Infinite Stupidity

I’m still on this Derek Hess fix. And feeling emo.

Only took about 10 minutes to do this

Going a little emo I guess. I did this in A3 resolution in Photoshop, so I may see if I can get some posters of it printed.

Well, I haven’t got around to getting a new sketchbook lately, and I seem to have lost all of my mechanical pencils. And being that I’m on the mother of all budgets at the moment, I can’t really afford to pick up new gear.

However, I’ve been getting back into doing things digitally. I’ve got one and a half pages of the new comic drawn, and I would like to announce that anyone who happens upon this page should keep December the 26th marked on their calendar. Being as that is the third anniversary of the first The Other Goths strip, I think it’s only fitting to launch the new comic, tentatively entitled 20something into the world.

(Small aside. It also happens to be the third anniversary of the Boxing Day Tsunami, but I’m sure the two aren’t related)

To prove, however, that I haven’t been completely slacking off, here’s a little doodle I’ve done for a class assignment:

It’s a bit of a quick and nasty self portrait, in a new style that I’m trying for this piece. Don’t worry, I’m not going to keep this style for the new comic. Unless it works out….

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and in that time I’ve had moments where I’ve been bored in class and decided to pull out the sketchpad. Here’s a few of the choicest morsels from those times when I should have been paying attention to the lecture:

This is just a random little sketch I did. The foreshortening on the sword is way off, but meh. I think I was mainly trying to impress the girl sitting next to me.

This one is mainly because I spent a lot of time reading Sandman. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course

I may decide to pull this one into photoshop and ink and colour it. I’m quite stoked with how it turned out, though again, there are a few niggles. The hand is screwed, and I think the face is out of proportion, but that’s nothing that can’t be fixed by some careful digital inking. Can you see a theme here too?

I’ve been reading a lot of Neil Gaiman’s stuff lately, and REALLY wanted to do a drawing of Dream. Of course, it’s been a while since I’ve done any tablet stuff, so I busted that out.

I might work on a cel-shaded style picture of Death over the next couple of days. I love her so much
