Printing my hands to the bone. Oh, look at me go! No sleep. Sleep is for the weak! Still up and still printing.

The Tattooed Rogues portfolio is finished! *Does a little dance!* The final title I settled on was the never mentioned: Hooligans. Which just seem to fit when I was trying to make the title block. Also as a plus it looks strange and cool. I still haven’t picked the cover picture and I think it will come down to Death or Dragon. Right now I’m printing them up for A-kon. Then I have to print the art show pictures, then pack, then drive 4 hours to Dallas.

Must try to remember everything for the con. No forgetting!!!

Here is a little preview of all ten of the pictures colored that are in the Hooligans portfolio. Hopefully the anime fans will buy them. =D

Portfolio of these pictures is for sale here [Buy the Hooligan portfolio here!]

Blarg… So much coloring. I want to finish the portfolio today so I can print every thing with out tearing my hair out. Plus I still need to find all of the art for my art show piece. Thankfully they’ll be mostly digital this year.

I have three more of the pictures to color. So Scorpion, Death, and Barbwire are finished leaving Chains, Spider, and Ice left. I still have no clue: 1. What to name this portfolio. Right now I’m thinking ‘Danger guys’ or ‘Rogues’ but haven’t decide on either. 2. Which one of these pictures to make the cover. I like the coloring on Death, Lightning and Dragon but I still have 3 left to go. Oh, so conflicted.

And here’s the last set of pictures from the portfolio. This is Chains and Barbed Wire which also sport an extra tattoo of cheekiness. Which is mostly me making fun of myself. Also Barbed Wire there reminds me of *coffLuciuscoff* the other guy is based of off a character name Trey(don’t worry only one person will know him). =D

More of the final pencils for the Tattooed guy portfolio. This one has Death and Scorpion tattoo guys. Death is er… *coffSnapecoff* but the Scorpion guy is not from anything in particular.

I still have one more set of guys to post later. Hopefully I’ll be finished with more of the colored ones by then.

Oh yeah, I now remember why I love Photoshop!! =D Although, now I realize just why Pat Duke was suggesting switching back and forth with Photoshop and Corel Painter. Painter just doesn’t DO some of the things that Photoshop does or at least not as quickly. Basically the best way for me to color with Painter has been to set up the colors in Photoshop first then take it into Painter. One thing that still bothers me is that Painter doesn’t save my Paths so I lose them anytime I save in Painter. Oh the frustration! =0

So far 4 of the ten pictures are colored and finished including Dragon tattoo Draco, Lightning bolt tattoo Harry, Snake tattoo Riddle, and Scorpion tattoo black cowboy guy. So far the Scorpion guy and the Dragon guy are my favorites. =P

And to round out this post another set of the final pencils from this portfolio. This one has the Spider and the Ice tattooed guys which are *coffRoncoffCrabbe* cute. =D

It’s guys again. This time it should be obvious who they are, what with the lightning bolts and dragon tattoos. Ahem, I also have one with ice tattoos drawn up *coffCrabbecoff*. So that makes 5 out of the 10 ready to be colored.

The snake guy from the last post is finished and colored and I’ve got half of the fire guy colored too. So I hope to be finished all of them in time for A-Kon. I still need to reprint some portfolios I have and print out my art show pieces which are a combination of some of the HP fan art and some anime stuff. I should have a picture of the art show stuff posted before I leave for A-kon. So if your going to the con you’ll get a sneak peak of my art show stuff. =D

But for now guys. Also in the works for this portfolio, following the suggestion from the last post: hip bones, long hair, lollipops, more piercings, a black guy or two, Skulls, and maybe a scorpion. Also more clothing that they won’t really be wearing, weapons, and more dynamic poses. Yay!

The point of this post is hot guys. Which seems to be most of the reason people read this thing… not that I have any problems with that. =D

Anyway, these are two of my new pictures for the villain guy portfolio I’m working on for the cons. So far the working title is Hooligans but I also kind of like the word Ruffians. Right now it seems they are danger in theme and the guys have tattoos. These two are fire and snakes and look a little like er… coffGolyecoffRiddle but it may just be me. *Beem.*

Please tell me what you think. Are they hot enough? Would you want to own 10 of these types of Knaves in some type of full color as a 5.5″ x 8.5″ collection for the low price of 15.00 dollars? Are you a girl or a guy? Or is there something I’m missing? Suggestions will be loved and more hot guys will come from them. Danger themes and other tattoo ideas will be loved also and used for pictures. General squeeing would also be helpful. In general tell me what you like, what you think I need, and how I could make it better. Because I will listen and yes your hot guy needs will be drawn.
