Dungeon MASTAH!

I missed being a Dungeon Master for a group of awesome nerds. So as a reward for being a diligent individual and finishing up the 11 second challenge last month I bought myself the new core rulebooks and set about making up a new campaign for my fellow ultranerds. And my favorite part about Being a game master is that I get LOADS of fodder for illustration. So here's a few recent things. I'm playing around with some speed painting brushes for giggles here too.

Animation! Whee!

Long time no post, eh? Yeah... well I have an excellent excuse! This month I took all my spare time and entered the 11 Second Challenge. So I've been drawing a lot... but sequentially! So technically this counts as a couple hundred drawings.

Here's my entry. Also a drawing I did of the magician character and what might be approaching the final design of the boy which I have been agonizing over for a while now

May doodles.

No finished stuff, just marker sketches and @ work flash doodles.

Weekly stuff

been SUPER busy with some non-drawing-related projects lately folks so there's slim pickins lately. And Bus drawing season is ending with the onset of nice weather.

Not really happy with the "poison soup" Murderered drawing. I tried something new with it... more of a staged scene rather than a centred drawing with no real context. Will try this approach again later but I've already done two versions of this premise and I'm not really happy with either. This is the better one. Headless on the other hand I'm really rather fond of!

CINTIQ

The CINTIQ is here! The CINTIQ is here! Hurray! It's big and lovely and heavy and intimidating! And only the Medium drawing is done with it! The rest are work/bus doodles. That old man is not my favorite drawing in the world but that's more or less what he looked like and he was just about the cutest old man I've ever seen. The way his skin wrinkled around his eyes made him look like he had little sunshine eyelashes. ADORABLE.

Elvira and Mummies!

I love Elvira. She's my favorite. My favorite what? My favorite EVERYTHING. Been trying to cartoon her for years now. This is probably the closest I've gotten to something I like. And like I said... MORE FEZ!

Sun! Warmth!

Despite my deep appreciation for gloom (and my fondness for the word "gloom") I have got ants in the pants for summer to start. SO here is my first outdoor drawing of the year in celebration of it not being too rainy to have a sketchbook outside!
