Got a question?   In the daytime hours I work as an in-house graphic designer, at night I freelance as a packaging designer among other things. In between I fit various personal projects, sketches, doodles and the like. This is a blog for the latter.

    Okay so my friend Ernie came over and I was playing with drawing on his ipad.  He had a sketch of Amon already drawn so clearly, I had to color it up real quick. (in Procreate) So yeah, drawing by him, I just painted on it. Never drawn on an ipad.  It was interesting.  Very oekaki-ish since it’s not very powerful, but it’s pretty intuitive.
Now *I* really want to draw Amon.

    I made some necklaces.  Bettas drawn with colored pencil onto shrink plastic then glazed in resin and worked into a necklace.

    They are available for sale in my etsy shop. (more photos there as well!)

    First time drawing something with deviantART muro. It’s no masterpiece, but it was entertaining. It’s a pretty boring redraw to watch ngl lol.  Redraw animation here.
Reference used - [link] by falln-stockThis is becoming a much more interesting oekaki applet from when it was first released.  I wasn’t a fan then, and it’s still not the best I’ve used, but it’s much more usable now.  Needs layer modes.

    Thanks!

    Holy shit, I never thought my art blog would reach 100 followers.  Most of whom are strangers.  Thanks! I’m kinda surprised every time I get a <3 or reblog, let alone garner a follow.  It’s nice to know that there are people out there that care about all the inconsequential and rather random shit I post here.

    I know compared to some of my friends 100 followers isn’t much, but I don’t care.  I appreciate every one of you <333. Since opening this blog I’ve really started drawing more.  It’s been therapeutic with my rather hectic work and freelance schedule lately. Thanks for continuing this journey with me!

    WEAKLING! &#8216;Tis no wonder our father preferred thee to me &#8212; Thy heart be as warm as his!Kinda pulled visual inspiration from everywhere as far as Thor/Loki designs go. I could have refined it a little more I think but I&#8217;m just no longer feeling it so&#8230;..it&#8217;s done! lol
Loki&#8217;s horns are so very awkward. P:

    About 45 minutes into rendering Loki. I paint sloooow. Going with an amalgam of Earth 616 designs and a but of Hiddles in the face so far.  I don&#8217;t really love any one of his helmet designs.  Haven&#8217;t drawn in the hair yet so&#8230;yeah that&#8217;s why he&#8217;s bald at the mo :P
I should have thought this out better.  I get to Loki&#8217;s horns and it&#8217;s like lol wtf is going on?  They&#8217;re just so very awkward to work into a composition.  I think his smile needs to be bigger or more smirkier perhaps too. This is what I get for not thumbnailing it out first. :/  Now it&#8217;s all flyswatted and poorly composed.  I&#8217;ll try reworking it tomorrow I guess.  Lesson learned!

    Thor is nearly done.  Now I need to start on Loki, the background etc&#8230; Might not get too much farther on it this week.  Lots to do work-wise :&lt;
I enjoyed drawing his hair and beard.

    A WIP
Set out to draw Thor. I accidental&#8217;d him into Chris Hemsworth.  Ran with it.  Still going with the Earth 616 costume though.
The boyfriend&#8217;s a big fan.  Our living room is all Thor&#8217;d out. (not shown, the Loki and Thor statues et al.)
I really like drawing hair some times&#8230;

    Sketch trade with Zoroko.  She drew one of my fave superheroes, Invincible and I drew this, one of her GLaDOS designs.
