Even more foodles

I was surprised and happy that people seemed to like my last post with untidy doodles, so here are some more! Drawing is starting to become fun again.

These ones are influenced by the illustrations in Japanese fashion magazines: It must be a fun job doing that kind of thing. The magazines I was looking at have so many different artists and styles, they don't stick to one look.

(P.S. Sorry Sean, I stole your fabric pattern that you came up with for Through The Port Hole! Forgive me.)

I really like these hillbillly drawings a lot, even though a lot of people might see them as too scribbly.
Some day when I start seriously on doing my hillbilly cartoon, I'd like it to be more loose and retarded like these drawings. They should all be cute but inbred, right?? I think so!
Maybe I'm weird but I find the occasional wall-eyed person to be very beautiful!


Here is a drawing of a girl I am myspace friends with, her name is Brie:
This girl is very cute and takes a lot of funny photos, so she's fun to draw. Her friends are cute too! This next one is not flattering, both girls are much prettier than my doodle.
Brie is also a fantastic artist, her drawings are loaded with personality and specific ideas and funny stuff. When I was her age I was doing boring anime copies, nothing so original! Go look at her gallery, you won't be disapointed. She did some hilarious Flapjack drawings!


Ok more brainless doodles:
That's it! By the way I want say thanks to the people who are still coming to my blog, it's been up a while now and I'm still posting the same kinds of things, so it's nice to know there are people who will stick around.

Also, I'm going on a mini vacation to see a highschool pal get hitched, I might not be around to moderate my comments too often!

More foodles and crap

Tonight I'm posting crappy doodles that are done while eating (foodles), talking on the phone, watching TV, etc. In other words, drawings that are completely retarded and done while not thinking about drawing.

This was the paper covering protecting my burrito leftovers from when I was at Don Barfo's getting food with pals. Christine gets to be on there (upside down) because she is the only person who knows how "Don Barfo's" got it's name. Little Ricky loves beans! I spelled "burrito" wrong. >__<;


Here is me trying to draw like a normal person


Hillbilly ladies (with opossum)


Hilly billy babies



Mermaids with seabeast


My favorite drawing I've ever done is on this page! Guess which one it is! I will tell you...it's this one:




Here's some pink, complete with notes from Ikea.


I can make red too


Little Ricky!!!!! My darling cat-face!


An important date


Same ol', same ol'


I like these




I'll end with some rare social commentary and ranting. You know what I really hate?? When big corporations try to trick you into thinking they are your friends and neighbors by adopting stupid little nicknames. It doesn't work!!! Not on me! You can't fool me! Here are some names that sound trustworthy and legit (United Airlines, National Geographic, Washington Mutual), and their retarded "no we are nice guys just like you, we promise" names. Boooooooooooooo!

Here, have some HATE

The end!

Trying some weird stuff

I haven't been drawing for myself lately, so today I took some older drawings and messed around with them.

I dug up my super old collection of screen-tone and used it on this marker drawing, then messed around with it in Photoshop.


I like this drawing...it was inspired by an idea Rex had, so I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here. The ugly BG was my own bad idea. This one has screen-tone too. That stuff is fun to play with!

Speaking of experiments, I decided to chop off all my hair! It's shorter than I've ever had it. I know guys like long hair (sorry Dad), but this is way easier to deal with!


Sorry about the blurriness, I took these myself so they suck. I'll post better ones later maybe.
OH! Here's before:

I can't pull off this kind of look!

Also!!! For Autumn/Halloween fans, there is an entire month of Halloween themed Skadi comics over at dummcomics. And there are 5 Wednesdays this month! Yee-Haw! The first one went up today, so please check it out.

Still alive

Look, something fun to do on Tuesday!!


Comic ChatCast is hosting a live chat sessions with all the artists of Dumm Comics, tomorrow at 7:00 PM, pacific time! It should be fun, so come and talk to us! It only takes a second to register (even I managed to do it in about 10 seconds and I'm bad at this stuff).

Also, the 12th was my birthday! It's over now. But the drawings I got will LIVE FOREVER!!!! Lemme take a minute to thank my friends!

