Sorry for the Major Delay of Posts.

Hey everyone hope you are enjoying the new year. Sorry I wasn't blogging for roughly the past two months but I do have a good reason.
Near the end of November to the beginning of January I actually had two jobs one at Odeon and one at Sainsbury's and let me tell you it was hard working at both jobs. Luckily Odeon was temporary so I only had to last for one month. However I am on probation at Sainsbury's so I won't know if they want me to work there permanently until, I believe, in March.
I won't lie it was very hard working at both places, mostly trying to balance my rota so I can try to work at both jobs. There were times that I wanted to quit , mainly during the first week because I had to be in at both Odeon and Sainsbury's on the same day but not the same time. However I suck it up and tried my best to work at both companies and it was worth it because now I will have some money which I will use to upgrade my PC.
I haven't upgraded my PC yet because I still need more MONEY, wow I sound like Scrooge before he changed.
Even though I left Odeon I will miss working with the employees there because they were fun, Sainsbury's employees are fun too it just I won't meet the employees at Odeon as much as I want, unless I want to watch a film lol.

Have you guys worked at two or more jobs before let me know as for me it's back to posting on my blog from once every two weeks/month. So until next post take care.

Shub-Art Work in Progress 02: Bayonetta, Plus a competition to win a free Mischief drawing software.

Hey everyone sorry I have not been posting much on my blog lately, I was looking for work and I went on vacation on the weekends. I also got two things I want to post: an update to an old picture and a competition that an artist youtuber is taking part in.

First as some of you now besides the Albert animation I am working on I am also drawing a picture of the video game character Bayonetta for my sister.
I have just updated the line art of Bayonetta which was not easy because I had to add all the detail to her weapons and her clothes. Here is a comparison between the old picture I posted on 30th September 2013 and the recent image I finished.

Bayonetta Line Art 2
The second announcement is that I came across an interesting competition where the lucky person can win a drawing soft named Mischief for free all you have to do is draw using the software. One of the judges is Stevraybro and he posted a video about the competition.

Stevrayrbo's Mischief Contest! - Artistic Escape


If you are interested then take part the theme is Artistic Escape, or try out the software for 15 days at at http://www.madewithmischief.com/downloads.html. Also if you do try it out but don't want to take part in the competition you can by the software for a cheap price, at least when compared to the more expensive digital painting software. Good luck and have fun :)

Shub-Work 01: Update

Sorry I haven't posted anything on Friday the 11th I was busy finishing up on a model I have been putting off for a long time, and it is an updated rig of my character Albert. 


Don't worry I will have a playblast of the rig in action very soon.

*I have finished the Previs to show off the new rig and Blend Shapes*
The only difference this model has when compared to his older model is that now Albert has an FK/IK switch on both his legs and arms. I did have a lot of problems when updating this model for instances some how the mesh was not connected to the rig so I had re-skin the entire model again.

Also the blend shapes controls did not work so I had to reapply them to the head again, but when doing that a few of the blend shapes did not operate properly so I had to make a new set.

Example 1 of old Blend Shape working

Example 2 of old Blend Shape not working

To make things more trouble some both of Albert's eyelids also were not working so I had to remake them too. The good news is that I found some helpful tutorials on how to make cartoon eyes in maya.

*Here is the Previs*


Yet besides all of these set backs it was all worth it in the end.

I might take a break from this and start finishing on my fanart for my sister. Hopefully it won't take me this long to actually start working on animating him.

Shub-Art Work in Progress 01: Bayonetta

Sorry for not being too active last week I was sick but I am feeling much better now. The next picture i am making was a request from my sister, she asked me to draw her the game character Bayonetta. Partly because my sister felt I need to draw more female characters and also Bayonetta is her favorite character.


As you can see Bayonetta it is not finished but that doesn't mean I can't talk about it. The idea I had was having her surfing down a building while shooting at baddies, but that idea might change in the future I don't know I was going for a really cool pose instead of those boring sexy pose that most artists draw Bayonetta in. The hardest parts to draw was her guns on her hands and her glasses everything else was not that bad.

This is all I have to show for now, sorry it's not a finished picture like my last two but I don't want to ruin my scheduled of posting my stuff every two weeks or a month.
Hopefully I will finished this picture so I can work on and even cooler picture in the future.

Shub-Art 01: Dog House 01

It's been two weeks so here is my second picture.


DogHouse 01 by ~Shub125 on deviantART

It just a picture of a guy and his dog Biscuit going out for walkys. Nothing weird there unless you count a dog possessing his own doghouse.

This is an idea I have where an owner has a dead dog that can possess anything, the dog chooses his own house because he feels comfortable. The rest of the idea is just about them doing their own things just the dog is supernatural.

Well that's all today, don't know what I will draw next, maybe more adventures of the owner and Biscuit the dog. Who knows I might come up with a name for the owner by then :)

An update on my blog.

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on my blog forever just got massively distracted by things *cough* games *cough*. Anyway to those who don't know what happened on my trip here's the sort version. It was fun, enjoyed Anime Expo, ten times better then London Expo. Thinking of going to Anime Expo again but the trip is pretty pricey so I don't know.

Next I am going to talk about the future of my blog, I am thinking of turning this into a drawing blog where I will post some drawings once every two weeks or month. Hopefully this will give me something to do as well improving on drawing skills.

To start things off here is my first fanart of one of coolest Street Fighter characters Vega.


Vega Fanart by ~Shub125 on deviantART

I actually made this to get signed by one of his voice actors. I drew him in my style for fun, I did get some advice from friends on shading him in photoshop and how to ink him nicely. Adding in details to his gold bands and tattoo was also fun.

This is what I got so far, I am planning to make some more so take a look at my blog once in a while.
Take care and have a nice day, also leave some feedback to let me know on what to improve on.

Drawing Practice 01

Hey everyone sorry I haven't been posting much on my blog, it was a bit of laziness and my motherboard broke. 
So during that time I decided to improve on my drawing skills. I used some random life drawing images from a site that had a link to it. The site is call sycra.net and the link is under resources, the link is called pixelovely.

I also did some doodles just for fun as well as another way to improve on my drawing skills.










That is all I have to show for now. Once again I won't be posting too much because I will be going on a trip to Los Angeles next week. I hope it will be fun and when I come back I will try to remember to post about my trip. So until next time take care everyone.
