Rabumbumbum, commissions!

And tada, I finished my Revolutionary Girl Utena commission. I know nothing about the show, but hey, here ya go.

On an unrelated note; my printer completely butchered these colours. My CRT, which has been matched up to my printer output, is much nicer. The green's are much darker, as are the purples. That.. green, on my CRT, is a very dark dark dark navy blue. As is her jacket--- I think my LCD might be massively over exaggerating everything...

Today has been an adventure in computers!! I upgraded to windows seven last night, and my computer patiently waited until Sarah's dad left before throwing in the towel and telling me everything went wrong.

I've been on remote assistance since this morning as Sarah's dad tried to restore my profile. And he has! And I am back.

Come next week he has more he wants to do to my computer, but this is alright for now.

I'm kinda sleepy.

Squish Loves

Bet you're getting tired of seeing these, aren't you?

It's a shame I'm not tired of making them yet.

This is a special request I made for Sarah. I don't think I've ever been straight up asked to draw something for someone before, or at least not seriously. Usually trades, ATC's, all that jazz, so this felt special to me and I wanted to make sure I did a good job.

I wish I was as on the ball with my commission. Tomorrow, tomorrow.

On a side note, I should never be given free reign to draw a curvy lady. I go nuts.

Sue and Chase both belong to Sarah, and are characters in her comic the Awakened. If you haven't read it, she's recently rebooted everything and started from scratch, and it's a really cool read. Don't worry, the first few pages involving Chase are nightmare fluid. You're not supposed to understand.

I've always loved Sue, since I first saw her. She's colourful, comfortable, fun, and often reminds me of me. Up until the reboot, all of her stat's matched mine too. Sue's awesome fun to draw because of all of her curves and colours; right up my alley.

Chase, I don't draw as much. It doesn't help that I enjoy spending my spare time tormenting him, and the fact that he's anorexic and skinny as a bean pole. I have issues with skinny people. Even my own. I just can't draw them properly. Thunder thighs, all around!

I tried to stick to mostly repetitive patterns for Chase, and I refrained from giving him vibrant blue arm warmers. All the various shades of gray were bothering me about as much as Irwin's bandaging was, but I managed. Chase, you so drab. Spice up your life! Wear a green hat or something. No? No? No funky accessories? Okay, I'll give you one of those later.

For now, I'll make you wear emo pants! This is what happens when I design costumes without looking at references. He normally wears ratty tatty baggy pants. Not emo pants. Oh well. And I doubt he'd wear the shoes I gave him, but you know what, I like those kinds of shoes. With some proper rubber soles on them. I like converse too.. I don't know what I was thinking.

For Sue, because she's Sue, I picked whatever loose pattern I had on hand. I really like how she turned out! She is wearing; the lime green boots I desperately want from Target that won't ship to Canada, the purple skirt I constantly regret not buying from old Navy, and a yellow sweater that I own but is much to small for me.

SUE, I AM SO ENVIOUS OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

Darnit.

Think I might change the texture I used on the skin tones... they sort of look diseased.

This was a lot of fun to work on, and it was a great way to start the break. My left hand is a little sore, but hey, at least my right hand is functioning properly again. That's all that matters, yeah?

Eventually I'll stop drawing heart bubbles and calling them backgrounds. I promise. I couldn't really think of anything else that would have been relevant to what I was drawing.

Without further ado, here you go Sarah, I hope you like it.

Part FOUR: How to Do It Without Wanting to Stab Yourself with a Pencil.

Yaaay! I didn't bother putting texture on this one, because I really put it together specifically for Chelsea, to show her the easier, more organic way I did these things. I did the majority of it with a mouse, because I'm still avoiding using my hand which is still not... totally feeling too hot! Perhaps if I stopped typing so much, it might make life easier.

That being said, you can find part four of my step by step thing here, and then jump to Part 3 for the texture tutorial. I don't really consider myself a master at anything or a very good teacher, but hopefully this will help out those few people who were curious as to what I was doing!

I've left this one as just the lineless shapes, because I think I want to play with some other options other than textures. I'm just not sure yet. I'll think about it while I'm at work, and get some idea's when I get home.

I also totally didn't draw on any folds or shadows, but that was my own short coming. Oh well!

Characters are my very own Sherlock and a slightly older, more mature Ninja. With boobs. Also, even though you can't see the line work that went into it, I thank Stacy for inking Ninja for me, because I was too lazy to do so myself. She did good! And I covered up over it all.

Today in character design class, we were all supposed to draw each other as children. I didn't participate, because of my wrist, but Enzo drew me as a child and sent me well wishes in return.

It was the sweetest drawing and the sweetest sentiment, I realized I was very much going to miss my teachers when I move into second year.

Today, is officially the start of break week. Tomorrow, Sarah's brother Andrew is coming over, and on Sunday I'm going to get my hair trimmed. Then on monday I start my full time job and have to be at the school for 7:30 in the morning. Harsh.

And between all of that, I have character design, painting, layout and story boarding homework! Seriously, is there no rest?

Animation, I refuse to accept you will eat up my entire life. I will sleep well, and socialize well over my break. Even with my job.

Money money money.

Some Step-by-Steps with Many Steps.

I couldn't draw today, and I was sent home from life drawing because my wrist was hurting me. I thought, "Oh, I'll work on that picture of Ainmire and Kara!" Totally forgetting that would involve... drawing.

So instead! I decided to break out that blasted pen tool again, and use my mouse to click together the piece. I also decided to take lots of screen shots, because my friend Victoria, and my friend Neilizza were curious as to how I made them.

For those people, and anyone else curious, I give you part one, part two, and part three.

It is a very agonizingly slow process. I have a better process that can be applied to a traditionally drawn and inked picture, but here's the process I went through to make them the pen tool way.

Bythe way, I totally don't know why I took half the pictures I took. I use photoshop hotkeys a lot, so most of my directions are in hotkeys. I don't mind clarifying up some points if anyone is confused, but I'm not going to go into a lecture on how to use photoshop. I'm way too tired to do that. Ever.

Did I ever mention how terribly I missed Ainmire? He's been missing for a while, and it was great to get the chance to draw him again. He's ambidextrous now, because I cannot settle on which hand Ainmire holds his sword in. He favours his left though.

I think it's time for some dinner.

COLLAAAAAAAAAAGE

I'm having way too much fun putting these things together.

However, in light of all my recent experiments, I'm getting better at producing these- next time I'm going to try an actual environment instead of some cobbled together bit of nonsense.

Tilted table is tilted.

Also, there are about twenty chess pieces missing, at least. Please ignore, I'm lazy.

Irwin is Sarah's character, not mine. I'm just currently exploiting her creations for my experiments.

He also gave me one hell of a time because I can't depend on lines to say he's wrapped in lots and lots of bandage! I attempted to differentiate with colour. I got so very very very confused when I was removing the lines.

Verden, though is mine! And he's my baby. And I hug him tightly and love him to death.

Okay, so I actually drew this one with GRAPHITE, so I could erase the lines and scan it in as a black and white drawing. I had much success. I also got graphite all over my hands and paper. I have to stop that. Anyways, colouring in the lines took me a lifetime and a half, and I find this hilarious because I was never overly fond of coloured lines, yet here I am, working my butt off to colour every individual line to remove them from my drawing. Awesome.

It is still much more engaging than the pen tool!

Wee!! I think I am very hungry.

Why do I ignore food when I'm in the zone?

Annie

It's An Important Question.

After having success in the experiment I started last night, I wanted to try again, but this time I wanted something that felt more organic.

I wasn't happy that I spent five hours clicking and pulling points around with my mouse; I felt incredibly uninvolved with the piece, even if I really liked the effect I got at the end of those five hours.

So I tried to figure out how I could use one of my inked line arts, but to get the same cut out effect.

Five hours later.

I was having a hard time, my lines were fuzzy and not registering very well so I was having a difficult time colouring them. I can't tell you how insane it was driving me. Sarah normally scans her line arts in as black and white, which gets rid of a lot of the fuzz that happens when you scan things in colour. I thought this might solve some of my problems- but I'm prone to drawing with a red pencil. The creates a lot of noise when scanned in black and white.

So I took an eraser and scrubbed at my drawing like hell to lift off as much red as I could before I tried to scan it in black and white.

I got much cleaner lines! I could easily bucket in the colours and select the lines and erase them.

It's not as clean as my first experiment, but I did enjoy this drawing a lot more instead of thinking "I HATE the pen tool" or "this is extremely boring".

So I think this was a pretty successful attempt, and I might play around with it more in the future- because I am fond of the collage appearance of things.

10:24

Annie

A New Experiment!

I will quite possibly never do anything like this again. Playing with the pen tool is the BIGGEST pain in my rear. No life. just run around clicking, clicking, clicking.

