Movie Doots


I went to see True Grit with my dad, and I love the little girl in the movie. I had no idea there would even BE a little girl in the movie! Let alone, the narrator of said movie!

...I...I drew buildings...that...

that DON'T look like shit!? Praise be to the god that I don't believe in.

The first page of Jerkwater Drones is turning out nicely, thanks to greyscale, and painstaking lineart.

It's not great, but it's pretty damn good! I love it. Slowly, I'm starting to have more faith in my abilities.

Random Papercraft!

Well, Brittney Lee put another bug up my butt with her BEAUTIFUL Little Mermaid papercraft. I was near Michael's today, and decided I should go in and get paper.
Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the work in progress, but it did take about a season and a half of Scrubs to complete.
I'm calling it "Petunia".
Petunia is a playful Golden Lab that just loves to dig, even if it is in Mommy's garden.
I did not do a preliminary cut out with her the way I did with my first papercraft, that turned out to be a great idea. t really seemed to come together on it's own, since I wasn't pressured by how awesome it had to come out.

Just look at that face! She makes the destruction of months of work so adorable!

Admittedly, I still need to fix the clouds, but I think that's just going to come down to getting some double sided tape to mount the paper, avoiding that whole "I'M TOTALLY GLUED ON", thing.

All in all, I've had dogs on the brain!

Doctor Sketchy's and more!

I was determined, even with 3 hours of sleep, and a 6 am shift, to go to Dr. Sketchy's. I had been wanting to go for a long time, and I finally got the chance tonight with Breena. The event when on from 7-10, and in that time, we had a model posing with 5, 10, and 20 minute poses!

It really was amazing fun to practice, and work on some really awesome, dynamic posing!

At the end of everything, there was a contest with you just drawing the model on the side of good or bad. I never win shit, but I was like, what the hell, what harm could it really do?

I TOTALLY WON SOMETHING. They are vintage stockings that I am giving to Ru, one because she has the gams for them, and two because we had to go without her. It really was such a great experience that I think I will be taking those Tuesdays off, or making time for the Saturday afternoon ones they will be starting eventually!
But before all that, I had been watching some people do digital animals on their blogs, so I took it into my own hands, and did some colorful pups!

They are so cute!

And the final dump for this post is a neat work I did of DREAM WEAVER, from She-Ra,Princess of Power.


Man, you know Skeletor hit that.

Coming along slowly


I'm slowly starting to develop my characters for my Zombie comic. These two girls are from it. Digitally working on this stuff at 4 in the morning is pretty crazy, but I think I'm finally ready to start it. Writing and storyboarding on paper first is still a necessity, but I'm grateful that my cintiq is paying for itself with every color adventure. I got an external video card as well, so it's EVEN better for me to function. the dual monitor thing was really irritating to get used to, but know that I am capable of dooting while netflixing, things are just gonna get better.

I'm going to do my best to post my resolution comic challenges here, but when Paperlinks goes back up, most of them will be towards my other serial comics. And now, to sleep so that I can get up tomorrow and go run errands!
