Sketches & Doodles

list/kalinrun.jpg - 27 May, 04
Quite awhile since I've drawn anything, but whatever. Kalin, running, because I wanted to practice motion. Not a great sketch, but in that respect it's decent.

list/islanaback.jpg - 27 May, 04
Islana, looking over her shoulder. Not a great sketch, but my only goal was the looking over her shoulder portion; so again, in that respect, it's decent.

list/gunsoutline.jpg - 27 May, 04
Outline of Guns crouching. I like it.

list/blinkyankees.jpg - 27 May, 04
AU Newsies fanart, based on a very, very long fic. I can't draw hands, still. Not a great picture, but I like it, kind of.

list/blinksketch.jpg - 27 May, 04
Same guy, different situation. I used Robert Plant for a model, because hey, pretty flamboyant lead singers... (Blink is a bit of a Yankees fan. Can you tell?)

list/eydwblink.jpg - 27 May, 04
More AU Newsies fan art based on a very, very long fic. No hands in sight, this time. Good planning on my part.(Yes. He's wearing girl's clothing on purpose.)

list/blink.jpg - 27 May, 04
Non-AU Newsies fan art, again Blink. Because he's my favorite. I did it without a reference, so his hair is too long; otherwise it's pretty good. I actually really like it.

list/gsketch.jpg - 1 Feb, 04
Guns in action type sketch, which I'm quite pleassed with, really. (Enough so that there's a colored version.)

list/slackerdutchy.jpg - 14 Oct, 03
A teeny notes doodle of Newsies fan art. This would be an AU Dutchy. His hair is too long, but the picture is too small to tell, really.

list/glorysit.jpg - 14 Oct, 03
Gloria Otylia, drawn in my advertising notes. Sans glasses. Cute little doodle, nothing more.

list/glorystrut.jpg - 14 Oct, 03
Gloria again, strutting and sexified. Also without her glasses. Her legs are a bit wonky, though.

list/gunsdraw.jpg - 14 Oct, 03
Hmm, well, I wanted to draw something with action and from a different angle that my usual straight forward blah. So this was the result. There was, originally, a bottom, but it sucked so I erased it. I like what remains a lot.

list/glorylyrics.jpg - 14 Oct, 03
Eh, nothing impressive. I was concentrating mostly on the arms, and they turned out better than the rest of the picture, so that makes sense.

list/gunsrun.jpg - 14 Oct, 03
Guns Ablasin, running from something. One of my first attempts at drawing someone in motion; far from correct, but surprisingly not hideous to look at. Go me.

list/random.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
She's a cowgirl pirate... chick. I really don't know. I was bored in politics; what do you want from me?

list/gunspose.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
I had a really clear imagee in mind of what I wanted, and this wasn't quite it. It's not awful, but not great; her arms and shoulders are definitely a little wonky. But could be worse.

list/gunspose2.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
My second attempt to capture the image I had in my head, it went bad halfway through so I changed the post almost entirely and came out with something I like much more. Her arm is too long, but she's almost got a facial expression. Go me!

list/gunsaction1.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
My first attempt at drawing someone in action. It causes physical pain, so beware.

list/gunsaction2.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
My second attempt at drawing someone in action, and it's MUCH better, one of my better sketches to date. I didn't know how to draw her back hand at all so that's kind of... Not really there, but the rest of it turned out far better than I expected.

list/gloriabag.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
Ehhh, mediocre picture of Gloria holding a purse.

list/gloriasit.jpg - 4 Oct, 03
Gloria sitting. She has no glasses and huuuuuuuge hands. Bleh.

list/gunsboring.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
Guns Ablasin just sort of standing there. Really, just a model for her outfit.

list/gunslook1.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
Guns looking away from her target, probably gossiping with someone over her shoulder.

list/gunslook2.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
Another atempt at a similar, looking away from her target picture; it didn't turn out nearly as well.

list/gunsstance.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
Guns posing, ready for... Something... I don't know.

list/gunswalk.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
I tried to draw Guns walking, and it turned out like this. Unfortunately.

list/glorywave.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
Gloria looking pretty cute and waving to someone. Her legs are shorter and cubbier than usual, but I think it works okay. I like her face more than her body here.