I recently bought a book called "Ramayana - Divine Loophole" by Sanjay Patel, and I spent last night lurking lots of very flat, very graphic galleries, and I wanted to try my hand at it. I love when collage is used to create a picture, and I thought if I used textures properly, I could probably get a collage like effect.

And I did.

It is not my cup of tea.

That being said, here is Tinette, learning a valuable lesson that crushing someone's spirit is not the best way to get things done.

Instead it gets you booted way back in time where you will more than likely freeze to death and die unless you can get Garrett to figure out how to take you BACK.

I'm sure she has much less abusive lessons planned for the future.

Tinette and Garrett are.. interesting, to say the least. I really don't know why he's nice to her- though he is nice to everybody. I tried to fill out a character profile for her, and there's really nothing positive about Tinette anywhere in there.

Yet, everyone I know loves Tinette.

For future reference, she hates all of you.

YAY EXPERIMENTING!

I must get back to my homework now.

This took roughly five hours.

For you curious people, I was working on top of this, and trying to build from the bottom up.

Textures from Cloaks.

So Many Beautiful Drawings!!

Haha, I have so many pictures to post today, I don't know where to start! I usually try to keep on top of things, but I've been doing awful lately.

I've landed myself in a class where the instant someone get's bored it turns into "Do an art trade with me!" So I've been drawing and sketching and handing things out like mad and getting plenty of drawings in return!

It's fun.

It's also an exercise in drawing characters and people I don't know very well, which is great for commission work. Speaking of commissions, I gotta finish those anime girls...

Anyways! First up, some Tina. I'm also trying very hard to convince people to draw Tinette with their characters, but as it turns out all of my friends fear Tinette's wrath and wouldn't wish her unholy rage on any of their characters.

Oh come on, she get's along fine with Fray!

Psht, pussies.

I like seeing Tinette drawn by others! And besides, the only person she's ever actively beaten on was Lucas, and that has something to do with the fact that he shot her with a flintlock rifle. I'd beat on him too.

This particular drawing of Tina was drawn by Neilizza, a couple of days ago.

Next up, my baby Yukio, drawn by Stacy! Yukio doesn't get a lot of love. He's rather stupid and doesn't understand just about everything, but he's a sweetie at heart. If you can reach that heart.

He's changed a lot since his initial invention years ago- but his design is still very similar.

I just learned how to explain it better.

Kara get's some loving! Some loving not directly related to a particular cockney accented red-head or a kilt sportin' sexy man.

Just general fan love.

Kara get's appreciated because she isn't a skinny little twig; but I apparently gave Amanda a difficult time because Kara is an "in-betweener". She's not too skinny, or too fat, but is what normal people are supposed to look like.

Score!

I like Kara for that reason.

She's round and squishy and soft.

What's this? Some more straight up Kara.

Dalton drew this picture for me; he's got a really good, very cartoon network style, and I was thrilled he came over to join in all of our art trade fun!

Unfortunately I can't link to his blog or gallery, because I'm not sure where to find it. Tear.

Dalton's been working at drawing all of us in his style since last semester. I got the chance to lurk his sketchbook today, and we had a Star Trek vs Star Wars debate.

He actually doesn't like TNG-

HOW TOTALLY HEARTBREAKING!

I love TNG...

Whoops, I totally forgot to whiten the paper on this one-

Sarah drew this for me yesterday to celebrate Valentines. I came out of my shower and walked right past it and didn't notice till I sat down at my desk- and I found it hilarious.

They really don't make any sense, but somehow or another, angry plus angry equals harmony.

Or maybe just some really loud sex, I don't want to know.

The point is, they're 'getting along' and I really don't want to upset that balance because HEY, Tinette has a BOYFRIEND again, what is this nonsense?!

It's confusing. I'll leave it at that.

I love Leah's art. I suggested an art trade with her a little while ago, because even though I had portfolio's I was storing art in that people had given me, I only had two pictures from Leah. One was a disturbing pin up Suka, while the other was Tinette, inside of a spiral bound sketchbook.

She agreed, and I got the chance to draw GG. When I drew GG, I didn't have any reference, so I had to make it all up from my head- so when Leah was drawing Tinette, even though I offered her reference she refused, wanting to draw Tina from her head like I'd done for GG.

Tinette looks gorgeous and sexy; just sayin'.

These are some doodles from Chelsea's sketchbook! It's Suka, in purple, Sherry, and Sarah's character Asher.

Chelsea always loves my sweet and innocent characters, and then get's all heartbroken and upset when she realizes I plan to end their lives.

