Um...I think you should bring the couch home before you sleep on it.

I have some others, but I have to scan them in and I'm lazy.

I haven't been sketching and its probably because I have other characters I like more but have nothing to do with this story and I wanted to draw them. so I started a digital sketch and then...the power went out. Then I was on a whirlwind workathon it seems...so maybe I'm back. I keep feeling like I need a nap though.

Okay so in case anyone was wondering "but Stevie what do you do with the rest of the paper you sketch on?" I sketch on it too but there are lots of serious...things...that don't really need to see the internet. I get upset and just make scribbles. Take tina sitting on the little stool, that was the first time I attempted her hair, it was sticky outy hair, then it was well kept short hair, then it was short hair with a hat and in the end I just "lit her head on fire" because I did not care anymore.

I also X things out much like that random spikey head in the middle there. I don't know and I don't really want to talk about it.

BUT! at one point I imagined up toaster cat. toaster cat (named thomas) is a toaster, and a cat. Mostly cat, but fully capeable of making toast. Little toasty slots in his back are where the toast goes. When he was a kitten you had to use the little toasts, which taste icky. Then he graduated to english muffins and can now easily handle toasting regular sized bread and the occasional bagel. However sometimes toaster cats can make breakfast (or toast time) difficult. What happens when thomas doesn't want to just sit nicely and toast things. You end up chaseing your toast around until its done. If you make him mad he burns your toast, but only if you make him really mad because usually smoke means he gets water dumped on him (no electic toasting, magic toasting, so water to put out fires is fine). Then there is the litter box, cause he can totally "accidentally" get litter all on your toast if you aren't careful. And before all that what if Thomas is not in a toasting mood? even the oracle has a hard time with cats, but she loves him.

I need to draw a baby thomas and little mini toasts

(all of the other appliances are just normal)

This is a "photo" of Ariel (right) and Tina. Tina is the oracle who previously didn't have a name. I love tina. Tina is probably me if I were, more outgoing/curious, had straight hair, and was thinner. and had way smaller boobs. They are not proportionate to one another, and ariel gets wonky looking legs because I was busy drawing and didn't notice till I was scanning it in.

I was upset with the abilities of my pencil. It was being squeeky on the paper and not very good with the shadeing. so I recovered from my DUH moment and got out my set of gray markers. Tada shading.

it looked better on the other side of the paper, but it didn't scan well.

oh so being all taken care of by her mother's servents and peoples, nona kind of sucks at living on her own. She managed to unpack blankets..and shovel them into a corner. and sleep. off to a good start! yes.

one of some

I don't like this one anymore, but I had fun drawing the outfit. I used non-photo blue pencil to draw and then went over it with marker. Then I made the outline digital. so tada.

this is I guess preliminary for nona's mom. She's some amazing magical person with a pet dragonthing, but I haven't figured out whats up with it all yet.

christmas in june

Nona is pissed because she is outside in the cold. Libby is in love with the guy, though rationally not in love with him? or something. So she's fine being there because he is. It looks mainly like someone is taking a picture of them in the snow.

took a week off to mope. I want to be done mopeing, so if I'm not its likely going to make me angry. Tomorrow's goal is quick ugly art or messing around with brush and ink.

oh the nameless guy has a whole creature of the night thing going on so the snow makes everything really bright. Plus being in sunglasses all the time is totally cool... yes. maybe.
anyhow, you are born normal human looking childthing and over time your hands/arms kind of grow into monstery furry claw things. It use to be a seperate ...species? that eventually turned into werewolf looking things, ears and snouty thing etc. However because they interbred with people the process of turning into the werewolf stops at various stages. So people have tails or ears and all over face hair with a weird facial structure. so this guy above is actually pretty lucky his face isn't stuck half way between human and animal.

made most of that up just now.

on the fly!

edit: well it seems I made the reasoning up, cause I don't remember getting that from anywhere, but I just saw an icon on livejournal that makes me think the guy came from that. floppy monster hands. sadness. Now I feel like I just bought the coolest t-shirt and then I found out everyone already had it. I think his name is Ken though. or something K. I don't know that it matters much though...I probably won't actually make this into a comic because I am super ultra lazy.
