Naked Tea Party

So, er.

Heartie Steggie

2011-02-12T13:04:00.000-08:00

I am bad at naming at the moment. Card I did for Ceri's Birthday/Valentinesiness.

28 Drawings Later

2011-02-08T04:44:00.000-08:00

In order to try and break my art block I joined 28 Drawings Later on Facebook.

I'm behind, but still going! I'm quite pleased with Babar, eyeballing or not it is inked and coloured, and that's more than I've done in SOME time. Starting to feel a little more hopeful :)

The lifedrawings were all done from http://www.pixelovely.com/tools/gesture.html which is so awesome!

Doodling whilst watching iPlayer. Who have I drawn? (I didn't cut her head off, that's the top of my sketchbook >_> )

Cats

2010-10-29T05:28:00.000-07:00

Cats!

Sofi

2010-10-18T02:59:00.000-07:00

Really don't want to keep working on this one. It's got numerous things wrong with it, so I think I'll just leave it as it is for the moment.

Don't really know what I'm doing any more.

Work from Dundee

2010-09-20T14:04:00.000-07:00

No there isn't much. I haven't done much. This 16 month Art block is slowly killing me. I don't know what to do. I can't just draw. I don't have anything to draw anymore, I've given up on all my stories, so I don't have those to do, or anything else :/

September's going by fast

2010-09-19T03:32:00.001-07:00

Portraits! Including Tara.

August

2010-08-16T16:32:00.001-07:00

For August, I have a selection of pencil sketches.

Picture I cannot properly capture on film?

2010-07-15T12:25:00.000-07:00

Face due to having to edit this in quite a bit photoshop to make it actually visable, naked lady too much for my webcam (scanner packed away now)

And now July

2010-07-13T13:21:00.000-07:00

Hokay, so here's a statue from an upcoming painting, which I'm both pretty pleased with and looking for fedback on, since it's a new and interesting subject for me.

As well as this we have Sofi and a freind (lol that's not supposed to be Tara, I know they look alike!), another work in progress, and another colour test of Marilon for the Gull.

So apparently I missed June

2010-07-01T07:15:00.000-07:00

Here's some Tara related bits and bobs;

And Doll-face in a tutu making toast (from '08, in Max's long lost sketchbook!);

June doodledump

2010-06-24T15:52:00.000-07:00

Nothing to say about this really, doodles since the last time I uploaded, and possibly a couple from before all squished together in to one image to save on huge paper small doodle boredom

Dragnz

2010-05-30T13:43:00.000-07:00

Been learning to draw dragons, yeah these are flipped. Drey, Rogat and Gyara. Above, Dahlia and Rogat (rather different from previous representation!)

Below; Zimmy and Gamma, Juno, and some lesbian wizards.

May!

2010-05-11T12:55:00.001-07:00

Okay, a doodle of Marilon from colour testing for the Silver Gull, Tara + Sofi, Sofi and a lady with a lot of pearls. Below, a small painting of England as seen from our back bedroom.

Sketchbook dump

2010-05-05T02:28:00.001-07:00

Tara fanart
Trying to do Ceri and myself as the Owl and the Pussycat

Me and loads of eyes and faces :/

Not happy with my output at all, but it's at least higher than it was. These are from maybe February until now.

Most I've done in ages

2010-04-29T03:23:00.001-07:00

(huge files still, maybe I should shrink them?)

Made some wallpapers for Ceri's weird desktop setup. I've done pretty much nothing lately, so this was nice.

I've also kinda realised that I've been in this crappy artblock for nearly a year now :/ Wowzers that's depressing!

March the second

2010-03-21T14:58:00.000-07:00

Here are some more doodles for March

Canvas party

2010-03-18T09:58:00.001-07:00

These are for sale. I think the second would make an interesting wallpaper!

Belated Valentine for you :)

2010-02-15T15:55:00.000-08:00

Plus uh... something I'm not really sure about.

Yeah not really going to be much, this is all I can find...

2010-02-12T01:28:00.000-08:00

Okay this too :)

Hurro 2010, nice to meet you

2010-01-11T13:08:00.001-08:00

Some flowers from a portrait I'm up to. Reference was used.

Below, studies of Jude and Sam.

Tonight Matthew,

2009-12-23T09:46:00.000-08:00

Firstly, here is a WIP.

Secondly, we have the usual sketches from work.

And finally, er... This is just silly.

Frank Mugs and stuff

2009-12-05T07:52:00.000-08:00

Decided to try out Zazzle, tell me what you think.

Plodding on.

2009-11-28T13:21:00.000-08:00

Here's some things for November.

