Sketches from Calgary Expo 2014

Here are some sketches I did during the expo.  I also went to a few panels with comic creators and picked up a few tips.  I got the impression from these panels that it is important to sell myself effectively, so I'll put the better stuff first and then the worse stuff after...according to my opinion, anyway.
This blog was never meant to showcase my best stuff.  This is partly because I'm my own worst critic and if I selected only the best there would be nothing on here.  It's also to illustrate my own consistency and growth, which is kind of a fun thing to look back on years later.

With that said, here is another awful musical selection to endure while you take a look at my work, so I hope The Best Is Good Enough:

I thought this one was pretty good.  It's got some good cuteness.

I liked the expression on this one.  Really expressive and fun.

I started out drawing a frog, then a cyclops, then I did some guy overtop of both of them.  I like how the guy turned out.

Here's some determined-looking girl.  I like the way it looks with the hair and all of that.

I thought this nefarious bunny was amusing.  I saw someone else drawing a commando rabbit ,so I thought I'd do one with a bad attitude, or something.

Now for the stuff I thought was kind of bad:

 I liked the guy on the bottom left and the girl on the top right, but the rest is kind of blah.

 I liked the robot...

 This was kind-of-okay for most of the picture.

 A comic-con nerd!

 I actually kind of like the expression on this one, I just didn't finish it.

 Another comic-con nerd.

 Myles asked me if I could draw one of my characters from a 3/4 behind.  I probably can, but it would take me a very long time.  I demonstrated to him that it is theoretically possible, but I'd like to actually draw something else that night.

 Myles asked me if I could draw a "happy guy".  He told me that this character looks like the kind of person who would break your mom's fence and then blame it on you.  Of course your mom is going to believe this guy...how could a guy with a smile like that break a fence?

A really quick Decker and Jang.  I didn't spend more than 30 seconds on this, so...doesn't look great.

As a bonus, and also so we don't leave on a bad note, here is a reprise of some Fantasy Adventure Princesses!

Here is Ivy in her werewolf form.

Another one of Ivy.

Here's one of Clover looking moody.  I didn't do the lower body very well and I might go back and fix it.

Here's one of Pluto, I tried to make it look like you're looking up at him sitting in his evil throne.  I didn't get the lower body very well.

Joining the digital era

Here's a quick sketch I did that was done 100% digital from pencil to inks.  Jang and Decker commemorate my entry onto the information superhighway:
