Week 15 05/09/10 - 05/15/10

Good Omens inspired fan art of an Atlantisan/Atlantean mentioned by The Them, presumably old men with long white beards swimming around in long flowing mystical robes, and fish bowls over their heads.
I love literature.

Week 13 04/25/10 - 05/01/10 and 14 05/02/10 - 05/08/10

This is a work in progress and I'm not posting the entire thing until it is finished. But for the sake of keeping up this blog (which I suspect has the sole purpose of keeping track of my inability to stick to any given deadline and/or commitment) I will post snippets of what I have been working on, as proof that I have been working on something.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "That doesn't look like anything... what the hell"
Precisely why I'm not posting the entire thing yet, cause right now, it isn't anything but a bunch of measurements and lines that will eventually resemble something. I hope.

Week 11 and 12 - Lets just assume I'm always going to be late.

The first picture was me desperately trying to decide what to draw. For inspiration, I opened up a newspaper hoping to find some profound, soul-deep revelations to stir my inner artist. What I found was the president looking stoned, an advertisement for a tv show about a catering company, and a story about a woman who had hoarded cats in her house. Then I gave up and drew my shoe laces.

The second picture was from today, when I was reading The Hobbit, and the IMDB Trivia section for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And I couldn't stop myself. And it does count as drawing, cause that shit is hard to write without a calligraphy pen so shut up.

Week 10 - 04/04/10 to 04/10/10 LATEY mcLATE

I Love David Tennant. He was, and always will be MY Doctor. I used a reference of course, and the signature I found online and pasted it in. Nose is a bit wonky, but I don't care, I think it's a damn good likeness, probably the best and closest to the real thing I've ever done.
So suck it.

Week 9 - 03/28/10 to 04/03/10

I have been reading Sherlock Holmes novels and stories. Yesterday I read most of Hound of the Baskervilles (I still have about 30 pages left of it) and I was struck by how much Watson describes the moors. I admit I first had to look up exactly what a moor was, and discovered it's just a large expanse of uncultivated wasteland, usually dotted with bogs, and covered in a layer of heather. Exactly as Watson had described.

I drew several pictures of what I thought a moor would look like, none of which came especially close to the description of the Baskerville moor, but this was my favorite.

It's funny because this was the first attempt, and done with a bic pen no less.

And in case it isn't immediately apparent, that is not a river, but a road.

I think I will attempt a digital version of the moors.

Week 8 - 03/21/10 to 03/27/10

Cuppa Rain. I was inspired by an amazing artist who found a way to make something so mundane, and so overlooked into beautiful works of art. I want to be him O.O
You can find his work here

Week 7 - 03/14/10 to 03/20/10 -- Late Again, bite me.

The Flamingo was not originally drawn in that week, but I added to it, most of what you see on the bottom of the picture.
A cup of coffee one morning, as I was waiting for my shift to end.
And I wanted to try drawing that eye from before in pencil and pen. It's much harder.
