Rift Profiles

 Okay so I finally got around to drawing these- I'd drawn a couple profiles for these two before, but I didn't design fun outfits for them so I never bothered to post them anywhere.

Anyways, Tinette to the left, all coloured up like a human, and Sherry to the right, also all coloured up like a human.

You know, since both of them aren't actually humans.

Anyways, I haven't painted anything in a while, so I threw these together super fast. I like Sherlock's flannel shirt. It was less annoying than the stripes on Tinette's stockings.

Passing the time with Sketches

 Because I've stopped spending my spare time lurking the internet, I have certainly been doing a lot more drawing, though I haven't really settled on any ideas I want to take to finish.

Today, I was doing sketches of Sherry and Ninja at different stages in their lives.

This is Sherlock and Ninja shortly after they first met; Ninja was eighteen and Sherry was- two. Ninja was still carrying around a lot of baggage, still blaming herself for the mistakes of her past, and she'd picked up a nasty habit of smoking and was even more reckless with her life than she ever had been previously. It's almost like she didn't care anymore.

This is the Ninja Sherlock fell and love with, and this is the Ninja Sherlock stuck to his entire life.

I also drew a companion picture of Ninja to go with the older picture I'd drawn of Sherlock. I'm not sure how old the two of them are in this picture, but I'm guessing Ninja is maybe a hundred and ten, a hundred and fifty? So Sherlock would be ninety five or a hundred and thirty five? Somewhere in there, Ninja doesn't physically age much past this point. Sherlock doesn't either, but he does get more weathered in appearance than his wife does.

Hoooray, doodles doodles doodles!

Kidlets

Oh and I drew these two nights ago. Sherry and Ninja's eventually kidlets.

And a beardy Sherry I drew really quickly for Jessica who was having a hard time picturing him with facial hair.

I drew a companion older Ninja as well, but she's traditional and I don't feel like scanning.

Left and Right is Hard

I drew this today for a friend who was feeling kinda blue.

I started this, and I worked on it for about an hour an a half until I was finished- and then I realized, "Oh jeeze, I just painted this entire thing without saving, I better do that," and tapped Ctrl+S.

The dialogue box  opened, and I was in the wrong folder, so I was finding my way back in the directory- and the power flicked.

I lost everything. I didn't even save a copy of the sketch.

Well, I threw a right tantrum, and screamed and cussed and cried under my blankets at my terrible luck over the past week, and then between sobs I heated up some soup in the microwave.

Then I decided to commit suicide via ice cream. Oh man, ice cream is so delicious, how can I not be allowed to eat that anymore? I don't know, I ate it anyways.

And then for whatever reason, I opened photoshop again and started painting it from scratch, because I'm apparently a sucker for punishment.

Fortunately this time I saved a million times, and managed to complete the picture, though I'm convinced my first version was cuter.

It baffles me that a program like Word has document recovery, something as ridiculous to use as Flipbook has document recovery, but Adobe Photoshop CS5.5, that runs for thousands of dollars retail, does not.

What the heck Adobe, get with the program.

Anyways, just some cute art of Shaari and Sherry, who are actually in a pose I always meant to draw Ninja and Sherlock in, and then gave to Shaari for some reason... oops?

Two Days of Sketches

Sometimes I draw a billion things and then never paint anything. These are my drawings from the past two days, drawn between working on my animations for my group film or as warm up.

I swear I'm trying to paint one now, I just can't pick which one to pay attention to.

Sketches Everywhere

I have been SCANNING ALL EVENING.

Okay so, I tried to break this up into two chunks so hopefully it'll upload okay- to the left I have every sketch or drawing I've done related directly to Pirates- and also Alan's parents because oops.

Well Alan wasn't in my other sketch dump at all, so I figured it would be best to include his parents with him, where they belong.

Okay so, we have... couples, couples, couples, couples, portraits, couples, couples, and more couples.

I draw a lot of couples.

Yes I draw other things.

AND THEN, everything else I draw! Because yes, I draw more than just pirates, as much as I love them.  I have couples, couples, couples, and more couples.

I'm sensing a trend.

A lot of Ninja's in this second batch- she's been the focus of my attention lately, because I think she's awesome. We have some Piqa, Sherry, Eli, Kara, and Ainmire in there as well. Oh and me, with a couple pieces from my style meme before I chop my hair off tomorrow and have to figure everything out anew.

Awesome, all of my drawings from what has to be the last four months or so.

I Didn't Die

I promise I haven't died!

I've just been really busy from school and it's been burning me right out.

I drew this little doodle today, and I actually finished colouring it!

Just something quick and fun, because I've been losing motivation and I suddenly got inspired to finish it all.

Sherry is mine, Shaari is Jessica's, and I love them very much.

Midnight Doodles

Just a super quick drawing I did to celebrate being free.

Random ideas are random.

February vs December Again

I FINISHED MY ACTION ANALYSIS. I'm so relieved, I just can't handle it. I spent a good hour trying to decide if I should draw or paint or bake or- what have you.

I decided it was time I finish up Sherlock's profile picture.  I figured I should age him to appropriately match the age Ninja is, as in the top picture Sherlock's probably only about two or something.

