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.

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!

Vacation time for me

Well, I'm leaving for a while! I want to start up all my old abandoned projects, as well as learn some new crap, like animating and stuff. I'll be back on here eventually I think, after I've learned some new things. I'll probably turn off the comments after a couple days, but I'll leave everything up. If I actually succeed in one of my new endeavors, I'll come back and post an update. Here are some random and unrelated last few drawings:

Ok, now I'll answer some questions you guys asked me in my last post.

"Katie, do you feel that you have to clean up your art for it to be commercially viable. Is it like screw it, ill do it like they want me to do it just so itll be seen by a wider audience? Great stuff by the way.."

I guess I feel like more people would respond to a cleaner drawing than a messy one, but that's not the only reason I want to work on cleanup...once you get good at it, it's really useful. I'd like to be able to paint and stuff. t's so hard to not lose elements of the original drawing, though.

"Who are some of your favorite illustrators?"

I have a lot of them! There are a lot of modern illustrators I like, but right now no names are coming up...I like a lot of Japanese illustrators whose names I don't know anyway. Oh! I like Kirsten Ulve...she's really cool. I love most the illustrators that Shane Glines has on his site, Cartoonretro.com.

Clinton
"How did you render this?"

With markers, and one of those gold pens. Same as usual! :)

"Dont you draw anything else besides girls? It's getting old"

Well, it's not getting old to me...in fact, it's really fun. If it's old for you, then there are plenty of other artist's sites to check out. I get this comment quite often, and I don't think it's very fair to demand what another person should and shouldn't post on their own art blog. I've already said that I know I need to practice drawing other subjects more, but it's my own choice to post or not post them here, because drawing girls is my primary interest. Another thing, I don't think the subject matter is so important so long as the drawings don't get too stale. Lots of people draw the same girl over and over and make tons of money, but I do my best to try and have a wide variety.

"amazing stuff! it would be cool if you also did some purely non-conventional paintings at the same time. i would love to see you do some more punk girls, maybe some goth girls and possibly some rave girls."

Thanks! It's funny though...I never think that the girls I draw are conventional! I guess I try and stay away from drawing "classifictions" of people...like, "this girl is droopy and moody, I'll make her goth" or "this girl is peppy and annoying, I'll make her a cheerleader." I'd like to get good enough one day that I can capture the essence of someone's personality without giving clues. I guess I don't really like the idea of girls who classify themselves, anyhow...for now I am mostly drawing what I wish real people were- happy and random and living in a world where it's ok to wear a one-piece sweater with one sock outside. I would like to be like that!

Rebecca
"Have you ever thought about doing comics?"

Yes! I'm gonna go do some right now! Or...maybe tomorrow...

Jesse
"How does it feel to work at SPUMCO?"

I'm not there now, but it was fun when there were projects to work on! It's a lot of hard work though!


Well, that's all for now! Feel free to email me and crap!

Highschool

Whew, this is gonna be a long post!! It's probably going to get me in trouble, too! Well, anyone that knows me knows that I'm very (maybe annoyingly) nostalgic. I actually really enjoyed highschool, and really miss it. I had it really easy...I somehow managed to pass without ever turning in homework and ditching half my classes to spend my afternoon at the lake. No responsibilities at all!! I want to go back!! Anyhow, this above drawing is supposed to be me and my friend Em when we went as Sailor Scouts for halloween.

More Em!

Here is realistic Emli. She's fun to draw because she has real-life cartoon eyes- the kind that are huge with lots of shines and long eyelashes! I like her because she is smart and funny and good at a lots of things.
A little more cartoony...this blonde one above is "Cancer Victim Emli." At least that's what my mom called her when we washed the bleach out. I thought she looked cute though!
These are drawn from memory, and the little dinky doodles are about a year old. I had wanted to do some comic type projects involving some of my old buddies, but I never finished it because I figured no one would think it was funny except me.

Kacy

Sorry Kacy!! I don't have that many photos of you...and in the ones I do have, your hair is in your face!
Little cartoon hippie. Kacy is a really good actress and the best singer I know.

Christine

The first one is always too realistic...Christine is a really good painter and illustrator!

More cartoons from memory!

Megan

Realistic Megan...the ears are for real though!
Megan is a more pleasant person than the rest of us.
Cartoony-from memory-drawings. Megan looks like a pretty woodland creature come to bestow some elf magic on you!
A nice past time is playing the keyboard with a friend and writing songs about food.

Christine and Megan draw pictures too. I'm pretty sure they failed highschool art class as miserably as I did. We must've been doing something right...Megan and I were asked to paint a mural for the school...we had to recreate one of those Unicorn tapestries with a million little details. We painted it alright, but we also made sure to defile it by putting little weiners on all the animals. Next time I go to visit my parents I'm going to try to find it and take a picture.

Here's where they live:

Kathryn

Kathryn plays the bassoon. I haven't heard her play it since school though. I've heard she's really good.

By the way, don't bother asking me for any of these girls' numbers, ha! I'm pretty sure they all have boyfriends or girlfriends, or they're out of touch with me anyhow. Sorry!

Here's some fun that will get me yelled at...try and match the photo to the drawings! Don't expect hair colors and styles to help you though!

Here's a little bit more fun...my own highschool portrait. I'm being nice to myself!

I'm in a weird mood again

HEY! I've heard a few people recently complain that their comments didn't show up on my blog after they submitted them...I'm sorry! It's not because I didn't put them up...maybe there's something funny with blogger, or maybe the word verification and comment moderation is too much. Maybe I'll take off the word verification? I read the comments before I publish them on the web for people to read, so if they don't show up right away, that's why. They should make it eventually though, unless blogger is mad at us and won't comply.
Anyhow, today I discovered that layering marker colors looks cooler than just coloring the shapes separately. I think my being kind of a spaz lately is showing up in my pictures, too. What do you think? Weird? I kinda like it!
I really love drawing legs. I don't really like this drawing, except for the legs. Anyone here seen the Basil Wolverton drawing of the ballerina of the future? The one that's just an ass and a pair of dancing legs? Maybe I'll just draw like that from now on. It's funny how it can be fun to draw muscles and fat even though I don't really technically know how they work. Legs are sure cool though. I think want to try life drawing again, even though I hate it.

This below is the drawing that I am most proud of, ever:
No, I'm serious!