list/gloryboring.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
A very boring and very ugly shot of Gloria, done mostly just to get her costume down. Yeah, blahhhhh.

list/gloryglasses.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
Gloria, fiddling with her glasses. Her hand is very messed up, but otherwise I think the picture turned out pretty well. I like her figure and the way she's standing in this, though her arms are both a little wonky. And she let her hair down!

list/islananotes.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
A rather shitty attempt to draw Islana, because I hadn't in so long.

list/arantslender.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
The requisite notes doodle of Arant. He's very... Slender.

list/arantkneel.jpg - 24 Sept, 03
And again, but this time much better. Arant kneeling with his giant sword o'doom.

list/sitting.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
A pipe body with no detail, sitting at a desk. Copied from the way someone in my Anth class was sitting. Bored. Yeah, the class had that affect on people...

list/glorynotes1.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
I think this was the first time I drew Gloria in my notes. She's a bit puffier than usual here, both in terms of body and clothing. I was experimenting with her hair, hence the mini-buns instead of the usual single chop-stick bun. Again, based on someone in class. But not really.

list/glorynotes2.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
Just a face shot of Gloria, playing with her hair still.

list/glorynotes3.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
And I think this is the first real time I tried to draw Glory as Glory and not Gloria. Hence the straight hair; much closer to when she's Guns than when she's Gloria. (That is, Gloria = civilian identity; Glory = long forgetten member of the nobility and back up identity; Guns = super villain who's secretly the antihero)

list/imagehoodie.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
I think this picture was the first one I did all semester and what inspired me to actually try and draw and improve for the semester; I liked the way it worked out. It's nothing special, though, just Image wearing a hoodie.

list/kaiyaslender.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
I hadn't drawn Kaiya in months and was trying to remember her outfit. I think I got it, though it's not perfect... Very simple sketch, but I like it anyway.

list/llama.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
Polly was one of my oldest characters, and originally she didn't look like this. But I started to doodle her, and she's not a 14 year old anymore, really. So I drew her a bit older and with a new outfit. I like this a lot. (Note: it says 'llama' and not 'wama', the l's just got a bit too sideways...)

list/teznotes1.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
I tried to draw Tesla (Tez - Guns's partner) in my notes. It didn't work very well.

list/teznotes2.jpg - 18 Sept, 03
Not only did I try to draw Tez, but I tried to draw him sitting. Yeah, again, it didn't work out so well.

list/aridoodles.jpg - 17 May, 03
Random doodles of Sociaria. I have no idea why I scanned them, really.

list/gloria.jpg - 27 May, 03
The first ever picture of Gloria in civvy clothes, which would later change because I forgot what they were. Ahhh, ugly 80s sweatshirt and sweatpants... I don't know why I wanted her to have such bad fashion sense, but it fits. If you note, the off the shoulder sweatshirt totally stayed.

list/rod.jpg - 23 May, 03
Rodney, Tesla's original roommate from the Guns origin story. Well. Not "origin" story so much, since it doesn't explain where she's from, but from the introduction story. Which someday, when I've figured out the plot of the rest of her story, I'll write. But yeah. Rod.

list/gsuniform.jpg - 23 May, 03
A GS man, the henchvillaiins from Guns's story.

list/gunsablasin.jpg - 21 May, 03
Her name is Guns Ablasin, and I have no idea where she came from or what she's doing. I can't draw guns, so she has... ray guns. From the future. Yeah. And I like that her trench coat has short sleeves.

list/gunswithgun.jpg - 21 May, 03
Guns in action. I'm bad with action shots, so this isn't too terrible, considering.

list/gunsnocoat.jpg - 21 May, 03
Guns without her trench coat. Her head is too small, otherwise the proportions aren't so bad. Heh, she's got go-go boots.

list/preguns.jpg - 21 May, 03
I did this before the Guns pictures and liked bits of it, which I then stole and incorporated into Guns's outfit. I like the pose.

list/cuteimage.jpg - 21 May, 03
Image, the first time I've drawn her in quite awhile. I like this a lot, actually; I think the proportions are mostly good, and really like the way her legs turned out.

