353 Days of Sketches!


The other day, Tess handed me a pamphlet for the online Japanese culture clothing store called maruione.jp. It had some cool costume ideas and when I saw this one in particular, another idea i'd been sitting on surface. And so I give you creepy-eye-faced-lolita!

Ok, I'm sick as a dog, so this'll be short. Had the strangest compulsion to draw anthro. This is the first time i've tried this in a while, and while I like the way this fox character came out and feel like I'm getting the hang of how this style is supposed to work, it'll probably be a while before you guys see a finished anthro piece from me :(

355 Days of Sketches!


Here's a little diddy I sketched for conceptart.org. They do a weekly sketch jam called "Character of the Week" (or CHOW), where the moderator posts a character concept and everyone is invited to post their interpretation. This one was called "The Observer"
and was supposed to be some entity that roams around exploring. I thought of some crazy stuff, but in the end I just felt like drawing a chic with wings :P

Feedback?

Ok Briamaniacs, I've been throwing up sketches exery day for the last week or so and I'm wondering if that's enough to satisfy you guys. Remember when I used to do a weekly artstream post where I'd talk about a different artist every week? I'm thinking about starting that up again. Maybe more about other things I'm into like boxing and video games...

How about comic reviews?

"I thought you were made of sterner stuff"
Keith and I were shooting the breeze the other day and I mentioned how if I could cast an Avengers animated series, I'd have Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime) voice Captain America. Then I got carried away with who would direct and write and other voice talents...It was fun, and lead to this cap sketch. 616 Cap is hard to draw because you have to capture his physical youth and his psychological age (I mean, I guess you don't have to, but I don't see what the fun in drawing would be if you weren't trying things like that all the time).

This was a Queen of Hearts costume I was asked to design. Before you start busting my balls and saying its uninspired, you should know that it had to include a conventional skirt and top. Also, I had the idea that there would also be a cloak which would ramp up the coolness exponentially. All that being said, it was fun to draw :P

Pipeline was a human paladin I used to play in World of Warcraft. Really this is a drawing of his sword and shield. The sword, Titanguard, Is this thick, stocky claymore that tapers out from tip to hilt. It really feels like a tank weapon...i love it. And the shield, I think its called Shieldwall of the Breaker, is just magnificent looking. It has the creepy old-looking gray face in the middle...very clever.
