Sketchbook post

Boredom is sometimes the mother of interesting things (or naked ladies)

Les miserables

Sooo... I guess I fell a little bit in love with Les Miserables after reading the book? Have some Les Mis related sketchy things.

Crowface

Because I had mushrooms growing on my leg, according to my Russian dive master...

Death and all his friends

Or his scythe, more like it. Another mostly Dark Souls themed sketch, with some focus on draped fabrics (credit for the Death-draped-fabric-idea goes completely to someone else ;) ).

And now I can't stop thinking about Binky. If I ever figure out how to draw horses properly, you'll get a mounted Death :)

Quick sketch

Only what the title says, really. Quick sketch of Will, who has been sorely neglected lately.

Bad influence

So a friend of mine introduced me to Dark Souls, and it turned to be ridiculously inspirational. I won't ever play it, as I don't own a ps3 and more importantly, I suck at video games, but I'll surely look up some more art.

Cows, cows everywhere!

First and foremost: I refuse to call cows cattle, end of discussion.

These cows are color-tryouts for a huge-ass (75 cm by 115 cm) painting for my cousin. She's a vet, hence the cows, and asked if I could paint something with livestock and lots of color for her new home. Since I rarely draw for other people, much less even as a decoration for their living rooms, I've been fretting over the color palette ever since... Anyway, I'm still working on it right now, and I might or might not post some crappy phone pictures of the progress later.

In case you're wondering, no, I haven't been drawing the same cow four times. I've drawn it once, taken a picture (because of non-working scanner) and printed it four times. And learned two things: printer ink bleeds and people like tetraptychs*.

*Tetraptych apparently isn't an English word. English artists seemingly never went above three pictures in one... picture... painting... whatever. The English are silly. If you happen to know the correct word, please tell me!
*edit: it is an English word, or at least recognized as such by Wikipedia. It just doesn't feature in my dictionary. 

Midsummer Stormclouds

Troy and Joyce from Midsummer Murders, a show I've definitely seen enough of for a while. I can practically whistle the tune and I can't even whistle!
Therefore, some of Loki for a bit of diversity :)

 Paper texture is blah blah...
Who can get me a nice scanner? 0:)

More fanart

Because playing Kingdom Hearts means seeing Cloud, and seeing Cloud means thinking: "Zack!". Because Zack is much cooler, and a lot less depressive.
Off to rewatch Advent Children now, since I haven't seen that one in quite a while.

What shall I say about that texture? Yup, my scanner still sucks.

Manus

Waiting until the birds fly into it's mouth. Ain't gonna happen boy.

Again, paper texture is paper texture.

The Flurry of Dancing Flames

Would you agree with me if I say I find that an incredibly stupid, un-menacing name? It might just be me, but flurry makes me think of bunnies ('furry') and icecream ('mcflurry').

More to the point: I finished playing Kingdom Hearts II, again. Can't help but to love Axel, no?

Paper texture all mine. Why? Because the stupid thing wouldn't let itself be removed from the image. Hurrah for over-textured paper 8)

Wingless

A lady who lost her wings? Or a lady who's growing wings? I leave it to you.
On the right is a little pose sketch to show you how awfully small I like to sketch poses. In this case, hardly bigger than my nail.

I was a fangirl once

Or, not really actually. But has anyone ever noticed how ridiculously easy it is to draw Naruto characters? No? Well, it is. So they make awesome bored-at-school sketch material.
Even more fun: penguin-fying them (on the side, the spell-corrector suggestions for this word are hilarious: penguin-dying, penguin-flying (whut?), and my personal favorite: penguin-frying. Somebody had a sick mind when they made these up). And that's what you see in the left upper corner. Penguin-Sasori and Penguin-Deidara.

Fade out

Look, someone who's looking like he's supposed to look!
And no, he doesn't even exist. Why is it that imaginary people are so much harder to get right than those who do walk, breathe and multiply?
This ballpoint-pen sketch is probably the only right sketch I have of my character Will. So memorize it, you won't be seeing it soon again. ;)

Two Sketches I Should Really Do Something With

Because they're awesome. Well, the idea behind them is.
The left could be a fantasy or steam-punk character, maybe something post-apocalyptic? Oh, the endless possibilities behind the missing arm, the small knife, the absence of clothes. That, and I just really like drawing stuff that's out of the ordinary.
Right is a little more ordinary, more comic-y. The big arrow is supposed to be part of the store behind him/her and he/she is coincidentally standing under it, suddenly becoming the center of attention. Imagine some dreary blue and wet colors around a much too bright sign and you're almost there.