It's alright Chelsea, it's not too late for me to change my mind. Who knows, I just might.

The question is, would I be being crueler or no?

Dun dun dun.


And a final picture to close the day, something drawn by me, as my art blog needs a post from me- this is just a doodle I made after trying and struggling to draw an under weight Suka for the better part of lecture.

I am awful at drawing skinny people, yet my main character has an anxiety disorder and doesn't eat enough because she can't keep food down if she's feeling any kind of negative emotion, and she worries a lot.

I'm so smart.

Apparently I annoy my classmates because I draw myself too fat and always exaggerate my weight.

Man, I finally thought I'd gotten to the point where I could draw myself fairly.

Oh well. Going to finish this one up with some super fast colours so I can upload it as my new deviant ID. I probably shouldn't scream in Suka's face- I might give her a heart attack and she'll die.

Thank you everybody for all the beautiful artwork, I really appreciate it all!!!

Happy Valentines!!

Everyone's hating on Valentines big this year, so I felt the need to step up and defend it.

I don't really do anything on Valentines; I wake up, I go about my day, I go to bed. Today while in class, I decided I wanted to design a Valentines day card. Hater's gonna hate, but I figured I'd try to be positive about another Monday!

I couldn't figure out what I wanted to draw. Initially, I wanted to draw myself hugging my significant- and then I remembered I didn't have a boyfriend. Hm, that posed complications. I could pick a fictional character, but my favourite characters aren't much ones to provide amusement if I was to tackle them and hug them tightly.

After that, I supposed I could hug one of my characters! After all, I have a couple characters who would be very unhappy to be hugged- mostly being Ainmire and Sherry. Sherlock is horribly bashful around girls, so I decided to use him! And then I realized that no, I couldn't terrify the poor boy enough, and decided to make it funnier by including Chelsea. Chelsea loves Sherlock very much, despite the fact that it's similar to having a crush on my little brother. Ew.

I thought I should step in and try to spare poor Sherry- and that's where this came from. Bad Chelsea! No jail bait for you!

After I turned around and made a Valentines card that was directed to one of my friends, I decided to keep going.

The next person I wanted to make a card for was Sarah, where I ran through a couple options over the course of five seconds. I already drew a Valentines picture last month that summarized two of the more hilarious relationships I could have drawn for a card, so I considered something cute. My brain instantly filtered out Sue and Chase, as well as Suka and Chase, and my head went *click* when I realized I could draw Laurent and Ninja.

After all, Valentines is a celebration of love of all kinds; Not necessarily romantic love.

Plus this held more true to the picture I wanted to draw initially, though in my initial planning stages, Ninja was supposed to be wrapped tightly around Laurent, and Laurent was supposed to be trying very hard to pull her off. Until I realized he probably wouldn't want to touch her.

It turned into this!

Happy Valentines, SAD, half-price chocolate eve, or just happy Monday!

Step Away from the Curtains

Man, I hate painting curtains. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself, but it's always near curtains.

I finished painting Tina on my CRT and I uploaded her to deviantart- and it was at that point I realized Tinette was horrifically purple. The colours aren't as painful on my CRT, which is matched up to whatever comes out of my printer, so that's alright, I guess, but I was hoping to make some sort of happy balance; too bad I didn't save the PSD at a point where I'd painted the background.

None the less, I had a lot of fun drawing this.

I realized Kara and Tina are off by one inch and five pounds; so I guess in essence, they're the same BMI.

Actually, I just ran a calculation and they have the EXACT SAME BMI. Oops. Tinette just gets more in her boobs and hips, while Kara's a little more evenly balanced. I imagine Tinette is heavier than I give her credit for; she's probably pushing the realm of 180 or 190; she is a dancer after all, they have some wicked toning going on to add to all them hippage.


I had a real run at the colours- I couldn't decide which to use. I personally find Tinette suits red better- but the green colour scheme appealed to me in the first place (hence why there are so many versions of it) and it seemed that everyone I showed it to love the green- though Leah said red was a sexy colour, but wasn't digging the purple.

Ah well, I was trying to steer clear of the reds because this wasn't an outfit Tinette chose for herself; it just so happened that Garrett magically changed her outfit without her realizing it. I tried pastels first, to try the whole fae colour scheme of soft and gentle looking- but nothing suits Tinette worse than pastels. Gross.

Here she is! With her glass of fine wine and a lovely outfit and apparently floating in mid air because I didn't bother to draw her back leg. Tinette will snap your fingers. Or ignore you. Depending on what you do to provoke her.

