skechezz!!

mostly doodles at work whenever i can sneak them in..  experimenting with how much occlusion shadow i can get away with in line drawings with out over-powering them.  may do something more with some of these in the future.  

fish (karate-robo-unicorn) soldier.  

*note - breathing apparatus semi functional.  fish pump water over their gills through the mouth/jaw flap thing...  i think i can by-pass the jaw area, but maybe need a second compartment for filtering back water to be re-oxygenated or something.  

would be cool to do a line-up of more guys like this..  been thinking about doing a whale one - would be pretty fun to come up with a suit for that dood to be land-ready (apparently the reason they die on land is because 1. no longer weightless from being in water, so weight crushes their organs, and 2. blubber insulation for water causes them to over-heat when on land.)

80s breakers

the idea of character line-ups on a more massive scale is really interesting to me... example: break dance crews!! may have to do some more, and from like, other countries/time eras/planets and stuff.

bird-hoodie-shaman

love messing with hoodie designs...  heh.

guitar gurl..

kinda cracks me up how small this guy's guitar is... heh heh..  it's like..  v-neck electric ukelele fun-sized.

autumn's evening breeze...

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...... it's been a couple months.
time for pictures!!


(above) picture was an assignment/attempt to re-do/awesome-ify an OLD picture (below) done my last year in highschool?? still got some things to add in there, but i think it's going somewhere.. heh. really just trying to get the feeling of adventure there and stuff.. hope to get a lot more done on this before we turn EVERYTHING in.
colored pencils and gouache.. i didn't even know what gouache WAS back then, but i still tried to use it. haha..


got to copy something awesome for an assignment. i picked this. learned some cool stuff. copying is cool like that sometimes.

got to try and copy somebody's style on this assignment. i picked this guy. learned some cool stuff. copying apparently is still cool like that, sometimes.

ummmmmm..... what else.
oh yeah, leaves. LEAVES!!!! man. autumn has got to be my FAVORITE season of all time.. lots of mixed memories and nostalgia coming back and blowing by... like i'm being reminded of a billion significant things that have happened in my life at once, and not being able to notice any specific thing at all, really. kinda like these awesome LEAVES!!! heh. really though, been feeling some awesome positive vibes for the past little bit that i can't quite figure out... not complaining though. just happy.

more stuff

done for another random drawing contest.. kind of thought the judging was a little ridiculous, not just because i didn't make the semi-finals, but other cool kids didn't either. whatever - still had lots of fun doing this!


a doodle. i've never considered myself very strong at "sketching" for lots of personal reasons... but DOODLING is insanely fun, and somehow "works" for me. doodling vs. sketching.... is there really a difference? maybe doodling is like super slow-motion sketching.. i dunno.


so... LOTS of stuff piling up that i wanna play with in photoshop.. don't know when i'll get around to it, so this is just a mini sketch dump of some of that stuff.


finally got some of my figure drawing class stuff on the computer. all of these are self-portraits except the last one.


other noteworthy stuff... kind of:
-went to a pretzel making party. apparently some people are really into pretzel making? i'm really into eating freshly baked goods such as pretzels, so that was a relief.
-cant stop listening to an AWESOME Michael Jackson remix by Beatnick & K-Salaam
-had 3 songs on repeat CONSTANTLY, even at work... i guess i was in a weird mood or something and it just seemed to help. finally snapped out of it after about day 5.
-aaaaaaaaaand... yeah.
the end.