list/arantmuscles.jpg - 20 May, 03
Trying to work on male proportions and muscles. Clearly, I need a lot more practice. (It occurs to me I always draw Arant for that, poor guy. Maybe I should pick on someone else for a change... Naaaaah.)

list/backsketch.jpg - 20 May, 03
I wanted to try and draw someone from the back, and wanted to do a semi-background. The combination kind of makes her look like she's about to step through the looking glass or something. This isn't great, but not all that wretchd.

list/smurf.jpg - 20 May, 03
Smurf, from a fanfic I'm working on. Not a lot to say about this one.

list/gravityhair.jpg - 20 May, 03
Good shoulders, face and arms. I cut off before ruining it at the feet. And I've got no clue why her hair does that, but it amuses me greatly.

list/maybe.jpg - 20 May, 03
I had an idea for a picture and did this. I stopped when it had little to do with the idea. It's not all that bad, it's just not what I wanted, so I never finished it.

list/arantsketch.jpg - 15 April, 03
The first sketch of Arant I'd done in awhile; nothing particulary exciting. Fairly mediocre actually, but done to try and learn proportions.

list/caroline.jpg - spring 03
An OC from a fanfic I was writing. Very very loosely drawn, obviously. Her name is Caroline; she's shy. That's about it.

list/notesbody1.jpg - spring 03
The first of a series I did in my notes, trying to get body proportions and movement and things.

list/notesbody2.jpg - spring 03
Number two. This one became Arant, somehow.

list/notesbody3.jpg - spring 03
Number three, AKA the bad one.

list/notesbody4.jpg - spring 03
Number four. She turned out cute, though I have no clue who she is.

list/notesbody5.jpg - spring 03
Number five, which became Aran Sevens blowing something up. Very Sailor Mercury pose. Alas.

list/elsie1.jpg - spring 03
Elsie, another OC from a fanfic, though I never actually wrote this one. Which was for the best, as she was pretty lame. Alas. Not a great picture, either.

list/elsie2.jpg - spring 03
Elsie again, better this time. Her hat is wrong, though, but I let that slide because I can't draw hats at all. It's a decent faceshot, I guess.

list/blink.jpg - spring 03
Fanart? I guess. Notes doodles, me half attempting to draw Blink from Newsies. But it doesn't look like him at all, so shhh, that's a secret.

list/blinkslashy.jpg
More of the same, but this time semi-Blink being slashy with semi-Mush. Aren't they cute? Not my versions, but the real ("real") versions...

list/cowboy.jpg - spring 03
More Newsies-ish-ness. Jack, but not really, as that's a girl. Wearing a boyscouts uniform. Which is why I don't do more fanart.

list/meditation.jpg - spring 03
Another notes doodle; adult (but not old) Kalin, meditating. He's missing the wrong hand. Otherwise, okay, I guess.

list/islan.jpg - spring 03
Islan, archangel of freedom. He's a cutie, too, but not very imposing, for an archangel. (Also a notes doodle.)

list/gettingit.jpg - 26 December, 02
Rock Sattva, from Karma Slave. Not a great picture, but decent action, I guess, and I like his face and hair. And I like Def Leppard, hence the lyrics.

list/pipebody1.jpg - 8 October, 02
Doodles in my politics notes; I wanted to work on just people's basic forms. I wish I'd done more of these, but lost all my inspiration at some point during the semester. Oh, and stopped bringing pencils to class.

list/pipebody2.jpg - 8 October, 02
Ditto above, though I'm more proud of this one, since it was something I was picturing, not just copying my professor's standing.

list/dead.jpg - 8 October, 02
More basically form stuff, though this isn't as good and it's specific to Dean, who was going to be the main character of my nanonovel, until I killed it and used a different idea. The one on the right lis also based on my professor's stance.

list/daevanface.jpg - 8 October, 02
Very small, and sadly probably the best picture of Daevan I've done. Sigh.

list/kaiycrouched.jpg - 29 September, 02
I was in a really lousy mood when I drew this. It's pretty rough, but not too bad, actually, which is good. Because I was mostly really depressed because I was convinced my artwork was all terrible and I couldn't ever do anything decent.

