Parable 2

I've been working out the story and rough layouts for my short comic in Parable 2, which I'll be working on this year. The first edition of Parable will be published and in stores at some point this year, very exciting!


While I'm not saying much about the new story, I will say that it'll star Sierra...which is why I've been drawing so much of her lately. It'll be fun to finally have the character I've been drawing the longest in print!

Legolas

Drawergeeks topic this week was Lord of the Rings. So more drawings of pointy-eared people from me. I started to give this some color but didn't like what was coming out, so I scrapped it and kept it a sketch for now. I'll have to work on the coloring later on this weekend.

...and now with 100% more color!

Tried coloring this in Sketchbook Pro....I think I'm gonna have to give it a try with Painter next, since I got a free copy with the new monitor.

Angry Pixie

Since Jingle won't let me draw her, I drew an angry pixie instead.

Jingle

Jingle laid still in the studio only long enough for me to get one sketch out of her this morning. She likes to roll around on the carpet and do these really funny poses while laying on her back...I think she knows we think it's super cute.

Sierra...again!

More Sierra sketches!

Back from traveling

Had a great Christmas with family, but I'll be glad not to fly anywhere in the near future. The only thing I don't like about the holidays is all the traveling that's required to get us anywhere near our loved ones.

The new monitor is inspiring a lot of Sierra sketches lately. Did a quickie again today and got lazy on the colors. I still kinda like the way it came out.

Off for the holidays

Taking off for the craziness that is Christmas travel tonight! Have a safe and happy Holidays, everyone!

Trek girl?

This girl is all ready to adventure in space! Or maybe brave a convention...I don't know.

Scared Sierra

Here's a quick sketch of Sierra as done with Sketchbook Pro on the new Cintiq.

Merry Christmas to ME!

Joe and I had our own Christmas celebration this weekend since we usually have our own quiet gift exchange before we go home to family madness. Joe always tries to outdo me in the present department with some last minute surprise, and I was pretty determined this year to get him some great stuff.

Well, he trumped everything again this year by bringing out a brand-new Cintiq monitor. I almost cried I was so happy, and also mad that he spent so much. But mostly happy. Sketching on it is incredible. I haven't had much time to do any really detailed drawings, but this is the first thing I drew on it, a quick sketch of holiday-Sierra.

Merry Christmas!

Sierra dressed up for drawergeeks this week, since she's an elf. I'm getting excited about going home for Christmas and seeing my family again!

Star belly (?)

The topic for drawergeeks this week was star belly....completely open to interpretation. I couldn't think of anything super-creative for it, so I made a girl with a star on her belly. GENIUS!!!!!

I actually have a star tattooed on my hip. I lived with 3 other girls in an apartment in college, and we not only got along, but still we're best of friends. We met up a few years ago for a reunion weekend, and got star tattoos to mark the occasion. It's in white ink, which I got partially because I thought the subtlety of a white tattoo was cool and also because I wussed out at the last minute and wasn't sure I wanted a tattoo. Now I really love it and i want it filled in with a darker ink so it shows up better.

Cleo in color

Did a quick and ugly coloring job on this in photoshop today....I cropped it because the rest of it was bothering me. I must be out of practice!

More quick sketches

Here's another sketch I did yesterday at work of a tall skinny girl. It's not a great drawing by any means, but I kind of like the shapes I got in this.

I hope to get some colored drawings up this week while I have some time off.

Vacation time!

This month has been crazy. I haven't been drawing or painting anything. BUT....I have the whole week of Thanksgiving off! I'll be giving thanks for that!

In celebration (and because I was distractedly sketching at work today while thinking of vacation) here's a fast doodle that I did on some note paper. A few people came by and commented that they liked it, so I'll post it.

Cleo

Yikes, it's been a long time since I posted anything. Work has exploded in craziness once again and we've had visitors. This was a drawing of Cleopatra that I was supposed to do for drawergeeks about a month ago and never painted. Here's the rough drawing, hopefully I'll get the colored version up sometime this week. Joe said that he really liked the roughness of this scan so I didn't clean it up at all for this post. ;)

sketches

Stupid wacom tablet isn't working again. I think it's high time for a new one.

Here's another quick sketch I did between playblasts at work. I think she came out looking a bit like Moongirl.

New blog!

Started a new blog for my pictures, so if anyone is interested in seeing pictures from my recent adventures in Vancouver with Sarah, take a look!

Clowns...but not scary clowns

I finally got around to doing a drawergeeks drawing for this week. The subject was clowns, but I didn't want to draw a traditional clown cause they're kinda....wierd. I always liked Harley Quinn from the batman series, so I decided to draw her instead. It helped that work was pretty slow today, so that I could do a few!
