Hmm...

I seem to be drawing less and less these days. I work a retail job now, in an adult store (hmm... comic idea??) which keeps me pretty busy. When I do get time to draw, it tends to land over at my DevaintArt account - http://naomiknight17.deviantart.com/

Do feel free to check that out :)

Of course, if I have any artistic rants, or stuff I just don't want to put on DA (they're pretty strict about the raunchier material) it will land here. It's so funny to look back on work from even a year ago - I've learned now how not to destroy my lienart while computer colouring, ha ha.

More Fail

So! The problem with temp work? It's temporary. In anger, I lampoon a popular actor!


Who the hell is that? Well, I don't like him. If anyone out there can actually tell who it's supposed to be, I will weep with joy. BIG HINT: He's a ball sucker.


Yeah, I need to practice likenesses more.

Fail

I have managed to fail at encouraging myself to draw more often by maintaining this blog. Perhaps I am lazy.

Perhaps I have a temp placement with full-time hours plus overtime doing warehouse work and my hands are just in too much damn pain to hold a pencil at the end of the week.

In fact, typing is quite painful. One day, I hope, my hands will grow used to the work and strong enough to draw again. In the meantime, I'm gonna call it a hiatus.

... And roll around in the bounty of my weekly paycheque :)

Lame, but it's a start

And now under the "J"...

This is some exceeding rushed and uninspired sketchy junk of a character who's been bouncing around in my head for some time. Eventually, I'll nail down a style and colours for her. Eventually. Hell, she doesn't even have a name yet... but I know who she is. Anyway, I semi-censored her crappy chest just in case certain minors from a certain forum I frequent are watching...

Like I said, I'm still trying to nail down a colour set for her, so I did a quickie little colour job on her face. I think I like her as a brunette - I'm not sure what I'm doing as far as highlights and such, and I really need to give her a wardrobe.


I mean, having her naked is fun and all, but I think it's more exciting when she's clothed most of the time, you know, to have something to bounce the nekkidness off of.

Heh. Bounce. Nekkid. Heh heh.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, Lindsay liked my Daisy is Dead fanart :) I'm all happy. But I'm also all sad... because her site has imploded. Josh Lesnick (of Girly fame) drew a guest comic for her and linked her site, and the ensuing tsunami of fans kerploded her bandwidth. If you wish to experience her unique brand of awesome, however, just check out her DeviantArt pages. Brilliant!

F-f-f-fanart!

I ran into this awesome webcomic called Daisy is Dead and loved the drawing style so much I had just had to mess with it. This is the first sketch I did - a total copy of Daisy's character profile art.
Don't ask about Derf. Really, don't. Just go read through the archives and you'll understand. So, anyway, once I figured I had a basic handle on Daisy's proportions (very basic, mind you) I slapped the happy pic below together. Again, you'll understand the whole thing better if you've read Daisy is Dead but basically... zombie grows daisies. Hippie likes daisies. Hippie picks daisies. Yaaaaaay.


I'm pretty darn happy with that. I'll be sending it to Lindsay Smith as fanart - I hope she likes it too. It's been about 2 years since I've sent fanart to anyone... I have fear. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Where have I been?

Working on the following! The ridiculously large amount of crap to follow should more than make up for waiting over a week to post again... surely.Cute little gaming couples vignettes for Valentine's Day! I was asked to do a banner for the One Duck's Opinion blog, so I've spent much of the last week planning and sketching for it. Above we have Luigi failing pathetically to set up a picnic basket for himself and his sweetie, Daisy. I love Luigi, he's such a loser.


Then we've got Peach, who has baked a cake for Mario for the hundred thousandth time. He still pretends to be surprised, and eats it anyway. You'd think she'd buy him a card or something. Jeez.



I did not want to draw this couple. I drew this couple against my will. None but Sally should ever be that close to Sonic, dangit, I don't care if she never appeared in the games. Arrgh. Anyway, I got my tidbit of vengeance by giving Sonic the one thing that could distract him from any woman - a chili dog. I think this is my favorite picture out of the group - it was the first I drew, and I feel it got the most attention and detail. Frankly, by the time I got to these next two, I was burnt the hell out.
Just don't look directly at Zelda's face, or too closely at Link's tights, and this is an okay picture. Everyone focus on how cute it is that he made her a necklace from those otherwise useless stones!
Finally I squeezed it all onto a lame background I pulled out of my ass. Man, I shoulda put some trees in there or something, but I wanted it to be simple enough that the characters would be the main focus. Note to self: Work on some freaking backgrounds. Guh.

In any case, there is more junk waiting to spill out of my sketchbook, but for now I think I'm gonna sleep before my eyes melt completely out of my head.

More crap

Hey, the artistic juices just ain't been flowing. Unemployment's getting me down. Anyway, here's what happens when I'm bored and pick up pencils and markers.



And, this being another case of, "Hate the page, love this one chunk of it", I recoloured the chick in the bottom right corner and fixed her nose a bit. I'm experimenting a lot with my styles right now, and something about her felt good to draw.



And last but not quite least, a redraw of an old, old, ollllld character, Gabri:


I can't believe this junk is the best I have to offer this week. I think I'll go stab myself in the forehead now. Toodle-loo!
