Sketching random stuff first thing in the morning is the best way to get hands and mind to work.
That, and a mugful of coffee of course. Oh, and Death Metal. And a long bath.
Definitely among the first five best things to do before starting to work, anyway.

Contrarily to what I thought I’ve been pretty consistent with it in the last few days, so much so that I’m almost running out of ideas.
However, I found out that using textured brushes – which creates lots of noise and unexpected results – helps finding shapes where apparently there aren’t. Shapes form directly on the canvas without going through the brain first, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.

Anyway, this is one of the pages of lunch-break thumbs I took home from work.
I have plenty more on my hard drive at Jagex, but this is all I managed to get hold of today.

Plenty of colours I’m not used to. Yellows and loud reds.
I like yellow, I wonder why I never use it.
