Pencil Lines

I’m really enjoying my anthropology class. We were watching this video: The Nuer, and I couldn’t get over how beautiful the people were. I wish I had better references for their scarification patterns, then I might have given this lady some.

I was too frustrated after redrawing her left leg about a dozen times, so I just left it as is. Please try to ignore it? One of these days I’ll have the time to actually sit down with an anatomy book and figure out how to draw these things.

A sketch done tonight when I should have been doing homework. Man, I have so much I need to do it’s not even funny. That should explain some of the lack of art that’s been happening the past month or so, I apologize.

This happens every single time. Sometimes I wonder how I’m not a bald old lady by now.

Also; that first panel is entirely too sexy. And then the art degrades more and more until it gets to that utterly indecipherable last panel. This is why I wish I had a comic/cartoony style, so I can draw things simpler and less sexy, so it doesn’t look like I’m showing off and so I don’t get tired/bored by the last panel and end up drawing it like crap. (Also: Never draw tiles again.)

Practice!

Not sure I’ll upload this one to DeviantArt… I don’t know, what do you think? Too risqué?

Another comic! This time featuring my friends. From left to right: Me, Dennis, d7(the GM) and Nigel.

This is a scene that happened in our second game of Savage Worlds setting Shaintar. I play a Brinchie (aka. cat person, aka. Khajiit) named Lii who has an absolutely wicked high agility score, and edges to make it even better.  To illustrate: there were no D20’s involved. So a score of 27 is pretty damn wicked.

Also: I only needed a 4.

As a result, she chased down a guy from a ridiculous way away and when she caught him she pasted him into a tree. It was awesome. I tried to capture that awesomeness in this comic, but I’m afraid I might have failed. Any crits or advice would be appreciated!

So yes, I drew and inked this in two hours last night when I should have been sleeping. I’ve got to stop doing that…

Kids movies always do that to me. Especially “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron”. It might not be the best movie ever, but it awakes inside of me everything that I used to dream when I was eight years old.

(Not that the movie was out when I was eight years old, or anything. But you know, makes me “feel” eight.)

Will this kind of thing become a habit? I don’t know. But it’ll be fun to experiment with for a while. =)

(My critique: Man, I really should have paid more attention to that second panel. Yuck.)

Thoughts?

A very quickly done and cartoony self-portrait.

Foolin’ around with Photoshop some more. Trying to work looser and faster, without worrying about perfection. I really need to work on more interesting and dynamic poses though.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