With Style

2009-10-20T13:39:00.000-07:00

More profile images of Lizzi, Eirana and Rantath.

Rather liking this style, might stick with it.

Coming out of my four month Art Block it would appear! Got to make some christmas cards this week!

Adranarda

2009-10-14T12:32:00.000-07:00

Ew red compression D:

Main characters for Adranarda. This is the most I've done since finishing Uni. I'm working on a new style, because lacking one is annoying me. I also need to re-do the Eirana engineering one, the idea is good but the sketch is awkward.

Octobusy.

2009-10-07T13:37:00.000-07:00

Nonsense.

Pigpigpig

2009-09-23T05:32:00.000-07:00

Yeah this is the only thing I've done in ages really, besides working on a tattoo for kiri. :/

Just got my desktop computer back with scanning ability. Might have a couple of crappy sketches to show, not sure.

Septembre, Septembre

2009-09-23T04:20:00.000-07:00

Largely non-productive.
Tareen in a hammock, and Judith nodding off while watching Supernatural.

August in a call centre.

2009-08-25T13:40:00.000-07:00

What have we for you today, from the magical land of the call centre during slow hours?
1. Trist and Adrienne.
2 and 3. Esk.
4. Jones.
5. Studies of my left hand.

July July!

2009-07-30T02:33:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, I recently got a job in a call centre. I haven't had time to work on anything other than stuff for Jet. Here are some things I doodled at work this week.

Ah damn it's July

2009-07-01T04:42:00.000-07:00

Playing with ink and brush drawing Paisley and an old character of mine, Zen old pictures of whom you can see here am rather liking the new look, probably could do without the eye of horus though :/

Quick, while it's still June!

2009-06-30T11:52:00.001-07:00

What have we here?
1. Tareen, ahoy-hoy. 2. Ciel. 3. Louise and Almos. 4. Dance commander Spo and dubious doctor Mrsh. Yes, I am a nerd.

Jago, birds and other animals

2009-05-28T06:24:00.001-07:00

1: I made a bit of a mess of this so I may do some fixing and post, but also I may not (going by my track record). It was interesting, anyway. 2: Here we have one of those Things, with a slightly more refined design. 3: A pic I did when I was going to do an artbook, but I gave up on such delusions.

Things for May

2009-05-19T04:06:00.000-07:00

This is from when I had been working on a painting of a dog which used a lot of greys and browns, and directly afterwards I really felt the need to slosh some colours around. Below; I think I broke my brain trying to draw Alessi.

Things I'll probably never finish, volume 2

2009-05-07T14:22:00.000-07:00

You may have seen a couple of these. They are being worked on very gradually over the course of the past couple of years, and who knows, I might finish some of them within the next couple of years.

And here's some male characters from Ene, to prove there are some. We have Pryce, Forn, Jago, Tyron, Almos and Simon (who looks a bit like David Tennant). None of them are necessarily final names or designs.

April Times

2009-04-27T06:46:00.000-07:00

Hey there, how have you been this past month? I have been working on these characters, who may be recalled from a couple of earlier sketches. In the image above; Eustace, Ciel, Tareen, Araf and Maura.

Ratemydrawings fun and freinds

2009-04-02T15:46:00.000-07:00

I've been playing too!

And secondly; I found this in my sketchbook from about two months ago. It occurs to me that my freinds are rather an attractive bunch.

First drawing on RateMyDrawings.com

2009-03-21T15:28:00.000-07:00

They don't allow nudey drawings on this site :<.

I suppose we can just do them and screenshot though :3

Marching on!

2009-03-20T14:22:00.000-07:00

Things from the past three days. Finished of the above can be found on my site. Looking forward to the Thing next saturday!

Gunnerkrigg Court and Myface

2009-03-17T06:47:00.000-07:00

Webcam pictures for the first two, sorry for the quality!

Doodley ideas

Starting drawing

Sketchy self portrait

March ahoy

2009-03-16T08:45:00.000-07:00

What's going on? Oil painting again, that's what. Which means no pics, regretfully. But I will tell you that there's a cephalopod involved.

In the meantimes, here's some thingies I made for fun.

Dress-up

2009-03-07T07:18:00.001-08:00

This is something I've wanted to do for a while; dress up! It's fun, but it's also an interesting excersise in clothing planning. The image on the left is the dress from this picture. I hadn't thought before about how her dress actually worked under her bodice. I'll be adding a variety of clothes from Ene characters and a few unrelated items that match the theme.

WIP and thoughts about noses.

