GUYS CHECK OUT MY HOT NEW ICON
(icon made from beatonna's comics-- you need to read them if you haven't)
S-sorry, I wanted to have this done for the weekend, but there was more artstuff than I'd anticipated. Watch out if you have a slow connection, there's a lot of images here.
I completely forgot, I went to the Smithsonian Natural History museum in back in March and doodled a bunch! I found the sketchbook and scanned in some of the less terrible pages.
Dinosauurrrssss
I think this was from around Otakon? Playing dress-up with Serona-- she seems to like pinks and browns. I've started putting that chop from the Forza picture on some of my finished pictures, I-- I THINK IT MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK REALLY COOL (it also gives me street cred for being a Real Life Japanese Person XD )
Ananth requested that I color this one, I had no idea what to do with it. I wound up not liking the colors, so I blew the whole thing out. XD (NOW YOU KNOW THE PROCESS)
n-no questions about her conveniently missing hand.
An Almas and Joannah, Rina, and Serona drawn in a Scott Pilgrim Book 1-ish style. Sh-shut up, I can stop nerding any time I want.
Joannah with wonky legs and Some Chick, I've Never Seen Her Before In My Life.
I recently got some new bristol and needed to do some ink tests before I worked on anything Actually Important. A maw and Joannah.
I... I just really like dressing up girls. ._. *Probably Not Gay Maybe*
Colored version of the previous inkdoodle. (note the infamous Brown Paper Bag Scan!) I mentioned it in the comments before, but I'll mention it here: when I'm coloring something that has lots of stray pencil lines, instead of cleaning it up manually I'll occasionally drop it on a texture instead. It's kinda lazy, but it also saves a lot of time.
FFFDFSGS, I LOVE THOSE TWO :X
Josephine! I haven't drawn her in a long time. I doodled this out to figure what she looks like underneath her clothing (since she's supposed to be a dandelion seed). It... still makes no sense to me, I pretty much have no idea what's going on with her body. >_> (this was dropped onto a scanned piece of fading yellow construction paper)
BLOOMERS ♥
Another character I Really Shouldn't Be Talking About! :D Cool! (likewise with the construction paper texture)
Story time!
So, this fellow named Thomas Herpich did this beautiful illustration for the New York Times Dining section yesterday. (You can see it here on the NYT site for the time being) I went NUTS. This guy does gorgeous stuff and has beautiful pallets and pencil lines.
I have a shaky relationship with real pencils-- I've been drawing solely with mechanical pencils since high school. So, ah, I gave it another shot? I'm really 5 out of 10 on how everything turned out, but it was cool to work with different hardnesses and strokes again. BUT REAL PENCIL SMUDGES SO EASILY BARGL
I drew a picture of Pythias reclining underneath a tree about 8 years ago. It was pretty terrible, mostly because I was like 14 or 15 years old and only really knew how to draw dragons. I dug out the old image file and gave it another shot yesterday. This one's better, at least. XD (n-no, I'm not going to share the original. I know it's on the internet somewhere, you can go digging if you're really curious)
brush pennnn
Fifteen minutes and a ballpoint pen! MAWS MAWS MAWS MAWS
OH HAY, thank you to the people who made Spore Maws and shared them with me! XD It makes me giddy to see my critters around. :D
Gave a shot at emulating old-style Tarot cards. I wish I hadn't drawn this in my sketchbook, the paper is really poor quality and it can't take ink very well. :/ Otherwise, I would've inked it as well.
Forza's name and aspects of his appearance are based heavily on the Strength card, which I've also always associated with Pythias. Now you know!
I think the texture here was also the scan of the construction paper.
OH OH OH, I forgot about this--
kiey posted a scan of the sketch I did for him at CTcon. He asked for Toph, but I couldn't really remember what she looked like or what her costume design was? I, ah, I think I did okay, all things considered.Sorry for not asking permission to yoink, Kiey >_>
All our transactions are completed, so I'm going to assume it's safe to post this. :D A commission I did for
ksilebo of a hexadragon. I'm going to say this preemptively: I don't usually take commissions unless under very special circumstances.I hope it's okay I'm posting this, tell me if you want it taken down, Ksilebo! :D
I also forgot about this one--! My pal Mike has been working on a new comic, Eros Inc.. I TOTALLY DIG IT, so I drew his protagonist, Mot. :D She's adorably deadpan.
... ... ...
I just turned on the 'human testing' option. It'll make things harder for anon commenters, but hopefully this'll get rid of the spam bots.
