Antlers, and roses, and furs, oh my!

After the Windows 8.1 update, I had some issues with my tablet, but then I fixed it and this happened.

 It's what I set out to do when I first had the image in my mind, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Zodiac #04. Taurus

Here is the completed illustration for Taurus:

Because of the hiatus, I'm not sure who will come up next. It might be Aries, who I skipped, Gemini who came next after Taurus, or Scorpio who is November's sign. Either way, stay tuned!

Taurus Progress

This is not quite Aries, and we are not quite in May, but here is Taurus! The progress of it at least.

Here we have the initial sketch/lineart, basic color blocking, and then I fixed some proportion issues and moved into detailing.
Final piece coming up soon!

Zodiac #03. Pisces

And like I said yesterday, here is Pisces:

"Silver/grey" is a tough color scheme to work with, without making it look black and white, but I'm rather fond of how it came out.

That's it for March, up next, Aries!

Pisces Progress

Okay, so I'm not going to lie, I did fall a bit behind this month with Pisces, but it is now finished!
The post for that will come tomorrow, in the meantime here are some WIP shots.

Here they are, from the inital sketch to almost finalized. Check back tomorrow for the final version!

Zodiac #02. Aquarius

And so another month, and with it another illustration.

As with Capricorn, I'm very thrilled at the end result, particularly the vortex, since there was a lot of trial and error with it.
Up next, Pisces!

Aquarius Progress

It's almost the end of the month, and I'm happy to say it's down to the last details for Aquarius now. In the meantime, I thought I'd show more progress before the "big reveal" tomorrow:

It's the lineart with flat shading, basic values in colors, and then I start jumping into details.
Stay tuned for the final tomorrow!
