Charrtoon

I drew a picture of a cartoon Charr from Guild Wars (a Charrtoon). It was kind of fun. The backwards leg thing is kind of tough, but I think it turned out okay. Cat faces are really tough for me because they're so wide and short. It was really hard to not make this guy look like a goat, especially with the horns and the long ears.

Yeah, so it doesn't look near as good as Kekai Kotaki's stuff, but I like drawing cartoons. It's more fun for me. I also don't have all that nice digital colouring stuff he has, I have MS paint.  I also don't have years of experience, natural talent or any reason I should be comparing myself to him at all. So yeah, that doesn't help.

Oh yes, I also want to note that I've added "jumps" to my music blog posts so they don't clutter up the page.  To read more, just click where it says "Read more".  Very intuitive.

Here was a quick sketch of Lorkan from you-know-who's comic.  Apparently I made him too skinny ("he's muscular!"), and I also couldn't get legs that I liked, so I just scrapped them entirely.  I also should have had has arm in the back turning the other way so it's less conspicuous.  The sword also looks kind of dumb and he is wearing Luke Skywalker clothes for some reason.  To be honest, this picture kind of sucks.  Oh well, I drew it in 30 seconds (probably a new best time!).  The other picture is...honestly, I have no idea what that is.  I guess neither of them turned out all that well.  Oh well, consider these a bonus.

Sketches from Oolong

I went to the Oolong tea house and did some sketching. The following cartoons resulted:


I think you know what that first guy is talking about. Right? Heh. Definitely. I also drew a self-portrait, kindergarten style. Down at the bottom that fellow is throwing up a fist for the 6 MSTR. ROCK ON 6 MSTR! The guy on the far right is too good for this page and wants nothing to do with it.

Wow! Narrative! How unusual of me. The epic adventure of Devil Mouse, rodent of darkness. Below that is a caveman-type guy with a club, and he's IN the club. hahahahahahaha Oh man, I'm so clever.

Drink and Draw (Sep 8 10)

Ha! I almost wrote "Drunk and draw". That would turn out well. I'm going to post my pictures in reverse order so it looks like I get worse as the night goes on. It's mind games. I'm tricky that way.



Here I drew an eye and an ear and some aliens. It was getting late in the evening so I decided I better get to some practicing some more realistic stuff (hence the aliens). Realistic stuff is my weakness and it's definitely holding me back from more awesome cartoons. Therefore, I practice. Notice the awesome cartoony lines denoting that the eye is seeing and the ear is hearing. You never would have known otherwise.


Here is a short cartoon involving some popeye wannabe and an octopus. What is it about? Does the octopus take the crusty old sailor home for the night, or is it a revenge plot involving a gruesome tentacle murder? You decide! Also included is a Shaolin monk kid (who I have been told looks a bit like Aang from Avatar: The last airbender), some crazy little cartoon ghost, a guy with puckered eyelids and an old farmer with an awesome curve to his bodyline. The head totally doesn't fit the line of the body, which is why it's so great.


Here is a jazzman I started drawing before I realized I don't know what a saxophone looks like.


Here's my first page of the night. Not so hot, but I love the look on that guy's face who is looking at the octopus man. He's all like "uuuWHHHAAAAA??". Originally the eyes were all buggy, but then I topped them off flatly and it looked so bizarre I decided to keep it that way.

Anyway, that's it for tonight. Enjoy!
