i have known about doctor who for ages. i never saw enough episodes on our old pbs station growing up to get and interest (plus, dad would always change the channel 9.9)

ken always loved the fourth doctor, and his favorite character was k-9.
i got him an action figure on k-9 one year, but i never looked into the series myself.

i was glad to hear the show had come back, but i always want to start with the beginning...
yeah, that's gonna be hard to not only find episodes of the first doctor, but to sit though them.
in any case, kotaotan  has gotten me hooked to the new series, and i'm slowing branching out with the old. i'm going to start with the second doctor instead. he looks much more approachable.

this one didn't take as long to draw as the spanish inquisition, but i'm thinking of making prints of it, too. 8^)

i still have tons to draw before megacon.
at least i have my tickets.

Copics, micron pigmas, Towbow brush pen, & pencil on paper.

This was a "bon voyage/glad to see you again" present for my friend, with whom I had sadly lost touch until recently.

Tomoya was the college roommate of my first boyfriend.
I have fond memories of Tomoya and it was great to catch up with what he has been doing.
He is just wrapping up a month or so long stay here before going back to Japan.

I hope we keep in touch this time.

i'm going to megacon this year!
i'll be in the brown section of artist's alley with the rest of the nightgig crew and will be selling art prints, art/sketchcards, and taking commissions.
hope to see you there!

lastly, i've started a journal comic, i'm calling "flaky".
jocelyn is helping with the codework for the gig site, but the tumblr mirror is up and uploading!

"Waiting For Red"
August 2009
rollerball pen, copic sketch markers, sakura micron pigmas, & opaque white ink for highlights in a moleskine journal.

ever wondered what happened after grandma was eaten, but before little red riding hood arrived?
the wolf gets in character, of course!

i think mister b. b. wolf needs to work on his knitting.
the pattern is for a 2 legged long-john and he has 3 so far, but since he's using double-point needles and i haven't gotten the hang of them yet, i'll cut him some slack.

i loved playing with the patterns on his quilt.

and yes, the rollers that i put on miss ladybug are back. they were just too much fun and i didn't want a floppy, chef hat sort of thing that most illustrations put granny in.

"two lights to guide her by"
2009
pilot rollerball, micron pigma, copics, jellyroll pes, and opaque white ink in a moleskine journal.

drawn earlier this year, began inking about a month ago-with tweaks all along the way. these are characters from my on-very-long-hiatus webcomic, but i had an itch to draw them that day.
i didn't erase my pencil lines. if you look around ferdinand, you can still see some of it by his wings.

another difference is that i did not pencil in much of the background. i just had the moon and path roughly lined out. the rest i sketched in with the rollerball.
why is it purple? because that was the one i had that day, i.e. it was the first one i grabbed. it was the first time i drew with a rollerball, freehand, and didn't make any major mistakes.

yes, the bird is glowing in the dark. that's something i've always had in mind for his character and never had a chance to illustrate (or the skills to properly show it.)

my external HD is dead and a lot of art i hadn't gotten around to posting, not to mention all my webcomic files, etc, is gone; unless it can be retrieved off the drive.

this is one of several pieces that i neglected to move to my external. yay for files that have survived!

i didn't make too many art cards, originally planning to have them for cons this year, but it looks like i won't be able to go to any. there is always next year.

copics on paper

drew this as a baby shower present for my friend, lkemp.
her request was an image of her then pregnant self as a fairy, with pink and purple wings. i finished the sketch at the shower,  but i didn't get it done, however until a few weeks ago, as the gang got together for a cabin trip on the river. for awhile, i had though i had ruined the image when i started inking (outlines wwaaaayyyyy too thick).
leslie, if you want to use the art to make an lj icon, etc, consider this permission to do so. thanks again for scanning it for me. i hope you and macphile enjoy the art and the baby is adorable! much <3s to you both.

wow, i've been MIA! have tons of frakking stuff to post. will do so a little at a time.
and for those of you who are interested, photos from CAPE 4.0 live art night.

8^D yay! it's complete!
wished the marker lines didn't show up so much in the background, but what can you do? *shrugs* the colorless blender wasn't much help here.

originally, i was going to have her flip the viewer the bird, but the hand refused to be drawn. I compromised and now she flips us off, British style.

Edit: accidently posted twice, oops.

"convert to moles"
17 july 2007
copics and pen on paper

back in the fall, i overheard hillarygayle, starry_midnight and mustangtracy talking about chemistry homework. they kept saying something about "converting to moles" before working the equations...0.o and this is what my mind produced.


oh! congrats to wayfarersgirl - check this out! she and her sisters have several gigs this week. break a leg, ya'll! 8^)

and speaking of harry potter, i've volunteered to help out at the local b&n potter party. they've asked me to do face painting. now i must to find face paint! 0.o so far, hobby lobby has been a bust. boo.
not for sure if the acrylics i have would work. i know very well that my watercolors won't and i don't want something that would stain or cause angry parentage. that would suck.

most of my art so far has been in my altered book. will post that soon.

and lastly, end of the month i'll be moving out of dad's! i'll be sharing an apartment with jocelyncee's sis, becca. very excited about this. however, i'm scrambling to make sure i have enough for deposits, first months rent and payin' my current bills! *out of breath*

Copics and ink on Cardstock

Tim (or was it madscott?) had a spiffy idea to sketch on preformated frames with the nightgig address. we all sat around saturday night after the con and sketched and drew. it was a blast.
click on the drawing to see it in more detail.

will post con report and more sketches later.
