Cosplay Crossover, Hands, Birds

Alrighty, well, only four in this update...

Someone told me to draw Avatar fanart. I...I'm not sure what happened, but somehow Steiner from Final Fantasy IX and my fist made it into the page, too.

...I struggle with drawing fanart, a lot of the time.


Studies of hands and birds. The birds invited a bit of playing with inkwashes. I like them quite a bit.

More character design brainstorming. Played with inkwashes and used a brush for linework on the guy over on the left. Doesn't look all that bad.


Watercolors and brainstorming...and Persona 3 fanart. The figure in the bottom, at the center, is an idea for 'spiffing up' my current cosplay plan for Kumoricon...namely the mask and sword.

BUT YEAH. I realized I wrote "Battle Coffin" instead of "Battle Casket," which I had intended...the thing still looks far too phallic for my tastes, but whatever.

SO. FOUR DRAWINGS.
191 drawings total, as of this post.

I should have 210 drawings by today, though.

Still behind by 19. Shucks.

Ego Rising

Still...so slow...still...lack of update...lack of drawing.

Must...get on track.

This started as a doodle of a robot. Sonic followed afterwards, then Eggman came up, and then the Servbot came up because the robot reminded me too much of the Gustaff from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.

Character sketches for the same story idea that's connected back to those landscape sketches.

ANGST ANGST ANGST RAGE ANGST ANGST. This is what I do because I'm uncomfortable making video blogs on Youtube for my discomfort with the world.

...I...comic-blog instead?

I really liked drawing this first panel...and then my effort and enthusiasm dropped as I worked my way down the page. I don't draw close-ups that well.

Also, I hesitate to use my brush and ink to fill in areas of black. I used my brush-tip pen for the next page.

I hate drawing scythes being swung, because it's still a bit difficult for me to envision it...but these don't look so bad. Also, I've realized how wonderful solid black areas are. CONTRAST IS WONDERFUL.

More character sketches and brainstorming.

SO YEAH. SIX IMAGES.
187 drawings total.

I should have 206 by today, though.

...So I'm behind by...

...187 + 13 = 200... + 6 = 206.
13 + 6 = 19.

...I'm behind by 19.

Which is...Not as bad as I thought.

Falling Behind? Oh Snap.

Just two images in today's update. Both are colored landscapes to help me better visualize the world for a story idea that I've got in my head.


This one came about when I started thinking about drawing a night scene. Everyone in this world makes homes out of ruined buildings, hence the cracks and broken bits of architecture there. The above portion was drawn with a broken-down, weathered bridge in mind.

More ideas. Ruins with entrances that can only be entered during low tide.

...although, if that were the case, the whole of the ruins, if it's at a lower elevation than its entrance, would be flooded, right? Maybe I need to think this through some more.

God, I struggled so long trying to think of what colors to use for the ruin sketch.


So two drawings makes the total 181, now.
I SHOULD have 198 by now, though.

...So I'm now behind by 17.

I've fallen behind. ;_;

Awe!: The Boy Returns!

Alright, members of the privately-public! This is a long-overdue update for the blog!

You might be wondering why this update is so late, and why I haven't drawn much... Well, in that case, I blame the presence of this man in my family's house for two weeks!:

It's my grandfather. Now that he's back in Hawaii, (along with this portrait of him that I gave to him) I can resume drawing normally...supposing I can focus long enough.

This was a drawing that I tried working on while Grandpa was here. I'm preeetty sure that Afro-Dracula is just something I scribbled-up to fill the page.

Dragons, flying lizards, and...cow-tree-dragon hybrids? It was concept work for a story involving dragons. I was bored during my mother's indoor soccer game, and drew this page up. Dracula makes another appearance.

And this is where I had stopped drawing for a week or so because Grandpa's presence was so stressful. This page had no ink or color on it until just this afternoon. It's concept work for a story idea that came to mind after the dragon idea became boring.


And then this was...this is the result of me trying to get back to drawing shortly after Grandpa returned home. Not too proud of it...
Concept work for another story idea. I'm not sure if the name will stick, but please know that I enjoy combining the wild west with vampires, among other things.

NOW THEN. SPECIAL TREAT. This is the 49th page of my senior project from High School.


And THIS is me redrawing that page after three years have passed. It makes me feel good to feel like I've improved. ;_; OH GOD THE SENSATION OF FULFILLMENT IS SO NICE.


Anyway. I'm reeeeaaally behind.

7 drawings in this update makes for a total of 179.
That leaves only 186 more drawings to go for this year.
I SHOULD have 193 drawings by today, though.

So I'm behind by 14.

TIME TO GET BACK INTO GEAR.
