An Over-Over-OVERdue Update!

So, I hear that DeviantArt is going in an unpopular direction. I'll still be there, but give this a read on the situation: https://www.deviantart.com/mdtector5/journal/Obligatory-Eclipse-Journal-of-Obligatory-ness-839285646

Also, this is the first update in such a looooooooong time! Where has all the time gone?!

While I go and figure that out, have a drawing of Violet Davis, one of my (relatively) newer characters.

Kitchie Sketches!

It has been a while since I've updated this thing! Well, that said, let's, uh, update it!

Here are a couple of sketches I did lately, and I used photo reference, too!


It's a pose, allegedly of model Kitchie Laurico. I used this for reference: http://bit.ly/iGYyCp

Here's another sketch of what appears to be model Kitchie Laurico. I used this for reference: http://bit.ly/lWQsal

There might be more of these later on.

You Can't Touch This! 2

This is the second pinup pose for Quinn, but there are quite a few problems with it here and there. The face and head looks odd, and had to redraw it a few times. Also, the body looks... odd. One arm seems to be longer than the other... but I dunno. The dress/theme for this one seems to be a good idea, but it could've been done better.

You Can't Touch This! 1

Hey, it's a drawing of Quinn! From "Daria"! I think I drew her a few times...

Anyway, I was talking to a friend the other day about her and the show, and the thing is, she did this sort of thing all the time on the show: she'd show herself off, but never put out, unlike possibly Sandi. Basically, she was a cocktease to whoever she dated. I mean, there was talk of her becoming a stripper later in life, among other things.

Whenever I would draw her in the ways I would draw her, I basically took this thing that she did all the time, and overexaggerated it for my own ends. Not many approved of it, but that's how she was. Besides, whoever got to touch her (and do more than that) would be one very lucky, very happy boy... but I bet even then she'd deny him.

So... yeah. She'll go out on a date with you boys, but let's face it... You Can't Touch This!!!

And besides, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little Alternative Character Interpretation, now is there?

There will be more of these. Besides, Quinn found a way to raise these poor boys' hopes up: Pinup Posters!

As for the drawing, what's there is there, and what's ain't is ain't. Practice practice practice.

Great-Looking Diane... Then And Now

This is a drawing of Diane from about five or so years ago...

...and this is that same drawing, redrawn a few days ago...

Any questions?

Sugar Sugar Cleo-chan!

This is my end of a trade with a great artist named Harpyqueen on DA. She does some excellent work, and this is not my first trade with her. The above drawing is of her character Cleo, who is most certainly NOT a magical girl.

I had fun with this one. This took about an hour to do (including the 15 minutes that it took to clean this up in Photoshop). This is the most dynamic pose that I did, and it came out well.

By the way, this is her end:

Bee no Tee

This took a while to do... two to three hours from start to finish. Um... this is Bee, and she's in a pose... and almost everything seems to be in place. One thing was late to the party (as it were)... Oh, and that thing she's sitting on? Lamest-looking bed ever. Bee, Drawing (C) J. Ayers

Ohhhh... and it seems I used the same pose I used from here. That sucks... BIG TIME!

Sketches - 6-7-10

Sketches from yesterday. Most of them, namely the guys on the left and bottom center, and the gal on the right, were from various magazines I had around. The table-like thing, I came up on my own. And there's other stuff in here, too.

Quinn Dandy FINAL!

I finally finished coloring the lineart, and the background is part of one of the photos I took earlier.

It took quite a while to color this, too. I started a couple of weeks ago, did some other stuff, then finished it up early this morning.

The pose is nothing special... just the standard "girl standing with hands behind her head" pose. I really need to stop using that damn pose.

Not-So-Random Pose Redux

I did this some nights ago, that's all I'm saying about this one. Sandi, however, is saying something else. And I might have used this pose a couple of times before. IT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT, THOUGH.

Pose In Pasties

SANDI: Gee Kuh-winn... you'd stoop this low to get a date? Why didn't you go all the way with it?

QUINN: It's not really me. It's a drawing OF me. I asked some guy over the internet to draw for me.

SANDI: Gee, I wonder who THAT person could be... some kind of detector, perhaps? Your way of concealing your smut artist's identity is about as subtle as what he did for you.

QUINN: Sandi... it's all in good fun!

SANDI: Until some kid nosebleeds himself to death over you. IF I am not misTAKEN, I'm sure it happened once...

QUINN: Gee, Sandi, if I were you I'd not talk ill about my artist friend. I don't want information getting out about a certain fashion club president's fixation for polyester...

(pause)

SANDI: You win this round, ginger.

------------------------------

Hopefully I'll have something decent for Valentine's Day, but until then this sketch of Quinn showing more skin than usual will have to do... for now.

Anatomy is looking slightly better than usual, it seems... but still I have a ways to go. Look at them hands!
