Circadian Contraptions Day 88
The crazy 88. It wasn’t intentional but this here kitten did become part of the crazy 88 due to her eyes. Uneven, wrong tilt.. i dunno, i always have problems with getting 2 similar eyes but meh.. i guess thats yet another thing to practice on.
Circadian Contraptions Day 87
A while ago I’ve drawn an ear. Although it was pretty good, the style i didnt care much for, and it needed some work. This here is another attempt. It’s not quite up to par with the lips and eye yet, but it’s a lot better than the other one i think. More natural, less … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 81
Being in the mood for something weird, I decided to do something about the view from my balcony. I now have a nice view on the mountains and the aurora borealis. As well as a pair of huge lips that seem to be inexplicably floating in the air in the exact same way that bricks … Continue reading

I wanted to do something with surrealism or abstraction. Now the realism bit in this picture is not very well defined. nor was it intended to, it’s there to give the idea of a “real” world vs the more abstract area and line based image on the right. The lines to the right become stronger, … Continue reading

Interested in how these two would mesh together I started messing with pixelation, coloroverlap and repetition. The end result I think is very … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 61
I really love how the lips turned out so figured I’d do the same with the eye. I love the effect i managed to get on it, but the iris colors.. not 100% sold on those. Still, it’s today’s contraption.
Circadian Contraptions Day 60
The second month ends with a big kiss. Today was something of a study in the lighting on the lips, and how to convert a pencil drawing into color.
Circadian Contraptions Day 59
The face i showed before is not complete yet. It needs a frame, it needs a setting. And of course hair. So that is what I did today. I made a nice pixie cut hairstyle and a face shape that should house the rest. It might start looking a bit odd when i combine them, … Continue reading

The mouth. After doing the eyes, the ears and the nose, the mouth of course couldn’t stay behind. I think its interesting how many lines the mouth does not actually have. The outer contour is more hinted at than drawn, except for the shadowy corners and bottom part. And a bit of bonus content … Continue reading
