It's All in the Eyes

Name: Waheed

One of the most unsettling and thought-evoking experiences one can have is to look into the eyes of a person with special needs. It is at that time that the word handicapped does not apply to the person you are looking at... but rather is more apt for the reflection that one sees in his eyes.

A quick study on digitally painting skin. Undeniably one of the toughest thing to pull off convincingly given the subsurface scattering that occurs when light hits the skin.

Waheed... only God knows why you were chosen for such a heavy responsibility. The only thing I know is that you are truly a gift for this family... a mirror that shows everyone their real selves and makes them want to be better people. God bless you.

A Man I Know

This is the very same person who has countlessly asked me to market his blogs:

dreamstream grime

and

everything mental

So... here goes... to the 1 Follower that I have on this blog... Please check out these blogs for an absolutely refreshing doze of paranoia and mental masochism.

All your money back if by the end of reading a post you don't feel the urge to pick up the cushiest pillow in the room, lie on the bed, place the pillow on your face and press till your eyes pop out and your legs make like a chicken's. THERE... Marketed.

For the craziest guy I know... My love... My brother.

Heres a super quick sketch of a devil that I know. DO NOT BE DECEIVED by the extremely docile look towards the horizon. Think Puss-in-boots in Shrek. She has just woken up and is eying the house parrot.

No toy will live to see tomorrow. No person will go dry.

This is probably my last one for tonight. Too much sketching never did anyone any good.

Latest Sketch

Well... given that I am sketching A LOT nowadays owing to my lectures on Advanced Drawing, it only makes logical sense that I digress from my regular subjects slightly. Here's a random anatomy study on my Wacom... :) No 3D going on at the moment due the fact that my laptop decided to pack up on me. Sketching is all I can do on it now.

Lots of hatching and cross hatching on here. Enjoy!

Progress

And finally my laptop has shown me the proverbial middle finger and gone into a state of amnesia... yes... i am referring to the memory getting messed up. Given the circumstances... progress isn't much... but oh well... figured i'd still post this.

This is NOT a render... just merely a Print Screen... so don't start about the very strange edges and stuff.

On with our work then...

Plenty of slumbering, catching up on quality family time and lots of day dreaming seems to have gotten to me (about time). I have just started a new sculpt. This is a test for a new short film that I have just started working on.

Things are fairly hush-hush at this point... but as soon as the script and the characters get finalized... I shall share more. Till then... its this sculpt and plenty of sleepless nights... WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
