It was just that kind of night...

So, for the past two days, I've done livestreams. Yesterday was me working on my entry for nyanko-chan's contest on deviantART but tonight I just doodled and took requests. With all my fellow FOB (& FC) fan friends, it pretty much ended up being this silly free-for-all. From it, we have Andy Hurley as Batman (which comes from one of the FC podcasts, maybe #12?), Patrick Stump as Catwoman (long story... not really...), and Matt Mixon as a gunslinger with a chewstick. Want to know how this all came about? Well, for Andy's, you're going to have to listen to the FC podcasts (they're on iTunes). For Patrick's and Mixon's, you can watch the video on livestream in the On Demand section. You'll also get to see me working. (Note to the people involved if you watch: ... you should probably skip it.) Mixon turned out the best. I'm actually pretty proud of it. Except for the hat. One day, I'm going to figure out hats...

Okay, side note/announcement. I might be switching this blog to either Word Press or Tumblr at some point in the future. Probably Tumblr. Just letting you know, this space could disappear. Or, more likely, just not update in the future. I'll give forewarning so people can update RSS feeds or whatever.

Birthday gift for Grace! I'm pretty sure she liked it. Guess who the lyrics are by Bet you can't. Here's a hint, I really like them. A lot. And they make you fall apart to half-time. Anyways, I really liked doing this. Ink on watercolor paper was pretty fun to try. Going to try adding some watercolor to the mix soon. We'll see how that goes.

Really long time, no post so you get a massive dumb that defies logic. ... Enjoy! :D Ask and ye shall receive answers about these. Promise.

Post-Otakon Art Wrap Up

Otakon was... a bit disappointing, sales-wise. Though it was great if you love the drama. Anyways, above are my two marker chibi examples. Pretty much all I did. I did get a $30 full body ink commission that I still haven't finished because I suffered some serious art fail on Sunday morning. I'll upload when I finish though. Planning to do more examples for my book soon though. Cutting down on examples and switching to the 11x17 book threw people off, I think. Also, need to apply some psych to my set up. Sharing because I'm awesome (and no one reads this).

1. Guys look up, girls look down. If a guy spots a half-naked man, he's more likely not to look further.
2. My originals are fairly gender neutral. Though apparently the smoke heart in Smoke Rings looks like a set of tits?! What the fuck, chick, you're just jealous that mine look better than yours...
3. Neonvom, it's what's for dinner (and short attention spans).
4. If it's there, people will keep looking.
5. Small merch will probably help sales. So will actually popular series and animu shits.
6. I should pass out at the table more often. People are less intimidated if I'm asleep. =_=
7. Music makes the world go 'round. Doesn't matter what it is so long as it has a good beat.

That's all I got fo now. Free things kicked ass, as did my trades with Dan, Ally, and Emi. Grace and Khel shall have trades next con. I'll make sure I have ones for you guys. Ummm, are you both going to NYAF or just Grace? Hmmm, must remember to ask...

Two Cups Into My Coffee Break...

Lots of stuff this time around, and mostly finished too! Amazing, right?
These are two Gurren Lagann prints I've been working on for Otakon. Yoko is done. Adiane should be finished soon but I'm taking a break so that I can work on my other prints. Namely, Gambit. I sort of want to get those flats done as soon as possible. Why?






This is the progress on my business card design/logo. I'm done now. It goes from bottom to top because I'm slow and didn't realize that it would upload this way. Oops? Whatevs.


What else, what else...? I'm plotting more sketch cards. For now though, I just have A Case Of The Mondays, Angie, and a Deer Boy that I'll be painting soon. I sort of want to make a cute little Deer Boy Munny because I'm a total fan, okay? Okay.

Sketch Cards

So, I've been doing these sketch cards for, like, three days for absolutely no reason. I've got three right now and I'm working on more. They're in the order I did them, actually.

First is Emo Boy, whose speech bubble now has appropriately emo lyrics (from the hidden spoken word track part of "...but home is nowhere" from AFI's Sing The Sorrow).

Second is this... Audrey II (Little Shop Of Horrors) thing. I don't know, really I don't.

Third are my newest characters, Bear Thing and Squishy from the Tiffany Blews print. Bear Thing is a robot companion who doesn't really do much of anything. He was designed to be a protector but, well, he's not very fast and can only waddle. He's not going to do a good job of protecting anything. The bear suit is meant to make him look deceptively cute. Squishy is meant to alert him to potential threats, but all he does is sleep on people. He's very bad at his job. Perhaps it has something to do with the butterfly bandage on his forehead... (Toys forthcoming?)

Anyways, I'll be (attempting to) paint these tomorrow so I'll either have scans or digital version then. For now... Adieu.

It's been a while...

So, posting! Woo! I know you missed me. If you're following my Twitter, I've been a bit... wrapped up in The Rescue of Joseph Kony's Child Soldiers of late. (For more info, see the official IC website.) But I've also been arting! There's a... an amount of stuff that's in my sketchbook and I'm too lazy to sketch, but mostly it's here. I should probably offer up some sort of explanation... But I'm sleepy so bed instead. If you can't make sense of it, chances are I can't explain it.

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!

Hyped On Sugar, Will Do Pose Sketches

Just some pose sketches I did this morning/last night while riding out a Mountain Dew fueled sugar high. Done on the lovely Cintiqs at school. Will be going home to shower and crash now.

Why yes, that is a new Desolation Row MCR background I've got going on there. You can't see it, but Bob Bryar is going to come through my screen one of these days and kill me dead. His face says so. The only way to fend him off will be puppies.

Random Thing-a-lings

Just some stuff I've done semi-recently. Quick paint of my war general (which was never finished), both with and without sketch over it, and random doodles done while watching the Hulk vs. Wolverine and Wonder Woman animated movies. As soon as this virus scan is finished, I'll be working on my website. Something says iTunes+twhirl+Skype+Adium+Last.fm+Flash+VirusScan is a ridiculously BAD idea... But look forward to madpierrot.com coming to a screen near you, provided godaddy lets me buy that domain.

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.

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.

Headfirst for halos!

See? I'm pretending to work on new things! I realized that the only thing the person in my DA gift exchange (late, I know) even vague described were locales. Which left me in a predicament. I can't draw layouts/landscapes/whatever you want to call them to save my life. >.< So... I whipped this up in SBP. Ummm, don't try too hard to figure out what all that technicolor jazz actually is. Even I'm not going to be sure soon.

I don't care what you think, just as long as it's about me.

Too much Fall Out Boy is bad for me but somehow spawned the above sketches. No idea how that works out. Folie A Deux on repeat equals an elven druid thing and a demon boy with a faux witchblade? ... Maybe I'll listen to more tomorrow. Going to try and do my concept work for my thesis. Anyways, done in Sketchbook Pro, in a sorry attempt to be more like the concept artists I so love. I've got a long way to go...
