more sketchbook stuff.

Yow. A combination of too much work and not enough sleep has made it hard to draw, or find inspiration. I'm gonna hopefully post some Scott Pilgrim drawings soon, once I finish watching the DVD.

Anyone have suggestions for how to get inspired? :)

Here are some semi-recent drawings from my last sketchbook. I like them, and I hope you do too.

Ok! Thanks for coming back! Don't work too hard! And don't forget to visit my Tumblr every once in a while...the link is on the side there. UuU

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!

More sketchbook stuff and dive bar drawings

Yikes, I really should be posting something different by now, but alls I got are sketchbook drawings right now. No time for experiments or fancy cleaned up stuff. Here's a little post-it drawing of me being weird.



I have all this weird nervous energy lately. It wants to bust out and make me behave badly.


Typical dive bar doodles:



I wish I hadn't colored in the left girl's clothing, and just left it white.



More of the same, though I like these colors, and the three profiles at the bottom...



Music is always my main motivator for drawing, but it's been my main motivator for everything lately, including getting out of bed and moving about and all that. I've done some weird music inspired drawings lately. Maybe my next post will be about that.



Thanks for coming back!

LoTR nerdy fun time game

**** EDIT
Chloe was the first person to get all the characters right, so if you want to know who everyone is, check her comment! ^u^

Play my Lord of the Rings identification game, and win...the knowledge that you are a big nerd just like me! These are all drawn pretty fast, trying to get the faces down before the scene changes on the TV, so some are more recognizable than others I think.





And don't feel bad if you aren't familiar with the movies, you don't have to guess if you don't want to! ^u^





I left out a lot of main characters, just to confuse you. Actually that's a lie, I just didn't feel like drawing certain characters, and failed too hard at other ones. -__-;





I like this next one, but I bet no one gets it!







OK that's it!! But here's some of the full pages, since these ones above are all chopped up.




I realize I've been posting a lot of the same types of drawings lately, so I'm gonna try to change things up soon, and maybe try to do some more polished drawings, or who knows. I'm not gonna think about it right now! Thanks fer participatin'!

Freaks, geeks, and wizards

Sorry if you guys are getting sick of my sketchbook stuff! I'm hoping to post a better variety of stuff soon. U__U

For now, here's some fan art from one of my favorite shows ever, "Freaks and Geeks," and some super scribbly doodles done while watching the latest Harry Potter movie. I'll start with the F&G drawings to avoid turning off the less-nerdy readers here! :)


Kim Kelley is one of my favorite characters in this show! She's badass.



Some more Kims, a few weird Sams, and some unknown slack jawed female. I wanted to draw more of the guy characters from the show, but EVERY character has giant lips, and lips are the hardest things for me to draw on guys. It's just a weird thing, I gotta figure out how to do it.



Millie! I love Millie. That's all for Freaks and Geeks, at least for now.

Nerd-alert!! Nerd-alert!!

Luna, some Ginnys, a few Rons, and Hermione. Its harder to get good likenesses when you're watching a movie and the scenes go by fast, but I think you get weirder/funnier results.


Super simple Ginny


A bunch of Rons, a super lame Dumbledore, some Slughorns (I love that guy), the super hot black girl from the beginning of HP 6, a lovestruck Lavender, a teenage Tom Riddle, a stressed out Malfoy, and some weird Potters.


more Ron, Ginny, Malfoy, and Hermione. I wanted to draw Snape, but he's just to wonderful/hard to do justice.

That's all for now! Thanks for bearing with me! (^u^)/

Conan the Barbarian

I love Conan the barbarian!!



I love him so much, I even went into my no-comfort zone and tried drawing some manly men.



Poor Baby Conan! There is a lady who doesn't belong on the page with him. That's not why he's sad though.



Some of these pages have really crappy drawings on them, but I think they're kind of funny. I colored the ones I liked in an attempt to trick people into not noticing the really doofy ones.

A palette cleanser: Conan's super hot mom...



Another sketchbook page...this one has cultist girls with sexy diapers, and a lone Subotai as well.



Most of these were drawn while watching the movie, but a few are from images I found online. Drawing from the TV is really fun! I don't do it that much. I want to do it a lot more.

Some more really dumb Conan drawings, and some of Valeria too. She's hard to draw.



More Valerias and scary witch ladies.



Here's the last page of Conan movie doodles. Subotai is there too, as well as Thulsa Doom, and Thorgrim, who is one of my favorite guys in the movie (he's the blonde one with the cool bangs). I love that guy. I gotta watch this movie again and concentrate on all his scenes.



Luna is in there too! Appropriate.

Also, I've been thinking about pulling out some of my old comic roughs I did a while ago and finishing them up when I have time. I have a couple comic projects I want to get started for real, but the one that revolves around my highschool buddies is gonna come so natural to me to draw I think, that it'll be a good way to sharpen my comic-making claws.

The look of the characters in it changes all the time...here's how they look at present.



Here's one more of Christine:


What do you guys think? It seems a bit self-centered to do a semi-autobiographical comic to me, but since it is mostly making fun of how horrible we were back then, I'm not worrying too much.

If you like these designs, click on my "pals" label, or search "highschool" on my blog. I've got tons of drawings of these girls, as well as a couple comics.

Thanks for reading, as always! (^u^)/