I've been working on her race in the back of my head, even though I won't be delving into it at all in my story. I've decided demons are a very cultural race; everything follows strict rules and traditional ceremony. There are cultural greetings specific to who they are, and there are stories and folklore that they build their lives out of. Tinette is of the younger generation who reject this- but that's mostly because she got betrayed and shot and hates everything about her people. She still pays her respects to the god and the goddess- but in a very casual way.

Leafy Leaf Leafs!!

Oh look, it's Kara!

And oh lookit how pretty she is!

Durhur.

I don't know what I want to say.

Again, Kara's like.. my standout to the fact that I think a girl doesn't have to be stick thin to be beautiful. Instead to be proud and confident in who you are!

Kara Naidu
21
5'6"
165lbs
Kara's kindhearted to a fault; she's incredibly loyal and head over heels in love with Ainmire.

This is for a series of GoM profile images. Hooray!!

And I thought about it. I considered it. And no, she doesn't look pregnant.

Vampires and Hips

I spent a lot of today drawing.

And crying.

Curse you, painting.

Seriously, I don't understand what drive there is to get any better when my marks don't improve when I do.

To the right! Dr Verden, my vampire doctor. He's somewhere over three thousand years old- but he lost count a long time ago. He had a last name once, but he can't remember it. He had a wife and children, but he can't remember them. He's forgotten what most emotions feel like, but over the millenia he's still maintained a shred of good humour.

Basically, in order to spare his sanity, Verden writes everything down in his journals; every minute detail of every day, fleshed out with drawings and sketches and tucked away on a shelf in his study. He can never completely forget, because all it takes to bring back his memories is to read the appropriate journal entry- but Verden hasn't opened himself up to that in years. He thinks it's better to let the past remain preserved between the pages of his journals instead of clouding up his mind at present.

I have a massive crush on Verden; but it took a long time before I could get his design down. Every time I thought of him I kept picturing him with a cane- he already had bad eyesight, but the image of a cane and a bad hip kept coming to me every time I tried to visualize him.

So I caved and gave him the bad hip. He's virtually a reincarnation of an older character of mine named Viktor- an eight hundred something year old chap who fell in love with a girl from another world. Verden's less creepy. Also, he's a doctor! He's sweet and makes me happy.


Kara! Still working on Fray's GF in GoM. Though technically she's together and tight with Ainmire, this is for a story.

I've also been working on her design for lord knows how long. She's supposed to be soft, but I was never quite getting that from her- I think I kept trying to make her too thin. Too athletic.

So, today, I went with the "rounder is better!" Mantra- and I think I got her. Kara's not thin- but she takes good care of her body, and she's beautiful. I think heavier people should be proud of their beauty; I certainly think it's lovely.

I kept running into the problem that I was shaping her too much like Tina, I suppose. Tinette is very sharp; she's got big hips and big boobs, but a narrow waist and a flat stomach. She's also got very sharp features- a small nose, angular eyes and a pointed chin. Kara's the opposite; Big thighs, big hips, lots of squish, and she's got a large nose, round eyes and rounded features. They're so opposite it's hilarious...

Anyways, I plan to ink this and colour it for GoM. I also have to draw Tina and Suka.


I did another impromptu art trade with Neilizza and this time I got to draw her GLORIOUSLY HIPPY captain character. I have no idea what her name is. But it was fun!

I got Verden in exchange!

Luffers the vampire.

Rush Rush Rush!

Okay so it's kinda late, and I'm kinda tired, and I really should go to bed before I have to wake up at nine for class. I finished my homework!! Yaaay!! So this is my layout assignment-- and I just realized that I'm again posting my homework, despite the fact that I don't normally post school work. Le sigh.

This one however is a work in progress for myself; that I intend to paint and render completely, so I don't mind sharing.

I like my layout class! I always wind up drawing something I actually like, even though this particular assignment has like, no layout in it at all. To the right I have the various layers I used to put this assignment together, moving from back to front.

I added some colour to the furthest back layer, just to add some visual interest and so I wouldn't have a blank BG layer. When I finish painting it, she'll be back lit from behind and it will be epic.

The snakes gave me a run for my money, I almost put them all on separate layers until I realized that wouldn't make much sense, due to the overlapping pattern of the snakes. Instead they have to be on the same layer as Zephira- else it wouldn't work.

Oh yeah, I named Sherry's mother, could you tell? She's Zephira.

