MY WOLFY!!!!!!


This is a request I did for a girl on a forum I'm on. Her username was Silverstorm, and these were some of her charries. I have to say, I'm pleased with the wolf. I'm never done a wolf before, so it came out reasonably well for a first timer. 


Above is the reference picture I used, so someone can tell me what I need to do differently. Also, the blue stuff on the wolf--I have no idea what those are, I just drew what I was asked to draw. So sue me.
I'm thinking about taking more requests, just cuz they're fun. Also it might get me thinking outside the box a little more--I had boatloads of joy with this pic, even though it's kinda rushed. (She was leaving the forum, so I had to hurry.)

Ha, Lost. Take that! I have the first post again! *Dances around in ecstasies* Lalalala I WIN. (I'm such a kind friend, aren't I?)

ADAM CARTER: A Good Thief


So you guys know how I said earlier that I wouldn't be able to finish him before tomorrow? Well I was just kidding. And you know how I said he was a 'good' thief? Well by that I meant he's very good at thieving, not morally GOOD, like the parable. Anyway, Adam's claims to fame are that he's an excellent pickpocket and that he's a magnificent whistler. Adam also ran away from home when he was young, so you know, it's sort of survival thieving, not just a hobby.
 G`night!

James. ...Again...


*sigh* 
AGAIN. WITH THE SKIN. 
Oh well. The computer can be racist against pale people if it has too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop drawing them. This is James, from a while back, again. I'm actually not sure if I'm going to make this him, I was just experimenting with really LOOONG profiles and decided to make his eyes a weird colour and his hair blonde. Looks kind of like Tintin, now that I think about it. Think what you will, but for now I'm pretending it's James.
Thus concludes my posting spree of the day, unless I end up drawing my good thief friend Adam, though it isn't likely I'd finish him before tomorrow.
BUT STAY TUNED FOR
Adam Carter, a good thief.

Cinderella


Here's an account of 'Cinderella' from the perspective of one of her (former) miscreant friends:

Few people know this besides myself, but before Cinderella 'grew up' and all, she was much easier to put up with. She didn't care what the state of her hair was, I was her only friend, and she never complained. Yes, okay, her life was tough back then, being a slave girl and all, but why do YOU think the prince liked her so much? She was sweet, humble, gentle, imaginative, quirky. She was DIFFERENT from all of the snobby royal folk he was used to. But then this big fat stupid fairy-godmother-in-law turned her into a total diva, and now she's just an insufferable little cockroach.
Oh yes, me and Cinders go WAAAY back. 
But nevermind that. I don't see her anymore, now that she's all 'MARRIED', but I just thought Cinderella deserved to be known to the world as she was in her prime:
a lovely, friendless slave.

Ahh. I shouldn't have inked him. That's when he got messed up. But I thought I'd post him anyway, since he was just sitting there!

Not quite sure who this is. (My follow up sentance was going to be, "He just showed up one day, followed by a wolf the size of our car," but then I realized that that might throw some people off.) Oh, family just got here, gotta go!

Sharpie! (Yet again...)


Credit for the background idea goes to my brother.
Anyway, this is Allison Sharp, a character who's pretty much exactly like me, cuz all my characters end up that way. I start with a whole idea, but by three paragraphs in, she's yours truly. With different hair.  And face.
I draw Sharps a lot. I should probably start doing someone else...

I can't think. Did you know that turkey has a sedative in it? That's why everyone's so tired after eating Thanksgiving dinner. And when I'm tired I can't think. True story.

One more thing--our desktop picture is a shot of my baby brother kissing a statue of a marble bear right on the mouth. So funny. He was sitting next to it in the park and Mom was taking pictures of him--Hehe...

Eric Wye



I DID come up with the name... well, half of it, that is, while my cousin Lucia drew the dude and my friend Zoe came up with the other half. Anyway, this is Eric Wye, (Eric copyright ME) I'm not really sure what his story is, or even what he's looking at, but Found wanted me to post for a really long time, and I don't have anything to post, so I'm posting other people's stuff. Thus concludes this special guest post of the season, by Lucia Froula, a beloved cousin. 
*sniff* I just touch myself sometimes...

Sad Sharpie...

This is Sharpie. Allison Sharp, actually. I posted her about three times so far, I think. Anyway, it's an unfinished picture, and I'm trying to figure out what the background should be. She's crying about something or other, and FYI her hair is usually a lot neater than that. And she's wearing a sports jersey over a long sleeved T. Anyhoo, if you have any ideas fo rthe background, puh-lease comment and help me out!

Me... Again....



Well, it's Thanksgiving. Another year come and gone. Family, Friends, Pie. Doesn't get much better than that.

This is a weird picture of yours truly that I messed up on--I parted my hair on the wrong side again. It's cuz whenever I look in the mirror, it looks like it's parted on the other side. Happens to me all the time--I always draw myself wrong.
I had a dream, probably brought on by a conversation I had, about a bunch of my chibis jumping out of their pictures and running wild. They were about 6 inches tall, and I was running around the room trying to collect them all before they damaged anything. Eventually I rounded them all up and made them jump back inside their pictures. And then I woke up. What a creepy mind I have.

