Adelie Teens

hilarity of adelie penguins molting is unlimited. although I can't help but find adelie penguins funny in general and I feel guilty sometimes. It's their little penguin body language.

動物

Uh.. I don't have a favourite animal. But I really enjoy native wildlife and maintain that badgers never get enough love. So here's a badger with a cup of cocoa.

stone in a well.

The  other day I found an unofficial English copy of Murakami Haruki's Pinball 1973. This is a quick sketch of my impressions of the first fourteen pages. It's very Early Murakami. All the hallmarks such as casual dips into the surreal, animal-centered mini-missions, mysterious knowing nameless female characters and a sense of quiet futility.

Speedpainting

Some speedpainting I did yesterday. The characters in the top picture are Niamh's lovely pirate couple. They're a lot of fun to draw.
COLOUR ♡♡♡♡♡

Idle Hands

Hahahahaha;;;; Niamh told me to draw Kazuya x Lee from Tekken fanart. She even provided inspirational fic. I couldn't read that but look - I did the CUTEST FANART anyway. Idek.

I feel bad for posting rough stuff on my blog but I said I'd post this too. My first awful attempts at Lee and Kazuya. The fish says it all. This is why I resorted to stupid when I drew the pink picture. I couldn't think of any interesting composition of them that wasn't glaring or looking like they were about to face off. You can just play the games for that :/

LIIIIIIING. My old Tekken favourite. (Forget Jin already girl, it'll never happen.) I ended up drawing her when I realised how much I can't draw super built men.

And then in life:

Roughneck Niamh wants to fight!

My blog badly needs a redesign but instead I've opted to draw a picture of Niamh as a cueball/roughneck pokemon trainer because that's what her sprite is registered as in my pokegear.
I drew this on a pizza menu for a giggle but it amused me more than it should have so I drew it again.

Ratties

Happy May Day everyone. Hope you had a good day. This was mine more or less.

Here comes the sun.

Newsprint parade

 

I scanned a bunch of pages from my sketchbooks for my portfolio this week. Here's a few plus a Yanappu/Pansage. Happy Pokemon Week.

Guilty sketch dump

Started trying to watch Peep Show in order. I think it's really a show you need to watch with someone or it can be kind of painful. Ah well. I drew this with Sakura fineliners - those pens that people use to ~ink their beautiful manga drawrerings~. I feel like there's a floaty-haired, long-lashed shojo manga goddess crying somewhere.
Next some sketches that I was mucking around with in Photoshop instead of doing film work :C

 

 Oh I remember why I started distracting myself: OH MY GOD NEIGHBOURS MAKE YOUR BABY STOP CRYING WHAT ARE YOU DOING FFFFFFFF.

damn

Please bear with us: film production set back one week due to some problems with animation and continuity. Thank you for your patience.

My drawing style has started to change again which messed up some scenes because I didn't notice until I ran them side by side. So I'm having to alter some and completely reanimate other scenes now (+ adding some things to bridge awkward transitions). Sigh. The drawings in my sketchbook at the end of the day are the images released frustration of having to draw the old way which has the weird sensation of taking a step back in time. Ew.

Boarding

Some colour boards from my film project. In no particular order.

Here's another drawing that's about as interesting as a bowl of fruit.

On the objectification of gay men in manga for female readers.

Quick doodle. I hope this comes up for every moron that types 'yaoi' into google image search.

Le printemps

Been working at this solidly for two hours. I think this is what it's meant to look like but I'm not sure anymore. It's for print in black and white magazine; something I was conscious of when I was designing it since I rarely work in black and white. This was interesting.

My friend is old now.

Boring

 Image for a thing with Inklude. The theme as you can see was 'boring'.
I drew this because this kind of dinner makes me want to cry tears of pure boredom.

Nothing

This is something I did quick because I am busy with college. It's an old idea and I've used this girl-with-hair-that-metamorphoses-into-sheep before. Oh well.

Steady on

I was in Tesco just after Christmas and was horrified to see they had already cleared their wall of Christmas confectionery in favour of, not Valentine's gifts as you might think but: Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies. WAT. It's (was at that point) FOUR MONTHS AWAY D:

I just wanted to share that fact. Having drawn this quickly as a sort of experiment seemed like a good opportunity to mention it.

Layouting

Hello. It's been nearly a month since I posted here. That's terrible. All I have to offer for the time being is this layout I was working on.

I almost like it. Which makes it my favourite bit of my film project so far.

X-2:R

Happy Birthday Niamh!
I was going to draw all three Final Fantasy X-2 girls but I ran out of time ;; So here's just Rikku. I'll try to get them done eventually...

Oldies.

 Hello. Mid-break. Haven't been drawing anything. I have been doing a bit of tidying up of my folders though and I found these two drawings which I ended up not using for anything. They were meant for the Yanmama project I was doing last year. That's right, happy 2011. It'll be lovely, don't worry.
