Sketchbook doodles!
Something to keep you guys busy while I finish working on a commission.

It’s [this lady] again. I’ve started developing a pesky spirit that seems to stalk her around and possess the imagery she creates. It’s a benign enough pest for her to literally brush away, but it has a disturbing persistance. Maybe there’s a possible storyline here?

The guy below is a character who I was fooling around with around the same time I created the lady above. He doesn’t have a gift exactly, it’s more like plants seem to just really like him.

It’s almost been a good year since I’ve been to Sketchy’s and not for lack of wanting to, but simply being unable to go. It was nice to get out of the house and do some figure drawing with some lovely ladyage.

The messy squiggly drawing is a non-dominant hand drawing and the themes for the crazy costumed ones were “Nerf Gun” and “John Waters”  which just led to a very divine Divine. (I wont pretend like I dont enjoy making ladies fabulous)

My figure drawings are not shabby for having been a while.

A little doodle I did a few years ago that I still think is adorable. I was thinking of revisiting this… These kids are Mortar and Pestle, characters of mine who are street performers.

Super sketchy doodles done before bed last night. I’ve been thinking a lot about this character again. She’s had a lot of different appearances in my sketchbook (and is actually the same girl on my website)

This is actually the first time I’ve actually drawn “her” and not just visuals around her making illusions out of smoke and vapor. So it’s interesting that she came off more predatory and less like the aloof hero she had in my earlier sketches a few years ago.

I’ve had a few ideas but I think I’m starting to find a story for her. If nothing else, I’m 90% sure the bottom-most image is going to end up an illustration.

Contest designs for valentine’s sweets:

Happy holidays! But yup, going to jump right into Valentine’s day.
I did these doodles to wind down after a stressful day. I used Gaia’s contest as a prompt and somehow ended up with these. Lots of frills. Lots of big fills.

I really think designing (redesigning) clothing is really becoming a thing for me.

^ Chibi-usa, Helios, and the sailor Quartet [sailormoon]

This was actually just a doodle I was fooling around with back when I did that Haruka + Michiru fanart preview.

However due to the recent excitement and hype from the new series, I was considering actually working on this piece. Strangely enough I’m not fanatic about Sailormoon even though I loved it as a kid. It just happened to come up in our comic reading circle and somehow it hasn’t lost momentum yet! Its a tip of the hat to good memories.

[I wasn’t sure if I should redesign their outfits for fun or keep to the series. Opinions?]



PS: A random Usagi has appeared! This was also in my notebook.

I love going through sketchbooks from the year before and finding good ideas in passing. I’ll put this into colour sometime. It’s a design for a young queen’s outfit with long sleeves that work like a train. I feel like this would look awesome in traditional media…
