Colds Suck!

Hey again.

I'm sorry to report that I was unable to get another sketch done yesterday. I spent the vast majority of the day lying down (when I wasn't making tea, Emergen-C or pouring POG to drink). My continuous coughing would have made trying to get some sketches done a trial.

So depending on if I'm feeling up to it, I might try to get a drawing done, scanned and posted tomorrow (Sunday). But don't hold your breath.

My main goal is to be better enough to go back to work on Monday.

Have a great weekend. Or at least, have a better one that I will.

I lost an update!

Well, I guess somewhere along the lines I either never actually posted my Wednesday sketch. Or the work being done on Blogger resulted in the post being deleted from my blog.

Either way, here is a sketch that I thought I posted previously this week, but may not have.

Again, not my fault

Well, turns out I was thwarted once again from posting my sketch. More work being done on the site made it so I wasn't able to put up my sketch from yesterday.
Not a big deal, just made me laugh a bit. Two days in a row I had a sketch ready to go and I couldn't post them. Where as in the past, I easily could have gotten online, but I just didn't have anything to post.

Anyway, yesterday's sketch is of Ukyo from Samurai Spirits (Showdown). He was always one of my favorite characters to play. I loved his battojutsu style and his color scheme was really fun and fresh compared to the standard designs for other fighting game characters.

And this sketch was actually one of my favorites that I've done in a while.

I'm not sure if I'll be getting a sketch done today though, as I seem to have caught the crud that's going around work and infected my daughter. I'll try to get a traditional media sketch done this evening if I can. If not, chock this one up as a sick day.

Enjoy, and stay healthy.

What?!? It's Wednesday? What happened to last night?

Well crap. I totally broke my 'return to form' run on the ol blog didn't I?

To be fair, I did get a sketch done yesterday though. But when I got home I got caught up in, figuring out dinner, helping my daughter deal with having another cold, eating, and watching new episodes of Deadliest Catch and The Voice.

Then I got to work and fired up my laptop which then reminded me that, yes, I forgot to update my blog. Way to go dude. Not winning.

Anyway, I felt like doing things a little different yesterday so I did my sketch in SketchBookExpress instead of CS3 like I normally do.
I really like the digital pencil in this program, and someday, I plan on picking up the full version of it.

The sketch I did was once again of Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender. While I was on vacation last week my daughter and I watched some more episodes from Season 1 and we both thought it was getting pretty cool.
Add to that the fact that I'm a serious martial arts nut, I'm totally jazzed about the fact that the Airbender combat style is based off of Ba Gua Zhang. So of course I had to do a sketch of Aang practicing more of this internal martial art.

Hope ya'll dig it, and I'll see you back here later with another sketch.

Super Fast Snow

Well, what do you know. I'm back from my vacation and I managed to get a super fast sketch done today.

I have been playing Final Fantasy XIII quite a bit lately, and being the unoriginal artist that I am I ended up drawing Snow from the game while on a 10 minute break today.

But I didn't get around to the update until now, but hey, at least it's still Monday.

Now I have to make sure that I keep this ball rolling and get back on the sketch-a-day train.

Hopefully I'll be back here tomorrow.

Now I'm the Badguy

Good evening everyone.

I'm pretty excited to say that I was actually able to work up a quick sketch this evening during my dinner break.

Thanks in no small part to my daughter playing the movie Tangled over, and over, and over at home when I sat down with CS3 the first thing that popped into my head was Mother Gothel.

And to be honest I'm actually glad, because if she didn't I probably wouldn't have had a sketch this evening. I didn't have a lot of time, and any artist block would have ruined my chances of getting a sketch done and posted this evening.

Anyway, I hope you all dig the sketch and hopefully I'll be back here tomorrow with another new one.

I'm back for another long overdue posting

Wow, I can't believe how fast time flies when you're not sketching.

I actually have two sketches to share with ya'll today. One was done in a few minutes one night while I was eating dinner during OT. It didn't go much further than a quick sketch, but perhaps it will some day.

The second sketch was done yesterday but I never got around to finishing it, or posting it. Until today.
It was actually inspired from the last D&D session I played, and portrays my Bard, Marillion Frost meeting up with the gaming party. More specifically, meeting the Half-Orc, Ootah and trying to charm her with all of his wiles.

Anyway, I'll try go get some more sketching done this week. See you later.

Another Night, Another Missed Sketch

Wow, 2011 is shaping up to be a pretty meager year in terms of my blog commitment.

I didn't get around to doing another sketch this evening. Work kept me steadily busy into the early night.

I had the thought of doing a digital sketch now, but of course in my haste to get the hell out of the office I forgot to grab my Bamboo tablet.

Perhaps tomorrow I'll work on some traditional sketches. Unless the cold that the girlfriend and daughter both caught finally grabs ahold of me like it feels like it's trying to do. But we'll see.

Anyway, hope you all have a good evening and I'll see you back here again soon.

Super Fast Rapunzel

Hi everyone.

Ok, so I did this super fast sketch on Wednesday at some point with the intention of posting it either that night or yesterday. But alas, I just never got around to this blog.

So here it is. Late. And not refined at all.

If I'm lucky I'll get a new sketch done and posted today as well.

See you all soon.

So much for my Tuesday post

Hi out there. Is anyone still there? It's been so long that I wouldn't blame you for not checking out my blog.

But I actually did a quick ten minute sketch yesterday. And planned on posting it before bed last night, but with a girlfriend and daughter now both having a cold, I ended up completely spacing the afore mentioned goal of posting the sketch online last night.

However, as I'm waiting for my builds to finish I am posting what should have been here yesterday. Now.

It's another attempt at me working out my new Bard character. Marillion Frost.

Hope you all enjoy, and I'll try to get another sketch done later today. Perhaps during my dinner break.
