DELTASTIC.

and then there's this guy

2010-05-15T02:39:00.002-04:00

Oh godddddd I'm sorry sketchblog! Hahaha, these things just tend to happen... :3;; oops. But here's some sketches! This is a new thought-up char (he's just from backstories, and probably won't be featured in anything..) his name is Norbert :D and there's a marker/pen sketch from my sketchbook, some design sketches, and then a photoshop painted portrait. Yeppp! DELVE EATS MY LIFEEEEEE

where have all the good sketches gone?

2010-02-10T04:16:00.003-05:00

Omg hi sketchblog :D Long time no see, eh? Hahahaha. Sorry things have been pretttyyy wacky over here in Del-land~ busy to boot, what with the new webcomic coming out! Ou, has you not heard of it? Well, you can head over to DelveIntoFantasy.com to check out the scoop~

but enough of my pluggin' the comic. The above pictures? all actual sketches from a new sketchbook of mine, for starters! And all in straight ballpoint pen- pencils are too messy and too precious to lose so easily xD And they are of... Rellik looking grumpy, Some DELVE chars (no spoilers yet ;3) and then another Rellik-face. Yep! Since I don't draw him that much normally now, he haunts my sketchbooks xD hahaha. How can you say no to that grumpy mug? :( Anyway, thanks so much to those of you still watching, and I will keep attempting to update whenever I can!! <3 <3

Livestream doodlies

2009-12-09T21:01:00.004-05:00

On (whimpering and crying) request- I have posted these doodles I did on livestream last night. I usually keep these under wraps, just so that they're special for those people who happen to attend (and stay up until all hours of the night with me), but I'll make an exception this time. These are all done on request- thus the randomness.

The first is a cool OC of Kitty's named Lady-of-the-Lost. The second is a picture of my Rellik and DeadGP's vampire, Dan, as little kids. Also being harassed by Dan's father, Francis who frightens me. Lastly, we have even more random sketchy doodles- including a pic of me, Moof drunk off eggnog, Tulio + Miguel from Road to El Dorado, and The Man They Call Jayne from Firefly.

That is all!!!

Pirinja Rides Again

2009-11-24T08:01:00.006-05:00

Enjoy tonight a whole wack of Zankou portraits~! She's so hard to draw it takes a bit of practice to get back into the groove of what she looks like.. But yes, for those who don't know her, this is Zankou, Jamaican Pirate-Ninja. Awww yeah. First two done on the computer (Photoshop, then SAI), and the triple ones were done with pen in a tiny sketchbook. Wooo~ Until next time, kids.

brainbabies

2009-11-09T00:45:00.004-05:00

yayyyy some more doodles! And these are more finished than my usual chickenscratch (at least 2/3) so yay for that! First: a pic of goopy couple Nikita and Surion, and then a new character, lovingly referred to as The Chosen One. Guh, I just never stop making freaks, do I...

Just some tidbits

2009-10-22T04:13:00.002-04:00

Halloween draws ever nearer! Fufufufufu~ Ohh yes the great holiday of ORANGE :D yesss. Just some totally sketchy stuff this time around- Random char portraits are random!

Char blerurughgsusfufgh

2009-10-19T05:31:00.002-04:00

Hu-HA! I has sketches, lookit that. And there might be more in the future.. also, my dad got me a scanner (GASP! LUV U DADDEEE) so now I will also be able to scan in my pencil doodles.. which hopefully will add a bit of an influx over here. We shall see~ Today all we have.. are sketches/char concepty stuff for Niden, who I drew earlier. Finally trying to nail down his face/expressions exactly. So.. yep. That's that!

Sketchy McSketchdom

2009-09-22T19:36:00.003-04:00

Here's some more doodles, me peeps! Just sketchy-sketchies this time around. First off we've got some sketches of Tain, just head/hair stuff.. then some doodles of Surion and his girl, and then lastly some Zankou doodles. Just stuff that I did in the deep of the night before sleep overtook me. Yesssss~

Finally, some more art!

