Just a post to say, "Hey, I'm still alive".
Want to know what I've been up to? Check out my blog! I've just spent the month of August updating it with a bunch of art and projects from over the last year. Here's the run-down.

Wednesdays: Pieces from Life Drawing classes
  • Doubt - a narrative self-portrait.
  • Completed Kai - A recreation of Lucian Freud's work Kai.
  • Theme and Variations - A bunch of drawings of the same face in a variety of styles and media.
  • Breathing Space - A Charcoal drawing
  • Balsa Wood Man - A simple figure made out of balsa wood

Thursdays: Crafts and construction
  • The Disco Banjo - it's a Banjo made out of a disco ball!
  • Ticket to Ride UK - a fan map for Ticket to Ride.
  • Invader Stamps - Custom stamps made out of erasers.
  • Tetris Tangrams - Lots of cardboard tetris pieces.
  • Giant NES Controller - A working NES controller at 10x the size of the original.

Fridays: Duck photos (I got stuck thinking of something to put up for Fridays...)
  • #1
  • #2
  • #3
  • Cat Photo
  • #4

Saturdays: Walkthroughs
  • Doubt - Concepts and Experiments - A bunch of ideas for Doubt
  • Flameface: Process and Progress - The prep work and WIP for Lord Flameface Was Here
  • Balance - Some progress pics and thoughts for alecat.deviantart.com/art/Bala…
  • Creation - A drawing from life that takes a sudden turn...

Sundays: Recipes. Since I keep losing track of my recipes, I put some of them together so I could refer back to them later.
  • Cannelloni
  • Butterfly Cupcakes
  • Garlic Chicken
  • Beef Stroganoff

Mondays: Digital Art. (Well, that was the plan. Just became "whatever art", much like Tuesdays drifted away from being watercolours)
  • Starface
  • Ayvee Sketches - Sketches of the AVCon mascot Ayvee
  • Copics - Trying out Copic markers
  • USB Key of Clow - A USB stick sleeve made out of Sculpey

Tuesdays: Watercolours (Ended up being more along the "sketches and scribbles" vein)
  • Lord Flameface Was Here - My entry into the 2013 KoL Calendar contest.
  • Table Trifles
  • Watercolour Scribbles
  • Sketchbook Pages

A return to dA

Mar 20, 2022
Sorry for the spam of uploads! I've been away for a long time but that hasn't stopped me from making things. So I'll be uploading lots of various art from the years past. I'm not exactly sure why I stopped using dA, but resuming posting here has been on my mind for ages. Every time the twittersphere asks "why don't we have a good portfolio/social media site for artists?" the itch of "I should revive my dA" returns. Finally I asked myself, "You keep saying you're gonna post to dA, when are you actually gonna do it?" and I'm resolving to post more here. I'll still use my Twitter as a space to post art, especially in-progress work, so if you don't mind all the other nonsense I post there do give me a follow: http://twitter.com/alecatmew

Tumblr

Mar 25, 2014
I am on tumblr now! Well I have been on tumblr for about a year, but now that I have worked out how to get my Wordpress blog to crosspost content it may actually be worth following. http://alecatmew.tumblr.comAlmost all content is from my blog which can be found here: http://ale.chenonetta.com/blog/ Some of the older stuff hasn't been pulled across so it's definitely worth visiting my blog if you want to see everything I get up to! For new stuff, content should automatically get posted to tumblr so you can follow me there if you like.

AVCon 2011!

Jun 2, 2011
Hey guys!So as usual, I'm involved with AVCon, and this year I'm going to be dragging myself away from video games a bit!I will be sharing a table in Artists' Alley with :iconnamakox: and I don't know what came over me, but I offered to run a panel on basic watercolour techniques on Saturday morning.I think I only had the guts to put in a proposal because I thought an actual anime-drawing panel would get picked over my proposed panel. Well, whoops, look at that, I got picked by virtue of a looming print deadline.So if you have any questions for such a panel, or any art you think would be handy to include in my slides, please let me know. I...

Updates and where to find me.

Apr 19, 2010
Hey guys, I know I'm hardly around here but if anyone at all cares about what I'm doing, I update a teensy more frequently on my new blog: http://ale.chenonetta.comBrief rundown of what I'm doing: Working at Internode, an SA based internet service provider. Programming. Started evening drawing classes at the Adelaide Central School of Art. Graduated. Finally got the damned piece of paper to say that I'm a computer systems engineer today. Worth it? Meh.Stuff. See you around.
