Sketches - 2-20-10

Here's some stuff I did the other day, with varying levels of skill involved: A couple of drawings of Jennie, a few of Diane (the two headshots at the bottom was me trying... something else), and a bunch of other stuff.

Stylish Diane?

Another try at King-Cheetah's style. Even then, I still dunno.

Style (King-Cheetah's, Kevin Sano's, whoever) is all well and good, but skill (anatomy, posing, those motherfuckin' hard-to-draw hands) is better, and I have been working on that. I just haven't posted it. Either that, or I'll put it on my blog from now on... I dunno.

What I do know, however, is that those hands look broken in the "pose" that I've put them in.

Eh, more later, probably. But out of an entire page of sketches, this was the only one that I felt was "public enough" to post.

Nurses, Etc.

Quinn and Sandi as nurses, and Brittany as one as well. The full-body sketches of Quinn and Sandi (and Britt, maybe), I tried to copy King-Cheetah's style again... but again it didn't come off quite right. (Maybe the boobs aren't big enough for Quinn and Sandi, but I digress ;)) I did visualize the Quinn and Sandi poses, so that helped out a bit... more so for Sandi's than Quinn's... but I dunno.

Also in bottom right was me trying to draw Stacy in another pose, but it came off all wrong.

And with those are various headshots, including the Obligatory Winking Quinn Headshot[tm].

All four are from "Daria", which is (C) to MTV

Sandi Sketches

A few sketches of Sandi. Tried to do this in a bit of King-Cheetah's style (especially the one in far left), but it doesn't look like I did it that well.

She's such a colossal bitch! One time, I heard she snapped a puppy's neck in front of a class of kindergarteners, scarring them for life... but that's the kind of thing that, like, an urban legend...

Mr. De's Not Pleased...

I kinda eyeballed this one, but no matter. This here is Mr. DeMartino, history teacher at Lawndale High School. Years of teaching dead-eyed highschoolers, as well as trying to teach Kevin and Brittany, have left him really... really... well, I don't think the word "hardass" is enough to describe this man.

The neck and whatever's below it looks weird, but there he is.

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.

Michelle Sketches

These two sketches were done for a friend from DA (and now his own blog), JBWarner86. It's of his character Michelle, who normally wears a hat. She looks to be a decent character, and I've been wanting to draw her for sometime. The first one didn't come out how I wanted it, but I'm kinda fond of the second one.

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!

Old Stuff - GO TEAM!!!

July 2007

I drew this one right after this one.

Though Brittany here did the splits, I think I drew it wrong. At least one her legs look odd, among other... usual things.

On the other hand, like the last one, the coloring/shading looked... better than average, but the scanner I was still using didn't quite agree with me. Also at least I attempted something of a new pose.

Old Stuff - Paint Roller Quinn

July 2007

I did this late at night... but that doesn't excuse what the hell's going on here...

-Apparently Quinn here is cosplaying as Paint Roller from the "Kirby" series
-Her right leg looks DAMN broken
-Her left knee doesn't look very knee-like, either
-Skates don't look like skates; hands don't look like hands
-This is another drawing of Quinn by "TEH EBIL MD", so you KNOW someone will be pissed about THAT...

I do like how I colored this, though... all soft and with shading. When I scanned it in the next day, though, it didn't come out the way I wanted to come out. Also, this was one of the last drawings I scanned with it before I went and got my current scanner.

Jennie Sitting

Trying out a new pose... tell me what ya think :)

Still got stuff to work out, though :(

Tipsy Jennie

Jennie Hedrick is a mid-level employee at Steven's Foods (formerly Slovenly's, Inc.), where she processes orders. supervises other employees, and is an all-around good worker. Up until some months ago, she was a fairly boring person.

She used to be that way due to what happened at the company's first (and needless to say, last) holiday party several years ago. Unbeknownst to her, one of her coworkers decided to... well, Jaeger up the eggnog. Jennie had several cups, and soon she was stripping off her clothes while her coworkers egged her on.

Now, her doing that was pretty damn hot, but Jennie had one HELL of a hangover, woke up somewhere on the other side of town, took a DRASTIC pay cut, and was forced to work at home for the next few months. (Yeah, her boss was a colossal hardass...) Though she eventually got her old position and salary back, she decided to keep mostly to herself...

...that is until some months ago, when she met her boyfriend...

This was my first drawing of 2010! I've never really drawn Jennie topless, and if I did, it was YEARS ago. Hell, until today, I've never really posted any drawings of her since I... um... "left" DA.