2009-09-09T16:55:00.003-04:00

Yaaay, so things seem to be working today! So you finally get some art. Honestly, I've been absolutely slammed with work- mostly because, being a freelancer, if I'm not working for money... then I'm basically stealing money from myself. I know, that totally sucks, but things are so tight that it's true. So recently I haven't been doing any doodling, since my freetime was mostly filled with working on my Rellik graphic novel or other convention things. Now that all my cons are done for the year (until January) I have a teeny bit of freetime.. and soon my coloring job will come to a close, so I may have a little reprieve. Phew.

So here's some recent doodles (finally!). First off a slab of doodles that I did in the middle of the night on a late late Livestream when I ran out of steam to work on illustrations. Totally random portraits, including what Rel would look like if he had to watch Twilight. Hehehe. Secondly, a pic of Pandora and Rel- that's pretty much his expression around her at all times.

And last but not least a sketch of the baddies in DELVE! Gotta love these guys. I've also been pressing forward with working on DELVE as a webcomic- and man.. it's going to be fun, and I really hope it's well-received, but right now the biggest thing is trying to rework all those old characters for use in my art style how it is now! Everyone's starting to look a lot different- but although the DELVE characters are a lot more anime-looking, I now draw so much more realistically.. I can see that I'm going to have to do char design & turnarounds for all the chars @_@ so... I'll be getting on that soon. xD hahahhaa! But I did like how this doodle came out. Yessss~

Uhm. So yep xD That's it from me! I'll try to update this more regularly from now on :3

aw, fail..

2009-09-09T07:14:00.002-04:00

awwww. I tried to hard to upload photos to the blog :\ but apparently there is internal errorozozorz. it is a sadness. I had them resized and everything! Boooo~ Sorry doods :\ better luck next deltime xD

unfamiliar faces

2009-04-20T15:27:00.003-04:00

Hey long time no post! I've been crazy busy with work-artwork among other things, but I've managed to sneak a few doodles in here and there.. so here we are! I think this week is.. characters I've never drawn before on the sketchblog. Hahahaha! So here's the lineup: Niden: sniper extraordinaire and baked-goods obsesser, Ayriss: super fashion model rich chic pinup, and lastlyl Uky: who looks oddly familiar~ HMMMMM.

That's all kids! 'Til next time~

a smattering of do

2009-03-27T01:17:00.004-04:00

Here's some middle-of-the-night SAI doodles! Yep! Just a random nothings.. I've not really had much time to work on just random crap, since I've been like this "@~@" with real work. But one night I said screw it and just doodled whatever popped into my head. So that is, in order- Nian, Yen, and Vladimir. Vlad is my computer. He's so sexy T_T both in pics and IRL right here next to me.. that's right, baby.. you're such a good PC *pets*

Yep. That is all.

new stuff and wtf is that thing up there

2009-03-19T04:58:00.003-04:00

okay, here's the sketch rundown: a picture I did for my friend Jeremy's birthday of his char, some random OpenCanvas doodling including Mathias, and a really really quick sketch of Nun-Lugal I did while in U-Stream which brings me to:

U-STREAM! It's that video thing that's there above my posts. I'm pondering putting it below my posts, but we'll see. It's basically a live streaming TV show thang that I sometimes screw around in. If you see things happening there, then it's me.. right then.. right there.. doodling. I figured I'd add it to the sketchblog because besides sharing a name and a titlebar, they also share the whole "in-progress/making-of" shtick. So there ya go! You can visit the actual page for the show by clicking around in that widget, or clicking here! Woof.

