There's Nothing In My Hand

Here's a quick sketch for the night.

The Most Awkward Expression Ever!!

Man I have to start mixing things up or else I'll have nothing but a blog full of women with awkward smiles. This started out waaay different. This lady was happy, she had a pretty face, and a natural smile. I wasn't satisfied though and I kept tweaking it. Her expression became stranger and stranger until I gave up. Now that I'm looking at it with fresh eyes I almost like this better than what I had originally intended. I imagine now that she's looking up into the sky witnessing a first encounter with another life form. She's thinking to herself, "Stay optimistic they will bless us with new technology and knowledge of the cosmos." When really deep down inside she knows they're just warming up the space probe machines.

The Slightest Smirk

Branch and Leaf

I haven't painted in a little while so here's a little something. This is my first time using Gimp to paint so it took some time for me to find settings that I could work with. It was a slow awkward start but once I got in the grove there were no problems.

Don't Look Up!

This pretty much became a mixture of a cat and a snake. No forget that this pretty much became a picture of a large cat with a snake's head. I started out wanting to make this a mixture of creatures but then got lost in a number of the reference pictures I was looking at. Oh well it's still not shabby.

Rockabilly Man

I was inspired by this video I saw a couple of weeks ago. I was going to look into this and find out what exactly is going on with this rockabilly movement but I think I prefer not knowing.

Woman Undressing

In a way this is almost the opposite of yesterday's post. As simple as this looks it took a surprising amount of time to make. In the end I really like the idea I don't think I was entirely successful with the execution. I would have liked to come up with a more elegant solution for the arm tossing the bra. I'm really pleased with how well the shoes turned out though. Maybe one day I'll actually go back and do a cleaner version of this. It's screaming to be inked up.

She's Bad News

Is she from around here?

No.

Is that her bike parked out front?

Yes.

She won't cause any trouble will she?

She is trouble! She'll punch your girlfriend and spit in your drink. She's bad news.

For the full effect you should really be playing this song in the background.

The Young Priest

So I'm out of town this week visiting my folks but I brought my laptop and tablet with me so I'll still be posting. Man technology is great I still get giddy when I realize I can go anywhere in the world and as long as I bring my laptop I can do a graphic novel, make an album, or create an animated short. Am I going to do any of those things this week? No I'm on vacation!

Monster Co-worker

A Cat Man's Portrait

Looking back all the way to my youth I realized something. I like to draw cat people. I don't know why but I do. Check out this picture I made years ago in school.

Yea exactly a cat lady! What is a grown man doing drawing cat ladies and cat men? Well I can't do anything about that what's done is done.

Really Happy Really Running

Ok I feel horrible I've missed quite a few days but I'll make up for it. Here's a weird one today highly stylized with just a touch of reality. Nope never mind there's no reality it's just weird.
