Scritch Scratch Sketch...

So, some of the stuff I've done lately. Sketches mostly but I'll look for other stuff too (lies, I delete the screens already, oops?). No explaining, it's too hot. Ask in the comments if you want though.

Tiny Fall Out Boy...

In tiny, tiny suits! So adorable! I honestly can't look at them without wanting to pinch their cheeks. Still trying to make a decision on the eyes though. They creep me out slightly with the being empty but I think they'll work three-dimensionally. These will be sculpted (like, by hand!) so I'll post progress as I go.

Semi-legible notes are only semi-legible (and bright red).

More DomWar!

Yep, new DomWar sketches. Just portraits, as I wanted to work out that part a bit more. ... I added horns and she's now got just a mohawk. Woo!

Fwoosh!

Quick color test! ... Okay, bye.

More Dominance War!

Giving you more, whether you want it or not.

Demon Princes Aren't Always Princes...

This is my DomWar 4 entry, in her design stages. Updated sketch page, new sketch that I'm still working on, and lots of random notes to myself. Still no name or backstory. Soon, soon...

Dominance War IV: General ... from HELL!

This is my general for Dominance War. No, I haven't been able to come up with anything better. ._.; If nothing else, she'll make a good character design portfolio piece... May model her later, outside of DomWar.

Long Time, No Post!

Yeah, so, been a while hasn't it? Been very much tied up with school work (and Twitter) and neglecting to post things here. Because, believe it or not, I've been sketching a pretty fair amount. Not a page a day, but something. Been working on my thesis, as well as an entry for the Dominance War mini-challenge. I'll post that later. In the mean time, have some sketches from my thesis.
First is Cheshire(Chester)'s final-ish design. I don't know about the fur, only because fur/hair's a bitch in Maya. Will, if I go with it, do simplified, stylized hair/fur for everyone.
Second and fourth are the Mad Hatter(Pierrot) designs. I'm making him fairly minimalist and simple. I think it adds to his murderous intentions a bit, makes them more... simple and child-like.
Third is Elle. Yes, her shirt is a reference to Fall Out Boy's "Pavlove". I was on a bit of a FOB kick and her shirt was way too empty. We'll see if I get sued for it later. >.<
Finally, we have the overhead map. You know the Labyrinth that Bastille takes place in? This is, essentially, the entrance hall. I need to pencil in the smaller pathways on the one side, but otherwise this is it. The entirety of the labyrinth is actually mirrored but slightly different. It just works out better for my sanity that way.
So yeah! Update! Shall have a massive sketch dump after doing some scanning and uploading. Maybe tonight or tomorrow?

PS: An idea that didn't make the cut: assassins controlled by Queenie who chase down Elle. Decided I did not want to deal with Queenie at all.

Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it, burn it, leave it, stop. Format it.

So, makin' another post after a wonderfully exciting day spent mostly in my bed doodling and listening/watching Cobra Starship's stickam (more fun than it sounds, swears). Here, have the fruits (well, the ones by me) of my labor.

1. Scrapped sketch of Elle and Chester
2. Doodling of Queenie's Assassins, who don't yet have a formal name. Inspired by the paintings of Michael Hussar and fetish wear. That thing behind with the WTF chat? That'd be Cobra Starship's stickam. XD
3. Random guy drawn from memory, mostly of Gabe Saporta and various models. ... What?
4. Random demon guy, but I likes him so he stays. I'll be sprucing up those sad excuses for wings and making this a print. Also, more CS stickam.
5. Random warmup-ish doodles. Something that sort of became the Kid/00.05 from Umbrella Academy, a doodle inspired by CS songs, me seeing if my chibis would work as 3D models (lol, no, but I'll be shifting things around and tweaking because that style looks more disarmingly innocent), random hand sketch (which I will be using for 3D chibi concoctions), random eye ('cause I like semi-00.05's), and assorted off-hand pose sketches.

The end, run away now, kids.

Sketch Dump Time!

