Stuff n' Junk pt.1

Super busy, working on a few things, most of which I'll probably fail at so I'm not gonna mention much about it.

Sketches for people:Flank M.D. An old character I was using for a test comic. Tweaking his look slightly. Whiped out the brush pen for the top one. It's pretty cool for speed inks.

More Water

I was doing all these water colours to build up to a series of classic pin-ups, then thought....why. It's not exactly something objective. I have so many other artistic weaknesses that need greater attention. Perspective, anatomy, sequential art, consistency, etc. Maybe I should destroy myself by doing a short comic to tackle all these at once. Man, I sound totally lost :s Anyway....

Oh yeah, I bought The Art Earl Oliver Hurst recently. Thought I'd share some of his awesomeness. They sure don't make em like they used to.

I also just realised that it's incredibly hard to make cartoons appealing. It's almost like trying to impress someone with a one liner instead of a story. You really have to make every line/shape count with animated style illustration. Hurst was one of the few that could do this.

Carry On My Wayward Son

Here's Cable with all its flaws n glory, minus my noisy background that seems to annoy most people.

Last week was almost a total wreck for me, I didn't have the motivation to draw when I got home work. Then I stumbled on a old folder of inspirational art on my pc. Needless to say I felt better after, pummelling my brother at Marvel vs Capcom 2 helped a bit too :)

Any of Bengu's Promotional and character art kicks me into drawing.

Edayan, Rival Schools, nuff said.

Dave Johnson. Wow, I love this cover for so many reasons.

(Edit) Kinu, Capcom legend.

Pushed Too Far

Look! An animated Gif!




"Oooh I'm so scared"
And one overdue gift!

Something Old Something New

A pile of speed scribbles from 2007/08 using my long gone tiny tablet. I thought I had a lot of digital sketches to share but sifting through the 500 or so files I noticed they were all weird anatomy studies, tests and thumbs of unfinished ideas. How lame. I need to stop studying all the time and just finish stuff off.

Some "faux" water colour tests. Need to do some good old cheesecake pin-ups in this style perhaps. Ignore the hair on the girl, apparently the way I draw hair on paper doesn't work on computers.

Fantastic Strawhats

A WIP I'm gonna put together if all goes well.




Sai Junk

Fission Mailed

Drawing without a sketch or reference made this exercise more stressful than need be so if quit an hour in. The energy of a drawing is the sketch, every stage after is just trying to hold on to that magic. So I guess sometimes you have to plan fun, sketching is fun planning.....*rambles to self*

Relics that’s I should really finish.


--> More goofing around in Sai. Should really play more with water colour.

Like Rabbits

Bleh! Not sure I like this. It seems like I can't draw fun illustrations and study anatomy on the same day. Every drawing done after heavy studies comes out rigid. I put some fast inks on her to get and idea of how I could salvage it. Needs many fixes like the hands, arms, face, blah blah blah...

Berserk. Love this manga. I could rant all day about its greatness.

Random junk

Mini Poll Closed!

So you people want comic/manga lines eh? Then more is what you'll get!
They won't look a crappy as this don't worry. In the meantime I'll research a way to speed up my vector inking.

Oh yeah, here's the sketch I used for the poll. Sorry to disappoint ya if you thought she was flashing lol. I had a funny line to go with this illustration but it turned out to be a bit too vulgar. Any one got a cheesy line I could use?

Brawl over lines!

A Poll for the three or four people that visit my blog lol. I know form is most important but what type of line should I play more with in the future? Vote on the far right there, c'mon it won't hurt....much.

Smokey the Bandit

I recently found out my screen wasn't calibrated properly, doh! No.2 is what I was working with. Not only were the colours off, everything was slightly stretched too! Oh well, it's sorted now I guess.

Anywho, onto the post! Here's how I smoke, first I reminisce:


*wipes tear* Ahh...The beauty of destruction.



The way I do smoke is very crude but it's more fun for me this way, that's all I really care about lol. I decided to veto the sparkles. I'll save that one for another day.

Twilight Waker

I like Twilight Princess but I really miss some of those fun design elements of Wind Waker. When I get through with the remainder of my uni work I might finish this.


Yep, it's a crappy smoke brunsh!Just goofin' around here.

Jaffa Kree!

Just playing with a scribble really, trying to use an old “Blur Your Eye” technique I was taught in the good old days. I used to use it in life drawing sessions to paint or draw at speed. It’s still kinda funny to me how the brain has a strange auto-fill function to help you mentally complete an image.

I should be pushing contrast more, shame on me!
