I said earlier that since I started posting stuff online years ago, one of my characters Bee gradually became a monster.Well, after seeing this, I decided that Bee's going back to her old self, however 1) I'm keeping her a History teacher, and 2) toning her the HELL down. She'll still be... well, Bee... just not the whoreish supermonster she became by the time I was banned from DA.
Glaring anatomy supererrors aside, this is how Lorelei will be from now on, as part of that MASSIVE CHARACTER RETOOLING!!! I mentioned in the last post.
I'm coming up for ideas for several comics, and this one is basically resetting certain things, especially with Bee and Lorelei. For one thing, Bee will be left pretty much unchanged from how I had her, but I'm toning her way the hell down. By the end of my time on DA, she had (in the opinions of many) become some sort of bitchy, unrepentant superwhore that uses sex as a solution to every little thing. She had always been sarcastic (if not slightly bitchy) and a bit... um, playful, but at that point those things have gotten to where she just became... unpleasant.
More on that later, but as for Lorelei, I think making her unrelated to Bee would be a good thing. The idea to make her a catgirl came from this picture...
Man, that's a bit large.
But what I did here, was make her a catgirl trying to hide her ears and tail, only popping up when she's excited. Me and a friend came up with the idea, among other things concerning her. I do have to change the ears and tail to match her hair color, and the wings might not show up later. I think Lori's better off as a catgirl, among other things. Hopefully there will be more about this later.
This is a most recent drawing of one of my girls Lorelei... before MASSIVE CHARACTER RETOOLING!!! Her hair doesn't seem all that long, either. It's at pretty much the same length I've been drawing it at for years.Um, by the way, go read a comic a friend of mine is doing: Samurai Princess. It's awesome!
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.Quinn from "Daria" (C) MTVDrawing, Photo (C) J. Ayers
I did these back in September of 2006. I once had bigger scans of these, but the CD I saved them on because unusable, so these will have to be the size they are for now.

Take a look at this sketch...Now, what do you think made her say that (and cause her to make that expression)?
I did this for digital coloring purposes. Here we have some girl in this pose that I've did... maybe once or twice... or five times before...(Yeah, it's more self-deprecating humor. I've got a quota to fill... and it's already the 6th! Damn, I gotta get on the ball!)Quinn from "Daria" © MTVDrawing © J. Ayers
I kinda did this for a friend. It turned out better than expected, so it's here.
Di is the kind of girl that's willing to try anything once... anything. So, when a coworker asked her if she ever had a titfuck, she asked what one was... and he just had to show her. There was quite a mess to clean up afterwards.
This is the first time I drew a girl getting a titfuck... and the first time drawing a guy's junk. Things could be better, as usual (and dirtier, in this case).
So, tell me... what do you want my Di to try?
I did this before writing out the outline for the comic idea I talked about earlier. Basically this is up until the Plant Monster shows up.
First off, the word "spaceshippening" and the bald guy in the corner are unrealated. This was part of a bigger page of sketches.
The girl and the plant monster are related, however. The dark elf girl's name is Demi, and she's a character of mine that started out in a rather... um, unusual way. She started out as a character in a story that FA user JWargod commissioned. I did 16 pages for him (only eight are posted on his FA, with my permission, though), and it came to be that he was unable to continue the story. I asked that since I had a good time coming up with stuff for her, if she could be one of my characters, and he said yes. I had to change/rearrange most details of her backstory, though.
So, not only am I'm trying to come up with ideas for her, but I also started drawing my character Diane a lot more, and changing her character to fit as well... and that includes trying to get a new comic off the ground involving these two.
So, I decided to pick out one idea, and this is what I came up with, based on the sketch: Di and Demi take a vacation on a tropical island, and they get attacked by a giant plant monster. A certain girl saves them from certain doom and befriends them. Hijinks, action, and fanservice ensue. That's as far as I got as far as plotting out the story. That's pretty much the outline, there. In fact, I got the idea for this from that one drawing I linked to.
If/when I get to the comic proper, I want to do characterization RIGHT... especially since I want to use Ron Murphy's character, Hula-Girl. Of all his characters, she's my favorite, and if I was going to put her in something, I don't want to half-ass it in terms of characterization... ESPECIALLY since he's a very popular artist, and he's been doing the online thing FAR longer than I have. I don't want people kicking my ass over the internet. There's been enough of that as is. Anyway, I hope the guy helps me as far as keeping her in character is concerned. I noted him on FA about this, and I hope to hear from him soon.
But, before I can do any of that, I have to outline the idea more, build the story proper from it, and most importantly, DRAW DRAW DRAW!!! If I want this looking remotely... good, I'll have to do that, and I'll have to do that a lot.

It just so happens this is blog post #42. The number 42 is awesome!
I haven't done traditional coloring in quite sometime, and this is the first St. Patrick's Day piece I ever did. Usual stuff is... well, usual... but enough about that...HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

These were an attempt to draw Jane Lane from "Daria". Dunno if I did it right or not. The hardest part was the hair. Some anonymous second person is in the first one, Stacy's in the second
