Painting from March

I found this today in my bookshelf and had completely forgotten it. I like it, but after just reading Jolies Tenebres (thanks Brandy for finding it for me!), my attempt at cute pixie types feels a bit lacking. Ah well! I'm pretty happy I actually completed it.



I'm not sure what to do with this. I could sell it on Etsy, but I don't think many people are buying art nowadays because of the crappy economy. Maybe I'll get it framed and put it up for sale anyhow.

Here are some closeups of the little boxes:

(the actual paintings are a lot smaller than the images here, so forgive the sloppy parts!)

Oh in case people ask, this is me painting on top of a piece of scrapbook paper that I found.

Well, my last board for the Mighty B is due Wednesday, so I gotta get back to work now. Happy things are gonna happen soon though, so actual new art will be up in a bit.

Meager offerings

YEE-HAW! True Blood is on tonight! Anyone else here watch it? Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley), post-it style:




Another Sookie doodle:

I like how Bill calls her "Sucky" instead of "Sookie". I like Bill.


Super weirdo realistic drawing of 60's model Nico (plus skinny extra on the side):

I'm not that familiar with her face, so I'm not sure how much this looks like her. Hillbillies, drawn later that day:



Not much time for drawing nowadays. :/

Miss Pas Touche

I can't write too much tonight cause I gotta get back to work, but I wanted to post some of the "Miss Pas Touche" fan art I did a couple weeks ago when I bought the comics. I am totally crazy about these books. The story is a murder mystery that takes place in a 1930's brothel. I was able to understand the story pretty well even though it was in French, but there is also a translated version you can find on Amazon. Here is the second book (I think two are available now, and I've heard of a third one coming out):


I am so envious of artists who can make books like this. It'd be my dream job to do this kind of thing. I hope I get the time someday to learn about storytelling and comic making.

OK anyhow, here's some fan doodles!




The main character, Blanche, is really really fun to draw. She's very cute but a bit neurotic and shrill. Her little friend Annette is fun to draw too, but I can't get her body type quite right.



I got artsy fartsy and drew these on some left over tissue paper.




More post-its!! My new favorite canvas.



That's all for now. Nothing too sparkly or shiny. I've been working a lot, and I've run out of old doodles to post, so I'm not sure when the next time I'll get to draw is. :( Hopefully I'll be able to post more about the cool comics I'm into soon, and share some more fan art and doodles.

Thanks for coming back guys!

Moongirls

Bleeeeeeehhhhhhh

I'm sick, and very very tired.
>__<

I will post some Moongirls, from the sci-fi show UFO before I get back to work...I like these notepad ones:

(edit: I just noticed the freakish long arm I gave this girl...oops...)

Before I drew the notepad ones I did these way-too-serious drawings.



The main girl has a funny face- it's super cute from some angles and a bit goofy from others. She's still beautiful, of course.


I still haven't seen this show...just stills on the internet. Next time I'm on work hiatus I'm gonna watch them all!

I loooooove this girl's face:





Man, what a cool looking show! There's another girl who wears this getup, but I didn't like the drawings I did of her.

IMPORTANT NEWS!

My friend Sandra is gonna have a little boy soon! Like, really soon...10 days or so! Sandra is funny and nice and pretty and she draws cute stuff and I like her very much. I made her this card for her baby shower.



I made this at work the other day, it's Baby Ricky's double stink attack. It's not that accurate though- I actually don't mind his kitten breath, and his farts usually smell kind of like hay and aren't that bad. Pretty much everything he does is cute to me though.



Go Baby Cat go!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Skadi and the Hill People

If you read Dumm Comics, you've already seen these, but I wanted to post them here so they could all be together in one place! This comic is my first attempt to do a full "story," with a beginning, middle and end. Luke still helped a lot of course...he helped me with making the layouts pretty, designed the backgrounds, and came up with the color scheme. I came up with the idea, the designs, and drew about 85% of the layouts. If you haven't already read this, I hope you like it!








This thing took a lot of after-work hours to make! Some of the man/cannibal designs are a bit lame, but I'm happy anyhow, because it's out of my comfort zone to try and draw that kind of thing. Drawing those tards ended up being the funnest part though, actually.

we are smart

Some extra info- a lot of the side characters in this, like Ethoch and the Cannibal Queen (is she the kings wife, daughter, or both?), are crossover characters from another personal project I haven't shown around much yet.




Moongirls and comic fanart is still coming soon!

MORE Galactically Hot Women of Star Trek!

10 more Star Trek gals, again on post-its, drawn while eating or at 2 am, right before bed. These aren't as cool as the first ones, but who cares! Everyone could use some extra Star Trek in their lives in these troubled times (I'm tired).

First, have some green:

OOPS cross-eye alert

This lady was prettier than my drawing

This Vulcan girl is so pretty. I messed her up bigtime. She's not good enough for Spock anyhow!

This girl kind of looks like Chekov.

I like this one.

Ok that's it! Time for sleep!! Coming soon, "Miss Pas Touche" fan art, or Moongirl drawings, I'm not sure. If you liked these, check out the previous post, there are better Trek gals below.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Galactically Hot Women of Star Trek

Everyone is talking about Star Trek now that the new movie is out! It made me want to watch the older episodes again. Then watching them made me want to draw the cute space girls. SO I dug up this link someone sent me a while ago and did some post-it drawings.

"The Galactically Hot Women of Star Trek" is a photo group on Flickr, and it's really cool! Go look at all the cool hairstyles and costumes!

Super hot Uhura is first in line:


Most of these aren't really recognizable caricatures, just doodles that are inspired by the photos. OH HEY I would recommend drawing on post-its to anyone in a drawing slump- it takes away the pretension and makes you less intimidated to draw well.

Some of Mudd's women :)

This drawing is terrible...

...but I like how this one came out!

This girl didn't really have those weird eyes...

The extras from this episode are really funny...the girls are cute, and the men wear super ridiculous wigs that are pretty great.

Some of these are extra wonky since I drew straight ahead, but it doesn't bother me...drawing for fun is just as important as studying and practicing and all that.

I would like to be a Star Trek girl in space. T__T

I hope to do more Star Trek drawings soon! I really want to draw Spock, as he is the perfect man and all. I also want to do some full body drawings of some of the girls in their cool costumes and stuff. Also I'm kind of regretting coloring some of these post-its, some of them looked cooler in black and yellow.

OH also, this weekend Luke and I went to Stuart Ng's bookstore/showroom, and spent our weekly "fun" budget on new French comic books. The two on the left are my finds, and the two on the right are Luke's.

All of them are really cool, but the two I got are gonna require some fanart. I'll post about them soon.

Also coming soon: Moongirl fanart, for those of you who know the show UFO! Actually I've never seen the show, but the costumes are so cool I had to draw some of them over the weekend.

K gotta get back to work now, thanks for reading!
