dragon steps

it’s a significant step in the relationship when you go on your first overnight trip together.  whether it be in the next town or to another continent, the fact is being with someone continuously is a big deal.  it’s easy to be yourself for 3 hours in front of your significant other on a date but it’s a different situation entirely to be yourself for 24 hours straight.  to see how that person goes to bed and what that person’s nature is when he/she wakes allows you to learn a lot.  i guess what i’m saying is you can’t hide your true nature for that long and that’s why a trip is the perfect situation to discover that.

this week we have a dragon.  was the dragon the best way to metaphorically depict the strip’s punchline?  prob not.  but it’s a dragon!  i have to admit, not entirely happy with the way i colored it and perhaps i needed more background detail.  in any case, it was fun to draw and allow the art to do all of the talking this week.  hope you enjoy!

dr. sketchy in july

so, i went to this sketching event last night called Dr. Sketchy.  once a month, at this sake/tea lounge, they have a model come, dressed in sometimes wacky, but always interesting outfits.  they start off with 1 minute poses, then 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and finally 15 minutes.  so for two hours, this sake lounge is packed with artists just sketching what they see.  (there were some photographers too.)  i gotta say, it was a lot of fun and that two hours just flew by!  i’ll try to make it every month and take a real picture so you can compare my sketches to the real model.  for this month though, you’ll just to have to believe me my sketches are dead on!

artwork in-work

just watched Adventureland last night and got in the mood to try and draw something that was melancholy, romantic, intimate, and personal.  hmm, i guess i just described a lot of artwork out there!  still in work but here’s what i got so far.  something to not that’s different is i used different inking instruments, one was a brush that allowed for more “emotion” and the other was a 0.1mm for sharp lines.

megacon 2010 sketches!

here’s a bunch of sketches i did while at MegaCon this year.  not saying any of them are any good, but they were fun, especially when people were watching.  heck, sometimes the only way i got people to stop at the booth is by drawing them and making them stop!

yuri’s night 2010 at the space coast!

ever heard of yuri’s night?  it’s a celebration across the world held on april 12 commemorating yuri gagarin, the first person to launch into space in 1961.  it’s also the day of the first space shuttle launch, later in 1981.  there celebrations occur all over the place, and it just so happens my friends have been throwing the one here on the space coast for the last several years.  this year i finally got off my bumpkin and drew them an image, maybe to be used on t-shirts and such.
