Mystique

Bioshock Big Daddy

I finally got pressure sensitivity to work on my HP tablet. It took a complicated sequence of driver deleting and restoring and restarting. I really wanted the "hack" noise from Bioshock to play when it finally worked.

Lady Gaga

I got a tablet laptop. Attempting to get it to recognize pressure sensitivity is not going well. Getting my various settings to work at all is interesting. Curse you Apple for making a tablet that doesn't meet my needs in any way. Curse you Modbook for being too heavy & hot.



PC-ness aside, I like the size/weight/heat output of the HP a lot so far. The way it switches from portrait to landscape mode is my favorite thing about it so far.

Sketching Girl

She's wearing one of those feather headbands.

Abstract Ladies

Kinda abstract lady robots/creatures/whatever.

Angry Punk Girl

Dr. Sketchy's: Dante Posh & Nik Sin in a tribute to Moulin Rouge

Nik Sin as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec & Dante Posh as Marie-Charlotte.

This Dr. Sketchy's session was so insanely crowded Paigey & I wound up in the back with me having to get a folding chair from the bartender. There were people on the stage, people drawing while standing, etc. It was the most crowded Dr. Sketchy's I've ever been to. Our only recourse was to drink slightly too many French martinis.






She was wearing pasties, in case you didn't click on the blog post and have no idea what's going on right there.




I liked this one.




Later I started this last one in Photoshop to make up for the lack of any decent 10 or 20 minute drawings.

Cupcake Sighting

Borders

I colored in a sketch from Jan's Drink N Draw so I could play with borders.

Full Moon (again)

Retooled my Brushes painting slightly so that it's now a continuation of my Pac Man vs. Nature series I did back in college. Thanks Fred, for thinking the little guy was possibly Inky! He wasn't, but I realized he should be.



My (oh so much older) Pac Man paintings:



(I've been meaning to dig it out of my old college stuff and photograph it properly in much better lighting and with more than 1 megapixel. Today is not that day.)

Full Moon

Another Brushes drawing on my iPhone since I recently fashioned a stylus for myself out of a large-ish DS stylus wrapped in tin foil. It looks ridiculous, but it makes drawing on my phone infinitely easier. I look forward to a variety of capacitive stylus selection after the iPad's arrival. It's tempting to get the iPad for Brushes & Sketchbook Mobile.

Drink N' Draw sketch

Girl in a dress with skinny legs.

More Goth Girls

Same style as this one here.

Fish Fish Narwhal

I colored a sketch I did at Drink N' Draw.

I realized the other day that my Wonder Woman sketch was my 100th post. Hooray, 100 posts!

Smoking Goth Girl

One of my sketches from last Wednesday's Drink N' Draw -

Day of the Dead customization

This is a Day of the Dead Floxy*:


*So Patch Together has this ongoing contest thing for this little figure called a Floxy that are being put into a blindbox collection. I made a Day of the Dead Bride one. I figured it was a little too late (it was, they just announced the 1.0 collection) but if they do well they'll make a 2nd series. So hopefully that will happen and my thing will get votes or something. The entire site seems to be mired in transition, so I'll be interested to see where it goes. It has potential, I think. The blindboxes are a really good idea.

Vote for my Floxy! and/or
Vote for my Bat!

Wonder Woman

Almost kinda NSFW: Burlesque/showgirl

Kris Williams Laughing

I watched a whole lot of Ghost Hunters on my vacation so on Monday I caught up on all the recent episodes in SyFy's OnDemand. There was one episode where (I think) Dustin Pari said something to a potential ghost and Kris Williams lost it and started laughing really hard. It was cute.

Mermaid Girl

I don't intentionally draw a lot of ocean things, I swear.

More octopus sketches

The bigger octopus gave the littler one a starfish hat. I might clean this one up later.



I feel bad I went a week without a picture since I was on vacation, so I'll try to post 3 or 4 this week to make up for it.

Skeleton Man

Skeleton man tips his hat to you.

Vote for my bat on Patch Together!

If he gets enough votes (& comments/etc) he'll hopefully be made into a toy which then you, or others, could potentially purchase. You need to create an account to vote, but it's quick & easy and they don't spam you, I swear. Should he actually be made into a plush toy I would of course purchase a bazillion of them myself because omg adorable round bat of friendliness!!

http://www.patchtogether.com/designs/designs/view/id/2546

So please vote & please ask all your friends to vote and then post it on your blog or tweet about it or whatever the kids are doing these days.

(Then submit your own stuff on Patch Together so I can vote for your awesome art to become a toy!)

More bats

A club flyer with my deliriously joyful round bats.

Cat.

My scanner still won't talk to my computer & everything I've tried to take a picture of this week has come out blurry. So here's a mildly blurry cat.

More figure studies

In the name of science.

The napkin says - "Hi Paul! Here is a picture for you. Don't make cat sized jet packs because one day this could be you. (The guy, not the cat)."

Brushes - Batgirl

I drew Batgirl on my iPhone.


It actually took a little while, but that's because I was trying out both Brushes new layers stuff and SketchBook. I really like SketchBook's wide variety of features but the UI has a bit of a learning curve, so I kept going back to Brushes.

Quick Photoshop sketch

Kid wearing a puffy coat with a hood.

Girl with braid

Cupcake bat

It's a cupcake, it's a bat. It's both! Blurry pic, figure I'll do a cuter/color version in the vaguely near future because black and white sprinkles don't work.

Small watercolor

Been very busy w/my sister's wedding. Quick watercolor w/pen on her RSVP card.

Tree

Watercolor & pen sketch - blurry & faded edges courtesy of bad lighting + my iPhone camera.

Self portrait w/new hair

I redid a part of the self portrait I made a while ago to reflect my updated hair color.

Figure studies

There's an app on the iPhone called RandomPose that's great for (wait for it) random poses.

Magazine sketch #12

Magazine watercolor

Self portrait w/pen & watercolor in November's Allure
