Unknown amount of time in Photoshop CS6 and Sketchbook Pro.

Since I now have my new laptop, I had to upgrade, errr, everything. So I’ll be switching to CS6 and the new Creative Cloud after a long bout of number crunching and waffling. (The numbers say that the full master collection plus one upgrade, thus two years, costs over that of five years of Creative Cloud at the current price and one year of the cloud is almost identical to the cost of an upgrade.) So yeah. I’m currently poking at a webcomic idea and trying to figure out how this whole hosting thing works. These are some of the characters from it. The two singled out so far are Isaiah and Emily.

I’m so sorry for your dashes but I realized that I hadn’t scanned and uploaded the large majority of my sketchbook! Whoops! Anyways, this is the large majority of what I’ve done. There’s maybe ten pages of stuff I’ve scanned already and twenty or so blank left in this book. So yeah, I absolutely realize this is massive and I honestly have no idea how it’s going to upload so… Yeah. Sorry for any repeats. Now to shower and head to my LCS for Free Comic Book Day!

Varying amounts of time in Photoshop.

I figured I should upload some of the things I’ve poked at recently so here you go. The (backburnered) portrait to a song that may or may not exist. (Or you could buy Patrick Stump’s Soul Punk and keep listening after “Run Dry” ends…) Some process on a sketch of Belit from the current Conan the Barbarian. Becky Cloonan might be my biggest art inspiration ever, let me tell you. A very random cephalopodic mermaid doodle. A little something done to “Bottom of the River” by Delta Rae. I promise I’m not dead and there’s stuff posted to my instagram fairly often. So go check that out too!

Patrick Stump, Run Dry (X Heart X Fingers)

Approx. 3 hours in Photoshop.

So here’s the finished print! I’m pretty happy with it and Patrick liked it (and recognized it!) so I’m feeling pretty fulfilled right now. The first six copies have gone to the band and I’ll have these up for sale somewhere soon. There will be posts here.

Buy it as a print here!

I’ve been doing a lot of sketches in ballpoint pen so… here’s the last week or so in doodles. I hope you enjoy. We have:

  • demon prince redesign from forever ago
  • a little… satyr thing…
  • archangel warrior
  • archangel rogue/thief
  • Fluttershy gijinka dancing to Patrick Stump’s “Spotlight” after a rainstorm (shut up, all of you)
  • a naked lady covered in tattoos?
  • fae warrior
  • fae thief/rogue
  • mage woman?
  • a squishy thing based on a Panic! At The Disco song from A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out (can’t remember which)
  • Dex-Starr
  • failed sketch start (don’t ask)
  • Lady Loki
  • Marceline/Princess Bubblegum
  • a dragon?
  • tiny Thor/Loki

Just… it’s better not to ask questions sometimes.

Sketch dump! All inspired by music, all rather obvious (or written somewhere close or both).

5-15 minutes each in Photoshop.

Trying to remember how to draw without pencil. Be back, going to look for my skills. All inspired by My Chemical Romance’s new song Na Na Na, by the way. In case you were wondering.

An absurdly long time off and on in Sketchbook Pro.

This was yesterday’s masterpiece! David Kennedy of Angels & Airwaves as a Scout from TF2. He’s a bit tall to be a Scout really but I think he could manage the job. Anyways, this is a gift for my buddy Elena, because she wasn’t around when I started and I’m evil. If you haven’t listened to AvA, you should. Space muzsak is pretty great (also, LOVE is kind of one of my favorite albums to play straight through and just fall into and the movie’s soon and this band is everything I want to be when I grow up sometimes). If you haven’t played Team Fortress 2… What are you even waiting for?! Go play! Rather, go play on Steam so I can be the failiest Medic on your team ever.

Ummm, happy birthday, Andy? It’s supposed to be you and Madi as, respectively, a Green and Blue Lantern. I don’t know, the idea seemed cute at the time when someone suggested drawing you as a Green Lantern (I also considered a Black Lantern but, ummm, you’d be dead). So yes, I’ll have it (and other stuff to make up for how terrible this is) at the TDT show.

I tried things (odd face angle and ink wash) that really did not work at all with this and I’m not in the least bit happy with how it came out. I swear I can’t win when it comes to this man’s birthday art…

Sketchbook Pro in about 1-1.5 hours.

A doodle for Ashley’s birthday. Everyone loves Butch Walker a la Pretty Melody. Especially with cake. One more for Andy Hurley’s birthday tomorrow. I got a plan and it’s cute, shhh…
