Freaky mice



Still Lost. Sorry to disappoint.
I would've done the ideal 'three blind mice', but the third one met a sad fate before I could capture its' likeness properly. *sigh* I guess that's life. 
Anyone here read all 50,000 million Redwall books? If you have, congratulations. I haven't. I was about to read the last one but then I found out that Brian Jaques had passed away I got too sad to read it. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because I used to constantly draw personified animals, (like Redwall characters) and drawing these mice earlier reminded me of them so I flipped through my old notebooks a bit. *sigh* 

..But that was back when I read a lot.

Sneak preview


Lost. 
Or as sneaky as the internet can get... =P
This is from the next page of my comic book that I'm making. His background story (seeing as I won't be explaining this in the comic) is that he thinks that his wife and teenaged son were killed (which they weren't) And so he's kind of crazy and he works for these horrible people that are paying him to make all of these horrible weapons. (Because he's also a scientist genius)
I apologize for the Tintin look this gives. I promise I didn't copy. (ahem) Unlike SOME people... ;-)

Ugh, I still can't draw a suit and make it look right.

I'm So Evil.

Is it cheating to look at references when your drawing someone in profile view? Cuz if it is, I'm a very bad girl. I just can't DO PROFILES without help! I mean, sure, learn to draw MLPs in two weeks? No biggie! Draw someone in profile? Not on your life!
I mean, I've been doing Manga since like MARCH, and I still need a ref. This is embarrassing.
Have you noticed that I complain a lot?
ANyhoo, I've been very remiss about making up stories about my drawings. I think it's because when I'm listening to audiobooks as I draw, I am hearing someone else talk, but when I'm listening to music, I have leisure to pry into my characters' lives.

So Halloween is coming up! 10 days left! I'm so excited about my costume, because... Well, I guess I'm still a little kid, because I treasure the moments of dressing up like a princess. I think pouffy dresses are awesome, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

They look so much alike I think that they might be siblings...



Okay, so I know it looks like they're both girls, but the second is actually a guy with longish hair. I had to do it that way because I wanted to see how the style worked where you don't draw the eyes but do shading under the hair.
As you can see, it looks a little weird when I do it, but when I was on my forum the other day, there was this art topic where this one girl drew the same type of thing yet managed to do it perfectly. I'd post her picture but I don't know if that's even legal. Suffice to say she was an amazing artist.

I haven't drawn much on the computer lately. Well--I did, but not stuff to post. I made a map of this school I created, and I'm working on this tiny thing of a ship (in a storm) that has no similarity to an actual boat. I was never gifted with drawing things that look real. That's one of the reasons I do manga--I simply can't do anything else.
I have a very long list of things to draw and since this is a grey Sunday afternoon and my dear brothers are off shooting their friends with airsoft guns, maybe I'll be able to get some computer drawing done! I still haven't given up on my Phineas and Ferb chibis, so hopefully I will start them. Or I'll spend the day watching BBC miniseries. One of the two.

Actual paper + Pencil art...



Back to the drawing board for me!
No, really. I recently got some new drawing books and now that I've more or less dipped my brush into MLP drawing, I thought I'd pause that temporarily and try a few different ways of doin stuff with my new books. (Shoujo Fashion Manga Art School, by Irene Flores, books one and two.)
Anyway, she has this cute way of doing eyes which I... hem... TRIED.... to replicate. The reason it looks so bizarre is because each of these pics are only like 2 inches tall in real life, and so I couldn't get too much detail into them. Anyway, that's that.

PS. Panda. OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM. I want a panda. If you're trying to find a Christmas present for me, Panda. Please. Not a Red Panda. Or Panda Express, (Though I do enjoy Chinese food,) I lurves PANDA.
(I have now written Panda so many times it looks totally bizarre.)
(Don't break the law and steal a panda for me; I don't want one that badly.)
(But thanks for thinking of it.)
(Panda.)

Taffy!


Saltwater Taffy. Like a Boss.

Upcoming ponies are Candy Floss, Dark Mark, and Candy Cane (At Christmas). Oh yeah.

So, the reason she looks so twerped is because she's my first attempt at a kid. So I guess she'd be somewhere from... 6-10? Huh.
Oh, and she doesn't have a cutie mark yet because apparently you only get them once you've discovered your talent/profession, and ponies don't usually get them right off. Until you have one, apparently you are called a "Blank Flank." HAH.

But anyhoo, isn't her hair taffy-ish? I like how it came out and am now craving something sweet and chewy.

Quill


I found out why Lost isn't posting!
She was abducted by evil elves, bent on using her for the victim of a cruel and horrifying ritual where they sacrifice a human to the great serpent of water, who rises out of the sea once a year to demand tribute, lest it deal carnage to the earth. Fortunately I was able to save her, but she's now in intensive care and is frequenting a therapist.
No, that's not true.
She was visited by Doctor Who and became his newest time-travelling companion. She's currently off touring the world as it will be in 5000 A.D.
No, that's not right either.
The truth is, she became the next oracle at Camp Half-Blood, and is now is New York, delivering prophecies to the camp.
But enough about Lost, I need to chat about my picture now.

This is Quill, my newest MLP. She's a story-telling author person pony.
Eventually I'll start putting backgrounds on these gals, but I haven't gotten around to it, as I'm still learning how to do the ponies themselves.
Toodles!