I also named his sisters; Melantho (Mel, for short) and Admete, which I can't pronounce. Sherlock's name seems so out of place now...

I wanted to play with these series of pictures to give the wrong impression, haha! I think I did okay. In a series you'd think it was a boy being attacked by a snake, but zoom out and OH NO, it's Sherlock, being attacked by his terrifying full gorgon mother, Zephira!

Damn you Zephira, you bitch.

I think it is time I went to bed for the night.

Yay!

Too Much TV

I really wish I'd had cable way back when and was interested in Star Trek when it was popular. I feel so tragically out of date.

I recently finished watching TNG, and I'm so very sad that I have to move on to Voyager. I've been meaning to draw Star Trek art for a while, but for the time being, this is the closest I'll get.

I thought about t really hard, but I'd never get into Star Fleet Academy to begin with. I picked the blue uniform, figuring if I was anywhere other than art, I could see myself being a nurse. Well no, not seriously, because I don't think I could handle the pressure or the pain of being with people who are sick or in pain- But I mean I think I could learn it. So! Even though I'd love the idea of being an engineer, Science always escaped me, I'll have to settle for medical. Or maybe even command *scratches chin*. Nah, no one listens to me.

Today was another rough day-- I played in the snow for a couple of hours with Winona, Leah and Neilizza, and it was a lot of fun, but I came home, and Swazzle was struggling. I curled up with her and sat with her for a while. Offered her an apple, some cheese and a half eaten potato.

Less than an hour later, Swazzle had a heart attack in Sarah's hands and died.

I wasn't there to say goodbye- she was just.. gone. We were going to take her to the vet tomorrow to get put down because she was in pain- but this was sudden an unexpected and I'm broken. I feel like Elmer just died, and now I've had Swazzle taken from me. I haven't been much of a mom- I rescued her and bought her and then passed her off to Sarah to care for while I helped pay. I was the estranged parent who never visited enough, and I feel like a jerk for being so broken up when I didn't even treat her right.

Swazzle and Archie are both waiting for me on the other side- but I've got a long way to go before I catch up. I'm afraid to go to sleep again, I don't want to lay awake crying.

Bye baby <3 I loved you so much, even if I didn't show it enough.

Annie

Oh Look, It's Legible Now!

Sleepy. Think I'm going to go to bed now.

I got this idea last night while I was thinking about one of my characters. Sherlock is a sweetie who I've come to care a lot for, and every since I decided to use him in my layout assignment, he's been on my mind. I was thinking about his history, which I had to seriously think about for the first time- I always knew his mother was a gorgon, but as to HIS backstory, I was never sure.

I discovered last night that Sherry has two crazy sisters- both of them older than him, though not by much. He was born in a nest of three, and was lucky not to get killed within the first ten minutes of hatching.

I've never heard of a male gorgon in my research, though I know gorgons have mated with humans before (Though, I think Medusa was pregnant before she was cursed to be a gorgon-). I decided that gorgons are plenty now, a species more than specifically three sisters (two, after Medusa's death), and Sherry's mother had two girls, who took the gorgon blood of their mother, and one boy, who took the human blood of his father. He still has stone-eye abilities, and he has an extended life due to his lineage- but he looks perfectly human.

I have a lot more coming! If I work on them. Never really felt inspired to work on something like this; I wanted to see if I could tell a story without dialogue, as well as see how comfortably I can work within panels. Since my last attempt, I can work surprisingly well within panels, and found most of this very fun to do.

I'm still unhappy with a lot of it, it's not as dynamic or as dramatic or clear as I would have liked, but hey, it's an experiment, and it's for fun. It's on five 8.5x11 pieces of paper, and you can see the page number in the top left corner. Reads from left to right, up to down. Hooray!

Poor Sherry, his sisters are insane. They get more sentient (I'm just guessing that's the word I want) as time goes on, but they're still very cruel and violent, especially to their youngest and weakest sibling.

Poor Sherry baby!

A Doodly Day!

Don't be alarmed that you can't see this; it's only because I don't want you to.

I've had my fingers taped together into LLAP for the past two hours as I figure out doodles, and let me tell you, trying to type while my fingers are stuck as Spock is kinda hilarious and very time consuming.

I got this idea last night as I was trying to go to sleep, and I started it this morning in lecture. I wanted to see if I could tell a story without any dialogue- and I was doing pretty well until I stopped to scan everything.

I might keep going, I still have all the idea's buzzing around in my head, but I'm probably not going to finish. I never finish anything, haha.

Just some fun, some character exploration.
