TIGER BOOBIE!

This is almost a year old, but I just inked it tonight. I dunno what to say about this one, it's interesting and I -was- stoned when the idea came to me, and when I did the primal animals (yes I realize the gryffe has no ear feathers). And no, that's not beer on the floor. It's carbonated sugar water. Just a fun room concept. I'm such a lineart whore.

I have no fucking idea what the deal was with this. I wanted to try out something with watercolors, but couldn't find my brush. So I used whatever was around, including some sharpie markers. I'm stressing out hardcore. I'm really...not too pleased with this. Better days will come, hopefully.

Something...completely random. More fun stoner art, except from last night. Their heads look kinda fused together because I just happened to draw them too close to each other and thought "...might as well fuse them together at the neck." Icarus' head is...way too big but yeah, this is the product of another strange night.

I was extremely high when I drew these last night. Didn't feel like getting out of my chair at all, so I grabbed the nearest pencil and went at it. Interesting stuff in my head at the time. I think...the best time to be experimental is when I'm stoned. Normally, when I'm sober, there are a lot of boundaries that keep me drawing only what looks good and not wanting to take risks. Otherwise, there seems to be nothing holding me back, no critical voice inside, and a general sense of feeling experimental and creative, more so than usual. It's kinda nice to wake up in the morning and find a bunch of little drawings that I didn't remember making the night before, but look a lot better than what I usually do.

I think she looks good, maybe just cause she looks more like me. I dunno. I'm too arrogant.

Well, since the profile head went over so well on DA (I think, judging by the comments), I'm going to try out Tacoma with my hair for awhile.

Shiny bits colored with a silver prismacolor. It always looks horrible scanned.

Portait of Tacoma given a few of my personal attributes (spiky hair, long bangs, piercings). Based off a little freehand doodle.

A very bad coyote shows off his meaty, decapitated squirrel. So who's hungry?

Tacoma chills out on a blanket of snow, watching the northern lights.

So, this is what I've been working on for the last two weeks. Drawn and airbrushed in Photoshop 7. Little breakdown of how this was done. Tacoma was drawn first, slimmed the outlines, used a thick brush to make a base color of snow - powder blue. Took three nights to finish Tacoma. Then the real challenge - making the lights. Played around with the brushes, rotated a few times adding the wind filter, and after a few nights of pulling my hair out, I did it. Layered over the night sky, added Tacoma, and spent five days airbrushing the snow. This was exhausting but I love how it came out. About 57 hours of work total.

Yay, rainbow sky *dances*

Lightly shaded 'cause I didn't feel like fucking up another perfectly good drawing with big waxy applications of color. Fuck prismacolors.

One of my oldest characters, Trixie Raver the golden lab. Haven't drawn much of her in ages. Not too happy with this. The symbol on her shirt is from one of my runestones - it means fertility.

Giftage for Velveteen of SA.

This has got to be the strangest character I've ever drawn. Her name is really not Junkie Glamour, in fact she doesn't have one yet. She's a narcotic-loving mink.

Another fun bit of stoner art. Most of this wasn't even sketched before inking, just went right at it with the pen. Looks kinda shitty now, but just wait 'til I color :D

Tacoma and Lunati (Jaye) are cozy snuggling on a cloud together. I've been working on this since last night. Started as a bored semi-chatting on aim sketch that I thought would be good inked, until I started shading out of boredom. And I tried all day to finish it but kept getting interrupted. So I just took it with me when I went to get high and finished it up a little afterwards. The clouds were originally white but...I suppose greyish smokie clouds were in my head after I got high, so had to shade them darker o.o;
