SKETCHES AND MEME-ERY

Evening sketchery.
Did a $5 headshot commission for Old Man Vee on Gaia. His character Krivvek.


And then I doodled.
The boys in kilts. Context wise this is probably some kinda music festival or something.


Also I whipped up a super fast logo thing for my stream.


OH AND. Me and Kait are Supernatural dorks.

Oni has me participating in a DC 30 days meme. First off is to describe your favorite DC character.

This took some thought but there's a recent addition to their company stable that is definitely a favorite, and that is, without a doubt, Will Eisner's The Spirit. Darwyn Cooke revived the series under DC, with a brilliant Batman one-shot and two trades that were a beautiful homage and stayed fresh. The creative teams that came after him were not able (as far as I read before it became unbearably stale) to keep the vital element that keeps Denny Colt, Denny Colt: his charm and humanity.


I love The Spirit for a lot of reasons, a lot of which honestly don't have anything to do with Denny Colt. Will Eisner pioneered narrative styles and story-telling in the comic medium, and used his Spirit series as a chance to stretch these out. Spirit stories could be sci-fi, horror, humor, noir, mystery, romance, spy stories, ANYTHING. And standing in the center of this maelstrom of amazing artistry is an intelligent, hardworking, and distinctly human man who will do anything he can to uphold justice.
Admittedly, one of the most important things for me is that Denny Colt just OOZES charm. He is Cary Grant in printed format- polite, witty, suave as hell and all the women want him- and he pratfalls beautifully. Just like with Cary Grant's background in acrobatics that made him a master of physical comedy, Denny Colt's appeal shines brightest when we find him flustered, shamed, embarassed (or tied to a chair and covered in lipstick marks). It helps that there are plenty of good foils to set him up. They make The Spirit beautifully human, for all of his otherworldly settings.

Anyhow. That's the first bit of the meme. I'll have to do two tommorrow to try and catch up.

Morning sketchery.

More little Gaia things and a WIP of one of my commissions.






This is Ian and Susan, characters belonging to the illustrious Junk. She is so awesome ahmigash. :3c

Some quick evening sketchery on Gaia. Nice to do somethig loose and fast after a bunch of very detailed, very precise sort of drawing/paints.



OH AND WHAT IS THIS, SOME SLOPPY MAKE OUTS? HOHOHO.
It's fun having a modern AU of Vic and Bon, all the sappy stuff feels so much more natural.

Yeah ok.

Time to move the pile of hair a little further down the page now and put up some of the damned things I've actually been working on. U: Been making an effort to keep my other art galleries updated so this got neglected. SKETCHDUMP AHEAD.


Some concept sketchery for a thing Doom's spearheading. It gives me an excuse to listen to Hank Williams Sr, so ~WHEE~

POSSIBLY A STORY. POSSIBLY A NSFW STORY.

SELF PORTRAIT. I AM BAD AT DRAWING FUZZ, TURNS OUT.

I like slapping bird heads on people bodies. You may have noticed this.
An' that's all I got for now that doesn't look like butt, involve naked people doing stuff, or hasn't been seen in other places. I am lazy. And should get back to sketchery. Thank you for your time.

WHY SO BAAAAAAAAAALD

So last night I finally went through with the oft pondered notion of shaving my head.

First I had to rid myself of some excess hair.
Y'know. JUST A LITTLE.



Aaaaaah, feels so good to have it all off. *rubrubrubrub* Now to break out my straight razor only to find...

I am an atrocious barber.
But with perseverance, a lot more stropping of the straight razor, and one of those fancy double-bladed disposable modern razors...
..great effects can be achieved!
The Mr. Shine Clean seems to be gone in the morning, however. Ah well, can't have everything. I can't wait to have a (hopefully even) head of peach fuzz.