DA Version Here


So, I'm finally posting my sketch dump! Huzzah! Here's the write-up, copy-pasted from the DA post I just made but including one more like. Because DA was gay and threw in a smiley... >.> Also, I think I just may have a thing for 'hawks. 'Hawks of all shapes and sizes... Anyways!


1+3: This is one of the characters from my animation this semester, Dapper Skeleton. I'll be uploading a 3D turnaround of him once I get him tweaked to my satisfaction and all that.

2: Concepts for another original character, The Thief. He's a cutie, and a witty one to boot. Hopefully, I'll work out the kinks in the comic he's in and you'll see it one day.

4: Brand spankin' new character I came up with last week, due to repetition of the Repo! soundtrack. ... A lot of repetition. His name is... Night Surgeon. No, I haven't come up with something better yet.

5: Yet another original character, Elle. I'm in the process of redesigning her hair. XD But I was on the way to school and I was listening to Metric's "I.O.U." and this happened. Yes, I do realize she looks like that one concept painting of Kairi from the first KH game. No, it wasn't intentional. Elle's got more spunk and a fouler mouth.

6: Random trolley doodle. Not really brought on by much... Yeah...

7: Yet another OC, Queenie. In, like, not quite but close-ish lolita. Holding a bloody heart. It's not Donovan's? >.> No, it doesn't make any sense.

8: Semi-quick outfit design for one of Melissa/Mooshu's's characters, but I forget her name. The Axel hair was entirely intentional. As was the underboob and lack of real clothing. Done in Borders.

9: Random trolley doodle inspired by Machine Head's "Davidian", despite the fact that I hadn't listened to it in ages. Oh wll, looks cool...

10: More Queenie doodles. I was working on her face and making it masculinely effeminate. I think I failed a little, by I like how it came out.

11: Random spy doodle. Nothing else to say about it.

12: Redesign of a character I created a while ago. Originally, she was an interstellar DJ who doubled as a dispatcher for underground mercenaries. Now she's just the dispatcher for the post-apocalyptic couriers those mercenaries became.

13: Random succubus. ._.;

14: Another random spy doodle. This one actually came first. Done in my Film Noir class, hence the notes on Detour surrounding her. XD

I've done more since the massive scanning and I should have 3D turnarounds (untextured for the moment) of my characters eventually. So expect more. Also, I'll have another story soon enough. Yeah... I can smell the not caring from here... T.T

Quick edit to add my crappy production still that totally isn't a production still. >.>

Dump

Massive dump of doom and I don't feel like talking about it. ._.; It's something like half school work, half randomness, and a single graffiti doodle for Mel/PB from her birthday. Expect more Tegaki, as it's addictive and I need to do things which need warm-ups. Yeah.

Sketch: The Aging Mad Scientist

This was the beginning of a character design assignment that I wasn't entirely pleased with and abandoned to head in a new direction. If I had finished it up (it was an aging assignment, by the way), his name would have probably ended up being Vladamir or Rasputin or something along those lines. But this is all you get in the end of that venture. An aging mad scientist in about his 50s. He looks quite tired too. And a bit sad. Like he knows his end is coming. Man, some of the things I doodle can be really depressing...

Style Play

I've been playing with amy style a bit in anticipation of my junior thesis, so here are the results from yesterday. These are all really basic mannequins with next to no definition and are, in fact, how I start every single sketch. I've decided on a variation of the one to the right in the second, a bit Burton-esque.

High Fantasy, Whut?

So yeah. Did a bit of high fantasy from a possible client, which is why there are watermarks (I'm generally too lazy to use them). One is an assassin waiting in some sort of underground cathedral or something. I don't know. Have I ever made very much sense when it comes to these things? The other is a hell hound. It started out like as s sphinx but I wasn't feeling the leonine mane and went down the chimera route with a lynx-inspired chassis. Then while I was sketching in the tail, I changed my mind and made it demonic with a dash of hyena. I suppose it would be a summon of some sort for a dark wizard. One of those ones that's just on the border-line of being uncontrollable. I think I'll call him Charles Morris David III, or Chuck Mo Dee for short. Enjoy.
