Not Alone 5!

Well, I know I’d said last time I’d wanted to keep this more consistent. As you can tell, I seem to have failed so far. But that’s fine. I’m not going to let one time set the mood for the rest of this series! Hopefully I can fall into some sort of rhythm on this eventually and there will be one every Tuesday. But until I get settled, things might be a bit spotty. If you can stand to bear with me, please do. I’ll update Twitter and Facebook when new ones come out.
Until then, enjoy this!  Yes, you can click on it to make it bigger!

New Arts!

Over the holiday, I decided to do some art as a present for my friend, Emi! If you aren’t familiar with her auto-bio web comic Emitown, you should check it out!
Anyhow, Ron, Emi, and I usually go out after work on Fridays and hang out. Emi dubbed it Medicine Friday, and it ended up sticking. Medicine Fridays are some of the best days ever, so I made some fan art.X3 This is colored with honest to goodness watercolor, something I don’t really do anymore. It was great to take a break from the crazy and do a full piece of artwork for a friend!

Not Alone 4!

Hey dudes!
It’s my birthday today! So in honor of me getting one year closer to old age and senility, I’m going to try and start up my web comic again!
Yeah, yeah, I know, not very cheerful. But you know what’s cheerful? Comics! Ok, this issue isn’t so cheerful, but I’ve got some catching up to do. Things will start getting cheerier soon!
Now, on with it! Enjoy!

Mononoke Pony

Hey folks!  I did a custom pony!  She’s based on San, from the movie Mononoke Hime.  I had a really fun time making this.  The little kodama are courtesy of Ron Chan.
You can see her, and a bunch of other sweet ponies at the OMG PWN!ES show at the Sequential Art Gallery on December.

Also in the show is this great cephalopony, by Erika Moen!

Monsters and Dames

Well, I pushed myself hard to do an illustration for this year’s ECCC edition of Monsters and Dames. Of course, since no one had asked me to do one, and no one was expecting it, it probably won’t be in the book. However, I’m still not sorry I did it. I worked hard, used a bunch of new techniques, and completed it several days before the deadline. Now I have a nifty illustration I think I can be proud of, and will probably sell prints of this at cons.
If nothing else, all of my friends were doing awesome work for this, and I really wanted to be a part of it, and prove to myself that I can produce work. Nothing makes me feel worse than wondering if I’m just posing as someone in the art community in which I exist, or if I actually have the skills and drive to fit in.
Anyhow! Check it out! This piece is also doing double duty as concept art for a short film I’m working on in my spare time at Fashionbuddha. Of which I have very little, but still, I can do this!

Unirus: Now in Color!

Hey! I had some spare time, so I digitally inked and colored the unirus. Enjoy!

Vrooooom!

Also, I built this sweet Lamborghini in Illustrator! Tedious as it was, it was also super fun to do, and I’m kind of proud of myself. I’m notoriously bad at drawing cars, usually.X3

RAWR!

I was drawing monsters at work yesterday. None of them ended up getting used for anything, but I thought I’d post them here anyhow, because I really liked a few of them. I think my favorites are the weird cow thing and the unirus. You know… a walrus thing with a horn?X3

Stuck in my head #4

Had some fun with this! Enjoy!

Stuck in my head #3

Hey!  It’s an update, finally!  My web service provider crapped out on my this week, preventing me from posting this earlier.  But here is another drawing of something that’s been stuck in my head.  This one started out as an exercise in tablet drawing.  I forgot my sketchbook the other day, so I pulled out the wacom, hoping to get more comfortable drawing with it.  I think the results were pretty decent, though nothing inks like a real brush.  I’ll just have to figure out how to build a brush that’s similar, I guess.

I also tried to put some of the cool coloring tips that the ever-talented Ward Jenkins  gave me a while back.  Thanks, Ward! I hope I did ok!

Enjoy!
