December sketchdump

Sorry- I've had a lot going on lately- I have been neglecting my blog far too much, but here are a few random things that have accumulated since my last post.

 

 

Trek Girl

I wanted to take one of my sketches and do a quick digital color job, nothing overly rendered, and especially not something that would require me to totally clean my original drawing. I had done this a few times before, with results that I liked, but I wasn't sure how appealing the result would be if I took one of girly drawings and tried it. Rough sketchy lines might take away from any appeal that the coloring added. I posted the original sketch some time ago....

I played with the levels of the original drawing to get rid of the gray marker I had used, cleaned up a lot of extraneous lines around the face, and refocused her eyes just a bit. I had to reinforce some of the ink lines a bit because they had dropped out in the process. Oh, and she just needed something funny on her shirt.

Romulans!

I'm a big Star Trek fan and I'm reading an old ST Novel, so I thought I'd doodle some Romulans.

Drawergeeks: Star Trek

I had a pretty unproductive week art wise. I have plenty of art projects that I should be working on, not to mention some fun ones, like this weeks Drawergeeks assignment. I had a big idea for a piece that was a little beyond my expertise, but I just didn't make myself do it. Maybe I still will. At the eleventh hour, I decided to at least add some quick digital color to the Star Trek sketch that I did earlier and just submit that. I did, however I accidentally closed it without saving, and decided that I didn't care enough about the final result to stay up another hour into that already late night to redo it. So just my sketch got submitted. If you want to see it again, it's here. If you want to see the other cool designs, check em out here.

Star Trek Reborn?

After being the last trekkie in America to see the new Star Trek Movie, I just felt I had to draw something Star Trek-ky. I never really have done any Star Trek artwork before, aside from some quick dry erase drawings in the Toontown Gag Factory Stockroom, because one of the other CM's there was/is a big trekkie and we'd always doodle ships on the whiteboard as we passed. But that sort of thing was always more technical than what I usually drew. Anyway, the upcoming Drawergeeks subject is Star Trek, and while I will hopefully have a more developed entry when that completion date rolls around, for now I have just this quick doodle. I only spent about 5 minutes on this, so please be kind.

My intial thought was "Star Trek Babies" ala Muppet Babies (besides Ducktales, the single greatest cartoon of my generation- don't bother arguing, it's documented fact). The possibilities in a single frame would be endless- Baby Kirk in a walker that looks like a big saucer shaped ship, Baby Scotty taking apart or building some elaborate Tinker Toy creation that could probably power a starship, and Uhura sticking things in her ear. For now we have little "Spocky" pinching other kids.
