dropping in real briefly to share these v tiny doodles I did while listening to the new TAZ, I love them all already. (does this count as inktober? I actually am trying to do a full inktober this year, but I’m mostly just inking cyphers to use in my numenera campaign.)

#the adventure zone: commitment #I haven't looked up any fanstuff for this yet so this is 100% pure uncut personal interpretation #doodles #medium: ink

I’m at work and super don’t have time for this but this is what I drew while listening to the last hour of the TAZ finale.

#the adventure zone #taako #magnus burnsides #merle highchurch #spoiler-free #idk #I'm emotionally compromised

so I just tried to upload this and it got marked 'sensitive’? I genuinely don’t know what effect that has on a post so I drew some lineart & boxer-briefs over the first sketch real quick.

anyway these are character/costume designs from a REALLY ELABORATE animation project I’m working on that I figure has like a 15-20% chance of ever getting finished. but what the heck, I’m having fun. (I might need to simplify some of these designs even more, though.)

#the adventure zone #taako #magnus burnsides #merle highchurch #doodles #tbf it's probably not that elaborate by most ppl's standards #it's just a lot by mine #there's a reason only one of these features taako in a skirt #and that reason is: I can't animate floofy fabric folds

So I watched a couple youtube videos on animation last night, and now I actually know what a ‘breakdown’ is, more or less. Obviously instead of trying a walk cycle or something I decided to do a weird big looping gesture with perspective ish, featuring everyone’s very favorite cleric and his very favorite spell.

Audio from Episode 45 but I mean it’s not, like, episode-specific. Actually, I thought a tree arm would be too challenging for me so I guess this is ambiguously pre-Crystal Kingdom.

#the adventure zone #merle highchurch #taz animation #ZONE OF TRUTH #medium: digital #medium: animation #I know that I would improve more if I didn't skip the basics #buuuut this ain't my job it's just for fun #my end goal isn't 'be an awesome animator'#it's 'fuck around with a new medium'

...I have literally never animated anything in my life. I feel like this TAZ problem is escalating. I just wanted to sketch some quick Magnus gestures/expressions from this scene and it spiraled.

Audio from Episode 51.

#the adventure zone #magnus burnsides #the suffering game #taz animatic #medium: digital #medium: animation #I feel weird even calling this an animatic?#I mean it's v clearly an off-the-cuff doodle #but it was hella fun to make #I think I'll be doing more of this maybe #and like. maybe do a model sheet next time.#I didn't do A N Y of this by the book #eta: shit I forgot his scar. oh well if I cared about accuracy this would be a v different thing.

Taako is definitely the most fun to design & style but it was starting to feel a little weird to draw him without the squad.

#the adventure zone #merle highchurch #taako #magnus burnsides #medium: digital #I legit have not drawn ANYTHING for months #and in the last few days I've finished two complete digital pieces and a dozen sketches #my work + health + personal life has suffered slightly but gdi #I am riding this wave as far as it will take me #Lup may be next? still workin out a concept.#I actually rly like how Taako's hair/skin combo turned out so I may reuse it.

I love this awful boy

#the adventure zone #taako #here there be gerblins #medium: digital #lettering #taako is probably the least visually fixed of the THB for me #I might figure him out as I keep drawing but I am actually enjoying not having a specific idea about how he looks

Three weeks ago, a friend convinced me to start listening to The Adventure Zone...I’m now halfway through my second listen & can’t stop drawing them.

I only just realized that the color scheme I chose for this kinda makes him look like a drow? I don’t have a fixed concept for any of them, so I just thought it would be neat to try a random skin color like purple, but then I had to keep tweaking it so it would balance okay with everything else, and this is what I got.

ANYWAY that’s a long-winded way to say I know he’s a high elf, this is defo not the last time I’m drawing my favourite flipwizard, I have at least a dozen other Taako designs & palettes I want to try out. I actually have another one to upload right after this.

I’ve been getting back into Night Vale lately & have also had a lot of boring meetings lately, so I decided to turn one of my doodles into a finished piece. I’m pretty happy with how this came out! I might make it a print at some point.

#also this is the first art I've finished in approximately a billion years #so yay?#lettering #welcome to night vale #medium: digital

Don’t know if this counts for inktober, but I drew this on the way out from Chicago.

#I can't draw vehicles. it's a problem.#inktober2016

I drew this while rewatching Hannibal S3. I really wish we’d gotten more Chiyoh, though tbh there was so much going on I don’t know where it would’ve fit in!

Prints etc.

Detail:

#hannibal #chiyoh #medium: digital #'how many fireflies is too many fireflies' I asked myself #I did not come up with a satisfactory answer #I also thought about adding some snails but I think they'd have been lost #aaaand not that I'm actually thinking about a Hannibal tarot deck but Chiyoh would defs be the High Priestess #a gatekeeper to the mystic realm #quiet patience; passivity as a virtue #yeah okay fine I do have a spreadsheet casting the major arcana #not gonna do anything about it though

some Chiyoh facial studies. I’m working up to a full Chiyoh piece, hopefully! it’s just good to have my tablet plugged in again. it’s been a few days since I had the time to sketch.

#hannibal #chiyoh #doodles #fun fact: her face is unrecognisable without the heavy eye makeup!

Doing this kind of swoopy disassembled lettering is a lot of fun! There’s probably a technical term for it that I don’t know.

#hamilton #eliza hamilton #eliza schulyer #burn #lettering #medium: digital #I actually painted the dress in a lot of detail before stepping back and going #this is nowhere near dramatic enough #so obvs the solution is to abuse the fuck out of gradients

I love this podcast so much

#alice isn't dead #this is EXTREMELY DIFFERENT than what I had in mind when I sat down two hours ago #I was gonna do a fairly detailed art nouveau type thing #very polished with a strong geometric structure #but this is what I drew instead. so.#life is weird! art is weird! I don't know what I'm doing.#medium: digital

It is actually a HUGE PAIN to letter in photoshop. I’ve been working on this for over 5 hours now, which is an irresponsible amount of time.

This...might actually be the first fully finished art I’ve posted to this blog. And of course it’s 16x9 landscape so it’s barely visible as a thumbnail...I’m gonna go ahead and be totally self-indulgent by including a portrait crop of Burr.

ETA: Prints, tshirts, mugs, and laptop skins now available at Society6!

#hamilton #aaron burr #lettering #medium: digital #I miiiight fuck with the colours some more. no promises.#but I mean when is anything I do ever 'done'#what does 'done' mean anyway #oh also I have started putting my tumblr url as a signature because I kinda feel like I should have been doing that all along #instead of going 'ehhhh this is just a doodle'

I guess this is a thing I do now!

I was going to make an ink splotch come out of the end of the quill but it was *dramatic pause* UNSATISFYING okay I’m done. sorry about that, that was not my finest hour.

ETA:decided to photoshop the inksplotch back in. that white space was just bothering me too much.

#hamilton #lettering #satisfied #well technically this is from the reynolds pamphlet #maybe I'll go back and add an ink splotch at some point #it does kind of throw the balance off I guess #medium: ink

I posted that last thing and was like, you know what, that is not a solid example of my lettering skills. I can do better than that & Hamilton deserves better than that. Hence, this!

It’s still a bit dodgy because I don’t understand real media or these new pens, but I’m pretty happy with how the colour turned out—I did the actual physical thing in blue so that I could invert it in photoshop and get the yellow-gold effect:

#hamilton #lettering #hurricane #for just a moooment #a yellow skyyyyyy #and yes I realise now that it's A hurricane not THE hurricane #but I'd already inked it by the time I realised it #medium: ink
