Haha, this was fun. My coworker Tesha and I were talking about Halloween when I first starting working with her 2 years ago.
I've learned since then that I can perform the PERFECT Ursula laugh, so I may have to redraw this image properly.

This was for my old comic Mug. It was a wordless comic about a wolf cub that had jut jaw. He would eventually hook up with a Doberman. LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FACES.

MORE OF MY MONSTER GIRLS! I did Genie a long time ago, and I don't honestly remember if it was ever posted here. I'll repost it just so you can see the difference between the old one, and the new one.

YAY PROCESS POST.
So, I spend alot of time redoing artwork. This character of mine has been through SO MUCH CHANGE. She would have schizophrenia if she was a real person. Anyway, this is the linework.
And the colored version.

Time to mega post and make up for DAYS of not posting. I won't lie, alot of what's going up today is work in progress stuff, but it's been a very busy week, full of fail. For the 11 of you that watch me, thanks for being so patient!
Without further ado, this is Suri.
Suri is a demon with hands that come together to make a tarantula. I got the idea rereading Parasite Eve and playing WAAAAAY too much Dead Space. I think she's pretty damn cool.

work of the day!
I did two things today, if you can believe it! I did a dapper snake enjoying tea time,
and Edward from Full Metal Alchemist in the style of Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet. It really seemed to fit nicely. Same body structure, and almost same attitude.
Man, I'm going to make 100 posts in no time with this once a day blog nonsense!

Jebediah!?
I decided today's doodle would be for the comic that Amy and I are working on. It is so fun to say, "HELL WITH THE BACKGROUND", but I sure do go for that approach too often. I think the next post may have to be a background study. YAY EXCUSE TO WATCH WESTERNS!
Anyway, here are James and Colienne, being adorable together.

The interviews.
I'm going to start doing interviews for Paperlinks, so I decided to draw a self portrait icon for the banner! I will call them Paperviews. Like Pay Per View. Yes it's cute. You know you love it. Hopefully I'll be able to get some really good questions together to ask! Stay tuned to Paperlinks for more detail. Ruth has brought more culture with her museum visit post! Check it out!
MONSTER GIRLS.
YES. I'm still working on my monster girl prints. Took WAY too long a break from that. Here's the progress on the Yeti girl! I'm enjoying her!
I've decided to use Sai again, since I get pretty good color out of it, and just do accents and gouache brushes in Photoshop.
So far, so good!

A month of blog fodder...
is SO not going to be easy or fun. Amy and I have decided to really push ourselves artistically, and have something to post in the blog every day. I'm going to use commission style works for this post!
A little while ago, I drew a bunch of little drawings for the Customer Servants blog background. It was really cute, and I thought it would be cool to make a bunch another set of tiny drawings. This time, it would be something a little more organic.
I showed my mother, and of course, she wanted me to do bigger ones for our dining room area. Ok, fine. I'm not like...against drawing adorable fruit, and I got to work in watercolor, which I need more practice with anyway, especially mixing colors, and blending. I may *GASP* read a chapter in a book about it. I hear that people really can LEARN from those things. Anyway, it was a really fun little side project, and I finally had use for those 3x5 watercolor postcards.
The frames are definitely my favorite part. Since my mom has a bunch of kitchy Mexican crap, like a creepy Diego Rivera print, I was thrilled to find frames that looked very missiony. Nice hinges attached with teeny rivets really work with it.
The last thing is "PROFOLIO FODDER", really. I had to do a charicature of my boss, and...I did a pretty good job! I had alot of fun making his itty bitty little body. It was TOTES my favorite part.
And that has been what I've been up to in the past few days. The rest of this month will be about art made same day...HOPEFULLY, but at the very least, it will be a cataloged progression of works.

The big Seven Oh.
70 blog posts. Jesus, that's incredible. I can't even remember to write down my schedule all the time, let alone keep journals or take notes. It really does seem like eons ago since I first posted her in blogbert.
That being said, alot in my life has changed for the better. I'm learning to do new things all the time, and becoming more comfortable with my craft, so to speak. I used to think that I didn't have any natural ability in art, but my grandmother had always been pretty damn crafty.
I recently had to put up curtains and photos on our bright green focus wall at the family home. I picked the green, which of course, can be very garish. for about 6 months it has been just a blank green wall, no pictures, no window coverings, no nothing. When we finally had everything we needed, I went to work, and put up beautiful espresso curtains, and every picture in the house that was framed. The end result was truly awesome. Hell, maybe my gift is more natural than I thought.
The other epiphany was with prismacolor markers. Since I use them often at work, I've become reacquainted with how to layer them, and also how to wait for them to completely soak into the paper before you add more color.
So when Breena was over last night, I did mini drawings of her and Ru. (These drawings are only about 3-4 inches long in person. V. Cute.
Also working on other people's comics, like 6th Circle, really makes me fall back in love with art. Sometimes I need a little reminder that what I do is special, and other people like what I do. So...
DEAL WITH IT.
