Even more ink

Bunch of ink drawings from last night's drawing session. The little fattie in the middle is now my icon for both this blog and my tumblr blog.

Week 3 comics

I was sick for most of the week so this one was done mostly this afternoon over the course of ~3 hours. The assignment was create a biography of a character in a page or less using words and images. I gave up on trying to use thin lines for these comics. Thick, varied lines all the way!

More comics

My second assignment: the death of a character in 1 page/8 panels, no words, only pictures. It ended up as a joint death scene as the only way I could see Liz choosing to die (as a robot she's essentially immortal so long as she can keep herself in good repair) was if her partner, Sike, died.
I had more trouble with this one than the last since I haven't drawn these two in a long time and Sike got a gender swap since I last drew him/her (and she's old here; man I'm such a masochist). So both of them are horribly off model and I suck at fine line work. Whatevs.

Not even I am immune to X and Y

My roommate and, like, half the people I follow on tumblr are playing the latest Pokemon game. So I drew a cute girl based on one of my favourites, Eevee.

I'll probably give in eventually and by X (if I can borrow a 3DS long enough from a friend to play it; apparently it's really good and I really want to make a Ghost team).

Motoko

Rewatched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for this first time since I was a teenager; naturally, I had to draw the Major once done.

Comics

3 page in 4 days! I love being healthy!

My Alma Mater offers all recent graduates a free course in their continuing studies school so I'm now taking a class on comics (Yay!).  This is for my first assignment, a day in the life of one of your own characters in 24 panels or less. I thought I'd just do rough pencils and some tone here and there but I ended up doing more than that. Still fairly rough, but I'm trying to be less of a perfectionist so I get things done.

P.1 might need some explanation; Amelia grew up and was born in a brothel. As a young woman she came into a large sum of money and used part of it to buy said brothel to ensure that those unfortunate enough to end up there, like her mother, would be well looked after. She visits almost every day; the time she spends there goes towards paying off the contracts of those under her care (she cannot buy the contracts outright so she bends the rules by charging herself high fees to see each person there).

A pretty personal post

So I've been sick for the last year and a half. I started writing a comic about it a month ago before going in for intravenous iron therapy (I had a persistent and severe iron deficiency). Of course, right as I finally broke down and wrote out something to get rid of my angst and anxiety regarding the last year and a half of my life something actually worked for a change and I'm healthy again. I got a clean bill of health on Wednesday; I spent the first half hour crying/laughing hysterically and have teared up several times since then. I finally have my life back.

This comic feels silly to post now that I'm healthy again, but I'm posting it online anyways as a kind of memento to the last year and a half.

More ink

Weeping because I like the B/W version more and I'm going to have to spend a lot of time cleaning it up so I can print a copy.

I got a Pentel brush pen

And is it fancy. Damn the line variation you can get with it.

Inktober

A thing called inktober (drawing with ink for the month of October) is happening over on tumblr so I've been doing a few ink/marker drawings. Enjoy.
