Teenage Rant

It's been a while since I've drawn anything in a while =]

Original My Character

I recently finished my portfolio website ( http://artofmarcnellessen.com/ ), so I decided to show it off to a few friends of mine. One response I got, was that it was "ok", tells me her younger sister is better, then she sends me a drawing her younger sister made. It was a psuedo anime drawing that wasn't bad, but still wasn't very good. So in response, I made this lovely piece because I guess my work just isn't up to snuff yet =P

Wave Energy Test Spreads

Just some designs for a portfolio spread.

Dual Hoagies

Did some redesign of an old character! I've renamed him Hoagie the Cowboy. The right drawing was his 2008 design, with the left being the new and improved 2012!

Lee Min Young Painting Finish

Total time spent was about 6.5 hours of painting, and 1.5 of color correction. This turned out nicer than what I anticipated. I could't pick between two versions so I'm leaving both. I like the skin tone on the top one alot, but the darks are blow out too much in my opinion, where as the lower version has nicer value all around.

Lee Min Young Painting

More practice painting! This time it's Lee Min Young from miss A! It's a work in progress, spent a little over 4 hours so far. I like the outline but I'm trying to get rid of it by adding more value. I'm looking forward to the end result.

Birthday Squeeze

A quick sketch I did for my friend's birthday. Her crush is Victor Kim, some dancer or whatever I dunno.
