The State of DisUnion Sketch blog!

[justasillynerd]

A bit of art born out of my frustration with people "debunking" the tales of Georgia resident's saying the found themselves removed from the voter Registration after Nov 3rd.

Yeah, no one thinks it's offical, and CERTAINLY no one thonks it's leagal.

But as a Texan who found who's registration was removed *after* the last day to register back in 2000 (along with hundreds of other college age voters in a heavily republican city- offically due to "system error") and who has had to argue with officals that yes I am fucking registered to vote, "official" and "legal" mean squat.

Just because it's not official or not legal doesn't mean it can't happen, so check your voter status regularly and for the live of god

VOTE IN THE RUN OFF!!

We can't have more Moscow Mitch!!

Florida, covering Texas's eyes: Guess who!

Texas: It's either Florida or the cold, clammy hands of death.

Florida: It's Florida!

Texas: Dang it!

Here is a quick sketch of Iowa, done while watching Drag Race.

Not sure why that inslired Iowa as he is in the list of top 10 least likely characters to be in drag, but hey.

He also kinda looks like Steve Rogers here lol.

I did a sketch of Hopi last night.

I had a question about why I gave her "Princess Leia Buns," back when I did the comic with her i it

annnnddd ack

they aren't really like that at all, and I apologize if my art skills in the comic were not good enough to convey the difference (in fact in this sketch they are too low, as I sketched from memory not a reference last night)

But the style I am basing her hair on here is a traditional style and actually quite different from what Princess Leia wears.

As you can see below

Ok starting the Holiday Countdown Art. Let's see how far I get this year!!

I may try to focus on my Webcomic OCs (since I can't seem to get an actual comic done 🙄) but we shall see!

Starting us out is one of my OCs, Montana

But please enjoy this watercolor of our first state, Delaware. :)

More playing around with my new stylus in media bang

I sketched a threatening looking North Carolina.... or South Carolina dressed as his brother because they do that sometimes to confuse people.

Quick sketch of Oklahoma to prepare for the return of @stateofdisunion :)

Working to get more art creatrd since the Newbaby, even if it is just sketches …. specifically wanting to get back to my webcomic @stateofdisunion

To the aim, here are some state character sketches. Started with Illinois (I have the urge to sketch her whenever I watch Drag Race because of the lack of Drag Kings :/ ) and expanded to the other two.

(Michigan’s fashion is inspired by the fashion of Japanese Muslim Rahmalia Aufa Yazid).

Advent Day #12 “Happy Hanukkah,Lovelies,” ( @stateofdisunion, New York) For the first day of Hanukkah, I wanted to draw one of my two Jewish Characters (Colorado is the other). I have at least three or four scripts for comics that hopefully get drawn that deal with Jewish American history, and so this hopefully helps push me to complete those.   For this picture, I wanted to do something a little different. I seem to use a Menorah a lot, or other traditional images, which makes since, but a lot of my Christmas art is Christmas just by virtue of Red, Green, and Gold. So, I thought I’d do the same for at least one of the Hanukkah pieces, and New York was the perfect character for that as she would go with Style over Tradition any day. 

Not that anything is wrong with tradition, but I wanted to changed things up.  Also, this is currently my favorite picture this year.