Shout out to MC

I would like to announce that one of our awesome members, Mary-Catherine, will be making her debut as one of the main roles in a production of The Importance of Being Earnest tomorrow. 
Relax and have fun, MC! You'll be fabulous, and I wish I could be there to see you SO badly!
Break a leg!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from SilverSketches to our devout followers, have a lovely day and don't forget to take the turkey out of the oven, and eat lots of pie, and sleep in, and be thankful, and all of that traditional stuff. 
And if you're a vegan, then um, eat lots of tofurkey or whatsit...

Sleepless


I'll go into the pic in a second. First what I need to say is....
WOW, Lost! REAL mature! Draw ONE picture and make 7 posts out of it! Boot me off the front page, will you? Well, I'll have my revenge. Oh, yes. My revenge...
Hehe....

Well, I don't really understand this picture. I mean, I feel like I know the girl a little, and have a possible story for her, but I don't understand what she's doing up at 2 in the morning. Sleepless nights are awful. Maybe she has some awful assignment to turn in, or a friend is sick. Maybe she's going blind and she knows it's only a matter of time. Maybe she lost a family member or hurt someone's feelings and regrets it. Maybe she's crying over a petty concern, or maybe it's important. That's the thing about me. Not only do I have to stress out over my own problems, I have the weight of an overactive imagination to tack on more issues. I stress about school, and then I also feel bad for the problems that I myself inflict on people that do not even exsist. I guess I'm just bizarre like that.

Ford


Ford's small and slightly on the nerdier side, his passion is basically math, making him arm-in-arm with Houston. He's a borne mathematician--he can crunch numbers like the devil. A human calculator. He's awkward, EXTREMELY shy, but looks like a whole other person when he's not wearing his glasses. On the top of one side of his head you'll see his hair grows about 6 times as fast as the rest, --his parents tell him he stuck a fork into an outlet when he was 4 and something's been a bit off since.
Ford's a sweet little guy, and often needs protection from his burlier friends. 
Just don't let him near an outlet and he isn't any trouble. :-D
~Lost out

...AND, I would like to announce, I just committed some serious awesomeness in booting Found off the front page in one go. *hugs self* Of course, I'll pay for it in one way or another later on, but if you please I believe some congratulations are in order... "OH, yes, yes I know, please, no autographs... Oh if I must..."

 

Houston Hallows


Houston's is a technical maniac. Any electronic device you own, from pencil sharpener to an ipad and beyond, he knows how to program it, disassemble and reassemble it, make a new own, or fix it. He is a computer prodigy, basically. Funny, because his grandparents on one side are amish. He rarely speaks, and basically never laughs. His mood is generally kind of glum. Houston has a passion for scifi shows and LOTR. Houston's in every way the epitome of geeks, and tends to thrive in his own little world of programming, charging, and fixing, and though he has a really chatty side, it only creeps out from behind that giant mop of hair he has when you talk tech.

Scarlett Reed


Scarlett is ruddy, shy, charming, and on the shorter side of things. Scar is a natural scientist/inventor, inheriting it from his Dad, who won nobel prizes and such. In fact when he was maybe 5 Scarlett made a marble-shooting trebuchet using toothpicks and tape. He has a more normal aspect to him, being slightly less awkward than his friends, but once you get him going you'll find he's actually not as different as you might have expected. Scarlett's bashful, intelligent, and frequently gets headaches. Embarrass him even slightly and he'll turn scarlet, no pun intended. 
Scar's a good guy, always obliging, and sensitive for other people.

James


Tall and skinny, James is sort of an in between kinda guy, not sure where he fits in. He loves music, chess, literature, and poetry. No, not your typical modern day teenager. But everything stays in his head nicely and he aces all of his classes, so don't judge him too harshly. Like his friends, his manners are old-fashioned and quirky, but really once you get used to his awkward side he's a fantastic listener and is always there to lend a hand. If there's anyone you can count on for a kind word or a helping hand, it's James.

Hoffernan Stratton


Hoffernan is a borne lawyer, borne to a family of borne lawyers, who, as it happens, were from a long line of lawyers. Greg could've argued you into changing your very beliefs before he turned 6. He's a fantastic student, though occasionally comes off as cocky. He's always ready to stick up for what's right, though, and, in a few words, you basically REALLY want him on your side.

Gregory Ainsworth


First off is Greggs here. 

Gregory is something of an amazement. But more on that in a moment, if you please. He's particularly funny, and he's great with improv. Greg is sort of a jack of all trades, but really, REALLY excels in acting. It's incredible... He can perform you right out of existence. He's engaging, believable, handsome, has a strong, clear voice. He's (though he doesn't know it) basically a smack-down heart throb, especially when he's on the stage doing his thing. He's a history whiz, he could talk your ear off about just any battle or skirmish in any country. Greg keeps to himself as much as possible, isn't great  at socializing, like the rest of his group. The only place where he really feels at home is on the stage.