It's the 5am CRAZIES got me

2009-02-19T05:21:00.003-05:00

SO. I'm totally awake and thought I'd post the sketches I scanned ...just for you, sketchblog. That's right. You bettah be payin' attentions *W*!! So here we go:

Number one is a picture of Rel & Del from Law of Talos that had been haunting me and forced me to draw it. Badly. But there it is. Secondly we've got a pic of Evil Mihaynye accosting Mathias! Because.. y'know. Fun times. And lastly it's a picture on request from the girls of DC (somuchlove) to draw Tjejoljy chillin with Nian. I think she's telling him to get meat on his bones or grow some chest hair or something. Prudently marked with a "THIS IS NOT AN OTP D:<<" just in case anyone was wondering.

That's it for now!! I'm. working on... other thiiiings~ >3 mewhehehehe
PS: I totally forgot to watermark these. Because i'm a dummy! *thumbsup*

Revenge of Sketches

2009-02-18T04:10:00.002-05:00

;-; sketches. So happy. I'm finally getting down to the very tail end of the paid holiday commissions I have to do, so.. look at this! Spare time. I've been fooling around in Painter a lot lately- I haven't touched it since the year started, actually- and I really do like some of the effects I'm getting. I'm just trying to figure a better and/or faster way to color, or -something-... Just getting a bit stircrazy doing so many portraits the same way (which I MUST, since it's what people paid for), and I'm having a good time having sketchytimes again.

I promise again that I'll scan stuff soonnnnn-ish. Yep. But as for the sketchies: Number one is a doodle of Kentaro, another addition to the "Del"-canon universe (the whole, how can Del be in Rellik's story and effect things etc etc) but really he just wanted to be drawn. And he always wants to be drawn faaar more cool than he actually is, so there you go. Secondly is a doodle of Chial experimenting in painter (she's so cute) and lastly a picture of Lyro Paw, a poor char of mine who hasn't been drawn since '06. Sorry, darling. I forgot about you kinda.. ehehehhh.

Also, if you haven't already noticed, I've been playing around with a watermark/link thing.. mostly so that, if people do save any of my stuff to HD, they can find their way back to me. I think it's a good idea. What you think? Too distracty?

Sooooo.. that's that until I decide to scan things. Woo!

and my triumphant return.. kinda

2009-02-10T23:11:00.002-05:00

Oh my loyal followers! How I have shirked thee so! Sorry. I've had a lot of commissions and I really feel bad working on doodles when I should be doing that... and also.. well, I'm really lazy about the scanner. I hate using my dad's old scanner. It just.. interrupts my flow. But seriously, I will get on scanning some of my trip doodles soon! Until then, have some opencanvas doodles, more opencanvas doodles, followed by a good smattering of paintchat doodles from a late night stint. Enjoy!! I'll be back with quality work for ya'll ASAP. Woof!

not quite dead yet

2009-01-19T13:44:00.000-05:00

Just some doodles from OpenCanvas this time around! I like doodling in that program (Oc1.1) because it's so simple and small and noncommittal. Mwehehe. It just runs fast and nicely <3 and makes such thin little lines. *yawn* anyyywaaayyy~ going out of town on wednesday! The good news in this is i'll be doing a lot of sketchbook and otherwise drawing, so i'm sure there'll be plenty to post upon my return early in February. <3 TTFN kids!

Happy Atarashii Jahre

2009-01-02T04:35:00.003-05:00

2009 already! Pretty crazy. I've been working hard on commissions and trying to be entertaining sometimes to some people, so inbetween I've not had much time to sketch. But here's a few things I managed to scrounge up...

Rellik doodles compiled from a bunch of random things. I didn't like these when I drew them, so they were never released on here, but on second inspection I think they're pretty cool. Secondly a pic of Rel that's supercheese and I almost finished as a holiday pic.. but now the sketch just adorns my DeviantArt journal. And that's good enough. Lastly a portrait that I was just fiddling around with that ended up of some random vampire dude. Glowy eyes are yay~

Hope everyone's new years eve/day fiascos were entertaining! And now it's on to a new year, and I guess we'll see how it all goes! Cross your fingers...

