I had a sudden urge to draw a bat...so i did. Made in ProCreate PainterClassic with my Wacom tablet.
For Blairhound of DeviantArt. Some weeks ago, i asked her if she'd like to do an art trade.... I dunno if we ever actually agreed to do one, but i was recently inspired to draw her, n spent my last few lunches at work drawing this for her. So, if she happens to draw something back for me, we'll call it a trade.. Otherwise, it's gift art for her.
The rough sketch for this appeared in my sketchbook while watching "Nightmare Before Christmas." My brother and his wife are getting a borzoi soon, so i have borzois on the brain heh... Chalk pastels on 16.5x24 inch black canson paper. (This was photographed with a digital camera, so it's a tad blurry; my apologies.)
Cuz sometimes, we say or do things we later regret. Ah well.... We're soon old and so late smart.
For Zitholkt (on DevArt) cuz she's been so nice to me. This is her character Creature with her dog Peanut. Peanut was her rl boxer/shepard who was...unjustly taken away from her... This was drawn with microns, n prisma markers and coloured pencils.
Painted just the other day to get out some images and thoughts i had in my head.
Just trying to copy Twapa's Flash vector style ;) Fun stuff! This was just a test, but one thing's for sure: I figured out how to do feathers if i ever need to!
This was originally completed in 2002, on my oooold, terribly dark monitor. The colours were all wonky and the image itself was drawn quite lop-sided. I changed the colours yesterday and tried to redraw and reposition her torso so she wasn't leaning as much. I'd like to think i fixed this image at least a little... The original file can be seen here: http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Artists/Laura-Westrate/cutedora.gif Pencil sketch traced over and coloured with 3x5 inch wacom tablet.
Front of a card im working on... Gonna send it to Alan's Grandparents as a thank-you..just for taking care of him n looking out for him while i can't be there. Stupidly sappy, i know..but.. oh well. I want to thank them anyhow. This is about 3x5 inches, and was done in 45 mins while on breaks at work.
I'm not sure really... Just playing around with a new technique. Turned out looking sort of like batik, but it's not...
The cover of my current diary. This was drawn mainly with ink pen and coloured pencils.
Might not look like much, but this piece has a lot of symbolic meaning to me. I like it! Prisma markers over a mechanical pencil sketch...n some white gel pen too.
This is gonna take me forever to colour... I might as well upload the inks for now since i'm rather proud of them. The anatomy of Darren and i however..sucks. I certainly need to brush up on my human-ish anatomy.
My "finished" half of an art trade with Darren (d6016 on DevArt). The background still seems rather unfinished/unbalanced to me though, so I'm open to suggestions as far as how to better this attempt goes...
My half of an art trade with a friend of mine (d6016.deviantart.com) from the end of last year. I play with his tail a lot and it annoys him XP
My friend Darren (http://d6016.deviantart.com/) came up with cowtatoes and i thought they were too cute, so i had to draw my own image with them! Yay cowtato! My scanner butchered the blending in this image, btw..Sky especially -.-
"Despair" Another painting/collage thing. This one is 12"x18" (scanned in 6 parts! woo yay! x.x). Honestly, i don't know where this came from cuz im not depressed or upset at all... It just happened. Mixed media on illustration board.
Erm... im getting really sick of the Christmas music they've been playing at work..? I swear... Rudolph might be next x.x
A house key; something i wish i had... This is a poor attempt at some sort of forced perspective too, made with gold leaf and coloured pencil on black canson paper.
I know i know, i put words in a picture >.< ..But, i like it this way.. Lyrics from "Don't Fake This" by Chevelle.
For my 'roo boy cuz i love him so much ^^ Micron inks and prisma marker.
Oh sure, it looks all cute and innocent, but he's actually sucking my brains out XD
My mate wasn't too happy the other day, so i drew this to try and cheer him up... I only meant for it to be a sketch, but i kept working it, n thus, here you have it!
Drawing at work produces some odd things...
I've debated uploading these here for a while now. Yes, they're just the mood icons for my LiveJournal, but i put a considerable amount of work into them, and am very happy with the result. Micron ink, Prismacolor markers, and some computer editing.
Yeah... erm.. does anyone have an idea for the background? I'm totally stuck lol
Just your average, late-night brain leakings :P Doodled out in Flash5.
A friend of mine was having boy troubles and i drew this to try and cheer him up. Ink pen and Photoshop7.
Corgi's all like, "Imma make yo' face short!" n Wolf's like "Whateva!"
A random doodle of a rat that ended up getting way more attention than it should have!
