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.

Old Stuff - Attempted Jane Lane Times Two

December 2006 (top) and January 2007 (bottom)

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

Jane and Stacy from "Daria" are both (C) to MTV

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

Recent Stuff (or, MD's Finally Improving? Really? MD?)

I put up some recent sketches up somewhere, but now I'm putting them here...
I finally took some damn initiative and started to improve my drawings. I did these two sheets first, sheets of men. Drawing guys is hard... especially if for years you've been drawing females... but damn it, I don't know why it took so long for me to do this... There are a couple more like this...
This one just above me, some of them were supposed to be of perspective.

Later, I did some more sketching, and... I might be on to something...
I can't say if things are coming together or now, but these are looking far better than what I have been doing. In fact, I took a liking to the one in bottom right...
I had some fun coloring this. I might do stuff this way from now on, with the sketchiness and the Photoshop and the all that stuff...
I didn't alter the linework in any way, however I did adjust the brightness and contrast so that it looked less... sketchy. I then colored and shaded as usual, but this time, I ran the shading through a Gaussian blur in order to try and smooth it out a bit.

That's much of what I've been doing lately. There might be more.

FC (well, half of it) In Space

August 2006

Stacy shouldn't have taken her helmet off. And Quinn is in there somewhere. Would you believe I used to draw her all the time? Now I draw her slightly less... slightly plus twenty. At any rate, I can only assume that Sandi didn't want to come along, saying something about how "the moon is dirty" and "those space monsters are sooo unfashionable", or something...

Looking back, I could've done a lot more with this piece beside use a couple of stock poses[tm]. Background, such as it is, looks kinda cool.

Old Stuff: FC Hooters Girls

Now to take a break from all the photospam[tm] for a really old piece that I did nearly three years ago:
All of the Fearsome Fashionable Foursome (minus Sandi) are there. How the heck did they get jobs there?

This is crazy old, but it's still one of my favorites.
