where have all the good sketches gone?

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

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!!!

Finally, some more art!

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

It's the 5am CRAZIES got me

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*

and my triumphant return.. kinda

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

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 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...

need to stop staying up until 6am *w*

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

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

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~

My favorite angsty vampire

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.

Blast from 2007

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

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*
