It's been so long! But I'm on a new wave of productivity.

something kinda different

It's not House. hahaha
It doesn't look like who it was meant to be even though I used a reference painting..
But it was very soothing to sketch

Annoyingly I can never really commit to a drawing to begin with
I just have to keep going with it and see whether it lives or dies hahaha

This one's for you Jen. Apologies in advance for deforming your characters a bit. Also i forgot about the back of captain k's cloak until it was too late lol

Ok for the rest of you this is a pretty rough slash complainoman comic.. be forewarned, there is walking pillowcase love. The last scene is my favourite hehehhe.

I'm putting some vectors up on istockphoto to see how they go. If you like this picture, you designers of the corporations, you can get it on istock soon! Or you can rip it off this blog. lol

the wrench, igor

hahahahahha
So this was an idea discarded for an intro to my portfolio.. one of the companies asked for something 'memorable'. I drew it to test it out but its too childish and lame lol. But I liked the picture so I used it to play with colours in photoshop. It was fun!!.. if useless.

ohhhhh

I never really got the point of doing studies and I'm too impatient to do them.I just want a piece to work straight away lol.
But I drew this picture and kept reworking it and it still didn't look right.

So finally I just decided to start again on a different piece of paper.

It came so much more naturally and looks less stilted as well I think. So I didn't really do a study as such, but just doing a 'draft' was so helpful. I guess I should have come to this realisation a long time ago hehehehe

Btw guys if you're reading this please post as well sometime! I love all your stuff and I need inspiration -.-

woah

I realise I only posted 12 times in total last year.. and this is already the third post for 2009. I'm three months ahead.. what's wrong with me? lol

This one was sorta inspired by re-reading Howl's Moving Castle- they're forever eating bread and cheese.. and eggs and bacon.. and cream cakes from Cesari's.. makes me wanna live there..

red tape

2009-01-16T03:40:00.004+11:00

Dunno if I will end up colouring this cause the perspective is so weird.

I have been drawing, just not much.. and not completing. lol
But then sometimes late at night I get unexpected moments of motivation. (SPARTA!)
Thus today inked the drawing below. Its simple though as you can see so it didn't take long..

Should really be doing other things, but thats the best time to draw hahahaha

something from before

2008-07-06T23:54:00.007+10:00

i like not colouring things in properly now.
not only is it easier (lol) i like the feeling better.
but too much of that is bad i guess..

edit: if you add text it looks like the cover of an emo young adult growing up graphic novel
bahahah! too bad u gotta draw the insides too..

"A large iron anchor withstanding the corrosion of the sea and scornful of the barnacles and oysters that harass the hulls of ships, sinking polished and indifferent through heaps of broken glass, toothless combs , bottle caps, and prophylactics into the mud at harbor bottom- that was how he liked to imagine his heart. Someday he would have an anchor tattooed on his chest."

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea, Yukio Mishima

This book is beautifully written but sorta dark and disturbing. I don't recommend it. lol
But ever since I read it I wanted to draw my version of this boy that's in it.. and who is actually meant to be around twelve years old... hahah oh well.
His leg is really in the wrong position.

And a lonely shepherd.

2008-03-11T22:31:00.004+11:00

Woah more than one post today!! Admittedly, I drew the one before on another day..
And I just realised how similar this guy looks to the one below.
But then, most of my guys look pretty similar.. :S

The boy in the last post grown up?
lol

oh they dried

2008-03-05T00:13:00.003+11:00

I draw so chaotically there was no room on the page for the boy to grow.

not simple

2008-03-04T23:52:00.003+11:00

I did draw stuff today.. but the ink isn't dry so I can't scan it in right now. lol
(good excuse for missing a post?)

But I'll show you guys a manga artist I really like at the moment. She's a japanese artist named Ono Natsume. A friend just showed me her copy of this book briefly and then .. <3
So I don't actually know much about her, and I havent really seen much of her stuff. hahah
But what I've seen is really good.

But it's hard to even find any images of her stuff online.. Apparently she's done a few other books, and does yaoi under a cover name lol. But my friend got the book in korea.. and I don't think much of her stuff is well known, she seems more independant-y.

Must buy this book off amazon one day.
Even if i don't understand it lol

a couple more

2008-03-03T22:31:00.002+11:00

I should have coloured this better, but I only liked the monkey hahah.
Next time he will have the starring role.

Reality is too grey atm so I've been sleeping whenever I can
and I updated my r4 card so that i can play zelda
the princess says she wants me to save her..
lol

no matter how I shopped that image up there, it didn't look like how it did on paper
It looked too contrasty straight after the scan, and i turned off all the auto modes!
Must just be cause.. its only pencil.

making a start

2008-02-28T00:20:00.001+11:00

Time to start being productive. From.. now!
Hopefully this blog will keep me drawing every day.
