I like to draw things sometimes

Hey! My name is George and I draw sometimes. You'll probably see fan art from various YouTube series, TV shows and games I like. You can also take a gander at my personal blog, http://gthing64.tumblr.com

Well it’s been a while hasn’t it?  I’ve been drawing quite a bit through these past few months (mostly through pages and pages and files and files of scribbles and doodles though) but not really uploading anything here.  I hope to change that (how many times have I said that?!) so here is a drawing I did of @sonicmega‘s character from the new Zelda game, which I have been playing to death.  This guy is a dick but I love him (Revali that is.  His VA is the nicest)  Wanted to experiment on the style since there’s been so much Zelda fanart out recently and after watching the new gorillaz video I really wanted to do something lineless so here we are!  Thanks for reading my rambles. ^-^

Got a new cat recently and decided to paint the lil’ fluff ball.  Was fun going for a more detailed/realistic style than usual.

I’m back after a short break with a short test for a new CSP brush I found!  My current look in Splatoon plus Sorrel by @tamarinfrog because I was watching her stream when I started drawing this.  (and making a slight fool of myself in the chat haha)

Definitely want to do more brush experiments like these.

So... that last post kinda blew up.  I wanna thank everyone who liked and reblogged it and especially those who followed me.  I’m sorry I haven’t been able to update this blog at all since, but Christmas, New Year and Uni assignments kinda got in the way.  More details here.  So... what’s the atrocity above this block of text?  Why on earth am I scarring your mind with Barney snogging Optimus Prime?  Well, let me tell you a story.

For about 5 and a half years I’ve been an avid fan of the YouTuber @josiahclark/Blinkkandyoumissit.  I’ve already made a drawing for him on this blog so just scroll down a few posts to see it.  About two weeks ago, he posted an open request on Twitter for “a piece of fan art” to feature in a video.  Desperate for drawing ideas, I responded.  The next day, on the bus home from a Christmas shopping trip, I got a message on Twitter.  I then realised what I got my self into.  My head immediately started to buzz about how I was to realise this incredible idea for a work of art.  Only once I got of the bus I and begun the trek home did I start to come to terms with the fact that I may have a problem.

Couple of fun facts:  I had to google the phrase “making out” since it’s not exactly common ‘round these parts.  You Americans make it sound way worse than it is.  Not that it isn’t already freakin’ weird.

Also, I did this all in one night.  I was that determined to pull this vision through.  And it just so happened that on that night I was to look after my younger sister.  Who was in my room at the time using Google to get drawing references for Winnie the Pooh while her big brother sat next to her drawing a purple dinosaur passionately kiss a giant robot from outer space.  I am a great brother.

And may it be known that these are not characters that are easy to draw together.  Barney’s massive nonce and Optimus’ bulky robobody aren’t exactly the easiest to draw together, and especially not in such an intimate pose.  And how do I get the proportions of Barney and Optimus Prime right?  Do I make Barney costume-sized or dino sized?  And most importantly of all, should Sonic come in and make this a threesome or would that overcomplicate things?

Anyway, here’s the final video.  Thanks for reading this mess.

That last series of Doctor Who was incredible so I had to draw something for it.  Again.  Wanted to experiment with colour for this and I’m pretty proud with how it turned out.

As a windows user, I quite like logging on the my uni’s macs and seeing some rather nice imagery.  So one of the default backgrounds.

For our uni work, we were told to listen to music and create something visual from it focusing on composition and colour.  I listened to Avicii’s The Nights and went overboard yet still finished it in about 40 minutes, which I’m pretty proud of.

Drew a DnD character.  A dragonborn cleric with acid breath.  ‘Cause why not?

And now for something completely different... logo design!  Tried my hand at using illustrator and created this from a pixel art template I made a few months back.

If you didn't already know, NX is the codename for Nintendo’s next potential system.  I’d seen a lot of representations of the name around the web and decided to have a go at my own.  Feel free to use this in your work as long as you CREDIT me! ^^

Challenge accepted.  What do you mean, “what challenge”?

Mr. Attack Eyebrows.  I’ve been messing around a lot with a more sketchy style in Clip Studio recently and wanted to attempt something a bit more realistic/more detailed.
