cats and dragons

It's 4 in the morning but I can't sleep, so I'm making a blog post.

Did you guys see "How to Train Your Dragon"? I really liked it. I'm partial to anything with Norse mythology, but the reason I liked this movie was because it was very sweet and straightforward. No obnoxious pop culture references...way less snarky dialogue than your average CG movie...also, it's fun to watch just for the pretty designs and colors. I'm too tired to write a whole review, so here is some fan art:




It's amazing I've drawn anything at all in the last few weeks. The only time I have time to draw is when I'm eating.



I should add that this movie had really funny/cute hair and boot designs. I feel a bit like a kid again lately. I went a long time without truly enjoying feature animation...but watching this movie, UP, and Fantastic Mr. Fox were all real fun for me. Actually I cried all the way through UP, but at least it got an emotional response.

I also liked HTTYD because the main dragon looks like BabyCat.




Lately I don't leave my house much because of work and other crap, so the cats have been a constant source of amusement. Here are some more Babycat and Luna drawings. They make a lot of weird faces. Luna's face seems to change constantly.




Here's Luna and Baby wearing cat-body-suits. I'd never actually wish an outfit this awful on an animal, but the idea is funny.



One more weird drawing that doesn't look like I drew it




Yarrr...I'm sleepy finally. Ok I'm gonna go to bed and proofread later

zzzzzzzz

New sketchbook drawings...this one is my favorite:



I've hardly been drawing at all lately, which is really weird for me. I find doodling as fun and relaxing as taking a long bath or having a good nap, so I feel weird and bad when I go a long time without drawing.


Bzzt bzzt bzzt.
I draw sloppily when I am in a strange mood



The weird thing is, I felt happier finally getting some drawings done, but at the same time I feel bad because I want to do less sketchbook drawings and more productive drawings- like on my comics and stuff. Hopefully if I continue drawing and posting less frequently, it'll be because I'm spending more time doing actual projects.




RAR RAR I was mad and tired when I drew this:



Something I'll never finish- drawings of Genie, a really beautiful little girl with a terrible history. She's one of the more well-known "feral children." Her story is interesting, but don't look her up unless you can handle a really tragic story. I was going to try to render these with pencil but I kept getting sad trying to work on it.




These are happier! Bzzt bzzt



Lastly, some snippets of drawings from secret projects.


I'll post the real things eventually. Happy to you! (^o^)/
