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.

Still here

Well well, I'm finally getting around to another posting.

I have a few new sketches to show. Including one of the Dread Pirate Roberts. We showed the movie to our daughter for the first time recently and I couldn't help but do a sketch of it. I know there are a lot of flaws with it, but I had fun slapping it down on 'paper' none the less.
I'll probably re-visit it again at a later date. But then again, I've said that about a lot of my sketches...

There is also a sketch of a young Kaneda and Tetsuo horsing around.
Valiant Comic's character Rai in more traditional Japanese attire than the gung-fu pants that he is usually drawn wearing.
And, since my drawing hand is greatly influenced by media in my life, I did a sketch of Aang practicing some Baguazhang.

Hope you all dig the sketches, and I hope to see you back online sometime soon.

Sketches. Finally.

Wow, it's been a while since my last posting.

Since then I've finally got internet in the apartment, and have had no time in the evenings to post my sketches.

So to make up for that I have two sketch files I worked on the past couple of days. These are of the new character I will be playing in D&D. It will be the first time I have played a Bard honestly. And so far I'm really enjoying this character. his personality has really been forming in my mind lately and now I'm trying to figure out his visuals.

Anyway, I hope ya'll dig and I'll see you back here with another update soon.

Still no home internets

Hi everyone out there.

Well this last weekend was just as busy as I thought it would be. We had the big move from the condo to our new apartment and it went pretty darn well. Though there are still a few things that need to be moved yet, but at least we have a few more days to be completely out.

And I did manage to get a few super fast sketches done yesterday, however we still don't have the interwebs connected to our new digs. So when I got home last night and went to pull out my laptop to post the sketches, I realized that this was a fool's errand.

So I will post the sketches from yesterday now.

Each sketch was only one to two minutes. And I just wanted to get the pen moving again. Basically I started sketching out image A, then I realized that I didn't like the body positioning which led to image B. And when I was around two minutes into that sketch I decided to try another sketch which led to image C.

Not the best work I've done, but considering the amount of time between these and my previous sketch I'm afraid to say that I expected to see worse.

Anywho, hope ya'll dig and I'll see you back here for my next post. Which I will try to do before I take off for the evening today.

X-O, from a couple days ago

I found that I actually had some time to whip out a quick sketch earlier this week. And I was feeling nostalgic so I did another of my favorite Valiant comic characters. X-O Manowar.

Kind of a silly name, but made for some really interesting stories.

I have to get back to work now, but I just wanted to take a minute to post the sketch before I forgot about it again.

The move is taking up all of my time outside of work. And the snow that has been falling off and on for the past two days has really been doing a great job of making this week prove to be rather interesting.

Anyway, if I get some time to do another sketch I will. Otherwise I'll see you all when the dust settles.

Heads Up: Moving

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to let you know that this week my family and I will be moving. And as such I probably won't have very many sketches posted this week.

I'll try to get some done, but there is a lot of work to do this week so I don't want to make any promises.

Thanks for the understanding and I'll see ya' back here next week.