happy birthday to meeeee~

2008-12-16T02:39:00.002-05:00

Just another redo pic for your viewing pleasures. This is one that was actually a pretty darn good pic for 2006- especially Ayant's anatomy (left), but my terrible coloring KILLED it. So I tried to correct that a little. This week I was dying with my art, but I think it finally came back today. So that is good. I really do have to learn, though, that taking a break really is part of the work process and is necessary to avoid burnout. I'm an old man now! <3

need to stop staying up until 6am w

2008-12-11T02:21:00.004-05:00

It's time for another episode of (see: first time ever)... Del paints over her own old art! YAAAAY. I dunno, just a middle of the night weirdness. Above are two pictures from 2007. Below.. is me having fun painting over them and trying to make them even a little less sucky. yeeeeey (and there was much rejoicing.)

well the weather outside is frightful

2008-12-06T18:03:00.002-05:00

Hey guyz :D remember me?!? Hahahahaha. Here's some stuff- sorry, I've been superbusy! If you didn't see, I put up my 40 pages of Law of Talos round 3 a little bit ago- which had been taking up my time for about 45 days straight. Ewww. So that's why I haven't been showing my little face around here. Now I'm working on commissions and christmas presents and stuff, so you'll see that stuff soon enough. On to the pictures!

First off, here's a sketch of a picture I posted of me & Rel on dA. I like the sketch- it came out just how I wanted the first time, which is amazing xD and never happens. The second is just a sketch of Rel being angries and such, which is usual. The last is a throwback to circa 2002, a holiday picture that once adorned my main page, sporting some DELVE-ites! Yess~ Hopefully I'll have more sketches for you guys soon! Until then, shop carefully D:

America, MAKE IT DO

2008-11-04T19:03:00.003-05:00

Durt-durt-durrrr~ Yeah I said I'd upload these Halloween failed pics.. but I just got around to doing it :3;; ehehehhh! But yeah! There's here now..!! Left to right we've got, Pandora Rel & Diallo hangin' out (this is badly drawn, as it was in the throes of being angry at myself not being able to draw anything good), then another failed one of the three trick-or-treating (gilgamesh in the bg), and then a third failed image of Rel being all.. vampirey. nstuff. yeup.

*sits on edge of seat waiting for poll results* *w* c'mooon amuurrikaaaa~

Elfs are very upsetting~

2008-10-24T17:05:00.004-04:00

ARARARR. Sorry guys, I have, like, nothing for you at all. Apologies across the board! I'm hoping I'll be able to finish a Halloween pic for ya'll. Also, after seeing the doctor I'm supposed to be taking it easy on my arm.. or something. So here's some crap from a few weeks ago for you!

Another set of DELVE chibis, just the elves this time! They're all guys (yeah, they're girly). Then there's just Tshaude & Avaene- Avaene being kinda a creepshow (ha-HA), and then lastly young Zankou. This is all I has!!!!

I was never good at coming up with titles..

2008-10-17T14:22:00.004-04:00

Just some more random sketchcrap! Yep.

Here we've got some kinda.. emo... random emotional draw-types stuff. I don't know what it is, it just is xD Then there's Isos & his hottie albino wife, who both might need a lil redesign if I'm ever to work on DELVE as a comic. Last but not least, a Mihaynye scan that somehow dropped off the last set of scans I posted. Yep eeeyep! Glad you guys liked the Rellik doodles!

My favorite angsty vampire

2008-10-15T04:24:00.002-04:00

Awright. Yeah, I know, been posting every two days.. shhh.. it will not last, I promise. Here's some Rellik stuff! The first image is a doodle I made while pondering Rel's backstory to myself. It's kind of a fun comparison, Rellik to Chase, his human counterpart. He's been through so much- but regardless of how different they look, the images do have the same facial features. I traced them. Secondly, the requested Rellik Dream image! That was a very cool dream. And eegadz, that picture is from 2005. Glad to know it had staying power!! And then lastly I decided to dip back even further, and show ya'll a Rellik CG that I did back in 2002. I drew all those chains... I shudder to remember it.

