Last Few Sketches

Just the last few images I scanned a month ago. I have some new things, and I'll get to taking photos of things from my art class and post those here and on dA.



-I was messing around with a different inking style in this one. I was trying a faster stroke, like Steven Sanchez uses, he has some video tuts posted. I didn't really care for my result with them...but I took some pens I had, i think the prisma color fine liners, and tossed some colors on people. Alphabet rocking the polka-dot bandanna. Alexis looking pissed as shit at the world. Young Umenosuke, Daisuke's son, not that he appears in the conventional Travelers story as anything other than an infant, if he shows up. Super Villain, Exile, from Rogue Gallery...missing his lower body...oh well =D And a little headshot of Methvin. I didn't have the right pens for his hair here...but the darker brown is acceptable.


- I decided I wanted to draw Alphabet as a kid, so here she is. I liked the idea of her playing with a helicopter and making the appropriate sounds. Too adorable. There she is a bit older commentating on her insanity. Ahh, the big fire. I don't know what the three of them set on fire, but their expressions are perfect for their personalities. Davey is defensive, Alphabet is sheepish and Smyth is horrified and trying to explain what happened. Finally, there's a young Alphabet trying to sneak a puppy into her home, and her father sneaking up on her. He's where she gets her personality from, her playfulness and what not. She's a total Daddy's girl, odd, because I was the furthest thing from that. I really like his expression because he knows he's about to scare the shit out of his little girl.



-So, over the summer AtomicStoney posted a pic of her Mew character. I liked the design and scribbled this out. I didn't lik how the paw came out so I never finished it. I would have colored it with markers if I had finished it. She's supposed to be at the beach. I might have added some silly and horrible beach type background, but it's not finished. She's offering her can of soda to the camera. I thought it was an interesting pose, not really something I've done before.




-These doodles are of different things. On the left are two sketches of Leif, a character from Travelers. He's the son of Alexis' parent's boss. He was actually her charge, even thought she's only three years his senior. They were friends. The chibis in the upper right are Marren and Daisuke's sister. Her name keeps changing, I couldn't remember the original first name, so I have had her unnamed for a while. In the middle making a sexy pose is Idrissa. He was a fan character for an RPG, but I have since stopped playing there, again. I still like his design, so he's a No World character until I find a new use for him. At the bottom is another drawing of Marren looking like a pissy bitch. And the bottom right Marren and his gf, Daisuke's Sister bieng all happy and cute together.

Cheers! I've gotten though all my summer doodle scans. I have some new things to scan, one of these days. Until then :)

Sketch Dump

Here, have some images that aren't related whatsoever. I don't like 'em enough for dA, but I still want to share. This is actually just about the last of my scans from the end of September. I have some little new things, but not much.

-1 Starting off classy, back in the summer I decided to draw Ficusxander and Limon Jazz in Cinema style. Limon has a wanted poster for the two of them and is proud of it. I'm still not sure why she's proud, but I accept it. Second is Ficusxander drunk because drawing his silly ass drunk amuses me. That is one angry looking canine right there. He needs to take a chill pill, fo sho'.


-2 I wanted to draw someone in knickers. The original idea for this woman was that it was Alphabet, but that didn't work out in the end, so it's just some random chick.













-3 I was tired and wanted some coffee, and to sleep, so what did I do? Drew me with a cup of coffee and dozing with Daisuke. hadn't drawn Dai in a while, so it was fun drawing him again. I like the inking off the one of me with coffee, except for the black behind me. It bothers me that the lines weren't straight.


-4 I had the idea of drawing all the Cinema characters dancing or otherwise performing a song i think, after driving back to Norfolk from home. I was trying to match the songs to my characters. On the bottom the chick with the 'fro was Alphabet, but she is now Ria. Man, she's put on weight, ha ha ha. But because of this song, her personality became what it is now, tough and no holds bar. I like the one of her with the long thin scarf on the bottom right of the three. This girl has had an interesting evolution in her design.


-5 This if when I decided that Ria needed to be big and busty. She's also short, like 5'2", and considering Az and Wren are about 5'7" she looks even shorter. I like the profile of her in the middle, and the one with her in a bikini. I like that she's comfortable in her body, but she's not slutty about it. Yes, she wears glasses, but also has contacts. They're cat-eyed because I thought they fit her personality more.


-6 Here I was working on her personality and interaction with Wren and Az. Since I did make her all 'black power' and all she will go up to the two of them and say 'hey crackas' or some other derogatory name for whites. They in turn, will use other epithets, but they're friends. They don't mean it. On the bottom is a sketch inspired by watching the history channel. History is something that Sephy likes, so she would be two feet away from the tv watching documentaries.



-7 So, the three of them meet in college. They're suitmates, so drawing them as 18 years old was amusing. I tried drawing them looking older, but it failed.Hmm, really not much to say about this one. Az looks really manly here?



-8 This is a drawing of Methvin I did once I had his design down a bit more. I didn't like how his second hand came out, so it didn't get inked. This is how I figured the texture for his hair. His colors are those of fall and Reese's Pieces, yellows, oranges and browns, tans and the like. I do like how this looks over all, for the most part. Cheers!


-9 A page of Methvin drawings I did to figure out what he was going to look like. This was drawn before the other one. Hmm, I like that he's a sci-fi dork. I really want to draw him in Star Trek get up again, but you know, color it. In the middle is Methvin with Scripps, I was trying to get their heights down correctly. He is shorter than Scripps, but it's alright. He's more shy and a lot less cocksure than Scripps is. He'll smoke cigarettes and weed, but won't shoot up heroin and he doesn't do meth. Considering some of his friends call him 'Meth' he won't do it. And he hates being called Crystal, because his friend will call him that too.

Cinematic Sketches

I don't update this one enough, but now I am. Here, have some sketches I liked enough to scan, but not enough to put up on dA. These are little things from Cinema that I liked, but still, not enough to dA.

- Not too long after I'd watched M*A*S*H did I draw this. I fell in love with the movie and loved it's perverted jokes and all the things that were wrong with it. I loved the things that people who liked the show didn't like. I liked the show, but looking at people's comments on Amazon, you'd think they'd expect something different from a rated-R movie from the 70s when compared to the network sitcom it turned into. Doodled here is Sephy as Trapper [Sam Gould] I tried drawing Hawkeye and Trapper, but they kinda look ehh. Hot Lips/Sephy as Hot Lips looks just as disgusted as she should


-Up on top is actually Icarus and Lena. I don't know why she has such sexy bedroom eyes, they're not that close, but ehh. I was still working on her hair here.

Below is Beta and Alpha in a sweet moment. I assume they were talking about something before the picture, I dunno. Maybe Beta is calming Alpha down.Their faces aren't all that successful here.


- So, this was drawn not too long after I'd watched all three Godfather flicks. This is when Alpha got her love of Pacino flicks. Seriously, Cinema is where I showcase my love of movies with different characters, but here she's dressed as Michael Corleone in the upper left. That's supposed to be Davey kissing her hand, but it is fail. Bottom left she's Scarface. Very fail, I hate that sketch. In the upper left of the image is Davey in normal Cinema style, and my practicing drawing the Cinema characters in a more closer to 'normal' human proportions. He looks too bishi here, but it's not all together a failed drawing, he's just not pretty boy material. Bottom right, Aster is complaining about letting Alpha watch Pacino movies, and I can't remember what Sephy is doing. I think she was supposed to be Kay (Godfather) but I really can't remember.


- I drew my characters for the Age Meme. The first three of Alphabet are fine, the last one is fail. I actually really like her 13year old sketch with the frog. I don't like her 25 year old sketch at all, it doesn't fit her personality enough. Davey looks bald at a 5 year old, he's actually rocking a bowl cut. I didn't share his hair because I didn't want the lead to smear in the sketchbook. 13 year old him is awful. 17 year old him is fine-ish, he looks like he got out of a shower or something stupd. 15 year old has apparently grown into a capable adult...don't believe it! Last is Smyth, yeah, his hair was brushed like that as a kid. Feel bad for him.


- I'm amused by 13 year old Smyth shaving. I'm not to sure on his need for shaving then... 17 year old Smyth is awesome. He looks angry and annoyed and is reading 'Quantum Physics for Geniuses'. Yes, I was amused by that book title. 25 year old Smyth is a haggard grad assistant in college. He gets no sleep apparently. And apparently thinks that ugly goatee will score him some brownie points with the ladies. It doesn't.
So, Sephy. She had normal enough hair as a 5 year old. At 13 she was emo, her shirt says 'I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself." She's confident and happy at 17 after spending time to Alpha and crew, and apparently has progressed into needing glasses. She doesn't have them at 16. She's awful at 25, ignore it!!!