Drawing her tipsy was a good excuse to try out something different as far as posing was concerned. There are still a few things to work out all across the board. I especially had a lot of trouble with that right arm of hers.

The entire things looks odd, but it's different.

Anything else I'm missing? Critique up!

Old Stuff - Sexy Nurse Quinn

QUINN (on phone): Sandi, remember the time I dressed up as a nurse?

SANDI (on other end): Which time? We did have that theme week, as well as various other... costume-y occasions...

QUINN: Which one?... Oh, I dunno... that Halloween party sometime ago. I was alright with the costume and all.

SANDI: Are you sure? You did wear a lot when you arrived to the party.

QUINN: I mean, the pink-and-white combination looked sooooo cute! You said so yourself.

SANDI: I said nothing of the sort. I might have made some sort of offhand remark about you looking like an ice cream... but what was said at that party is debatable at best.

QUINN: Well, you were also one that kept saying "Gee, Kuh-winn, if I were you, I'd show some skin... because you wouldn't dare be a um, tease, to your few fans... and at a Halloween party, no less"

SANDI: You might have had me confused with Stacy, Kuh-winn. She did drink a lot of punch there. Who knows what they put in it.

(pause)

QUINN: Well, you were the one that kept saying 'Show more skin! Show more skin!' like I was expecting to do that sort of thing.

SANDI: You have been known to harvest boys for your own purposes in the past. Must I bring up the Noodle Incident again?

QUINN: I only stopped at the boots, the panties, the nurse hat, and the little crosses. Besides, knowing you, if you were in the situation that you put me in, you would've gone farther... and probably charged money.

(pause again, then shouting from Sandi's end... really profane shouting... I'd rather not repeat it here)

(few moments later)

SANDI: Go on.

QUINN: It got worse once that kid got that nosebleed, and much worse when that other kid's head exploded. I felt so embarrased!

SANDI: Of course you were, Kuh-winn. You would do anything to get in a boy's pants... Ohhhhhh, wait... YOU do not partake in intimate sexual congress. My bad.

QUINN: It was worse when you got that one guy that drew me that ONE time to draw me in that state of affairs, looking like I wanted to do more than date the boys that were looking, if you know what I mean...

SANDI: It was bound to happen anyway, Kuh-winn. That stalker of yours, MDetector5 or whatever his loser-ass name is, was more than happy to take my money. He told me he would do ANYTHING for you, including but not limited to (again, I'm not repeating what Sandi said. She's got the mouth of a sailor for someone her age. I hear she gets that and her... less-than-endearing attitude from her mother. Judging from what I've seen, Mrs. Griffin is kinda hot, though)

QUINN: EWWWWWWW!!!! Sandi, those are pretty disgusting things to say, even for you.

SANDI: Whatever, maneater.

QUINN: All I'm saying is next time you want someone to take your little... dares, get Tiffany to do it.

SANDI: Might as well. I gotta get some more Mary Jane for her... gotta keep her constantly baked, and on the lowest position for the Fashion Club that I could think of. No one upstages me... NO ONE! I don't care if it was back before you showed up, she will always smoke weed under my watch!

QUINN: No, Sandi, I doubt she smokes weed, whatever that is... but that might explain why there are never any snacks at our meetings and why she talks so slow. Anyway it's getting late. I'll talk to you later. (hangs up) Wow... what a bitch.

(rings)

SANDI (on other end): I heard that! Just for that, I suggest you watch your back at school tomorrow. (hangs up)

Oct. 2006

Though I did have some fun drawing and/or coloring this thing, it suffers from a lot of problems, the most obvious of which is Same-Pose Syndrome[tm]

I plan to remake this someday.

Old-School Cartoon Goodness!

Still no art... for now...

In the meantime, I found this...

If you can't see it, I embedded it below.



Enjoy!

Machine Girl... WTF?!?

Still no art. Damn it, this is frustrating... I have ideas of my own, and I still have stuff to owe. I was planning to take a hiatus, but I got sick recently, then I got sick AGAIN, so that will have to wait as well...

In the meantime, enjoy this delightful thing I found on one of the leading online video sites of today...

Metal Detector Music Video

Found this on the Youtube...



I really like this song. My nickname here on the interwebs come from that song (though I forget why I put the 5 there...).

I like the band that made this song, too. They do quality work.

Revenge Of Meta Knight!

I came across this the other day, and I liked it so much, I'm putting it here...
