So I do use my sketchbooks. They’re a mess of course as I mostly just doodle stuff like practice cartoon’y eyes and half faces. Tons of stuff like that, multiple things like that one one page. Often overlapping each other on a page. I’m a freak. But I figured I’d take pics of a few of those things that you can still identify in those messes and post them here.

I could swear I posted this guy before, maybe I just planned to because I had been digitizing him. Maybe I’ll post that wip version too. Just some random BatBoy that also looked kind of Werewolf’y to me. I dunno wtf he is really, I just drew and that’s what he became.

Yeah, here he is. Still in progress though he has been forever, so maybe he’ll never be done, can’t figure out what to do with him.

No, I can’t draw from reference pics yet, obviously. And I should use a ruler or something instead of trying to draw lines on my own ;) But this is based on one of the CA missions. LaPurisma maybe? I forget now.

This was going to be a faerie but as usual I just used the page to draw all kinds of random eyes, half faces, etc. So this is really all I have of her.

So I was drawing her (in Twisted Brush, of course) and I couldn’t decide if I’d give her wings and claim her to be a faerie or leave her as is claim her to be an elf. As I’m working on her, Brian walks out and announces, without knowing I had been having this debate with myself, “Oh, she’s a Vulcan”. Erm, NO she’s not. Hence the name. Whatever she is, she’s Not a Vulcan and she took offense to being mistaken for one. Apparently, like me, she doesn’t watch Star Trek. Though when asked I did tell Brian I might go see the movie with him since he had offered to go see Milk with me (not his fault it wasn’t at any convenient theaters, wonder if I can get him to go to Coraline, hmm).

Her name is Allie because that’s the name that stuck with me when thinking of what her name should be *shrug*

I was going to name her something related to her wings, and how I realize they don’t look like normal wings, how they look like some kind of broken deformed wings, etc etc blah blah.  But then, for some reason she demanded a star erm tattoo I guess, so now she’s Star.

Really just started out as yet another girl face. Decided she needed wings in the little room I’d left myself. At first I thought she looked mean. Now I’m pretty sure she’s just serious.
