Busy September

Hey everyone, I've had a very crazy September! A perfect storm of all of my bills being due, a eviction notice scare (not my fault woot), having company over, and then getting sick?! This month was rough, at least my Birthday dinner was good. Ha! So below you'll find everything that I've done since my last post. I'll try to detail here and there but for the most part I've just wanted to show that I've still got a pulse over here! Still working on that self education, if you care to help out feel free to donate! All donations go to gumroad tutorials or bigger online courses / lessons to get into. Thanks!

Oh yeah, I also started twitch streaming too! You can find me @ https://www.twitch.tv/dougburbridgeart , I haven't done as much as I'd like but I'll be picking it back up very soon, since you know, September kicked my ass.

Below are some of my works during and around this crazy September, in no particular order.


Did this in a sitting to share on a stream. Decided to paint Blade because with all the Marvel hype it feels like he's been forgotten. This was done Aug 24th

Color & Lighting Photo Thumbnail Studies. Had a bit too much fun with the colored one, either way it was good eye training.




Did this one to practice my greyscale to color.  Still defaulting to a naked lady, so this one was me trying to get it out of my system by going at it in full. I still may pick this one up, the idea was a Lady of the Lake with an awesome sword. Clothed? Maybe. Maybe not.  Started this around the 5th of Sept, last touched.. ha on my birthday. Cool fact, I did some of my first twitch streaming with this piece. I'll be streaming again very soon.

Hey this guy was a fun doodle, I'd lie if I said Destiny wasn't a bit of an inspiration. done Sept 12th.

While company was over, I was suggested to make a scary tribal mask. Then to do a Fallout-like version. Sept 17th. 


Tried to do some rifle iterations, but thanks to noodling I just got wayyy too detailed on one. I'm sure you can guess which. Sept 23rd.

Just some sketching, varied stuff throughout the month. 


Ghost in the Shell's Motoko. She's always my default, I swear I planned on giving her clothes. Banged this one out yesterday Oct 1st.


So that's about it folks! I've tried to make up by not getting any posts done in September with this big one here. I've got a lot on my plate to work on, two HUGE awesome books from Scott Robertson, How to Draw & How to Render, as well as some awesome gumroad tutorials from Anthony Jones to nab thanks to some birthday money. 

Always forward!
