I like the way his face is coming out. Â Outside of, you know, the enormous chin; I’ll have to do something about that.
The feet as well are going to have to be redrawn when I get to them. Â I’m not the best at feet in general but even I can tell these are definitely not feet to be proud of.

I’ve been working on coloring this pic of Rock, our blue tiger pirate cook, for a while now… He’s nearly done; I’ll probably be able to finish him the next time I get around to working on him.
The color doesn’t look all that good IMO, but then IME it rarely does look any good in flat form… I have a lousy sense of color, but usually Photoshop’s “make art” button makes everything look better.

This is part of a frame from a sort of practice animation I’ve been working on in Flash, involving a certain tiger frolicking avec un geai bleu. Â I’m afraid I never have gotten the hang of drawing on the tablet yet, so this is also an excuse to do un poquito de eso. Â What progress I made this week, vide infra:
It’s actually a little better than I thought it was. Â But then, I guess I was thinking of the other frames in the set which, now that I look at them, are actually not of very good quality.

To forestall burning questions on what does it say? — The answer is clearly something like “გcsʟԽήɔ_”.

This picture is going to be a little bit ambitious, so there’s a decent chance it won’t be any good for a long time. Â Outside of a few establishing outlines, this is all I’ve got to show so far:
And it ain’t much!
This is, of course, Moriarty, doing his job as a riding beast, with one of those little headset thingies clamped to his ear. Â As for the legs, you’d think after having a quadrupedal avatar for so long I’d know how to draw forelegs properly. Â Gyah! Â Look for them to be redrawn by next time.

All right, so this is one of my characters that’s seen far too little implementation. By which I mean to say I was kind of attached to him in high school fifteen years ago (fifteen years ago! *waves old man cane*), but I don’t think I’ve yet put down anything about him. Â So he came up next in my series of profiles (previous: Maxim, Huck) and this is what I’ve got so far:
He’s a rami by the name of Magni—he also goes by Mack.  His last name has fluctuated over time; I’m pretty sure its current value isn’t congruent with (the latest version of) good Rami phonology, so I won’t bother to list it here until it’s finalized.
Drawing this guy was complicated by the fact that after all this time it was somewhat difficult to envision what he actually looked like.  It does not help that my only picture of him was drawn in the dark ages, before I learned how to draw—I was trying to construct the above from the below:
Yeah. Considering that, I’d almost say I did pretty well. Â He might look better with accessories like that but it doesn’t match the profile template I’m working by.

It’s another adorable character belonging to someone else. Â This week I put an arm on him.
No hand yet, I know. Â It’s not a very good arm, either; it definitely could do with some form (and action! it should be doing something!). Â But I’m taking pics anyway since most of you haven’t seen anything on this guy yet.
In that light he looks a little too mooby. Â I’m going to have to do something about that too.
