WIP – Sugar Loop

This guy’s a character out of Khatoblepas‘ game Death Wore Endless Feathers who’s just adorable.  Or is supposed to be, anyway; I seem to have fallen out of the practice of drawing raccoons, and I’m not too happy with this so far. I’ll probably end up redrawing this.  (Seems to be a trend with other folks’ characters; I had to redraw Jakob at least once too.)

WIP – Taaq

And here’s the result of the scheduled work on the icebear I did this week.  Unless someone points out something horrible, this’ll probably be the last pencil version, and I’ll start coloring from here.

WIP [partim] – Myces page 4

Worked on the sane panel for a bit.  I’m not happy with it chiefly because I still can’t get the hang of drawing people walking.  There’s actually a bit of background that was too light to make it into the scan—not much, admittedly, but it’s not going to be a featureless white void.

Myces page 4 as of 2009-08-25 How do you draw walking and make it look convincing?

Also: I know the Mycenaean is pretty bad, even (especially) taken as Greek.

WIP – Kohath

For some reason my last picture of Kohath was drawn well over five years ago, and I figured I’d better draw a new one since the old one was kind of awful, too.

I started on this a bit ago and worked on it for a while this weekend at the Aurora furmeet.

Kohath

I have a sort of idea that there should be another person in the shot (I can see him watching Scott go up the stairs) but I’m not sure it’d be worth the effort.  What do y’all think?

WIP – Taaq

I did some unscheduled work on this at the Aurora furmeet on Saturday night, just ’cause it’d been a while.   Worked on the shading a bit, and am trying to get the iceberg to resolve some—I know already that it’s too pointy along the top; that’ll be the next thing in need of work.

Taaq as of 2009-08-24I really like this guy, hehe.  Hopin’ it turns out well.

On a more general note, I’ve decided once a week is a little too infrequently to post here, so instead I’m going to try and post a couple of things every few days.

WIP – Myces page 4 (where we meet Xylophanes)

Someday I won’t be so slow at drawing and I’ll be able to post new pages of things before people have forgotten the old ones.

Haha, who am I kidding?  Nobody forgets these.

WIP – Taaq the Icebear.

All right, guys, this week I was slackin’ off a bunch on the getting things done front, in arts and elsewhere. It may take me a while to get the hang of doing this, so be patient with me. Decided it’d make the most sense to post each piece I’ve been working on in separate posts, even if it means a little mini-flood every week.

So, the first thing I’m posting today is one some of you have already seen, which is the picture of IcebearMuke. He’s the bear I’ve been playing on Sundays. Well, I say IcebearMuke. The characters I play online tend to acquire counterparts in my worlds, and this guy is really more in that element than mine. He’s kind of slotted into Nother, around Kohath’s timeframe. Not sure what planet he lives on. His name is Taaq Ulluriittuq (á‘–á–… ᐅᓪᓗᕇᑦᑐᖅ) which is supposed to be Inuktitut for ‘the dark is starless’. Not many polar bears left in those days.

He fishes.  And of course he’s chubby. ;)

Maxim

Maxim

Yeah, so I figured I’d try going through and drawing as many of my characters as I could.  (It’s a whim that seems to strike me from time to time; maybe I’ll make some progress on it this time.)

This is Maxim, one of my oldest characters.  A bit of a mary-sue, but hopefully we can work on that a bit.  Never mind that his equipment is straight out of Zelda.

I’m going to have to work on coloring this.  It’s been so long it took me nearly four or five attempts to get it to look anything like him… The hands are really poorly-done, but I’m really happy with how the feet came out.
