More Metal Than Flesh

It's true. There are more robots than there are humans in this update.

I think. Maybe.

But hey, look at that, I'm updating.

More character designs. It's Glyde again, from the Requiem storyline.
...I feel really iffy about the proportions. My brain apparently wasn't working when I drew those arms and hands.

More material for Requiem - designs for a mobile Artificial Intelligence unit. I'd scribbled up ideas for them before, and they were cylindrical, but the spherical design just seems more fun.

Even if the spherical design looks a lot like those black Pokeballs that Mewtwo creates in Mewtwo Strikes Back. Oh well. I can live with that. Especially when I have a robot with a metal sombrero in the upper right of that page.

CELEBRATING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF SOMETHING AMAZING. MegaMan Legends 3 celebrations all around.

And subsequently screwing up proportions when I whine about Namco-Bandai making stupid localization choices regarding certain franchises.

Material for Rose Hero. Not sure if it really counts as brainstorming. This was more of just practice: drawing up a comic page for the sake of...drawing up a comic page. The dialogue's pretty bad, too.

I should really write some stuff out before I do this. It might turn out a lot better.

I CAN ONLY WONDER WHAT THIS IS FOR.
It's bothered me that when I picture grandiose, printed graphic novels of my work in the future, I don't have a concrete concept of title artwork. So I started playing around. The first logo at the top is more-or-less the same as the one that appeared on my senior project. The other two are totally new.

Meanwhile, I drew up the main cast on the left of the page. I think they look...pretty nice, actually. I'm proud. :D


SO THAT'S ALL FOR THIS UPDATE.

5 drawings. 234 drawings total, tonight.

I should have273 drawings by today, though.

Behind by 39 drawings. Not bad. I'm...I'm catching up. >_>

ARE YOU READY TO THE ACTION?

Sorry about the title. "Modern Strange Cowboy" has been playing in my head all day.

Anyway. It's been a long time since I've updated, hasn't it? I'd wanted to keep drawing after the convention was over, but I seemed to be in some sort of mental shock after incidents piled-up on each other immediately following the convention.

BUT REGARDLESS. MY GREAT REVIVAL IS AT HAND.

So yeah. This first drawing was just playing with designs of characters from my Rose Hero storyline. It was...the only drawing/page I completed in about a week. Just used a rolling ball pen for it.

Pictured above is how Tanner punishes himself for moping about and being unproductive. Notice that this drawing is dated ten days after the previous one. It was the first time Tanner tried to do linework with a brush after a period of mental shock, and the effects of it show.

LOOK AT THOSE MESSY LINES, OH MY GOD.

I think this was actually penciled prior to the convention, but only inked in the time following the previous drawing. I didn't want to use black to fill in space in the pages except for a few elements...so I used a black color pencil instead. Eh. So-so results.

This...this page was an oddball. It started as more world-building for my Requiem storyline, but...then it turned into fanart.

It's also the only bit of color I've used in months. That should worry me, right?


More world-building and brainstorming for the Requiem storyline. Brush was used for linework on everything but the mechanical cylinder. I enjoyed how the poses in the two panels in the top-right turned out.

MOAR WORLD-BUILDAN AND BRAINSTORMAN

HORY SHET! I still do life studies? I really should still do life studies...especially since they fill up my sketchbook faster, and I can reach my quota faster.

I still think the fully-extended hand looks a little odd. That was the only one that gave me trouble.

See that guy with the long hair? I fought him in a dream I had, and it compelled me to try and draw him. See those weird swords? We fought each other with those swords. See that weird party setting, filled with handfuls of partygoing guests? We fought each other there.

It was an awesome dream.


And this is a character sheet for my Requiem storyline, for Glyde, the main character. Here's to hoping that the penciled notes aren't too faded. I scanned in the penciled version of this page yesterday, and tried coloring it, so I may post that in the next update.

So yeah.

That's...nine drawings. Wow. That's..not much.

That brings me up to 229 drawings total.

...

I should have 270 by today, though.

I'M BEHIND BY 41 DRAWINGS?!



OH GOD I AM SO BEHIND JESUS CHRIST WHY AM I SO UNPRODUCTIVE
