cats and dragons

It's 4 in the morning but I can't sleep, so I'm making a blog post.

Did you guys see "How to Train Your Dragon"? I really liked it. I'm partial to anything with Norse mythology, but the reason I liked this movie was because it was very sweet and straightforward. No obnoxious pop culture references...way less snarky dialogue than your average CG movie...also, it's fun to watch just for the pretty designs and colors. I'm too tired to write a whole review, so here is some fan art:




It's amazing I've drawn anything at all in the last few weeks. The only time I have time to draw is when I'm eating.



I should add that this movie had really funny/cute hair and boot designs. I feel a bit like a kid again lately. I went a long time without truly enjoying feature animation...but watching this movie, UP, and Fantastic Mr. Fox were all real fun for me. Actually I cried all the way through UP, but at least it got an emotional response.

I also liked HTTYD because the main dragon looks like BabyCat.




Lately I don't leave my house much because of work and other crap, so the cats have been a constant source of amusement. Here are some more Babycat and Luna drawings. They make a lot of weird faces. Luna's face seems to change constantly.




Here's Luna and Baby wearing cat-body-suits. I'd never actually wish an outfit this awful on an animal, but the idea is funny.



One more weird drawing that doesn't look like I drew it




Yarrr...I'm sleepy finally. Ok I'm gonna go to bed and proofread later

zzzzzzzz

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. :/

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

Store coming, plus crap

**** HEY I added an extra treat! Check it out at the bottom of this post!!



I'm working on a store! Thanks Marlo for alerting me to Etsy! I'll do a post when inks, marker art, and other crap is up.

I am so swamped with work, Skadi, and life things that I rarely have any time to draw. But I want to keep posting because its fun to share and it keeps me inspired to make more pictures. So here are some drawings previously rejected from posting, here because there is nothing else to put up! Cry!

Some drawings of Chiaki Kuriyama, the sexy girl everyone knows as "Gogo" from Kill Bill.

Just some magazine ad girl

Unfinished Sketch of Those Darlins

A forehead creature, and a drawing of Dawn Tinsley from "The Office" (UK) that inspired it

crazy yearbook hair

Foodles- I like these actually!

ALSO!!!!!!!! NICO ALERT!!!!!!!

Nico, who won a guest place on Dumm Comics for his 1930's Nightmare Theatre comic, also did a super cute Skadi comic. Its up on his blog, so go look!

Also, check out this video I took! I managed to catch Little Ricky (aka Babycat) behaving terribly when a guest comes by to visit. He's like a mini-panther! I'm so proud!



Ok that's it! Hopefully I'll catch a break and draw some fun stuff!

Even more foodles

I was surprised and happy that people seemed to like my last post with untidy doodles, so here are some more! Drawing is starting to become fun again.

These ones are influenced by the illustrations in Japanese fashion magazines: It must be a fun job doing that kind of thing. The magazines I was looking at have so many different artists and styles, they don't stick to one look.

(P.S. Sorry Sean, I stole your fabric pattern that you came up with for Through The Port Hole! Forgive me.)

I really like these hillbillly drawings a lot, even though a lot of people might see them as too scribbly.
Some day when I start seriously on doing my hillbilly cartoon, I'd like it to be more loose and retarded like these drawings. They should all be cute but inbred, right?? I think so!
Maybe I'm weird but I find the occasional wall-eyed person to be very beautiful!


Here is a drawing of a girl I am myspace friends with, her name is Brie:
This girl is very cute and takes a lot of funny photos, so she's fun to draw. Her friends are cute too! This next one is not flattering, both girls are much prettier than my doodle.
Brie is also a fantastic artist, her drawings are loaded with personality and specific ideas and funny stuff. When I was her age I was doing boring anime copies, nothing so original! Go look at her gallery, you won't be disapointed. She did some hilarious Flapjack drawings!


Ok more brainless doodles:
That's it! By the way I want say thanks to the people who are still coming to my blog, it's been up a while now and I'm still posting the same kinds of things, so it's nice to know there are people who will stick around.

Also, I'm going on a mini vacation to see a highschool pal get hitched, I might not be around to moderate my comments too often!

More foodles and crap

Tonight I'm posting crappy doodles that are done while eating (foodles), talking on the phone, watching TV, etc. In other words, drawings that are completely retarded and done while not thinking about drawing.

This was the paper covering protecting my burrito leftovers from when I was at Don Barfo's getting food with pals. Christine gets to be on there (upside down) because she is the only person who knows how "Don Barfo's" got it's name. Little Ricky loves beans! I spelled "burrito" wrong. >__<;


Here is me trying to draw like a normal person


Hillbilly ladies (with opossum)


Hilly billy babies



Mermaids with seabeast


My favorite drawing I've ever done is on this page! Guess which one it is! I will tell you...it's this one:




Here's some pink, complete with notes from Ikea.


I can make red too


Little Ricky!!!!! My darling cat-face!


An important date


Same ol', same ol'


I like these




I'll end with some rare social commentary and ranting. You know what I really hate?? When big corporations try to trick you into thinking they are your friends and neighbors by adopting stupid little nicknames. It doesn't work!!! Not on me! You can't fool me! Here are some names that sound trustworthy and legit (United Airlines, National Geographic, Washington Mutual), and their retarded "no we are nice guys just like you, we promise" names. Boooooooooooooo!

Here, have some HATE

The end!