Figured since Ninja was twenty five, Sherlock should match- so he's a whopping nine years old. Hasn't even hit double digits yet.

His species ages a lot different than humans do.

I should draw his mum. Sherry's mum would have to be gigantic by this point; Gorgon's reach massive proportions.

Anyways, February 2010 vs December 2012. Same characters, slight changes, just gradual growth.

Yaaaay, I'm on HOLIDAYS!

Family First

I painted this a while ago, though I haven't had the free time to finish it. It's Sherlock's older sister, which I started to paint the way I'd learned while away at my workshop.

I hope to find the time to finish her, but she was starting to scare me so I had to put her away.

Her design has gone through a lot of changes since day one, but I think I've finally reached a point I'm really happy with, in terms of design.

Many thanks to Thierry and Bobby for their lessons the month I was away at Imaginism workshop.

Yaaay, an update!

I actually have a billion and one sketches, but I'd hate to overwhelm you all.

No Touching

Ninja doesn't share.

I've been watching "Snow White and the Huntsman" while working on this.

And ahhahahahaha, it's not a very good movie.

Pretty.

But really not very good. It lacks any kind of direction at all.

But Thor. With a thicker accent.

Beautiful.

Thanksgiving

Yaaay, I'm actually producing thiiings.

Sherlock, Suka, and introducing Lance, all done up in their winter gear.

Lance doesn't much feel the cold, I guess.

Too sleepy to go on for long.

Left Hand

Oh look, I finished Sherlock too.

These aren't actually their profile pictures, as I want to give them some more unique clothing than some... facility shirt I made really fast.

It was fun.

Sherry's pants need some help.

Snake Food

I was having some fun the other day drawing Sherry explaining his crazy family.

Top right one hurts my brain a little.

I know it's bad.

Some Cute Sketches

I like to draw cute things. Especially cute couples. Because they're adorable.

Just some quick sketches of Sherry and Ninja, following them through the years, and then a couple bonuses of Sherry and Shaari from a different universe who are both super shy and make it pretty hard to draw cute couples with because.. because...

Well, they both get really flustered really easily.

They're cute anyways.

It's Cold Outside

I feel as if it's been a while since I drew anything- That being the case, I decided to dedicate today to painting up Sherry into something worth looking at!

I tried some new things today that I haven't tried before, in terms of colouring, and I'm pretty happy with how he came out. I wound up drawing him looking pretty scared, so I tried to design a background to accomodate.

D'aw. Sherry.

This would be him when he was younger, around sixteen; lately I've been drawing all of my characters as their older selves.

Now I just need to draw one for Suka- but I'm all hyped up on Tron Uprising and just want to draw Tron things instead. Tron things that are all legs, jebus. 

TRON LIIIIVES.

This show makes me ask so many questions.

Forgot to add the scratches and bruises everywhere. He works hard on the ship and gets kicked around a lot, so I added those!

Hot Pursuit

Well this took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to finish.

I'm still working on benders, haha. I have Shannon, Kaitlin, Sarah, Evan, and Kaytor to finish.

Until then, yay, something from Rise!!

Just a Piece

Just a piece of something bigger I'm working on right now.

I was pretty happy with it!

Sherry and Ninja both sport freckles now. Figured since they were redheads and all.

First time I've gotten to colour Sherlock's new eyes.

A Bit of Story

The other day, my good friend Jessica designed some pretty dresses for a bunch of our characters in an RP who were having a fancy dinner.

Ninja didn't get a dress, because she's just a kid, and super annoying, and doesn't wear dresses.

I wanted to design her in a dress, so I went back to her own story Rise, and lifted Ninja out and helped fit her into a very beautiful dress that had a ridiculous amount of fabric.

I won't lie, I really liked it-- but Ninja wouldn't wear a dress. She's too active, and also a crucial member to the resistance, along with her boyfriend, Sherlock. She looked miserable, but I knew why-- one, she was in a dress, but two was how she got there in the first place.

The president of Rise is a pretty unsavoury fellow. He's the reason Children were so prosecuted in the first place. Now he's trying to establish trade relations with the Children, and Ninja, being half Child herself, is the only connection he's got.

I've never tried to draw him before, so today I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm pretty satisfied with the creepy result. Never fear! He's not married to her or anything.

She's more of a hostage than anything.

Hence the displeasure in being forced to wear the dress, when Ninja would give anything to see this man dead.

Anything but Sherry.

Dun dun dun!!

It just so happened that all of my drawings from today went together extremely well, and I felt like drawing a rescue!

So here is Sherry, rescuing his usually extremely adept girlfriend from the clutches of a fat, fat, sleezy president.

He gives me shivers.

Sherry usually wears a blindfold, but I figured he pulled it down around his neck to stage his glorious rescue.

I'm sure everything ended fine.

Valentine Wishes Three

Third valentine card I made!

Actually, it's the fifth. Third valentine I've posted.

Sherry and Ninja are a couple I root for very strongly, as they deserve every bit of happiness.

Plus, they're just made of cute.

So cute.

I am currently out of valentines, but I'm working on more.

I should probably actually do my homework at some point.

Pft, homework. Even though I have story boarding tomorrow. Oh dear.
