A fresh start hopefully

As you can see I've given this baby a fresh coat of paint and all that and am considering trying to actually use it for something. My tumblr will forever be my artblog but must be something good I can use this for in the mean while. I've also began deleting old posts on this thing because they're quite frankly rubbish and stupid. Also, my insatiable need to release classified information about my projects on the world wide web has been more or less stamped out. Or rather I have people in person to do that with.

Since I can put a lot more artworks into this than I can on tumblr in a single post, maybe I can put like images together here. Use it like a minor gallery or something. That might work.

Tadaaa

I don't know how to actually define this blog. I'm not sure what purpose it serves. I have a website at Jonathan Nelson Designs.com, but it can't decide whether the domain is renewed or not so that one is down. Maybe I should gut this one and turn it into my official site? My tumblr will have lots of reblogging and stuff but this could just have artworks. Also I have to delete most of the old posts, because they give away too much of the stories of these characters.

Essentially I have this burning desire to explain stuff about my characters, for the simple fact that I think their stories are just so damn interesting! I can't get enough! I'm just going to have to though. For now, visit Jonozoom's Microcosm for my actual artistic exploit updates.

Ugh I’m such a horrible father! D:

Yeah it’s been an entire summer since I’ve been here last hasn’t it?

Well I’ll have you know that I’ve been spending it in an extremely busy and work-addled state – alternatively undercut with spectacular bouts of procrastination.

I'm now in second year at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts and the work load is fairly stressful. In light of this I’m going to revamp my timetable as of tonight – hopefully – to accommodate a better online presence.

Prepare for incoming blogroll!

Stay tuned for new content!

I have a tumblr

Yeah I have a tumblr account now, just in case anyone is interested in following me there.

The Jonatoans Invade!

Enjoy!

“Hey, big-headed child…”

“…Are you the terran humanoid known as Jonathan Nelson?”

By the way, she’s holding a device called a Stellar Scanner, using it to display the details of who she’s looking for.

A sketch I literally did a few minutes ago. This nice lady (above) is a scout/retriever representative of the war-planet Jonato Omega Prime. The Jonatoans are one of the various humanoid races that I drew on this page (right).

I don’t know what her name is yet – if I’m even going to give her one – and I also haven’t gotten down the phonics of the Jonatoan language so I don’t know what her name would even sound like.

Usually when I’m thinking up alien languages, I have to compare them to the sounds of earth languages. For example the characters from the beginning of this post are from the Planet M. Their language along with most of the languages of the other planets in their solar system seems to be a fusion of Japanese and whatever language Egyptians spoke.

If not that then I compare them to the various calls of animals, made into more significant codes and patterns.

I think the Jonatoans have very deep speaking voices, and use roars, breaths and growls. This results in them sounding like they’ve been swallowing razors when they speak English or any other Earth languages.

I like the Jonatoan design for their clothes because despite those on the big sketch page above wearing what’s considered as “casual wear”, their outfits are very battle-ready. One recurring theme is the front of their suits remaining open when dressing casually. They believe everything that really matters for the body is in the torso, therefore it is coveted and must remain uncovered when out of the battlefield.

I apologize for the lack of colour that you may be seeing for the next few days. As you can more than likely see, I do not get much if any colouring practice, on or off of the computer.

I intend to get more practice in, and also see if I can practice drawing realism digitally.

Ciao.

Cute girl

 

Random sketch of a girl that I drew about a month back. Many of those who have viewed my sketchbooks frequently complain about the figures of the women I draw, suggesting that they all have large breasts, and all have hourglass figures.

Personally I don’t agree with this assessment completely. Not all of the women I draw are ridiculously well endowed… but truthfully, most of them are. This problem only refers to random sketches, and not so much characters which I am happy about.

So with that I decided to practice more drawing women with more conventional shapes and curves, or even none at all. I have to admit I really like this pic, so much so that I attempted to colour it. She has such a pretty face, and she still has fairly thick legs which I will always enjoy on a female figure.

More to come.

Ciao. 

Hey all.

Summer has almost arrived. I  am currently in the process of completing my A Level examinations, and then I have a series of entrance exams to complete as well.

It is my hope that I can return to posting when it is all said and done.

I do not have anything to present at the moment, and I apologize for those who were genuinely looking forward to seeing a new post if such people exist. Right now I am slightly traumatized by how little energy I have at the moment.

Oh well… Back to studying…

Also, this post is made thanks to my mother’s laptop… and viewers like you! Thank you!

Ciao
