David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King; Labyrinth Fan-art
Quick digital painting of Jareth from the Labyrinth, done in Gimp. It's not coloured because I'm lazy, though I may get around to completing it in the future.

Digital Art Preview Part 2
I posted the first WIP of this picture yesterday, here's the progress I've made with it in an hour or so.
Yes, I know the eyes are too big, the proportions are severly off, the shading's inconsistent, etc. etc. Oh well. I'm doing this with a laptop trackpad/mouse thingy in Gimp, in case you're wondering. Thinking I might turn this into a full picture with a body and such, but a creature that isn't completely human.

Steampunk Silicone iPod Case Modification
So, after looking at a ton of Steampunk-ified iPod cases, speakers, computers and such, I decided to turn one of my cases into something more unique.
Clearly I should've thought my project through better at first, since there were a number of troubles I encountered. Namely; my iPod being a Nano 4th Gen and thus having a round body, not having any real equipment or expertise and only using things I could find around the house.
I completed the project in a few hours, and didn't buy anything for it. I used a black silicone case for the base, some old gold paint, a heap of parts I gained from tearing apart an old clock, and some gorgeous mahogany vinyl of sorts I ripped off a jewellery box. Also, I think it's safe to say I used up more glue on this project than one might in a lifetime!
Here's a picture of the completed product. Note that I am an absolute amateur.
The front boasts glue, glue and more glue. A semi-translucent plastic clock gear is stitched on, leaving a gap before the mound of small screws painted gold and submerged in glue (which you can't really see in this shoddy photo). Gold paint has been used to give it a kind of wrought-metal look, and frayed mahogany vinyl sewn to the bottom with some matching thread glued on.
The back consists mainly of a big piece of that fabulous vinyl crookedly and messily sewn on. Various gears and clock parts are attached via either the same trusty-ol'-super-glue or needle and thread.
So, there you have it, folks! I'd say about a month before it falls apart completely. I hope to one day re-do this project with the proper supplies, equipment, brass bits and bobs, and more time - but until then, this'll do.

Emotive Eye
Yet another sketch I did in the middle of class one day, shared here via my not-very-excellent-image-quality mobile phone camera.
Innocent Eyes
Another quick sketch I did in class a while ago.

Done in class a while ago, not the full picture since I don't have a scanner that works with this laptop at the moment.
