Sketches for Twits 05

This is a fairly organic follow-on sketch request courtesy of one very cute (and possibly Ninja grade) bunny. It is for @girlygeekdom who founded the girl geek dinners and does many awesome things in the world of technology.

Kinda somewhere between these two tweets:

Half-tempted to make it super bunny :/ I should have another entry up later that won’t be filled with doodles/sketches but it may end up going live on Tuesday or Wednesday, depends how tired I get.

Sketches for Twits 04

This is for @Motoko_K a brilliantly geeky server overlord with an excellent taste in anime.

s4t_motokoKThis was the 140 character (or less) sketch pitch: Flying Spaghetti Monster, yr version of what it would look like.

She gave me a lot of freedom so I opted to make a Flying Spaghetti Monster in God Mecha form… The meatballs are rotating sauce blasters and the eyes are slunk down into a protected visual cradle, its divine noodly appendages feed into graviton armour which continually shifts and reforms about the noodled core. To speak more of the armour is to stand on the brink of madness and rapture!

There were lots of very strange looks in the staff canteen while sketching this, I opted not to explain because they wouldn’t get it anyway…

Apologies for missing my usual update days, I’m swamped with some apprenticeship deadlines so have been mightily distracted.

Sketches for Twits 03

This is for @shuttler who is the source of my miniature wargaming/collecting envy, beyond that podcasting, gaming and geekery abounds!

This was the 140 character (or less) sketch pitch: 15 ft amazon women defends the city of London from alien jellyfish falling from the sky.

I should also add that I had loads of fun with this one, best pitch so far… I don’t normally draw Jellyfish, Big Ben or Amazons. I’m probably going to go over in copic pens and erase what doesn’t make that and give it a touch of copic/prismacolour. Easily more that could be done to take it beyond the sketch stage. I couldn’t resist adding in that text before I uploaded.

(I probably messed up on the 15ft part, I had intended to use the vague height of Big Ben as a marker but “OMG, Jellyfish in the sky while London burns!”)

I’d also like to apologise to the city of London for the sloppiest rendition of Big Ben ever to grace the internet. I really did want to spend hours crafting each beautiful part, I really did!

A lady of fae origins…

2009-07-15-fae_nicola

Managed to colour an old sketch earlier that I love. While it fails on an artistic level for various reasons my intent was purely to liven the original in a way that pleased me. I still prefer the sketch as it was but I was determined to splash some colour to it eventually and have thankfully done so.

The original sketch was for my beloved lady as a Valentine gift in 2005, I really like drawing her and she really likes faeries, dragons and all kinds of mythical and fantastical things. This is a scan of the original made before I framed it for her:

Sketches for Twits 02

This is for @Blue_Alice an overworked young lass, who deserves a much better and lazier lifestyle making god-damned awesome cowboy bebop canvas magic.

This was the 140 character or less sketch pitch: Doc K. 50ish, short grey hair. Smart suit. Bionic steampunk style eye. Think femme Muraki and you’re mostly there. DO IT.

Sketches for Twits

I sketch to unwind after a long day, a doodle here and there of random. I’m starting to take requests on Twitter every so often to give some goals or themes to sketches, I can’t promise artist grade sketching but I’m not going to drop something completely dire either… Just a way to encourage me to put sketches up here and gift people at the same time.

This is for @PkmnTrainerJ – A nice guy who likes to doodle also and quite possibly worth a follow.

Legs annoy me, well crossed legs do but I did try… :D

This was the 140 character or less sketch pitch: James Wolfsbane – Thief with a fondness with wolf-skin tunics & gold coins. Unkempt appearance, but posh boots, regularly stolen.

Missed out the gold reference and the tunic is more partial wolf-skin but I’m sure if I sorted digital lineart and colour I could sneak in some bags of gold.
