Long Long Ago 20th Century

Post title pulled from the ending theme of Kamen Rider BLACK.

It's been a long time since I updated, huh? Well, I've only scanned in a portion of what I've drawn recently, mostly because...

...I don't really know. I've been in a strange position where I haven't felt entirely up to drawing, lately. My pencil and pens have been moving across the pages of my sketchbook, but it's an empty sensation. There's no fulfilling drive resonating with me when I draw, as of late.

Regardless, I'll show what I've scanned in so far.

Sketches of an old king, for a story idea about a legendary crown. There's a comic page where I used this guy, later on in this post. I got several comments about how nice his face looks.

Studies of handssss...

Women out of this Nordstrom catalogue I've had in my bookbag...

Worse sketches of women out of the Nordstrom catalogue in my bookbag...

Better sketches of women from the Nordstrom catalogue...

...And...a handful of different reproductions.

Bored in art lounge at college with nothing to do. What should you do?
DRAW YOURSELF DRAWING.
This looked...much better when it was penciled. I don't like the way it turned out.

The aforementioned comic page with the king in it. I liked everything in this except for that blasted last panel. The last panel is garbage.

Everything in this is garbage! The poses are so...unbearable to look at, and the foreshortening and perspective of the 2nd panel is wretched. The first one lacks a decent background. I only like the last panel in this one.

Character sketches for the Requiem storyline. This is Glyde, early-on in the story.

Glyde again, later in the story. Also with disproportionate arms. I should fix that. I blame my not paying attention to the arm length, and paying more attention to where the sleeve of his...shirt...ends.

Character sketches of Hotaru.

And character sketches of the cast of the Rose Hero storyline. Mangled terribly from my abuse of my brush pen.

SO YEAH. 13 images right there.

I'm not counting them.

I needed 24 more pages before I hit the 365 image count, right?

I won't count the last 24 unless those last 24 images are in the form of a single, continuous sequence of comic pages - a 24-page comic.
