jannaqtaq, polar bear dead girl.

lifedraws

some one is excited for life drawing this fall.

(hint: its me)

Sometimes I draw hands...

...and sometimes I don't!

Space Sebastian.

This is the lineart to the index of my website! It's cool. I'm cool. Astronauts are cool. Secular repurposing of religious imagery is cool. You know.

Xolotl

The Getty Villa had this nice Aztec/Mayan exhibit a while back. still maybe? this is Xolotl, god of deformed people, twins, and some other things. Central American gods seem pretty busy, they all have a bunch of things to be gods of. sounds rough.

Spider-Guy.

My friend was talking about dynamic poses, and I joked about how they're difficult. Then I drew this as a further joke. It is not very dynamic.

frae:luilfir

another in progress character line up. this is mostly done i think...

The Fowl and Mike

The Fowl belongs to Dan Schkade, and can be read over here! It's a pretty awesome, pretty free comic.

frae:owl

A work in progress of a character line up i've been tooling with for a while. i had to chop these up into smaller bits instead of a long horizontal picture.

3rd Doctor.

Jon Pertwee had so many different costumes... He also ushered in color Doctor Who AND none of his episodes were erased while BBC was cleaning shop. The beginning of an era!

Look again.

I'm usually awful at making WIP shots in any sort of step by step process. Usually its just a "oh hey, someone should see this here, *WIP*" so heres a rare look at the start of a picture, where I'm still playing around with a couple things before committing to the long haul. My horse anatomy is a little rusty, plus throwing a rider on top of it is making me a little cautious. I ended up doing some research on "equestrian portraits" and it gave me a pretty good idea of what I wanted. (turns out, equestrian portraits are really static because the painter is doing it from life so the horse is just standing there, or its super crazy and probably made up and ref'd. just my guess. But I still like them horses!)

from left to right:
1: First go at what I think I want, liked the horse, don't like the rider.
2: Same horse, tweaked rider, like it better but still not what I'm lookin for in my head. The horse seems like it should be in something with a more interesting composition, but it just isn't working for what I am actually going to do. (saving this version for something later then!)
3: Tried something different with horse, super boring, total snooze, worst tangent ever. i kinda like the rider in this, its kinda what i need. The horse could have been saved if it had been in a larger picture with legs though, but it just wasn't working here.

So I ended up with this one, the horse has enough movement, have enough space for some kind of background, and the rider is will be perfect once I lay down some real drawing.

6th Doctor.

Colin Baker actually showed up in an earlier Peter Davison episode. It was really weird.

Coloring Pages

Jonathan is working on some comics, and i am lucky enough to get to color them. Here is a panel we both like, that doesn't really tell you much other than its really overcast here.

1st Doctor.

William Hartnell episodes are... interesting! Early Doctor Who doesn't hold up as well as say, The Prisoner, but they're still pretty interesting in a historical context.

It's been a loooong time.

well... not that long. just sort of a while.

Haha... i love you pokemon. Firestarters for life!
(sorry, i guess we've all been busy, to all two of you other readers maybe?)

It's been a while

It's been a few months since I've really drawn anything so everything I draw looks ridiculous. At least I'm starting to draw again! but yeah... try not to look at this for too long.

Follow up colors

hello colors!

Gosh, Dheshill is so sleepy!

RCP-UC dudes.

more heads from the sketchbook of heads! Good ol' Frelon (left) and Dheshill (right) from RCP-UC. That thing.

 

 surprisingly, when flipped, their faces don't look totally retarded to me. yay?

8th Doctor.

Is it fair to say that Paul McGann is my least favorite Doctor? I mean, he was only in one not-so-great made-for-TV Doctor Who movie (and books, but who reads, come on now)? If I had to choose, it would be him. Last place. Sorry man.

More animal drawings, but more domestic this time.

Actually these are Jonathan's Mom's cats. Trey on the right kinda fell off the page.

9th Doctor.

Christopher Eccleston is probably my second favorite Doctor.

Animalseses

Messed around with the Black watercolor finally. Its been ignored since I put all the colors out on the palette, since mixing colors to make "black" is way more fun. Here's two favs from the bunch.

rocket fish! (molamola)

tiger needs tophat and monocle.

Do The Work.

An attempt to remind myself to do something. I don't remember what it was now, though...

Coil.

I did a trade with an art friend I met at a convention. He was nice enough to scan it for me! One of the characters from his comic.

More Space!

oh, a quicky to remember what these doods look like.

Hat is big!

Space!

plarf!

I think this is the first time Armat has been in color, but she's always had some really unnatural hair color going on. (also computa inks)

Indoors Thumbs.

Here are some comic thumbnails. I like it when people show these, so I figured I'd show some!

I swear, he's going to cry.

oh. ewww. ink. yuck.

goooey gooey tears.

Cabillaud lines.

I can totally keep up with you Renee. Watch your back 'cause I'm right at your heels.

Some more watercoloring

Another watercolor sketch head.

Indoorsy Sorta Guy.

Oh you know. Translating a character and whatnot.

tali yay!

okay, so hopefully jonathan and rami will start posting so it won't be the renee show featuring these other guys.
meanwhile, i made a Tali.

  water color is haaaard :<

uh..

hey guys, i'm going to see if i can get the rest of the cactus dudes in on this art blogging. for now this thing:
