Mermaid

Something a few months old from the sketchbook. Haven't scanned anything in ages!

Owl Idol

Pears

Played around with this Harmony thing one afternoon. It seems to lend itself to pears.

(All I had to work with was a mouse.  Still -- pears!)

Sticky Sketches

Some Post-It sketches I did at work last week:

It was fun.  Maybe next week I'll do up some ATC-size sketches like this.

Holy Danish

The Holy Danish is a relic that has been blessed by a Salad Saint, one who, having eaten more than one salad in a day has become infused with virtue. It can also be created through the intercession of the Great Heavenly Salad itself.

Yeah, it was a had-to-be-there moment.

Animals

I've been really bad about scanning & posting stuff lately, so I'm going to back-date a few posts here (since posts here are one of the ways I keep track of how much I've been sketching...)

Hourly Comics Day!

Hourly Comics Day was yesterday, so I did an hourly comic! You can check out everyone else's here

Glarf!

Quick little monster sketches from work.

Opium

"Mmm..." said Opium, "I think you're right. Someone HAS been putting slugs in the coffee."



I'm trying to be a little more aware of the volume of shapes.

Slackin'

I have been a slacking slacker lately. Not necessarily in the "I'm not drawing" sense, but definitely in the "I'm not scanning/posting" sense. At this rate, this will be my least-productive year since I started El Bloggo.

Aaanyway. A quick speed-painting I did for my comic:



I'm working on getting some comic writing done so I can finish this thing one of these years.

A Mushroom of a Different Color

Hey, it's Finish Up Old Crap day! This has been hanging around since August:

Funky Creature

Hmmm. Not exactly a success, but not a complete failure either.



I really need to keep working on my painting.

Mushrooooms

Getting back into painting now that I have some time off. Acrylic on watercolour paper.

Not a bad picture considering my brushes are all split, the paper wasn't gessoed and I messed up the plate. Luckily paper can be cropped without breaking out the table saw.

Also: mushrooms NOM NOM NOM. I ate my subjects and they were delicious.

Pixie

Busy, busy weekend. Cleaning, shopping, screwing around with acrylics.... Finally got around to scanning some sketches from last year and decided to toss some colours on this:



Maybe 45 minutes' work with PS. Was doing some designs for a gang of pixie criminals. It might be fun to turn it into a bigger illo, if I can figure out what to do other than have them stand around looking nasty.

In Ur Face!

Hey, we were the second coldest place on the planet last weekend! We beat out Antarctica at -46C. WOO!

You would think "Hey you raving nutcase why are you proud of this fact?!" and I have finally realized why. It is because this is the only time when I feel more awesome than tiny stylish women with purple purses. I? I am built for the cold. I am short and pasty and *insulated*. And I'm not afraid to wear three pairs of socks simultaneously.

So three cheers for winter! I might as well get while the getting's good.

Fighting Radish Go!

Merchant

The Card Game

Finally finished this. I was almost done on Monday but Photoshop decided it didn't like saving files about an hour in.



I didn't notice that I was working on too small a size for this one. I think all I'll be able to do with it is print postcards. :P

Urban Leaper

Gonna do a bunch of character sketches this month, I think. Maybe I'll work my way through the CHOW topics from the beginning.
