Art! Early design of “My Muse” me and Mike drawing

Early design My Muse me and picture of Mike drawing

This was picture was drawn sometime in 2005 but I thought it was pretty cute. This was before I had figured out exactly what I wanted the “My Muse” version of myself to look like. So this is a work in progress image as I was testing the style. Also tiny sketch of Mike working on art. Yeah he sits like that… it doesn’t look comfortable but I’m sure I draw all wierd too since I tend to draw on my lap. Anyway, happy teeth!

I don’t seem to update very much of my artwork… even though I draw a lot. So I thought I’d start posting more stuff for you guys. No reason not to it’s just hanging out and all. =]

Hiphuggers dos and don’ts

Hiphuggers dos and don’ts

Out in California, I keep seeing girls wearing the “don’t” part of this image. They are perfectly pretty girls but they really need to buy bigger pants cause they don’t seem to fit in the size they are wearing. Hiphuggers are suppose to fall right above your hips… not squeeze your flesh so you’re bulging all over.

I just thought I’d share. =]

The Do image was drawn from a photo in Teen Vogue. I figure I needed some figure drawing practice. Also my friends call the pudge on the don’t image, the “Muffin top.”

Background tests 001

I’m trying to get better at backgrounds. Specifically run down and broken places. This is all pen on paper. No pencil and no white out… this is when I think I might do some work in Painter I miss the easy white scratch board tool. So useful. But I want to be comfortable enough to be able to doodle this stuff. That’ll take a bit.

Comics… TACOS!

Comics… TACOS!

Two more pages penciled. Need to ink 4 of those and I’ll have 9 finished pages. Then I need one more and I also need to finish the cover and then I think I might have enough of my new comic to start posting. That’s 10 weeks if I post them once a week. Still need to spiffy up the web comic site for launching this stuff.

Not sure if I’ll have time to make new stuff for “Saiko and Lavender”… I’m considering coloring the pages but I’m a bit daunted by the 140 pages of it. Still need to track down the covers and the Spooktacular files and fix the vector font. It’s all kinds of odd, now that I look at it. It’s not a surprise since it was a tracing of a hand drawn font but still. I’ll probably completely redo it so it’ll look extra spiffy. Also I finally found the thing in illustrator that bends shapes. Sweet.

Here’s the kid thinking of food. =D

The kid likes tacos!

Comic Muse

Comic Muse

After reading Finder this quote: “If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly.” made me draw this picture. I’m not sure why the idea for it just popped my head full formed and poked me.

Comic Muse.

It’s me and my art supplies (a Staedtler 03 pencil, click erasure, and comics) and a angel girl with swords. Maybe she’s my comic muse and she’s poking me with a toe trying to get me moving and if I don’t she’ll stab me vengefully. I feel I’ve been stabbed a lot. =[

Maybe I’ll ink this.
