Summoning Bloody Mary (Happy Halloween!)

Halloween's practically here, and I still don't have a damn costume set. It sucks considering Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Oh well, here's a comic strip I wrote last week-ish.

Well technically, he did nothing wrong here.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Drawn to the Kitchen!

At around 2AM on October 21, I managed to complete the drawing of the kitchen that we had to do for art. The result very much pleased me! I have to say (again) that I surprised myself at how amazing the drawing came out to be! I didn't expect it to gain such a favorable view to my eyes.

Again, I apologize if the quality isn't exact crystal clear HD, but it does give a good view of the entire drawing. Pretty neat, huh?

It Makes No Sense, But It Happens

It really doesn't. Hell, there should be no reason to rant about this, but since this has been bugging me for awhile now, I'm just gonna let it out. Let what out? Oh, it's nothing really. It's just that I always seem to rip off my own character designs.

Where's the problem with that? I mean after all, it's drawn in my cartoon drawing style after all and it is my character. My problem, in my personal opinion, is that I prefer that every single character I create should look very unique from each other. Like if I was going to draw every single character I've ever created in one drawing, I'd rather prefer not to seemingly draw the same character over and over in different variations.

I dunno, I just like to have variations in character design. This whole thing might be a stupid thing to talk about since this post is about me having a problem with ripping off my own character designs, but I hate to create something that looks recycled or duplicated.

When I picture the entire cast of any series I've create, I like to notice a presence of variety in hair style and clothing, but it's a bit of a bother to me when one character from one series is completely comparable to another character in a totally different series. It's an obvious fact that their personality will distinguish them from each other, but in this case I'm mainly focusing in appearance.

The only reason I bring this up is because I went ahead and created two new characters for a possible comic strip series to develop for my Tapastic profile, and the appearance of the male character already reminds me of another male character I've created a couple years ago. If anything, the real main problem here is that these characters are just brand new and don't really have a fully developed personality yet.

Huh, I guess I gotta go work on that then to see how it goes. It might be a bit weird how something like this is a problem for me, and how this post might of not made some sense, but hey I typed this all up at 2:23AM, so what do ya expect?

I am kind of a night owl.

Car Scents

Ahh, don't you just love the smell of car exhaust in the morning?

So like I've stated before, with the introduction of these pictures into play means you get to see more of my characters that I've created that's been around for awhile, but never really show up here. Now that I'm exposing a bit more, I can safely introduce several of my other long time characters. I won't go much into details though.

Better Than The Fridge!

Not too long ago, we had our first real assignment turned in for a grade in my art class. The assignment was to draw our hand holding an object, which was fairly simple. The trick here is that we had to draw every little detail on our hand and choice of object.

I turned it in, I was a little bit nervous, and then when it was time to collect our drawings back, it wasn't in the pile. It turns out that our art instructor chose some of those drawings to be placed in a display class in the hallway of our art building, and my drawing ended up on display!

I apologize if the image seems a bit on the "lower quality" side, but that's my drawing! I chose my good ol' reliable lead pencil as my choice of holding. I have to admit, I really surprised myself at how amazing the drawing came out!

Fantastic! I'm on Tapastic!

A friend from school referred me to this site, and after a short exploration of the site, I decided to join the site. I just joined, so I have nothing posted so far.

Check out my barren profile here or click on the link I've posted on the right side of the page. It's there too you know.

Expanding on this topic, I've been thinking on something...
This site seems like you can only create comic strip series, which is totally fine by me because I've been thinking about doing that. Back in elementary school, I've written a ton of crappy comic strip series, which at the time, can you really blame me? I was only a kid then!

Now that my skills are more developed, I can go right ahead and launch a brand new comic series. If I went ahead and did that though, the only question would remain: should I create an all new original series with new characters, or use already existing my characters?

I have no problem with going with either options, but it's something to think about. Before I can think on that however, the first question must be answered: Should I make a comic strip series?

Screw Gaming!

Ahh, finally! The first real sketchbook drawing finally posted! I got a lot more coming in the way, so keep an eye out for 'em!

Now with my current sketchbook slowly being filled with new drawings and such, they might also be included with the mix of these "last book" drawings. These drawings aren't going to be posted in any particular order and will also be posted on my Deviantart, tumblr, and that Facebook page.
