Have a beer and tell me WHY this happens all the time


Sigh. What I really hate is my inability to finish my own comics. 

What my main problem is, I'll be sitting down reading/playing games/eating/whatever and WOW! I have a moment of inspiration. This character will do that, they'll get out of this sticky situation like this, fight whoever, etc. And I want to draw! And it becomes epic and awesome, and I draw like five pages, and then I think:

"Man, this actually kind of sucks."

"I'm sure I'm subconsciously copying something I watched a while ago here."

"The perspective here is so bland, let's redraw that three to four more times."

"I don't know what look I'm going for here."

"How is this going to end, when I don't even know what direction to take it next?"

And then I get a bit deflated and kind of fizzle out. And it becomes a cute little orphaned project. I must really develop stronger willpower, somehow. Somehow.

This was something I had in my head for a while (some kind of fantasy/medieval setting, you know, with knights and assassins and elves and dwarves and all that role-playing shizzle), but ultimately it's still at three pages. *kicks self*


So yes, I do know this is slightly self-indulgent, but here's a little sketch of the two main characters. They're supposed to initially start out very antagonistic and suspicious of each other, but despite their differing opinions on pretty much everything, share a similar willpower and strength of character. *nods in excitement*

So it's random-doodle time!

Last vestiges of procrastination. Going back to London next week. Looking forward to it, anyone? XD

turtlenecks r awsum


It becomes increasingly obvious what type of guys I like, doesn't it? Originally, I wanted to draw Erik a.k.a. Magneto from X-Men: First Class (let's face it, Michael Fassbender was the shiznit) in his trademark black turtleneck, but I gave up since I didn't have a reference.

The Many Faces of...

After seeing those particular pictures of Kris Allen and Adam Lambert making faces at the camera, I just had to do this. Also very loosely based on those photos of the Beatles in A Hard Day's Night. Both an excuse to practice expressions and colouring. I have found the wonder that is the Surface Blur tool. Woot!

Original characters: Jojo (redhead) and Gideon making faces. Some of them weren't as successful as the others. Oh, well. XD

Check out a vaguely interactive version I did for practice at HTML here! It fascinates more than it should (probably just me, though).

Can't sleep again! More conceptual character sketches.


Wolf-man really angsts alot about not being wholly human.

I'd like to mention that the Avenue Q soundtrack is replaying in my head, and I goddamn well like it.

Character sketch - Wolfman? Facial hair is win.


A week into 2010, I wish you great tidings for the New Year.
