Fanart funtimes!

I am so excited for the relaunch of the Sailor Moon animated series you guys. I'm not proud of it. But good lord. It's my childhood. It's the show that got me into drawing people. The first show that made me realize that girls can kick some SERIOUS ass. Which brings me to my doodle I did today, with more to follow soon. I have drawn Makoto Kino, or as I have always known her, Lita. Sailor Jupiter was the one I looked the most like as a little girl, not to mention we shared similar traits. I enjoyed cooking, and I was picked on in school, but I was so strong that the kids ran from me. Lita is my blood brother. I know her FEEL, man. <-- Ruth gets full credit for introducing me to this bit of ebonics. I always thought Lita was a badass. In the manga, she smokes regularly. I always imagined her being the leader of a biker gang. She is also the most likely to have skull tattoo.

Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit!!?!

My best buddy Ruth and I went to the Gaultier exhibit at the De Young Museum. It was the coolest exhibit set up I've ever had the pleasure of walking through. The first room was full of figures that had their faces projected on them like the gypsy fortune teller in the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. Not to mention he has dresses that were inspired by mermaids. I am actually in the process of drawing that one. I was really happy that cameras got the green light. Now that I have a smart phone, I'll be able to take better quality pictures, especially of his S&M lines of clothing. Yes, it is as HOT as it sounds! I did a few doodles though, that are finished. The first one is actually in the first room, and the second is almost all the way through. I will be the first to admit they are "inspired by" drawings at best, since I haven't been back to properly study the dresses. I do plan to do that, but for now, just enjoy the debauchery that is my drawing.
I know it's been a spell since I've been uploading stuff here. Alot of that is that I have been using Tumblr and Instagram. You can find me here!

The ape preparation has begun.

I realize that APE is gonna creep up on me if I'm not careful, so I have started reviewing my XtraLarge Gal pages again. I think I have finally settled on her costume design, so it is less offensive and not as unflattering. I spent some time today, after doodling an Awful Times comic (that I will post later), I did so doodles of the new costume, and drawing style. I may just do it all traditionally inked. I really like the look and feel. I just don't have the experience with photoshop to do it in a way that I like it. That is fine, and the first story will be easy to redo In this way, so I am at least excited about that.
