The eternal Piedra

 This is just another spontaneous sketch I attempted while I tried my best to steer myself away from the ongoing character and personality design course. I initially started out by drawing one of the main characters from my upcoming story, "The Third revelation", but turns out, I felt summoned by those wavy medieval damsels with heavy lashes once again. As for my upcoming story, I will be posting some illustrations as soon as I'm done with the last chapter.   

The holiday mutt

Our resident dog from the NID campus, with perhaps a whole catalogue of names to its credit. Add two pairs of white stockings and a pair of melting brown eyes and you have our darling lil mutt. Loves to burrow into the sand to avoid the sultry weather and of course, sleep off those extremely long afternoons. A common visitor to our BBC area, enticing us with its feverish wags. A real gem of our campus.  

Nymphadora

This was an illustration that I attempted during the Visual Language lectures last semester. Back then, I started out by drawing random features in detail without really knowing what the form would end up like. I wouldn't really call it a sea horse, but I guess the form came through after watching many underwater documentaries that month. :P.

The Carbon groove

Another friendly mutt from my neighbourhood black lab society known by the name of "Carbon". He is such a cool dog. And let me tell you there's a limit to how cool a dog can be. This kiddo didn't even know how to bark till two months back! Unlike my dogs, he doesn't seem to have a panic button in his system, this guy won't even bother the newspaper chap. Totally chilled out. I don't know but I kept getting this image of the hippie seventies whenever I looked at him!?! So I did this photoshoot on him and dug my eyes into some playful rendering techniques as soon as I reached home. He may not be the ultimate guard-dog, but he sure can groove!!

Backyard aesthetics

My mom's vegetable garden has been doing quite well this month. Thanks to the never-ending downpour, even the pests seem to have taken a back seat and let Gaia unfurl her magical harvest. I was particulalry impressed by how well the pumpkin grove was doing, and as I moved in for a closer look under the bamboo frame, I was amazed by the way the light came filtering through the bamboo mesh and accentuated the creepers. I don't know, but it looked pretty to me! :P If I were to choose the most beautiful vegetable, I'd choose brinjal (don't have those growing right now!) because I simply love the deep tone, unlike any purple I've seen before and the smoothness of its surface. Gawd, you must be thinking I'm crazy!!