list/badguys.jpg - 28 July, 02
Daevan, with Mercy and Kain behind him, and the shadowy eyes of his eeeevil father. Kain is approximately okay, and the eyes are sort of okay too, but Daevan and Mercy suck hardcore.

list/corysketch.jpg - 18 July, 02
A sketch of Cordyn, the dancer from Seven's Story, which I've recently begun rewriting. I like the anatomy here, except for her arms, which are far too long. But her body is pretty.

list/ratha.jpg - 13 July, 02
Ratha character design, one of the minor characters from the comic.

list/mythan.jpg - 13 July, 02
Sketch of Mythan in full costume from the comic.

list/panelone.jpg - 6 July, 02
Practice for the comic.

list/panelone2.jpg - 6 July, 02
Same deal.

list/kissy.jpg - 6 July, 02
More comic practice. This is terrible.

list/toosexy.jpg - 24 June, 02
Ilyan Kelanister sketch. Utter crap.

list/breensitting.jpg - 24 June, 02
More playing around with Breena. It's not really what she looks like, but I like her dress.

list/arantbuff.jpg - 24 June, 02
I was reading tutorials about how to draw gusy, and drew Arant so he actually looks male. This isn't great, but I like it anyway.

list/arantinfo.jpg - 18 June, 02
A crappy sketch of Arant with character information. Preperation for the comic, of course.

list/arantsheet.jpg - 18 June, 02
Arant's character sheet.

list/kaiyainfo.jpg - 18 June, 02
Kaiya's design from the beginning of the comic.

list/blehdaev.jpg - 18 June, 02
Character design for Daevan. I like the body, but the face is all wrong. Not Daevan at all...

list/daevansheet.jpg - 18 June, 02
Daevan charactersheet. It's sad that these look more like him than the larger one above.

list/mercy.jpg - 18 June, 02
Mercy's character design. It's.... Decent. Mostly.

list/myrcasheet.jpg - 18 June, 02
Mercy's character sheet. I was very lazy by this point, so it's good that from the back, she's just hair and a cape.

list/kaininfo.jpg - 18 June, 02
Kain Erias, one of the other badguys from the comic.

list/anniversary.jpg - 13 June, 02
A sketch of my parents from their wedding album. I did it for their anniversary. I like it a lot; Dad looks a lot better than Mom does, which surprised me a lot.

list/realarant.jpg - 11 June, 02
I decided to finish a picture of what Arant looked like, full body/costume, and this was the sketch for it. I like it a lot, still, though I now generally attempt to give Arant, you know, muscles. list/kieris.jpg - 11 June, 02
Very sketchy Kieris Alayrin from the Saga.

list/kaiyasword.jpg - 11 June, 02
Kaiya, with Arant's giant broadsword. A decent but not great sketch.

list/crouch.jpg - 11 June, 02
Arant crouching. I like the upper body, but the legs are really funky.

list/cleanereric.jpg - 5 June, 02
Eric Donnely, cleaned up from an earlier version (below).

list/felix.jpg - 5 June, 02
Very sketchy Felix Ashkay from The Lads.

list/crucifiction.jpg - 5 June, 02
Cleran is Jesus, doncha' know.

list/spoiler.jpg - 4 June, 02
Saga spoiler, featuring young Jall, Kalin and Erra. One of the only group pictures I've drawn, the only one I like. list/eric.jpg - 4 June, 02
Random sketch of Eric from the Lads.

list/ouroborous.jpg - 31 May, 02
"Ouroboros Inc. Artificial Person." Um... I have no explanation, except Ouroboros was from Red Dwarf and there were ads for AI on every five seconds.

list/breena.jpg - 31 May, 02
Breena Mystarin. She rules. She's the Empress of Everything, you know... I was trying to play around with her costume and whatnot, and I really like the results.

list/archer.jpg - 30 May, 02
Archer goofing off. His costume is way wrong, because I'd forgotten what it is... Hm. Perhaps I should give Silver some luvin'.

list/archer2.jpg - 30 May, 02
Same deal.

