Still kickin!

Holy Moly. December is crazy. What with the holidays and making Christmas gifts and working full time I have been so busy and tired! But it had been two weeks since I’d posted something so I forced myself to get some doodles done.

I’m not sure if any of you have ever watched Midsomer Murders before, but I have recently finished watching all the seasons of it on Netflix. I’m kinda sad about that. I hope they make some new episode’s some time in the near future once all the money troubles get situated over in England [or rather the world, really]. Anyway, thought I’d do a little simple drawing of them in memory of their sheer awesomeness.
For some reason I had a hard time drawing Jones [on the left][I think I may have accidentally given him a lazy eye….sorry Jones].
Maybe one day I will master drawing his eyebrows.

And in addition to M.M, I played around with character and color since I felt this Blog didn’t have enough color in it!!!
Pluuuuus a little bit of the colored version of the character I posted earlier in the month. ALMOST done coloring it...so....close.....

Oddly, while drawing the last 4 images, they kept making me think of embroidery....

A Pretty Kind of Creepy

A new character design!
I love characters that are both good looking and kind of creepy. Where you can’t quite make out if they’re a good guy or a bad guy, and it gets to a point where you don’t care either way, just so long as you can continue to hear their witty, semi-sarcastic comments.

While drawing this character I imagine her to be in a puzzle/Murder Mystery/Suspense kind of game. She is the person you go to when you need some back history knowledge to help crack the case, or the person you ask when your stumped over a certain puzzle in the game. Throughout the game the player would have suspicions about whether she is really there to help or just to confuse, and whether she is in fact dead, alive, or just a figment of their imagination.
You wouldn’t discover that she was a ghost till the very end.
I’m contemplating making a simple flash of her turning into ghost form…..

As for the dress, there is something that isn’t sitting right about it with me…can’t figure out what it is exactly yet though….
and at first I thought “dark blue dress”, then “red striped dress”, now I’m contemplating green…..we shall see….
Also, I got into drawing the bodice only to remember that I’d be covering it with a book…good times.

Also…I wish I had more picture layout options…these are cut oddly….
oh Tumblr, you and your mysterious ways….

To add onto my ramblings: I saw Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows tonight.
I can’t wait till it comes out on DVD so that I may watch Watson’s/Jude Law’s hysterical/laughing drunk face over and over again.
That and Robert Downey Jr. in drag.

Some sketches for a project I'm working on.
It's still in development!

Male Version of Hair exploration exercise

That is a long title.

A Hairy Situation

Yeaaaaaaaaa drawing exercise with hair. Fun times.
Plus tattoos. Win.

I plan to do a male version as well :B

I messed around a little more with the design settings on here though I still have no idea how to go into the html and fix it up. I wish it was as easy as it is on tumblr to mess with the design.
Ah well.

 

Been working on this for about a week or so I think off and on between work and making Christmas gifts. This is for two of my good friends that have just moved to the U.S and are about to start their future together. I'm so happy for them and wish them the best!!!

December is always so busy!
