At the first anime convention I ever attended (and it should have been my last, really) I bought a new sketch book and this was page one. (Made it into a crappy wallpaper, too.) This image is over seven years old. It makes me feel old. It makes me remember friends I had that were less than stellar and only slightly fun to talk to…sort of how it’s fun to hang out with a room full of toddlers with duplo bricks and washable markers until one of them shits their pants. It was at the anime convention that I realized that the majority of anime fans are underage idiots that shop at Hot Topic or creepy adult males there to see scantly-clad underage girls. Skilled cosplay is impressive at conventions, and there was some really impressive cosplay, but it was rare. The majority of the people “in character” wore half-assed t-shirt conversions or just too-many-zippers store-bought crap. This was before hot topic started carrying naruto shit, too. Also there was this guy running the art auction at the end that would get mad any time someone pronounced manga as anything other than “mahn gah” (yes, that is how it should be pronounced, but we are not in Japan and the term has long been Americanized UNKNOT YOUR PANTIES PLEASE).
Character drawing for an NPC in a short-lived D&D game. Tiny gorgon with tiny snakes on her head, and she was black and yellow. She was a fighter class, and one of the three NPCs I made available for hire for the party (though they never got around to hiring anyone, the people I expected to quit did so in the middle of the dungeon instead of before it). I had a nice little town any everything made up for this game, and the majority of the players left before they could learn anything. It’s a little disheartening to put so much effort into setup only to have people bail. That’s what I get for playing online, I guess.
I don’t really know what to say about this right now. It’s sort of a robo-angel Schroe that never made it past the sketching stage. Doodled with a ball-point pen and a pencil.
Also, I woke up with an awesome song in my head. Here are some of the lyrics (since its the chorus that keeps going over and over in my head).
All my life I’ve been over the top
I don’t know what I’m doing,
All I know is I don’t wanna stop
All fired up, I’m gonna go till I drop
You’re either in or in the way, don’t make me,
I don’t wanna stop
A long time ago in a city about 150 miles away from where I am now, I drew crappy pictures and thought I was cool for having prismacolor markers. Also a time when stupidly large anime eyes were cool. Or something.
In December of 2005, I worked at a grocery store part time. The late shifts with few customers allowed me time to doodle like crazy, and one of the doodles happened to be of my WoW hunter’s pet, Aeroplane the flying snake. (The hunter’s name was Schoolbus and was in the Beep Beep guild.)
My media choices were limited to receipt tape and ball-point pens, which created the image on the left. Since I wasn’t attending school at all at this time, I had a lot of free time during the day to mess with doodles. The result is on the right. It was originally posted on the Cork Board with instructions on how I made it and tips on stuff, but the majority of the people reading my site at the time didn’t understand photoshop at all beyond putting funny pictures together. There’s also not really much there to talk about. Click the images for larger versions.
Agent Smith Stamp — Done for an Illustrator class. We had two weeks. I took two hours. 14 May 2003.
The above is the original description whenever it was I posted it last somewhere. The instructor wanted us to trace in illustrator some pop culture icon, and most people did some campy deals that took them forever because basic computer skills were beyond them.
I saw a How-To by Propmedic/Juego/Yoink/Wossname on how he made his bonesaw. First thought: AWESOME. Second thought: I want one. Third thought: I want mine a little thinner and a little longer.
So I made an outline.
20″ bonesaw from handle to tip. I cut one piece from some black mounting board using this pattern. Then I painted the blade part with some liquid silver I had leftover from another project.
Second comic with a proper timestamp for its creation. Backdated to the original date it was uploaded. LET’S SEE HOW LONG THIS COMEBACK LASTED!
Pencil doodle includes Happy Bob.
First comic with a proper timestamp for its creation. Backdated to the original date I attempted to bring Corkies back.
GIS (Google Image Search) again.
I had this one planned for a while, but I never got around to drawing it. The content may or may not be humorous now, depending on your understanding of the situation.
Allow me to assist. The Sim in the red shirt represents my math teacher who looks surprisingly similar, both in face and dress. The female Sim he is speaking to is supposed to be me, even though I look nothing like that, and would never be caught dead in that color of sweater.
This is an actual conversation, wherein he was attempting to show the other students how easy it is to break down a number into its prime factors.
