WIP-ish

I normally dislike one-image posts, but I wanted to show a little something to prove that I've been meaning to update this blog. 


Sorry for the poor quality cellphone image (it's not even my phone, haha). Visit my Twitter to see what I'm up to.

Kitty-Doodle-Doo

It's sad how I'm proud of my cat doodles. Well, I still consider the final concept a personal piece since it's for my studio buddies. Cats are fun to draw. Crazy cats are fantastic.



I was actually suppose to be working on another project, but I was started to get stressed and felt like I was going nowhere. I started doodling some felines to relieve the frustrations.


Final product. 
Ghost Kitty = Beena Azeem
Clown Kitty = Stass Shpanin
Crawler Kitty = Catherine Johnson
Psycho Kitty = Patrick Dean Fernald
Loopy Kitty = Jessica Fallis
Spirit Kitty = Sandra Chase
Glutton Kitty = Me


I was watching Deadspace: Downfall. Necromorphs are scary and cool... also, very hard to draw.


"Sea Lady" revisited, maybe she evolves into the one on the right. None of my characters stays "cute" apparently. 


A gift doodle for my friend, haileyXheartless. It's about time I did this little fanart. I've always enjoyed the simple fun of her alter-egos. 


Finally, a girl with a cursed hoodie. 

Time for some beauty sleep.

Follow-up Monsters

A small follow-up update for my recent "Hair Monster" studies. Also, the website is updated with the two (technically three) new pieces. 


The initial idea for the new "Hair Monster". Something in my gut told me to drop the eye for the final study. This pieces was a fun warm-up though. Gotta love the simplicity of pencil on paper. 



The one on the upper right reminds me of the Mothman. I've never understood the greatness or the mystery of that creature. However, I find it funny that depending on how it is drawn, it can either look absolutely ridiculous or creepy as shit. 

Tiny update is very tiny.

No Thoughts

Of course, I don't upload everything from my sketchbook. Nothing more to say since I've been starving myself for a BBQ party tonight. 




Oh god, it's been a while since I've played with colored pencils! 


 



Skullgirls fan doodle. Three characters I love playing as. 




Finally, some anthro OCs I use to drawobsessively for no reason. I especially love drawing "Piggy Pie" tearing her pieces of meat to shreds. If I had split personalities, these girls would be it.

Mini Digi Fashion Sketches

I figured I'd upload some files I had lying around on my desktop before I introduce new drawings in my actual sketchbook, which I haven't even scanned yet. Anyways, I work at a retail clothing store in a mall and see all kinds of fashion. Even if the person "doesn't care" much for what they wear, I think it's such an fun way of seeing personalities (don't get me wrong, I don't judge people by looks). 





With this boy, I just wanted to test how I would draw built bodies with this proportion. 



These were fun color studies! Never knew underpainting can exist in digital painting as well. It really reminded me how to make an object look "white" without using white. Optical blending is a funny thing.
