It’s a sketch and not really based on the movie I just doodled it while waiting for that scene to start
Fuck I love that rendition of Ballroom Blitz so much
Watching Wayne’s World and decided to try drawing Cassandra because I think Tia Carrere is gorgeous
I think I got halfway there
I want to try drawing her again, but like… actively singing or something
There’s still a bit of the movie left I might try some quick sketches
The start of my piece for watercolor, Agave utahensis var. eborispina
It’s still probably a baby plant but it’s a lot less of a baby than my Agave harvardiana at the moment (which doesn’t even really have spines it’s so young).
I think it’s coming along, I’ll probably just transfer it in class honestly
I should probably practice some more watercolor before class but honestly that probably won’t happen, honestly
Oh no what am I doing with these characters
Knight and Princess
Knight before she becomes Knight
Shortly, at least
Some colors just for fun
Also I wanted to test out my Frenden brushes for inking so I did and then colored in Photoshop though I should color in Manga Studio because I can now…
I kinda miss having rats they’re so adorable but honestly they don’t live long enough and are very work-intensive and I could possibly deal with one but both? Not really :/ But still they’re so cute
The Pied Piper is actually one of my favorite fairytales, probably because as a young kid I saw the amazing and delightfully creepy Faerie Tale Theatre version with Eric Idle (side note: I highly recommend Faerie Tale Theatre).
I feel like in one of the poems he’s mentioned as having clothing in an old style so I decided to make some sort of pseudo-seventies look here
I always found the Pied Piper rather creepy as a child, but not because he was evil because he just like… this uncaring force of nature, almost. Those tend to scare me more now, as well.
I tried looking up what pipes of the 13th-14th century would look like and the answer is kinda “whatever it’s pipe-shaped and some are held like a flute but others are not” so I based this on this recorder
Maybe I’ll make this nicer later… I kinda like how it turned out
Because I’m the best daughter I kinda thought Mother’s Day was the 19th and not the 12th. Here is a small drawing of a cyclamen for her because her real present won’t be here in time more than likely.
Had an idea for a story knocking about in my head all day and sort of settled on characters vaguely looking like this
Gangly girl on left finds some special object and finds herself pursued by unknown people and eventually she finds the chamber where girl on right is sleeping, uses trinket to wake girl and ends up transported to another dimension
Sleeping girl is ageless and infinite and simply the Princess and carries within her memory the entire history of her people and with the arrival of the gangly girl she awakens once again, and gangly girl by waking her has become the Knight who must protect the Princess because if the Princess dies so too does her entire realm.
Just some thoughts I have no idea what will become of this
A garlic bulb I did in watercolor pencil
I might try to add more details in this week, but I really like how this turned out
It’s sort of more colorful than actual garlic but that’s alright
I tried out watercolor pencil on these sketches and I learned I’m a bit rough on paper so I have to lighten up when attempting to erase
Also what are colors how do colors make a life
And detail
But they were fun to make
Arras’ character for the comic I owe her. This is Mary. I need to draw her companion in this comic still and then resketch the entire comic because I hate the old sketches because it’s been a year ahahahaaaa I’m terrible
Done in Manga Studio 5 and whilst I’m not very good at digital painting I have to admit it makes a lot more sense in this program than in any other (also I was using Fenden’s brushes which are nice).
I gave up on hands I’m very tired mea culpa they looked much better in the sketches
I think I’m going to sleep soon
I went to the museum yesterday and did some watercolor graphite sketches with my water pens
They get better as they go along more or less
The Edmontosaurus skull is probably my favorite of the lot
I like the Moropus and Mammoth skulls, they’re alright too
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.–TS Eliot, “The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock”
Textures from my own photos and Lost and Taken
My mad science/super hero comic rarely has any characters actually being super heroes or mad scientists oh well
Janine and Sheila are 2/3rds of this super hero trio that doesn’t have a collective name. Let’s say that Marvin (the third member) is taking the photos because that’s basically what I drew these as. Phil Noto does these cool superhero photos from archives kind of deal sometimes (here’s one) and if I ever draw and write this comic I want to have something like that.
Janine’s superhero name is Corundumia due to her very heard near-impenetrable skin/nails/hair/etc. Sheila’s is Enigmata, and when she touches people she can share thoughts (usually other people’s will be instantly transferred to her, but she can force her thoughts on others as well). This is why she wears gloves even when not in costume.
I would have drawn Marvin too but I haven’t decided on a final design haha whups
I should maybe finish these, maybe I’ll print them out and practice like watercolor pencils or something
Played a few hours of ME2 tonight
I have this elaborate headcanon about Jacob and Miranda where they sometimes just hang out when they have nothing else to do and watch movies and get drunk and talk about the weird shit they’ve seen and maybe make out IDK but mostly just talking and drinking with movies in the background and sometimes they fall asleep and during work hours they don’t discuss these occasional meet-ups because they’re professionals and also don’t talk about feelings well anyway whatever
Anyway shut up I like drawing fluff and shit don’t judge me
Well okay you can judge me just don’t tell me that you’re judging me that’d be cool
