Underground Girl

I have a good idea going here, but in terms of balance, the pose is very off.

There might be more of her later on.

Standin' Sweetie

New drawing of Bee. It's... okay, I guess, but it could be better. I went up to the edge of the paper, that's why her right leg is ending where it's ending.

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.

No Need For Kneemoi!

This is my version of Diamondj118's Space Girl: http://diamondj118.deviantart.com/art/The-Space-Girl-167538311

Now if only poor Kneemoi made it in time...

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.

Shrinking Kayla

Commission for ~Tsuyoshi-kun. Instead of the 3 sketches/$10 deal, said $10 went to a sequence. This is of a character of his creation, Kayla. She looks quite different from the two design sketches I did for him:

http://tsuyoshi-kun.deviantart.com/art/Kayla-Davis-Picture-2-185733701

This is her sitting on her bed, eating fries and shrinking... not to mention the extra panel of her getting BE'd (and it's sort of a "cheater" way this time around; she's the same size, but I made the shirt tighter and smaller).

This took quite a while to do, including the three different edits to panels five and six... but it was worth it in the end. The customer was happy with it... and I might do a couple of extra things with this girl later on

Great-Looking Diane... Then And Now

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

Any questions?

Tiffany Blum-Deckler, Sexy Bo Peep

It looks like Tiffany's a bit late for Halloween. She was too busy being really high being too dumb to live just being... Tiffany.

She did, however make up for it with a sexy costume, based on this alter-ego of her. (Kinda makes you wonder if that whole act of hers was just a put-on...)

The other two Fashion Club members that aren't Stacy are being a bit... chatty about it.

Hula-Girl: Messy And Wanting More!

I drew this after the two recent drawings of her that I did. It's of shonuff44's Hula-Girl.

Whatever happened earlier that made her so messy remains a mystery... but whoever did it was one happy guy... and it made her happy as well...

A Hula-Girl Halloween!

There are quite a few OCs on Deviantart that I like, and I never get around to drawing most of them. One of those OCs that I did draw is one belonging to one Ron Murphy, aka ShoNuff44. He's a very good artist, and he has been around a pretty long time.

This is his character, Hula-Girl...

Hula-Girl will Lei you by *ShoNuff44 on deviantART

I've drawn her a few times in the past, and when I was able to get a trade with him, I asked to draw her again... but it took a while to come up with an idea or ideas... but I did manage to do a couple of things.

This first one has a couple of the neighborhood kids trick-or-treating with her, and one of them, Renfrew, thinks she's one of the older kids.

I really like this second one that I did. She switches places with my character Diane, who for ShoNuff44's half, was a Hooters waitress:

Though I doubt it, I do hope to work with him again.

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:

Stacy Rowe, Wicked Witch

This took about 45 minutes to do, plus 15 minutes cleaning it up in Photoshop... no, wait... Adobe(R) Photoshop[tm]. (The Photoshop people are just anal about that.)

Anyway, this is Stacy Rowe, one of the members of the Fashion Club, and a fan favorite. Her costume this year is that of a sexy, wicked witch. Ironic? YOU BET!

The other two FC members that aren't Tiffany are doing a bit of gum-beating about it.

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!

Ass 'n' Thighs

Here's a standing pose, but done differently. Hands... getting there, but still a lot to learn. That goes for the... everything else.

Bee's Publicity Shot

This is what Bee calls her "publicity shot". You think someone like Bee would choose a pose more... interesting, but nooooo...

Anyway, this is the latest thing with Bee. This was part of a bigger page, but nothing else seemed to work, so...

Rose the Genie Sketch

Here's a sketch of a character named Rose. She's a genie, and I drew her before. I rarely draw this girl, and how she came to be... I'd rather not say except she started as a photo reference somewhere. Basically, a lot of stuff happened after that... not all of it good stuff :(

I want to try something different, and the whole genie thing looks cool. There's this really neat person on DA named Sunrise-Oasis that draws this sort of stuff on a regular basis, and it's so fuckin' well-done. Here's one of their pieces:


I dream of Gennia by ~Sunrise-oasis on deviantART

There might be more genie artists on DA, but Sunrise-Oasis is one of the best... and they're the first that I watched, too. FUN FACT: I came back to DA a few months back after being banned for nearly two years. I added them to my watch LITERALLY minutes before I got banned.

That aside, they're pretty nice. A bit... eccentric, but nice. (And I mean "eccentric" in a very good way. Sometimes being that way leads to being good at what you do.

Well, that's enough textwalling for me. There'll be more later.

I Dare Ya...

Here is a sketch with Bee as the Devil. What's different (aside from the errors), is that I did the line of action first, then built everything around it. It makes for easier posing.

Bee does look a little bit different, though. That's because I redesigned her a bit here and here.

As for that sketch of Bee, I'm trying to work it in color.
