Done in Japanese. Just a sketch, but the line work was fun. The kana say "eeafon," which actually comes on iPod earbud headphone packages (eeafone = "earphone" = earbud headphones).

A Sexy One
Not new, sure, but its held its own for three years. So purdy and yet never scanned! The picture came about during a crosshatchery period.

Floating on Air
How on earth did I get from drawing pictures of superheroes as a kid, anime as a young teen, realism in my later teens, and then this indescribable whatsit?
5 years
The difference years make! The speedpaint below I probably did in a few hours. I did it to commemorate the purchasing of my Aiptek tablet, which at the time looked like it would make godly pictures because of its huge size. However, when you drew a line diagonally across the screen with a ruler guiding the pen, it wiggled back and forth. Moronically, the designers had never bothered to make sure the vertical and horizontal motion recognition worked syncronously.
As you can see, this piece made me struggle enough that even the eyes got shafted.

A year or so later, armed with a Wacom graphire, I took another go at fixing it. This one came about as a direct paintover. Probably an hour's work because all of the base "structure" existed.
Completed naught but 10 minutes ago (5 years after the original), 4 in about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Clearly the anatomy still sucks balls because I haven't done proper anatomical studies, but at least I've made some progress, right?
Drawn with a Wacom Intuos 9x12 and Blujarr's brushes.

Robots Get No Love
She just told him, "I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I just can't love a robot like that."

Scribblin' somethin' furious
The requisite "draw yourself drawing yourself" picture. Much bigger on page, but the upper half is utterly worthless.

Rabbit on a String
The rabbit makes up for the rest of this horrid page of sketches. The style flies all over the place, Ms. Accidental Drag Queen returns, and the officer clearly falls apart below the face (and the face doesn't hold it together at all). Sigh.

They don't know what the Jazz is all about!
My new sketchbook's cover. The tragic robot just had to get some jazz.
It's pronounced "Grand-wah-zee"
First page of my new sketchbook. Ordinarily I would draw something epic and smashing on the first page, but this set of robots, barrel monkeys, tails, ripoffs of Tonberry, "shooting" stars, cheese animals, and half naked literate women in glasses really sets the tone more properly. Grandiose subjects need not apply.

Finished!
Holy crap, I actually finished a full sized sketchbook! Woo!
3 refs and two... whatsits.
A skeleton wailing on a flying V with flames in the background and some woman on the ground around his leg. As suggested by Sarah.

Radio Ga Ga
A few things.
An abstract piece I did about 4 years ago.

A dragon struggling with an umbrella, done at a friend's request.
More referenced business. Wee.

A filet of recent work.
Here are some recent sketches I've done. The last 4 pages of referenced drawing I did pretty much all in one day.
PLEASE click the images for full size. They feel so self-conscious when they're tiny and unattractive.
And, fair warning, if you in some way find human beings horribly grotesque to look at (space alien?) then please direct yourself elsewhere.
Not sure exactly what this picture means
What happens when you spend months without studying anatomy? The picture above.
What happens when you then try and draw a real person? The confidence-less likeness-lacking business you see above.
This never should have come into being.
Tried to draw an old man; it turned into Ian McKellin.
All referenced. Even the "O RI RI KA" owl. Not the Japanese, though, that was my blight upon the page.
Girl from reference. It's a cleaning robot and some sort of adventuring professor! Both look ugly!
All referenced.
More referenced work.
All referenced, except, of course, for the classy Lord Jim (bird). I can never stick with one orientation - makes displaying these difficult.
