Ammo's Art is my little corner of the web to display my artworks. Most of my art is digitally created using various tools, usually Painter XI and a Wacom Cintiq. Some of my other recent work has been dabbles with Copic markers.
I've recently switched to blog format to help me keep my site updated, as I rarely seem to have the time to do it manually these days. There may be a few things missing as I reorganize, so bear with me.
More inking experimentation… this time very much inspired by Adam Hughes’ style of hair inking. Also tried a few different tricks with coloring while I was at it. For a quick and simple pic, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out… I was afraid for a while the hair was going to look horrible I liked this test, I’ll probably mess around with this idea more in the future.
I wanted to recreate a nice inking pen I found for Photoshop in Painter, so I started messing around with a custom brush. This started out as a quick inking attempt that I liked, so I tossed some color on, too. Dezzia is demanding that way.
I’m still not a very good (comic style) inker, but I’m trying! XD This is probably one of my best attempts. I really like my custom inking pen that I have dubbed “inking smoothie”. Mmm, smoooooth.
Just a doodle I did tonight in Photoshop, messing around with some inking brushes from the latest Imagine FX mag, plus some colors tossed on for fun.
I haven’t done any doodles for a while, been pretty exhausted.
As the title suggests, this is an alternate outfit idea for Vale, something a bit sassier than what she’s usually allowed to wear. I doubt it’ll be as low-cut if it makes it into the story, that was a bit of anime-esque flair tossed in for funsies.
Just a goofy idea I had.. came from part of an idea from a 4koma, which then splintered off and I ran from it.
Yes, this is inspired from Scott McCloud’s own ‘toony self. What started as a rather straight forward copy changed a bit when I got going, however, which I’m happy for.
For the worn comic book look, I used most of this tutorial: http://www.bigtimeattic.com/blog/2008/03/tips-and-tricks-coloring-comics-to-look.html .
Like my last doodle of myself, I don’t think I captured my complete roundness.. oh well That’s a pretty simple version of my actual office. I didn’t really feel like drawing in speakers or piles of books and hand cream and toys etc etc.
Two doodles I attempted yesterday – both fairly quick and unpolished. I think I spent so much time trying to make the colors nice, smooth and blendy I forgot how to draw decent faces. >_>
On the left is Vail from Astray, and on the right is my blood elf huntress, Cithara.
This started from me trying to think of something to showcase Sully a little bit, because there needs to be more Sully. So here is more Sully.
I did most of this yesterday, and finished it off after work today. I got Nate a tad on the thin side – I guess this is more like Nate from U1 as opposed to 2 >_> He totally started working out hardcore to impress ‘Lana anyway.
This is actually a bit of Sully’s bar, too – I looked up ref from it’s appearance in the Playstation Home. XD Wasn’t what I was expecting at first, but it really is quite fitting.
This was so fun and really came together fast.

Well this pic was a bit of a struggle.. it’s actually something I started a while back, but just finally picked it up again on my vacation. I think I lost sight of part of what I was planning to do w/ the background. I finally got something I was happy with though.
Been a while since I felt like I had to fight so much with a pic. Glad I finally got it down. Also glad I managed to draw a car go me. I’m not a car junkie so I’m sure it’s not perfect, but for me it’s pretty damn good. Feels good to wrap up something “old” as well.
These lovely ladies are Calhoun, Montrose and Pershing. Yes, they will kick your ass and keep your wallet, too.
So, more reminiscing about allllll the old art I drew using openCanvas… a whole gob of it was Star Ocean fanart. So I decided to draw Nel (again) using openCanvas. It’d been a long time. Feels pretty good, but I’m way too spoiled by Painter these days. openCanvas still produces nice clean lines though – especially for me and my scratchy inking technique >_>
I still love the simplicty of her outfit plus the sassy thigh-high boots. Green-eyed Nel is still the best, too. Drew this pretty entirely from memory, phew. Lots of fun. I think originally it was going to be sort of a Adam Hughes-ish take, but changed my mind pretty quickly.
