Dr. Sketchy's: Art Star Tribute to Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles

Darlinda Just Darlinda dressed up as sociopathic teddy bear, Mr. Wiggles. She had a full costume bear head on the entire time. It was weird.

















At this point my friends and I had almost entirely abandoned the quest at hand to discuss what kind of weddings we'd like to have, how much we had consumed to drink, how odd/creepy the bear head was, and various other art activities we were involved in.

Closet space

My new apartment has 4 closets and I can fit entirely inside them. There are shelves and everything.

Orange girl

Getting the hang of ArtRage, used a different color palette than I normally do.

Sleepy

Waking up early for apartment searching (which was successful!) has left me extremely sleepy this weekend.

ArtRage Studio 3.0

I bought ArtRage Studio 3 for my tablet. I'm just playing around with all the tools. I tried buying it twice before but my browser was having problems with it - I let them know and they sent me a coupon! That was so nice.

Dr. Sketchy's: Contortionist Ekat in a Tribute to the Olympics

Ekat was amazing! She definitely made it into my top 5 favorite Dr. Sketchy's models.





I'm running low on pages in my sketchpad so I used some tax forms and my Glamour renewal notice for some of the 1 or 2 minute poses.



I drew a lot of cute faces - unfortunately until the very last drawing, none of them were actually hers.




This one is my favorite.










This one is my other favorite.

Skeleton Girl

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.
