March of Robots entry: Supermodel Fembot Lips

This is a piece that had to get onto paper as soon as it was envisioned.  I had originally thought of it in a metallic finish -even a flat grey- but the allure of red ultimately overcame that idea, and I needed it to easily convey the look of lips.  They are inspired by Emily DiDonato's.  I'm very satisfied with the upper lip, but referencing the outward folds in the lip flesh didn't allow for such a complicated pattern on the bottom lip- so they turned out more square.  The original sketch (after the jump, cat fur strand in-tact) took about 40 mins and the paint-over took about 3 hours.

Enjoy!

Colors of Summer

Summer is here once again, so here's a fresh season opener for my dear readers.  Here to welcome you is the delightful Emily Didonato (same model as "Evil or Ecstasy").  The biggest challenge of this piece was showing the proper form and mixing the colors smoothly enough for her right biceps.  Although there are a number of colors across her arm, I feel like it would've been easier if I had a firm grasp on what the muscles beneath were doing.  At CCS I never had a proper anatomy class, so I've never done a good muscle study.  I think it's high time I try one.  Hit the jump for the line layout.   

Evil or Ecstasy

This piece is meant to convey the presence of an unsettling duality of expression; ambiguity of evil and ecstasy.  I'm quite sure there are a lot of facial communications I don't even realize I've included.  I do wish I had a better understanding of these.  The reference model was Emily Didonato.