list/karanew.jpg - 29 May, 02
Kara das'Abbyn, kicking ass. I really like this; I know it's not perfect, but it's one of my only ever attempts to draw a person, y'know, doing something. Oh, and the quote is from Dragonheart.

list/kaiyahebrew.jpg - 28 May, 02
Faceshot of Kaiya. Not great; not that bad. Good practice, I guess....

list/hands.jpg - 28 May, 02
Practice drawing hands, because I always sucked so very badly. It actually helped a bit, which was good.

list/lousy1.jpg - 28 May, 02 (one of three)
Gen from the Lads. I really like the way her face turned out; the rest is ok.

list/lousy2.jpg - 28 May, 02 (two of three)
Greta from the Lads. Nothing to brag about here, though I like her hairstyle. Um. And not just because I wear mine like that all the time...

list/lousy3.jpg - 28 May, 02 (three of three)
Jolene from the Lads. Completely unfinished, because I have a very short attention span.

list/cleran.jpg - 28 May, 02
Cleran! I really like this, actually. Though I tried to computer color it, and learned that while black-on-black may look sexy, it's a bitch and a half to actually color.

list/islana.jpg - 21 May, 02
Islana sketch, which I later finished up. I like the pose ok, but it isn't really anything great.

list/angel1.jpg - 7 May, 02 (one of four)
Slenna Malistar, Angel of Mercy, semi-SD'd. I think it's cute... I believe this was drawn in my American Studies notes.

list/angel2.jpg - 7 May, 02 (two of four)
Ilyan Kelanister, Angel of Sacrifice; same deal, but less cute.

list/angel3.jpg - 7 May, 02 (three of four)
Islan, Angel of Freedom. I haven't decided what he looks like yet, so this may not end up being at all accurate.

list/angel4.jpg - 7 May, 02 (four of four)
Kalin Malistar, Angel of Peace. Cuuuuuuuuute!

list/cutehair.jpg - 20 March, 02
Self-portrait, done as a means of procrastination, I believe. The lyrics are by Sloan, who I love... I like the way the body and hair on this turned out (hence the filename) though I'm not thrilled with the face.

list/aranthebrew.jpg - 19 March, 02
Arant dal'Rhybka, again from my American Studies notes. I like the pose here, and was playing around with his costume.

list/daydream.jpg - 12 March, 02
Cleran doodle in my notes, nothing special.

list/arant.jpg - 12 March, 02
My first real attempt to draw Arant and play around with his costume.

list/sundancer.jpg - 8 March, 02
You guessed it, Amercian Studies notes! I really liked the way this turned out, given it was just a random doodle.

list/helpme.jpg - 8 March, 02
Islana, a bit insane with lyrics and whatnot....

list/quin.jpg - 26 Feb, 02
Quin, from my Nanonovel. I like this, it's pretty much exactly how I pictured him.

list/angelkalin.jpg - 26 February, 02
I think this was my first ever attempt to draw Kalin as an angel. Not great, but good practice, I s'pose.

list/ilyansketch.jpg - 13 February, 02
Surprise, surprise; the sketch of the Ilyan picture. It's pretty good, I think. Possibly better than the finished version.

list/kaia.jpg - 13 February, 02
Probably the best sketch I've ever done, really. I see more flaws in it now than I did at the time (the arms, specifically) but I still think it's pretty damn good.

list/dance.jpg - 13 February, 02
Hopefully, you all recognize the picture at the left, though this is the full version. Islana and Cleran. Islana turned out really well; Cleran turned out badly.

haven/list/seven.jpg - 3 January, 02
One of the many versions of this picture I ended up doing. This one is inked but not colored.

list/kelanisters.jpg - 29 December, 01
Erra, Galiera and Ilyan. I like the way Ilyan turned out, but that's about it.

list/cleranlite.jpg - 4 December, 01
Very quick doodle of Cleran's face.

list/ilyanlines.jpg - 4 December, 01
A sketch in my International Relations notes; the first real picture of Ilyan. His costume here was later refined and became the official Angel costume for the Saga. I like this.

list/kawaiilyan.jpg - 4 December, 01
Um, sort of a chibi-fied Ilyan face... Thing. I don't know. It was also in my IR notes.

