Paranoia, pgs 3-4

Hello, Blogspot! Sorry, I've been a bit preoccupied with my tumblr lately, so most of my drawings have been going up there. Here's the last two pages of that Paranoia comic I've been doin' lately:

Meh, that third panel's layout didn't turn out quite right. 

Dang, this size is a little hard to read. Click to enlarge, if you please!

Paranoia, pg 2

And the excitement continues!

Paranoia, pg 1

And suddenly every nerve ending was hyper sensitive. Itching is creepily psychological! Trying a different coloring style, expect a couple of sequels to this comic over the next few days.


Also, I got a tumblr! It'll pretty much show the same stuff as this blog, but in case it's easier for you to keep up with it on there, go for it!

New obsessions

I am currently addicted to 30 Rock in case you can't tell.  Dang, this blog is becoming nothing but fanart, isn't it? Maybe tomorrow I will--wait. Every time I predict what I will post I end up doing something completely different. TOMORROW THERE WILL BE CARROTS. Lot and lots of carrots. Take that!

EDIT: I added a couple of drawings to this here video game blog, including an updated version of this post.

Walking carpet

Tried mixing traditional inking and photoshop colouring on this one:

Leia was always my favorite. Well, actually Han was, but when I wasn't busy being distracted with his scoundrel-ness I was envying the sassy beauty that is Princess Leia.

I'm thinking about posting some shirt designs soon, so stay tuned! But then again, what if I change my mind and just post more Star Wars fanart? Or Star Trek? WHO KNOWS WHAT I WILL DO NEXT.

He's dead, Jim.

Maybe later I'll get around to shading this later, but for now I like the flat colors in this silly little comic.

Fanart, as promised

Look, I actually drew what I said I would! Let's start out with something easy, hm? Here's my version of FemShep from the Mass Effect series:

Karina Shepard: Earthborn/Sole Survivor, Paragon, Adept, has a difficult face to draw seriously, hence the smirk.

I tried my hand at sketching Garrus. It was fun but supah messy. For some reason I didn't appreciate Garrus until my second playthrough. Now we are bros for life and I pretty much take him on every mission.

Here's one with less linework.

After the insane sketchiness of Garrus I decided to draw a neater version of Thane Krios.

HOLMES

Oh, I was supposed to post some Mass Effect fanart? Right, well here's a drawing of Sherlock Holmes instead. 

Obviously someone went to the theater the other day. While I must admit this second film wasn't quite as thrilling as the first, I did enjoy the err--visuals. Creepin' on attractive men aside, that franchise really does have stunning visual effects! I was bummed we couldn't stay for all of the credits. Perhaps later I'll try my hand at drawing Jude Law again. But given my current record of predicting drawings it'll probably be Pokemon or hippos or something like that.

boys, boys, boys

As promised, here are some dudes to go with those big-eyed dames I drew yesterday. For some reason I decided to use flat colors instead of the watercolor brush I was using yesterday. Maybe because these are macho men and they don't have time for no stinkin' opacity! Haha (no).

"--the fuck?"

D'aww, who wouldn't trust that cute little smirk? 

ohoho someone is a creepah. But he's harmless, really. 

My color palettes got more organized as I went, slowly transforming from a haphazard array of dots to a nicely arranged value system! Hoorah!
Now I feel like doing some fanart. Just finished up another playthrough of Mass Effect to prepare for the holiest of days, March 6, 2012, so expect some ME-related doodles in the near (most likely post-Christmas) future!

Exciting news and contemplations!

Just to keep things EVEN MORE exciting, I shall change the order of addressed issues given in the title. Here is your contemplation:

She just screams the word "hmm", doesn't she? Not literally of course, as she actually appears to be a rather quiet individual. 

As you can see, I've been drawing characters with these very large eyes lately and I'm pleased with the adorable results. Unfortunately, my good scanner is locked away in my dorm over the holidays so I had to redraw my favorites digitally. What a (fun) hassle! Here are some more inquisitive ladies:

Whatta punk! This one might be my favorite.

Le gasp!

"Huh?"

I don't know why she's so sad, her fro is freakin' awesome.

And now for the exciting news I mentioned earlier: I've recently been accepted into a very competitive communication design program! It is a very humbling/traumatic experience to put your work out there with 165 other people that want the exact same thing as you, but I can't say I'm unhappy with the results.

But enough humblebrag--stay tuned for some more big-eyed sketches, this time of some boys! Yay, boys!

Christmas cards

I offered to whip up some Christmas cards for my mom's friends at the office this year. Here's some that turned out alright. They're rather small (2.5" x 3.5") but feel free to print them and give them to your friends! Or even your enemies if you're into that "kill 'em with kindness" sort of deal.
