Role Play Game

Post title taken from lyrics (and title?) of School Food Punishment's song, "RPG."

Well, so I haven't been on a crazy, burning-hot drawing streak...but the drawings I've produced lately have been wonderful in comparison to what I usually generate. My poses feel...looser, lighter - easier to draw.

SO LET'S GOOOOO

Just drawings while I was lounging at my college last Thursday. Started off with a drawing of Belt about to punch someone, then I drew Aruna and Rosa wearing clothes different from their usual designs.

So-so stuff. Belt looks particularly awesome, if not for the odd placement of his arm that's in the foreground.

I was browsing a CERTAIN IMAGEBOARD's anime and manga board the other day, and someone was complaining about some of their work not being accepted someplace. One particular design felt like it'd be fun drawing, so...I took a stab at it.

I'll try to forget I ever drew this.

And this started as a mish-mash of random "NPC"-grade designs I doodled...then I filled the lower-left corner with drawings of Sarah, from Rose Hero's storyline.

I liked how a lot of things turned out here. Except for the guy in the bottom-right. The underside of his chin and his hands, wrist, and arm bothers me.

SPEAKING OF ARMS. I was talking with my girlfriend the other night, and she mentioned a concept for a character, and...well, long story short, it got me drawing a girl with arms being stabbed into her body whilst surrounded by many more. Not sure if this is quite what she had in mind, but I really like how the drawing turned out.

...the problem was, it only took up half the page, so I quickly doodled Aruna in its empty half.

Just drawings of various Rose Hero cast members. All of which look fairly nice. Except for Sero, down in the bottom-left. Ignore the malformed Kyubey.

The drawing of Aruna on the mid-right is something I'm quite proud of, though.



Well. That's it for this update.

...I really should just up and draw comic pages and roll with whatever I wind-up drawing.

"The easiest way to start a comic is to just start drawing it," someone once mentioned to me...

Reaper-Reaper

Post title pulled from the lyrics of "Philistine," from No More Heroes 2. The song was stuck in my head for about an hour, today...and I don't even have it on my mp3 player.

Been a bit since I last updated. Had a speech in Public Speaking that dragged and bogged my schedule down. But now that that's done with, I should have a chance to draw some more.

I also went ahead and scanned what I had tonight...so here's what I've got!

So there was that story idea I had, spawned from the dream of the anthromorphic cat killing the anthromorphic cat king...I drew up more material for it. Specifically, I drew the king of that story, tenatively named "Crown."

Maybe he's a cat! Maybe he's a bear! Maybe he's a dog! Maybe he's all of those things! I like the way he looks, regardless...even if his proportions are sort of apelike?

There was a little girl I'd developed, an orphan girl whose tenative name is either "Tira" or "Tiramisu," depending on how silly I want to be. Not too much went into this.

There's also a sloppy doodle of a castle/tower on the left.

So, if the king is an anthromorphic cat-bear-dog man, then obviously, his knights must be anthromorphic sort-of animal-men as well! So this page was half spent doodling them.

And then we have Belt, from the last update, kicking one in the head.


The queen, tentatively named "Meringue," is human. So make of that what you will in your imaginations. I reconsidered how her face, hair, and head should look while I filled the page out, so I'll likely change her around some...and use better references for royal-looking clothes?

Also, as I inked her, my brush pen began running out of ink. That might show a little bit.

Lastly, I drew Belt again. I like how a lot of stuff on this page turned out, even if the proportions and perspective on a good handful of Belt's body is off. I think that at least the gesture is nice.


Anyway, that's all for now.

Where do we go from here?