list/islanabraids.jpg - 4 December, 01
Very quick, pointless doodle of Islana, in my journalism notes. I like it all right...

list/arantface.jpg - 20 November, 01
Very quick doodle of Arant (the first one ever, I think) in my journalism notes.

list/kaiyaface.jpg - 20 November, 01
Bleh. Same page on my notes.

list/kaiyafull.jpg - 20 November, 01
Fair to middle awful... I was trying to work out Kaiya's costume. Obviously, it wouldn't have been all white; I was lazy and stopped when I realized that was very much not it.

list/pigtailgirl.jpg - 20 November, 01
I have no idea who this is, but she sure is perky....

list/imagesketch.jpg - 13 November
A doodle done in my journalism notes. I was trying to work on clothing wrinkles... I like this a lot.

list/autobio2.jpg - 13 November, 01
More work on clothing wrinkles, this time using myself as a model. I like the way said wrinkles turned out, though the face looks kind of awful. Lyrics by Sloan.

list/IRari.jpg - 10 November, 01
Just a random picture of Nic's character, Sociaria, drawn in my International Relations note.

list/tinyari.jpg - 10 November, 01
More of the same, though much cuter.

list/playboy1.jpg - 10 November, 01
Done from a model... Two characters from the story Leah and I were planning many months ago. It never went anywhere, though. Sadly.

list/playboy.jpg - 10 November, 01
Also done with a model, for the same story. Oz was everyone's romantic interest...

list/tomsketch.jpg - 10 November, 01
A sketch of Tom Bianchi, from the liner notes of his very amusing album.

list/pollysketches.jpg - 5 August, 01
Quick (and I mean really quick) sketches of Polly, from when I was debating doing a Wierdos comic.

list/itsysketches.jpg -5 August, 01
Same deal with Itsy, though these turned out a little better.

list/islanasketch.jpg - 5 August, 01
Islana kneeling. I like the way this turned out, actually, though the feet are weird.

list/king.jpg - 9 July, 01
Erra Kelanister, in his mid-sixties, as a bitter old man. Oh, and the King of Kalatsu. I like this, the pose turned out well. One of the few times I've ever drawn someone sitting, and one of the fewer times it didn't suck.

list/jarmee.jpg - 9 July, 01
Jarmee, blatantly ripped from Nic's early style. Sorry, Nic... The picture itself is ok, though.

list/itsy.jpg - 9 July, 01
Itsy snoozing. I like this, actually, another attempt at someone sitting and an actual chair. Heh.

list/imagespidergirl.jpg - 9 July, 01
The sketch of Image. Like the finished picture, it's pretty good, and I was really really happy with it at the time.

list/dancer2.jpg - 28 June, 01
I'm not sure who this was; it was my second attempt to draw her, and it was pretty bad. As you can see.

list/bad.jpg - ? June, 01
Apptly named, given the face, but I like the body and hair okay. Oh, and Image? Would never dress like that.

list/30days.jpg - ? May, 02
Very eary doodle of Image, when I was anxiously awaiting graduation.

list/summerari.jpg ? May, 02
Terrible fanart for Nic, of course. I like her swimsuit, though, even if it's terribly drawn.

list/dancer.jpg - 5 May, 01
Very light and hard to see, but I still think this is good, proportion wise. I remember being ecstatic about it at the time, as it was head and shoulders above most of my early attempts.

list/mikesketch2.jpg - 5 October, 00
Mike Ford of Moxy Fruvous fame. The picture is ok, and was copied off of a picture I took at Grapejam that summer.

list/journalchick.jpg - fall '00
I drew it on the cover of a journal for a highly evil class, and colored the hair when I was bored. The teacher liked it better than any of my writing. Bitch.

list/jiansketch.jpg - summer '00
Probably the first "good," thing I drew, though it's from later than the other undated stuff, I believe. I drew this from a picture I took at Grapejam, while pissed at my parents, I believe. Ahh, angst.

list/haven.jpg - summer '99
I'm not sure what this is doing here, actually. It's super old, even compared to the old stuff here, and is pretty much the only thing that isn't a person. Oh, and it sucks. Hardcore.