HA HA, look what I have!! A Rex original. This beautiful drawing is getting framed and put on my wall. Thank you Rex, I love it!!


Christine made this for me! I love it because its so true! I have a funny collection of cards from Christine over the years that cannot be shown here lest I damage my more delicate blog friends.


David drew Skadi!! So cool!! This isn't the only one either, he did some really amazing ones that are in the fanart section of the Dumm Comics forum. Skadi looks good with a tan!


Dragan over at HammersonLand drew a cute me AND a cute Skadi. I always feel vain and cute after he draws me! Thank you! I love Skadi's teeth and hair in this one, she looks really cute! I liked when she had that weird helmet and armor getup...it's a bitch to draw though!


Brie drew this and it made me say "WHOA!!!" This drawing is really really cool!! The hair paws are amazing of course, and that face is so cool...Brie made some unexpected design choices for this and they came out really good! And look at Diseasoid! So good!


NICOOO!!! Thank you!! This is totally something Skadi would do. Poor Diseasoid. Knowing his luck that fur will grow back in a weird color or something. Skadi's eyelashes are really cute!


Look!! Tara drew me! This is so cute, I love it...lookit poor Pup clinging to my backside for dear life! There's plenty to grab onto, I think he'll be ok. Thank you Tara! I love your style!


Yay!! I got a drawing of me with Pup from Tara, and a drawing of me with Little Ricky from Sean! On normal days Ricky would be curled up on the paper I'd be trying to draw on and fighting my pen, but I guess since it's my birthday he's decided to be nice and be my hat. Super adorable! Thank you Sean, you're always nice to me!


Look how cute this is! Ben drew this for me! Aren't these dreamy colors nice? In my dream world, I have hair that looks that cute all the time and I always have nice dresses, just like this.


I actually really don't enjoy birthdays anymore, but getting drawings from people is always worth it! Thanks to everyone who was nice to me on the 12th!

Unused trollop designs

Last year I was asked to design some burlesque/stripper types for a secret project that I can't tell you about...obviously I can't post the actual designs I eventually did, but when I heard about the project I rushed to get some practice ideas out, and these are some of them!
Obviously these aren't the most sophisticated drawings in the world, but I like them because they're loose and loopy. I felt really inspired by the project I was going to be designing for, but as it hadn't started yet, and I wasn't given the details for the characters, there was no pressure. That kind of situation usually results in drawings I'm actually ok with!
I had no idea at that point what kind of designs I was going to be asked for, so it was fun to come up with different ways the characters might look.
In the drawing above I was trying to simplify different girl shapes.

I like these two color ones best. I'm gonna do that weird fly-away hair thing more often! :)

Two amazing fellas and a cool girlie too

Since the cartoon blogging community is pretty small, I'm sure everyone reading this already knows these guys, but I want to bring 'em up anyhow!! David Gemmill and Pedro Vargas are two amazing cartoonists that I really look up too. Not only are they both really good artists, but they both put in time and effort to make their own animation. To me this is so cool...I can barely get one page of a comic completed, let alone an entire cartoon.

You gotta check out this latest David cartoon- it's so good!! Funny drawings and dancing girls galore! You better not click it if you're at work though, or if you're offended by naked ladies (even if you are, click it anyhow! It'll put hair on your chest).

click me for cartoon fun!

Also, David's blog has more amazing animation on it, as well as funny drawings and social commentary!

Ok...now check out this super appealing and funny still from Pedro's short that he's working on:

click click click!

I REALLY can't wait till this comes out...I LOVE this guy's style. Click on the drawing to go to his blog! On top of being able to animate, Pedro paints, has great designs...he even designs text well (search "braineaters" on the blog). There's such a range of amazing stuff there.

Really, both these blogs deserve a full reading if you haven't already been through them. Both these guys must be really hard workers, as well as being extremely creative.

Also, we've got a whole month of Tara Billinger as our guest artist on Dumm Comics! She's got a crazy and cool style, so check it out and let her know you like her stuff!


And come back soon, I'm putting up burlesque/stripper girl drawings next week!

weeeee!
