Jumpers are cool.

Work in progress; some characters I created a while ago. Basically the only reason I make characters is an excuse to dress them up in stuff I can't afford/fit into/am the wrong gender for. I love jumpers; no longer should they be associated with horrible Christmas presents given by relatives!

EDIT: Unfortunately, stupid me accidentally did an overwrite of my original file, and now I only have a small compressed version. The colours seem to have become flatter and the lineart less clear. The things that could have been...*sniffles*

Artist figures.

Figures done for my team's SONY project, an idea which was later scrapped, which is a bit of a shame. =\ From left to right, and top to bottom: Michael Jackson, Lady GaGa, Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Diana Ross, David Bowie and one half of Daft Punk.

The goshdarn...

BATMAN!

Ribbitt, ribbitt.

It's a tree that births frogs! This makes perfect sense when you see the discussion that led up to it, I swear! An initial testing out of how it would look for our moving image project.

What I hate is that there are periods where I'm totally free with weeks on end of no strenuous work, then suddenly BAM! WORKLOAD. Sony and this have driven me batty. I think I'm starting to hallunicate things. Well, I guess this is the part when someone says "Welcome to the world of the graphic designer."

Attention to Detail (AKA Prapim learns to use Illustrator)

Prapim's Handbags Underground.

Done lovingly in MS Paint, an idea of how to organize my handbag collection's raw data into analyzed information. The zones represent the frequency with which I use a bag, and lines indicate their strap length or size (I should put up a key for this but I'm too lazy). Then I'm planning to add 'National Rail' or 'Links to airport' signs for their patterns. What do you think?

EDIT: Now with a legend!

Typography Project - Book Cover

For typography. I officially hate the penguin now. It has given me too much trouble! No matter how hard I tried, it just refused to be the same colour as the spine. Now, before you tell me that QuarkXPress can in fact import transparent images, try it with Quark version 6.52. Then come back and we can rant about it over some hot chocolate.

Because I'm vain.

For showing Toby and his grandmother the scarf she knitted me,
but in a way that flattered my good side.

Sherlock Holmes Doodles

*sigh*

Been having an art block lately. I guess this is my attempt to overcome it.

I was initially going to draw the first scenes of 'The Illustrious Client' but it morphed into this instead.

1. Irene Adler says goodnight to Holmes. (A Scandal In Bohemia)
2. Holmes threatens 'Killer' Evans after he shoots Watson in the leg. (The Three Garridebs)
3. Watson's old war wound hurts. (not from any story)
4. The Dynamic Duo!
5. A dying Mary tries to comfort a grieving Watson. (from the BBC radio adaptations of The Empty House)
6. Watson in the Turkish bath. (The Illustrious Client)

A late-night revelation

I-I've just realised.

My type, according to my drawings, are scruffy, rugged, masculine-as-hell men. The classic tall, dark, and handsome, with a side helping of mysterious and a sprinkle of exotic on top. With razor-sharp bone structure and a hostile attitude.

While this bodes well for my offspring, my stance of feminism seems doomed.