6 Geeks Finished Version


Lost here--So, here they all are. From left to right it's Gregory, Hoffernan, James, Scarlett, Houston, and Ford. On the whole they're all sweet, sensitive, smart, clever boys that just want to learn stuff and soak it all in until their brains overload and their heads blow up. This is them after an Easter mass or summat. They're all from wealthy classy Roman Catholic families in England, and they're all best friends. I am just realizing now that I forgot to colour in their belts. My apologies. Take however distracting it is to you and multiply that x10, and that's how much it's torturing ME right now. But oh well. I mean, who DOESN'T own a white belt??? Come on!
Individual details for these guys in a mo.

Rarity and Spiderman...


Okay, well, this was my first time really using SketchbookExpress, so it's not really very good. I think I may have gone a tad overboard on Spraypaint and mascara, but HEY! It's FAN ART! I'm totally allowed to do it however I want!
This is actually a screenshot of my actual drawing, since the file was too big to be uploaded to the blog in a reasonable amount of time.
If anybody feels awesome, a critique would be wonderful. This isn't drawn in standard MLP style, obviously, but I would love feedback as to what I should change, whatever.

Strange... I think I'm losing my touch. I don't think I have anything new to report. Lemme think... Ladidadida... Oh! I saw The Amazing Spiderman last night! My review?
I won't say too much, in case y'all haven't seen it, but here we go.
Peter Parker was awkward. REALLY awkward. So awkward, that I cringed multiple times while watching the movie. Who knew anyone could be that bad at talking to girls? WHich brings me to my next comment: There was a lot of kissing. Like, a lot. It was a little overboard. A lot overboard. Another thing--Okay, I can't say too much for fear of spoilers, but WHAT THE HECK WAS HE THINKING IN THE END? Talk about LYING MUCH? What a horrible ending! I mean, if I were Gwen, I would have turned around and punched him in the FACE. I thought super heroes were supposed to honor their promises! Isn't that why so many of them get trapped by the villains? But man, I was mad.
Anyway. Overall, it was a good movie, despite its lame ending and exessive awkward moments, I liked it. I'm just glad that Peter isn't an Avenger, because he doesn't deserve the title.
My, this post was longer than I intended...

Ironman!


Ooh, love the pic, Lost!
This is my second installation in my Avengers+Friends collection. (The first was me and Loki.) This is my friend (Who comments as the Eighth Dwarf), and Ironman.
@E.D, Waaaayyyyyy behind schedule, but I finished it just now. Pardon any mistakes--I know he isn't perfect. Anyway, I drew you wearing your signature color. Enjoy.

Anyhoo, I'm hungry, so goodbye for now!

An Unfinished Group Portrait

Anyway, this is Lost, and these are (from left to right) Gregory, Hoffernan, James, Scarlett, Houston, and Ford. This pic isn't quite done yet. I just felt like posting. I'll have the complete version presently... ...Possibly with a few alterations and some more info. Haven't quite gotten properly acquainted with all of them yet, but I do know this, 
THEY'RE ALL GENIUSES BENT ON MAKING EVERYONE LOOK BAD WITH THEIR AMAZING BRAIN SKILLS!!!!! ...Except maybe one of them... Can you guess who?
In the meantime I'm going to fix Ford's face and Greg's awkward posture. And their legs, somewhat.
If you see anything that you think's out of place, this is your last chance to say!
Anyway, I'll return shortly with the final draft and some close-ups.
In the meantime, don't let James's stare hypnotise you. He means well, really. 

...No really...

Rapunzel and Peter Pan.


Okay, so, I know this is kind of odd, but I had gads of fun drawing it, so I'm justified.
This is Rapunzel, from Tangled, and Peter Pan, both Disney. It was kind of a cross between, "I'm not waiting for Flynn to come and get me out of here" and "Who cares about Wendy?" So, yeah, that's what this is.

Well, happy All Saints Day, everyone! And now it's November... Which means it's my month to wash dishes. Blech. I don't like cleaning up after dinner. But I'm rambling now!
Yesterday was gobs of fun! I'm not going to sicken you by telling you how much candy I got, but I will tell you that I just love trick or treating with friends and staying up late on too much sugar!

I've pretty much given up on my To-Draw list, because whenever I sit down with the express intention of drawing a certain thing, it turns out to be something else. This here picture was first going to be Me meeting Peter Pan, and then it was Wendy's great-great-great-something granddaughter. Then it was Rapunzel. I'm telling you, these pictures have minds of their own. There's no stopping them. But as I was saying, I'm not going to promise any pictures, but I do want to draw one of some Avengers, and maybe some Jane Austen ones. Ohh... Me meeting Mr. Darcy. Sounds fun. I'll think about that one.
