Springish Round-Up

As I was posting the last one Saturday night/Sunday morning, I remembered these scans I still hadn't posted. So, yea, I never could decide about whether or not I should make a group posting of the older drawings of single posts with some backstory over what I did. Now enough time has passed that I can't even recall what those drawings were without looking at my scans folder, and to make it worse I've posted a few times since. So, just gotta toss them out there and move on.

Just wanted to draw someone puking.

This was caused by reading either an article or diatribe (I forget which now) about anthropomorphic animals pre-dating the current furry culture.

Started as a salaryman who didn't care as the world broke around him, became a man frozen in time invincible to the influces, then became a frozen-time frame. I should have written down my ideas in a quick checklist first so they all could be integrated.

Quicky doodle with pencil and a Tombo calligraphy pen because all my drawings at the time had no sense of motion. Ended up really liking this due to how it compared to everything else I drew that night.

Really like these masks, and didn't use a source image. I need to double-check my pencil work more before jumping to ink.

Friend of mine has been requesting a drunken leprechaun for a while. Forgetting what one looks like, I drew a drunken, homeless dwarf and had to be reminded about the extra buckles, red hair, and mutton chops. Good warm-up though.

There you have it. A handful of drawings I did on the side I did mean to post, but for various reasons didn't think they deserved their own posting or flat-out forgot to.

Who's Hungry?



Had a large blank file open (1200x1000 or 1500x1500, forget which) and was just messing around with Painter's pencil tools as usual. This giant tablet is a sketchpad that I occasionally use for coloring. Point being that this spawned from one of my several tiny doodles I had kicking around.

As for the drawing, I'm still hazy about pen tools when it comes to digital works. The hard edge is always too much for me no matter what I do, though I'd like to think I'm getting better at it, maybe I'm just getting used to it. Didn't have a clear intent when I started this, not even a colorset in mind. Also, despite my love of reds, I'm red/green colorblind and have no idea what this actually looks like... I hope it's somewhat close to how I'm perceiving it.
