Hellgirl

I did another piece on keeping with a jam on the drawingboard. Considering I've never really even tried drawing hellboy, I don't wee why I'd feel like I could do up my own hellgirl. But what the fuck.

It occurs to me that as great as message boards are for exchanging ideas and inspiration, blogs should be at least as usefull in such respects. But I'm starting to wonder exactly how to get that kind of communication rolling. Lots of other artists use a blogsite, but a lot of them also seem to be connected and I'm not sure how to get in on that. I figure it's about time I started reaching out to other such fancy-pants drawing ilk as myself to get some networking going. At the very least I can get pointed to one or two not-entirely-shitty band's myspace pages for something to listen to while I work.

First post of 2007. And only 2 weeks in.

Well, this piece is moving slow too. Maybe I am too distracted when I work, and maybe I just need to get better at choosing subjects and layouts that can hold my interest for the necessary amount of time, but I'm getting bored with this one. I definitely should have thought up a background in the early stages. None the less, I'll take another stab at that later...

CROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

My new favorite character to draw. If Conan and Santa ever met, this is probably how it would end.

Just finished my christmas card. It was seriously looking like I wouldn't get to making one this year, but I managed to pull it off in less time than usual. I should do this simple stuff more often...

And, crapped in a background with a touch of colour...

Reading one member on the drawing board's thread, who's been pulling off a full layout sketch of good ole' Tomb Raider Lara Croft every day for the past week has been the best part of my morning, coming in to work. Except today, when he missed his first day since he started. He'd inspired me to do up a Larra cketch of my own. I'm debating whether or not to post it. Or ink it.
