.
I was playing "Alice Madness Returns" while studying, so during my breaks in the library I started to draw this based on the game's character. As you can see there are some similarities, but I tried to make an original design of the dress and also of the things I've drawn surrounding her, that try to represent each of the things you might find in Wonderland.
It was so much fun mixing different media:
Corset's details are done with a blue fountain-pen, while the hair and he eye-browns were done with black pen, the boots, eye-lashes and gloves are done with a black Chinese gel-pen (not that the origin matters, but I found it on the floor one day and it's got Chinese writing on it, so I found it interesting), red and blue details with JANUS 2160 Faber-Castell, and all the other colours with mechanical pencil (with colour mines), and the shadows were all done with either 2B or 3B pencil.

"Stuffed Chicken"


This was one of the Art Projects I had when I was in Hebron High School (2008). I had never sewed more than two pieces of material when I was 5 to make a dress for my doll (yes, I once did that). So this was, as pretty much any kin of art project I did that year, a challenge because I was learning while doing this project. It was based on the food my mother  makes for Christmas and then I adapted it to my abilities and the medium I had (I chose material because I was pretty confident I'd be able to learn how to sew properly).
So basically, we have here a chicken in a wooden table, baby carrots, cut potatoes, little onions, and pieces of bread in a basket. All needed to be of the same material you've chosen to be your medium, so that's why it was also hard to do, specially the damned basket.

Alice Madness Returns - Hysteria


So... a year ago I started playing "Alice Madness Returns" and quit after getting stocked in a part where I was dying every single time. Then I started last weekend to play again because of a friend, who showed interest on the game. I loved the hysteria skin the moment I saw it, although all the skins in this game are pretty neat. Honestly, the whole game appearance is awesome, but it's not exactly the kind of game I like. I think I play it for the story and the graphics actually.
Anyhow, I did this little sketch based on the Hysteria Skin from Alice. I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun with the blood

Old Self-Portrait


I did this in Art Class when I was 16 (2008) and I was quite proud of it. My parents never expressed as much emotion as my art teacher, so I kind of forgot about it for a long time and became a shame because for a long time I thought it wasn't as good as I believed, but my mother sent me this pictures, so I'm guessing she now likes it, and it has become a reason for being proud again.
I had never used chalk before, so that was a challenge that you can see I had to fight through this piece, starting with the bottom and finishing with the face, that doesn't look at all like me, but I think it's quite ok.
I don't like the face, but I love the hands and the top of the shirt, and I'm pretty happy with the hair.


Sad thing is that I don't think I've gotten much better since this because this is the first and only chalk piece I've ever done, and I feel like if I wanted to do another, I'd have to start from the beginning again.
