we discuss soy milk and wristwatches a lot (true story)

this is a utilikilted gentleman
depicted in shock and horror and glee because it felt right

this is a distinguished equine

Inkscape frustrations

Posted by on October 18, 2009

kee I just bet you’ve wondered what inkscape testing/trying/failing looks like

well it looks like this, at the lower half of the third document i doodle in while desperately trying to find out how to disable the goddamn node handle boxes at the end points of pencil tool paths

don’t you wish i ever drew anything with an actual purpose, i know i do ._.

Made for an acutely cranky Finn who likes to disagree to my view on icky icky spidurrrrs, whilst defrosting my dinner. Still haven’t solved my wacom/gimp problems… which may or may not be obvious

Holy cow

I’ve already doodled oodles for Cataclysm because I am one of those people (with glasses, who play games)

(oh no)

But ok so anyway I uploaded this just to spam forum with it because everyone is obsessed with the news of tauren paladins and I just have a fever and it’s been ages since I even played Super Monkey Ball and I was crap at it when I did

(Is freehand doodle like everything I do, might upload more if I decide I have the energy to obsessively and slobberingly GAME for more than 3 mins at a time again)

Plagued watercolours

Posted by on August 4, 2009

Ok ok I’ve been away and I’ve had the PLAGUE and I have been doodling 100% freehand with felt tip pens, because evidently I am allergic to sketching and doing stuff in any kind of decent manner. Also I bought a new set of watercolours and promptly put it to waste on non-watercolour-proof moleskine pages;

no context!

sitting next to someone with severe sheep-phobia!

oh good god i don’t know what i’m doing!

watching The Mighty Boosh!

I heart webcomics

Posted by on July 10, 2009

Good webcomics are good, I’m gonna try to get better at doing the whole recommendation thing – in the past month I have loved the following:

AchewoodYou know I got to have special lamps
Pictures for sad childrenThat is my fetish
Nedroid Picture DiaryZing!

The list is short but the Achewood archive is delicious, deliciously huge oh OH did I make a funny, did I make a skanky funny

Avatars

My avatars, let me show you them

I made these over a year ago, I think, scribbled in Painter or something similar, because I needed to be prepared for every forum I came across, or something like that. I never ever used the happy one, but I like to think it’s just because I drew it badly and it looks retarded. I hope it’s not because unbridled happiness is retarded.

I hope so fiercely. I also hope it won’t be too long before I can be bothered to make a new set because they’re fun to make and also I get to be self-absorbed.

Hairday

Posted by on June 29, 2009

Oh ok I’ll stick this one here too, freehand calligraphy tool in inkscape, I direly need to figure out how to get it to produce sexy smooth lines instead of this gravelly charcoal-y thing (also god why is it so hard to find a proper colour selector in this thing I don’t want to be limited to swatches sheesh)

I would’ve added highlights and shadows to the hair bits, as is my custom, but uh I got bored

Experimental Cosby

Posted by on June 23, 2009

I made me a nekkid Cosby because of it being one of them experimental schticks.

Have been trying to sketch useful stuff but it all comes out as halfassed achewood-wannabeism. (Because achewood, you should know, is the best thing in the known universe.)

I like drawing cartoony wangs, was that not obvious

EDIT: My Cosby was rejected due to being too inappropriate. This is my greatest achievement on the internet.

Yell-o, Yahtzee!

Posted by on June 14, 2009

So I moved house and decided spilling paint everywhere was what I needed to do RIGHT AWAY, currently in progress:

Oh and done! Also just realised I have inadvertedly just created Yahtzee-fanart, not on purpose – but I suppose there are worse things to be an accidentally outspoken fan of.
