Burnt out Photoshop work crap.

Oy. I am pretty burnt out lately. I've barely been drawing at all, although sometimes at work I'll mess around in Photoshop when I need a break.



Cuter sketchbook version:





I think I'm channeling Miss Withers here.




These are Photoshop versions of a couple drawings from my last post. I definitely prefer the marker versions!


One more.





I also feel like I've been slacking lately on my Skadi comic. I'm going to try really hard to improve the quality of my drawings there. Here are some close ups from this week's comic, in case anyone wanted to see them better.





Hope you guys have a fun Valentine's Day! I'll be working! T__T

Draw? Huh...? Wha...?

Yow...It's been a long time since I last posted. I've got some good reasons though...one is that I'm doing storyboards again, which is a pretty time consuming job. I'm also distracted by some new good things in my life. Also my scanner is broken, so I can only show drawings I did a while ago...



Just more dive bar drawings for now. I don't like posting the same type of stuff over and over, but I do kinda like these drawings.



This page has some Christines at the bottom (click the link...go on, do it!).



A long lady with a weird outfit.


Buurrrr...that's all for now, besides some new Skadi stuff...



I'm working on another longer storyline, with a new character. This is her! Click the picture to go to the first part of the story.

There's also Skadi wallpapers for your computer desktop, if you'd like 'em! Click, click, click!


Thanks for reading...I'll be back with a fixed scanner and some more original stuff soon, I hope! Don't give up on me!

I wish I was in a pretty and dark forest

I've been drawing a lot of forest girl-types lately.


I want to do a Skadi story that has a forest girl character...here are some sketchbook pages with doodles, trying to figure out a design.


I like the idea of her having nothing on except a poncho and legwarmers made out of moss, or something...



I think I kind of have a good idea for a story. I'll have to rework her design so she works in Skadi-land though, eventually.



I like this face and giant leaf hat!




One more...




Hey thanks for all the nice comments about my Conan drawings! I'm hoping to try my hand at drawing more men characters soon. And I know I keep saying it, but the "behind the scenes" Skadi post is coming. ^u^

Skadi side character close-ups

*** ONE LAST EDIT***
I added 2 more panels at the bottom by request, one of Skadi's sisters, and another demon girls cluster. :)

A few people expressed an interest in the side characters in today's Skadi comic, so I thought I'd post some higher quality images so you can see them better. The backgrounds aren't included because Luke does them on his computer- we work separately on our different parts.



***EDIT***
Out of curiosity, which of the 3 girls is the cutest design? I'm betting my favorite is the one no one else likes. :)



These girls aren't based on anyone in particular, just made-up designs.




Sometimes when I'm drawing the characters for the Skadi comic, I put way too much detail into the drawings, even though they will be tiny on the screen. It's kind of bad, because it looks icky on the computer, but if Luke and I ever print these, it'll hopefully look real nice. I should probably simplify when I can, but I really like doing side characters, so it's hard not to put some love into the drawings.

Goddess girls from "Theology 2"

This succubus girl/girls got a pretty good response from Skadi readers, so here are some bigger images.

These are all from the "Skadi Goes to Hell" series, 1-6

There are a bunch of extra inbred guys for the "Skadi and the Hill People" series we did- they were really fun to draw!


extra retarded!

Two peasant girls based off of my friends Christine and Sibylle, from "Knobinski".


Lastly here are some close ups of the Amazon girls from "The Red Menace" story. I really liked drawing these girls a lot, so I want to come up with an excuse to bring them back into the comic!








Skadi's older sisters...



...and one more demon girl drawing.


That's all for now! If you liked these, check out the actual comic sometime, as these are just blown up tiny drawings.

OH also, I was going to do a post sometime with more storyboard drawings from the Mighty B, but I've heard people say that work related posts aren't as interesting. I'm happy with them though. What do you guys think?

Post-its from work, cute and Halloween-ish

Yes!! I am finally escaping LA! Not for good, but for a week. I'm going somewhere pretty where I will get to run around outside and be happy. I am really gonna miss my cats. I gotta get this post up quick though cause I have to get to bed. I'm getting up at 3:30 tomorrow morning! Arrrghhh...

Anyhow, here are some post-its from work. Post-its are perfect for taking a break from working. I find taking a break from work-drawing to draw for myself is more relaxing than taking a coffee break or anything else.







I really wanted to do some Halloween drawings, but no time...here are some less cutesy post-its, though.

Friend Christine on a very tiny post-it. Christine is taking care of my kitties while I'm away. Thank you Christine!!

Dead-ish lady. Too bad!

The Uggo twins

Three weird looking women.





We're doing another month of Halloween Skadi comics, only this time it's another ongoing story called "Skadi Goes to Hell." This story also stars a new succubus character...here is the original design for her. She changed some for the comic, though. So far 2 pages are up. Click here to see the first page!



I'll be gone for a while, but I'll come back with new drawings!

more pink things

Pink pink pink notecard people


I drew many small pink girls last weekend. Drawing like this, all tiny and without thinking ahead, is fun. Normally I draw really fast and loose and doing this is new and weird.

Now it's time for ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Starting tonight, a new Skadi 5-parter is up on Dumm Comics. It's different from the last one we did with the cannibals...it's a lot stupider! I like it, and I hope you will too.


Another thing! I think I'd like to come out every now and then and add new prints to my Etsy store. I might compile all those star trek post-its from a while ago and make one. However, ideas would be appreciated! If I've drawn something that you think might look nice as a print, let me know! :)

One more!! My best girlfriend and fellow artist Christine has new prints, giclees, and original art on her Etsy. Her paintings have a level of spookiness on top of elegance that I can't ever imitate. Check it out!


OH WAIT there's one more thing...the second season of Mighty B will be airing on Nickelodeon soon! Pretty cool. I've never watched something I storyboarded on TV before. Once my episodes air, I'll be allowed to put up some drawings I did from the show. So come back soon!
