Robo-Fairy

I sketched this ages ago, and finally redid it on photoshop. Unfortunately I forgot to enlarge it first, so it's kind of tiny, but I'm not all that invested in it so it's not a big deal.



Are the specks sparkles or just plain sparks? You decide.

New Post!

I know, I've been really lame the last few months.

So North Carolina's pretty boring, my job's okay but not exactly challenging (except in a "how can I make myself look busy today? kind of way) and snow's pretty for about five minutes and then it kind of sucks. Also did not realize how much of a Floridian I was until I got here and realized how low my tolerance for cold is.

In other news, I decided to experiment with sewing this week. A couple that I know who have been very nice to me had a baby boy. Their last name is Fox, so I decided to try to make a stuffed fox for the baby. I have never sewn a stuffed animal before, nor have I used a sewing machine for more than a few minor repairs on clothing and the pillow we sewed in Home Ec seventh grade. I also could not find any patterns anywhere for a simple fox. In conclusion, this whole process has been... interesting.

My first attempt at a pattern ended up far different than I imagined (the red one) and I think it looks more like a cat with a mustache than a fox. I made it small as a sort of prototype, and while it has it's charms, I'm glad I did a test one first.

The blue one is the one I think I'm going to give my friends. It's got its share of flaws (eye too high, seams don't exactly line up, a little lumpy in places) but it's made of fleece and super soft and huggable, so it's good for a baby I think.



Anyways, that's about the most I've created in a while, so I thought an update was in order. I have lots of leftover fabric scraps, so I may play around and make more little plushie things... we'll see.

Will update again sooner that last time! Promise.

Last Week! (The longest post EVER)

I kept my promise to myself and took pictures of every caricature I did this week, and saved them all for a giant post. So here they are, the good, the bad, and the mediocre.

First off, here's two I did on my last day of a couple coworkers.

Jared Stokes


John Simpson

And the mess of the rest.


These I didn't get reference photos of the people.

Today's Sketches

Since it's my last week at Kaman's, I've decided to take pictures of all my sketches. This means my terrible ones too.

So, in order, here's the five sketches I did today.




Mermaid bodies are one of my favorites to draw.





Spot the Jared. Also note the way his goatee only connects on one side. Apparently it just grows that way.



My favorite of the day. The girl wanted to make it very clear to me that she was pregnant, not fat, hence the "baby in here."



Last minute sketch. Rushed it too much, don't really like it. Her eye's all wonky.

A few sketchy things

These are just a few things I've done (fairly) recently that I like.


There's a rhino habitat right behind one of our stands. Unfortunately, you might see the rhino like ten minutes out of a day, so had reference for the habitat, but not for the rhino. One of the first things I colored with my prismacolor marker set.

Just a really sketchy owl.

I've been working text into images lately. I like drawing jellyfish. I'm sad this one is slightly crumpled though.

Christine from the movie of Phantom of the Opera. I was going for cleavage and confusion, which is about all the character ever seems to have.


This post is brought to you by my dad, who gave me his old camera so I can take pictures again.

Munnys!

My camera's not really working now, so I haven't had a chance to post anything for a while.

I did customize a couple of Munnys for a show that's happening at Boba right now, and Jim Reiman was gracious enough to take photos of all the pieces. Here's the ones he took of mine.




There's some awesome pieces at the show, so check it out if you can.

Ben Bloss = Hades

Did this for Ben before he left to go home to KC. Kara and I were thinking about going to a show he was playing in Orlando the day before he left, but it turned out to be much later and much further away than we thought we could handle.

We ended up watching Disney movies instead, and well...



I find the resemblance uncanny.