2009-02-21T13:38:00.001-08:00

There's still quite a lot of work to do structurally. This will be my first painting of Esk represented as something other than a button-nosed brit (like her freind there, a result of referencing myself a lot while learning), so I want to get it right. It was always something that bothered me that I wasn't able to depict ethnicity satisfactorily. As you may be able to tell, I am still having more difficulty painting her this way than I am the more familar form.
I'd appreciate feedback on this.

Speaking of myself;

February times

2009-02-08T02:56:00.000-08:00

"Mister Cephalopod cain't be distoibed. Sorry hun."

This is the only other idea I have had so far to go with the octopus and the sea monster. To be honest though, I wanted to keep with the bar theme rather than the mystery idea. I was in danger of getting a bit too Sharky and George.

This is a commission I wasn't paid for (so they never got the final file, ha ha) and a weird dream I had.

Traffic Light Elephants

2009-02-02T13:09:00.000-08:00

I wish I was doing better things than this.

I wish I could do things at least this good for uni.

I do not like my self art right now.

Freckles

2009-01-31T05:24:00.000-08:00

Did this this morning. Pretty much the only thing I've done in flipping ages that I've actually liked. :<

Decembertimes thingies

2008-12-13T07:13:00.000-08:00

Lines for new drawing. The colours didn't go so well, but I was pleased with the lines.

This picture was hanging around on my computer for literally years; just decided to repaint it in some kind of less shameful manner.

More November Bits

2008-11-30T12:15:00.000-08:00

Doll Face showing her feets.Pryce and Esk, possibly.

And finally, a work in progress. The lines for this have been in my scraps for years on DA. Originally it was part of a trade with Animebabeca but she fell off the face of the planet so I decided last week to do the picture myself.

LONG TIME NO ANYTHING...goddamn uni :< (Edit with working links now)

2008-11-26T12:38:00.000-08:00

Alien Girl, who is on hiatus because I don't have the time for her, sorry honey, soon you'll have more than just a face.

The following are all roughs for my Olio this year (The panels are repeated in a strange order, the ones on the second page are in the right place, the ones on the first that are the same are going to be different) :

November

2008-11-10T13:18:00.000-08:00

Here are some things for November.

This is a character concept.

This was originally supposed to be a picture of Comus House but I missed some major points so I guess it's just... a house now.

Train Drawings

2008-10-23T07:50:00.000-07:00

Stuff I did on the way back from Bath last week.

PLUS, bonus picture of Sophie, with flowers from cgtextures.com.

Proof that I have not dieded

2008-10-12T05:47:00.000-07:00

I am doing things. A bit. I mean, other than watching Star Trek and job hunting. Um. Well, sort of. I knitted some fingerless mittens this week. A pair for myself to match the scarf Max made me, and a pair for mum. Mittens knittens... kittens...

Anyway. I have learned today that the internet really is not the appropriate place for oil painting. There just does not seem to be a way of getting such things online and looking good.

These are 6x4cm. Making them was a lot of fun! Not sure why, really.

Lastly, I am most pleased with the Eskface in this doodle.

holy crap a post

2008-10-11T13:58:00.001-07:00

Holy bananas batman

I drew this in Turkey

Can't figure out her left side though

Naked Tea Party +

2008-09-10T22:38:00.000-07:00

Because they are the best kind.

Also, things to come;
And as promised, girls with headscarves;

HERE'S SOME

2008-08-20T03:41:00.000-07:00

This is based on a girl I saw in the station once. I think hijabs and headscarves look cool. I saw a girl with a lovely grey patterned one with beads on it the other day. And there was a very pretty lady with a twisty headscarf in the job centre. One day I will draw the girl wearing HUGE goth boots and a headscarf, she was awesome.

Ene things... about which I am always a little bit secretive, you know that.

OH NO, a redhead in goggles. I should totally sue Disney.

Experimentation

2008-08-06T15:37:00.001-07:00

Something I whipped up because I've not put anything here for a while

Not sure if I like it, my eyes hurt from staring at the screen

Bits and Bobs

2008-08-05T09:20:00.000-07:00

Sketches for this; http://kafine.deviantart.com/art/Three-Beginnings-93570290

This is becoming a Kath-fest blog :( This makes me sad.

Lol

2008-07-15T09:17:00.003-07:00

I feel dirty.

I just thought...

2008-06-16T13:06:00.000-07:00

That the blog needed more boobs.

Things I'll probably never finish: Volume 1

2008-06-04T04:21:00.000-07:00

Sucks really, I was very pleased with her corset. But the rocks and foliage just became so tedious I abandoned it in despair. Hello, by the way.

Doodlies

2008-06-03T09:38:00.000-07:00

Some doodles I've been doing in Painter (I don't know how to use painter really)

2008-04-02T09:04:00.000-07:00

Coming soon
