Drunken Karaoke Madness: Wanda Style!

Okay, by a show of hands, who here remembers Wanda and her big-ass glasses?

Well, here she is again with some slightly less big-ass glasses rocking some B-52's after one too many mojitos.

Why yes, I was feeling a mighty need to hit up a karaoke bar while drawing this. :-P

Dreamfalls

I've been in a bit of a creative slump for the last two or three weeks. I might have remedied my exhaustion with movies and video games but sometimes the best cure for an art block is to draw something totally self indulgent.

Thus, I bring you "Dreamfalls".

Shouldn't you folks have figured it out by now how much I adore dreadfalls? I'm seriously considering learning how to make them myself. Really. They'd be so fantastic, ^_^

Drea, My Dreadlocked Darling

Oh "Drea, My Dreadlocked Darling", how I'm still happy with you after all this while. Just kickin' it (slightly) old school this time.

Fun Fact: This was the final time I ever drew my characters' eyes sans pupils.

Cheer Up, Pink Haired Guy

A few weeks back I was out with a friend for lunch at a place that served quite possibly the best mac 'n' cheese ever. At the table beside us, there was a guy with long bright pink hair and equally bright pink shoelaces. It was pretty radtacular and I knew I just had to draw him.

Any excuse to practice drawing guys (as well as hands, always my arch nemesis!) is a good one! I also tried something a little different with the eyes. I didn't include my usual "shine comets" (for lack of a better term) that I normally put in my characters' eyes. Blame "Sailor Moon" for that longstanding drawing habit. :-P

I hope that detail added a bit to this guy's masculinity in some way. I just wanna try and draw guys that actually look like guys and not just pretty boy bishonen.

Sketch of Sorts: Candy Colored Falls

I found this little sketch lying around on my insanely cluttered drawing table. I remember drawing and coloring this last summer while my trusty laptop was scanning for viruses. Pro-Tip: If some window claims that "YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF TROJANS AND VIRUSES ON YOUR COMPUTER!! DOWNLOAD OUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW OR LOSE EVERYTHING FOR-EH-VAAAARRR!!!", don't download. It'll just scare you into thinking you have nasty viruses on your computer when, in reality, you don't. So close the hell out of whatever window you're browsing immediately.

Phew, sorry for the tangent but it seems like those virus "fauxgrams" are popping up everywhere these days and it's annoying the snot out of me.

Anyway, I'm thinking I might revive this sketch in some shape or form for a more fleshed out drawing.

Concept Sketches: Bitches in Stitches

Well, look what we have here! Some concept sketches I promised I would post as a Blogspot exclusive!

These are all character designs and concept sketches for a very, VERY BIG upcoming drawing I'm planning to tackle. I've always wanted to take this one on but I had to wait for the skills to develop before completely diving in. Now I think I'm ready to bring this undead, all-girl rocker band to life! Sorry for that atrocious pun. I wasn't trying, I swear!

Without further ado, here are the concept sketches of the ladies in Bitches in Stitches!

Lillith Lynch, their bone-chilling bassist.
Dolly Drainblood, the guitar prodigy who will get to fulfill her potential post-mortem.

Claudia Cutthroat, the deadliest drummer around.

Finally, there's Anna Atrocious. The lead singer with a wail to make a banshee bashful.

More sketches and concept work for this drawing to come.

I Am Not Your Doll

You ever wondered what would happen if the dollies ever decided to rebel and rise up against their masters? I guess you could say I was in the mood to draw something excessively cute and girly that's simply had it with being sweet 24/7. I'm really happy with how her ringlets turned out. Gotta love those Ai Yazawa-esque lips.

Codename: Jezebel

For my first featured drawing on here, I've decided to post my most recent drawing "Codename: Jezebel". Just try not to get "Juke Joint Jezebel" stuck in your head. ;-P

Anyways, about a month ago my really good friend and I were having a late night brainstorm session over MSN about an ongoing project he was really feeling stuck on at the time. The project in question was to take all of us (friends of his) and create superhero/villain alter-egos. He wasn't sure which direction he would take them in stylistically (silver-age a'la the Minutemen in "Watchmen", 90's style a'la the "X-Men" cartoon, sleek and futuristic a'la "The Matrix" etc.) but he did tell me that I would be on the villainous side of things and that I would be something like the Poison Ivy of the group; the temptress with a devastatingly poisionous/toxic (take your pick) kiss.

Ideas were flowing so quickly that I just had to draw this. Needless to say, he loved it. To be specific it was "exactly it".

Man, latex/PVC/vinyl is a blast to draw...but I think I should have defined the knee a little better.
