Blargl blargl art
Thank you to everyone who bought stuff from the Etsy store! :D I sent out all of the pin sets yesterday except for one, whose payment hadn't gone through yet. I'll be replenishing the stock some time at the beginning of the week. Since I have the store set up, is there anything you would be interested in seeing from me? I mean, there isn't much I can do in bulk -- I don't have amazing screen-printing skills nor can I make cool things with yarn, and I don't have the time to put together things like small paintings at the moment. I have some leftover oversized postcard prints on hand, and the bookmarks, but that's really about it. I'd like to do small t-shirt runs in the future, but that's a bit off in the distance. Thoughts?

Since I seem to be plugging other things, I should mention that there's a livejournal RSS feed set up for that comic I'm doing these days. (thank you again, Mal. :D )

I don't have much impressive art to share, I'm sorry. All of my effort has been going into work-related stuff these days. Or that aforementioned online comic. I'll work harder in the future!




So, when I use the crow quill, I try to do a warmup doodle before I ink something Actually Important? I've started taking requests from Ananth -- he specifically requested Sid in a soccer jersey, because "The ladies love a man in a soccer jersey." In his case, it's pretty true.


More ink warmups, I threw that construction paper scan in the background. I realized I'd never drawn a sleeping maw before. Corrected! Hay Pythias, 'sup.


Another warmup doodle -- further implicating me of my unhealthy obsession with [info]beatonna. To my credit, I did this one right before SPX, and I was pretty excited over the prospect of meeting her.


Last of the ink warmups. An Aresian Soleon, but she's lookin' kinda scraggly. Usually they're meatier than that. Also: kitty.


I got a sable brush? I'm pretty miserable at using it. ._.


I think I was at a bar with my roommates or something. I drew some fat animals to keep myself from getting too nervous around all the strange people.


A silly dragon I drew on a coaster! I actually did this during Bryan Lee O'Malley's panel at SPX -- not out of boredom, but because they put pens and paper in front of every seat in the room and I seriously could not help myself.


The fellas at Anime USA asked me for a bio picture, so I doodled one up. It looks more like me than usual to make sure that people didn't think I was a boy.


It's over!

I do not think I can properly explain in words how much I want to own this shirt.

If you would make some more pins, even if they were just of arts you've done before, I would buy a whole bunch!

O-okay--! I'll try to put some stuff together! :D

ALSO: THAT ICON. @_@...

Ananth and I have gotten through all of Gurren Lagann except for the last episode. We finally just got ahold of it, but keep on forgetting to watch it.

Coolbeans!

You cannot imagine my joy when I saw they had released straight-sub dvds. Not because I hate dubs or anything, but because OMG 9 EPISODES FOR 20 DOLLARS BEST DEAL EVER.

Fat Pony is my hero. Also probably that bear.

x---x Sable brushes are so difficult to work with. I got 3 last year (requirement for an inking class I took) and I can only use the biggest one. The other two exploded on me and are now lost somewhere.

Fat Pony saves the day again!

As of late I can barely use nibs and brushes at all. The nib holder hurts my hand and I can't get lines I like out of my brushes. I'm trying to just use brush pens and regular pens but sooner or later my teacher will figure it out and whine at me.

I've been using nibs for years, so I'm okay with them only on the merit that I've been using them for so long. Brushes on the other hand, I'm amazed I know which end to use. @_@ I'm pretty good at using calligraphy pens, so I usually stick to those.

Oh my! For a minute there I thought that coaster was official art for Marriott and now I'm sad that it isn't. More coasters need decorative dragons!

Fat Napoleon's furtive sideways glance makes me giggle. :D

I laughed pretty hard with the cut talking about tastefully nude things and the first drawing was a BEAR. It's a cute bear, so all is good.

I'd buy prints or bookmarks, you should totally put them up on your Etsy. The great thing about Etsy is how easy it is to list everything. Digging the coaster, too - you should put coasters on the Etsy :B

For what it's worth, if you ever do a t-shirt run, I want that 'Musicians of Bremen' design like burning.

I am also totally down with prints, because I like having pretties to bedeck my walls with. And possibly more things with Maws. They fascinate me so :D

:DDD YES OKAY I WILL MAKE SURE THERE ARE MORE MAWS

I'd buy a print and a couple of bookmarks for sure :D

Maybe you should do some maw stuff? They're pretty unique and interesting, you might be able to fit them on a few different things (though... getting things to fit them on might be a problem...).

Your art is always a pleasure to view, hooray cats and maws (.. what would happen if a cat tried to catch a maw?)

Fat pony is also my hero. Fat Pony/Fat Napoleon = OTP That makes me wish book 5 of Temeraire comes in quicker through the library.

Also, somehow that Maw is more disturbing asleep than not. And I don't know why.

The fat animals are hilarious. Fat/sad bear is a favorite of mine.

I need to sketch/draw more than just the Eros Inc. comics (i'm still getting hits from when you mentioned it MONTHS ago). Every time I read your blog I am reminded of this. There aren't enough hours in the day.

Sleeping maw? <3.

Fat napoleon, dubya tee eff. Every time I read a cut on this journal it results in inappropriate laughter.
Also: Got the pins (and then some), frickin' AWESOME! :D I found out a lot more people watch Battlestar Galactica around here than I could've possibly hoped.

Hi, I was just wondering whatever happened to your Fallen comic. I used to follow it quite often waiting impatiently for just one page at a time. I thought it was a fantastic creative story. Anyway, I was just curious. I don't have a Livejournal or an open ID but my email is rpschomer@gmail.com though I don't expect a reply. Again, thought it was great.

Related to that shirt, a book we all wished we owned.
