Sketchbook - Plague and War

I wanted some second-tier villains in Hellhoney (a middle ground before the "final boss"), so I decided to make Nicolina's sister and sister's friends into the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.


Plague. Her germs create zombies.


War. Her acne burns.

The next two won't be so large, but for some reason I like drawing these curves. And for villains, I can exaggerate more. Skinny exaggeration is limited by a skeleton, but with these girls... wow, if I don't exert some self control, they might be several tons by the time I finish the comic.





Sketchbook - Walrus and Puffin

Some more mermaids. I was going to have more humanized plush sketches, but I don't feel like getting out my scanner.


The Walrus. She's really silly and likes to make a lot of noise! I think she turned out cute.


The Puffin. She may look like a spunky-type character, but she's just as ditsy as real puffins.

The bird-maids turn out so weird. Wait till you see the duck.

State of the Projects - October 2012

Nothing new here. Moving on.

Okay, I have high standards for myself and this past seventy-five percent of the year has piled a mountain of frustration on me. And this pencil I've been writing with must not be graphite because it has horrible cleavage and barely shows up but I still wish to use it up because I'm economical like that. Grr.

I did get posts done each week, including a Dark Writers one this month. Accomplishment. I have a lot of plans for my NaNo and a couple pages of notes. Accomplishment. I'm beginning to hate tumblr. Am I doing it right? I've got a plan for getting back on track. I'm stubborn and I'l probably fail again, but we'll see. Sketches. Woo?

I still am trying to finish Toilet Spawn, my Plush art, and the Silly Calendar. I'll have to make it up this month since the last weeks of September didn't work out so well.

But this month's focus is Hellhoney. And for the first half, QT Crawlies and Zodiac. For the second half, uncategorized original art and Mervscorn.

And for other things (like fanart plans), I have a month a week at this point.

I am insane.

Other things that should be worked on this month at high priority:

- That large list of art I want to do for Rica's novel but keep getting side-tracked on because I want it to be perfect. I had one drawn at the beginning of this year and felt bad about it and have been wallowing in shame all this time... forgive me, Rica!

- Other gift art I wanted to get done since forever.

- Boatloads of Pokemon!

- Boatloads of Hello!Project! (Does anyone care besides me, lol?)

- That October NaNo Prep Challenge thingie from writing.com.