That is all! I may be slow on posts now- because not only do I have my commissions, but now Law of Talos round 2 to contend with. Ahh yes~ back to the grindstone.

DELVE doodlings

2008-10-13T01:23:00.002-04:00

See? I said I had more scans... and yes, I know I'm overdoing it, but, once I get busybusier again I'll slow down with the posts. Hahahaha. I'm just not good about spreading stuff out over time.. when I have stuff to post, I post!!

Here's some DELVE sketches from my book. The first of which, for having done in pen, is really what I want DELVE to look like. Man, if I could make the chars look like that all the time..! I'd be set. So yes. The first is Chial backlit by Malothian, the second being Malothian and his cronies, and the third having portraits of Zhuer and Mathias, respectively.

More to come later, and Odrobinka, I will definitely post up that Rellik dream pic for you next update! And thanks Nicky, for all your nice comments :3 you're too much a sweetie!

Shiver me Timbers

2008-10-11T04:43:00.003-04:00

Huuu, just for you, sketchblog viewers, I got on my parents' old computer and wrastled with the likes of the old old scanner there to bring you (gasp) actual for realz sketches. Yes. Sorry for the low quality, both due to scanner (sorry, Dad) and the fact that the spiral binding on my sketchbook does noting but fight the scan... These are some of the more finished-ish images from my most recent sketchbook, which only has a handful of pages left.

But yep. First off we've got a battle sister (yay Warhammer 40k!) done in some sharpie, Teshi my oldold website mascot done in just pen (as are many of my images.. I usually misplace my mechanical pencils, but I've got a huge box of pens on my desk), and last but not least, Powergirl. Yep.

Alas, Nicky, I could not find that zombie image that which you speak of.. but sadly I do recall it. It's in a sketchbook -somewhere-... if I find it I'll scan that too! But look forward to later in the week, since I've got a few more scans still. 'Till next time!!

Blast from 2007

2008-10-07T16:38:00.005-04:00

Nothing new, but these are my pics of my favorite sketch art from 2007! Now they will live here, on the new sketch journal. Mwahahhaeheheh. The first is (obviously) Cammy from Street Fighter done in PaintChat, then Rellik reclining, and Tain getting bit by a werewolf. Sadly I can remember all these quite easily... Huh.

On another topic entirely, I invite (and urge) you all to go check out Dark Welkin, an awesome webcomic by Nicky, an extremely talented SCAD Grad (trust me, she rules.) If you don't pay attention to me now, there's always a link to the left, and, through the magics of widgets, you can even see when she updates o_o ooOOOoooo. But, seriously. Go read it. :D

HAPPY TUESDAY.

Of random random doodles

2008-10-06T03:02:00.003-04:00

Okaaaay. Here's some more art! This is.. horrifically random art. A whole page of random doodles, including Rellik, Yen & Lex, and some made up people. An entire page of random Nian-doodles, and last but not least the four DELVE dragon gods in chibi form. I've been wanting to draw all of the DELVE cast in chibi form.. but I know it'd take for-ehh-verrr.

On another note, I'd like to invite anyone who has previously watched my sketchblog to let me know if there's any image they can particularly recall that they have liked. I will be glad to post any, since I have them all on my computer, but the old blog itself is shot, SHOT I tell you! And for those of you who are new.. well.. Hi thar. I will attempt to post 3-4 times a month if the world and everything else allows it! So here's to the new blog.. *sips some orange juice*

New beginnings are still sketchy.

2008-10-05T23:20:00.003-04:00

Phew. Awright. Gonna try to get this crazy little machine off its feet! This is the first real post, and the last of the test posts. But I'm still figuring it all out. We shall see, indeed~ The sketches are just Nian & Lobo hanging, and then Tain being all in the rain with Garbage lyrics. Going to attempt to label posts, so you/me can more easily find the characters we're lookin for. Oh yes. That is all!!
