Daily Sketch Project Day 16 - Walrus Flying in the Sky

 Today's suggestion, after several previous attempts, comes from Jess, who requested a walrus flying in the sky.

I had two inverse ideas for this, with the other being people in a city looking up at a flying walrus, but that allowed less detail on said creature, so I opted for more of a walrus solo venture, as it soars through the clouds, over fields. I have no idea why it's in a temperate climate, but it probably has something to do with why it can fly in the first place. Never drawn a walrus before (so far as I can remember), so this was a fun new experience!

Thanks for the suggestion, Jess, and thanks for your persistence! I'm glad I could finally get this drawn. I hope you like it!

Tomorrow's suggestion will come from tumblr. Keep watch on tumblr tomorrow at 12PM PST for my next post!  

Daily Sketch Project Day 15 - Alpacas

Hello there! Today’s suggestion comes from Laura and she requested “A super cute herd of alpacas.” Unfortunately in the composition of the thing I think I lost track of the super cuteness, so I think I drew more of a herd of alpacas than a super cute one, and for that I apologize. Any cuteness there is only because Alpacas are naturally adorable, as I’ve discovered more than ever, when finding references for this drawing. And they’re fun to and pretty easy to draw, because they’re so insanely fluffy. Just lots of ovals and circles, hahah. Twas great fun!

Not as cute as they could and should have been, but I hope you like it, Jibblie! And I hope all of the rest of you folk like it too!

Keep an eye out here on tomorrow at noon PST for my next post on facebook and Wednesday on tumblr!  

 

 

Daily Sketch Project Day 14 - Jesus Not Rising

So today's prompt comes from Edward, who suggested the title of today's post. Now given the obvious interpretation, that's a dark prompt, whether you look at it from a religious perspective, or that of those who loved him. And while there's something to be said for speculative history and appreciating things by imagining their absence, on a day I find joyful, I couldn't bring myself to interpret it so dourly.

SO what you get instead is Jesus getting some much-needed rest and sleeping in. "Not rising," get it???? :DDDD He's been working hard and if anybody deserves a little extra shut-eye, it's this guy!  Though he was a man, it seems like I rarely see any depiction of his, what we'd think of as more "human" qualities, as opposed to divine ones.  Everybody's gotta sleep! 

I did some cursory research on more historically accurate ideas of what Jesus might have looked like and used those as inspiration in lieu of the typical European, art-based image that tends to come to mind.

Thanks Eddie, for the very interpretable prompt and Happy Easter again to all, and tune in Tuesday for my next facebook post at noon PST! Tomorrow's prompt will come from tumblr : )

Daily Sketch Project Day 13 - Munchkin Kitten Playing with a Butterfly

So today’s prompt comes courtesy of Sonya, who suggested I draw a munchkin kitten playing with a butterfly, and so here is that drawing grin emoticon I guess we needed something adorable to balance out the dark ennui of yesterday’s Diablo offering!

Drawing the cuteness almost killed me, but I somehow survived. I hope you all do as well colonthree emoticon

Keep your eyes open tomorrow at noon PST  on facebook for my next post!

Thanks to Sonya and everyone who participates! Couldn’t do it without ya!  

Daily Sketch Project Day 12 - Diablo Eating Hot Wings and Questioning His Decisions

So today we have something a little different, that I found quite fun. Brandon got their first, asking for "DIABLO" (this could be interpreted any number of ways, but I chose the Blizzard version), then Ryu put in that he should be eating hot wings and David added that he should be questioning his decisions while doing so. Those adendums didn't violate Brandon's right to have his suggestion drawn, so I used all three to come up with this! I gues Diablo's going through some stuff.

The idea of multiple people contributing to an idea has appeal to me, so I might try to work out a way to do that in the future, with some, if not all, of the Daily Sketch prompts.

Thanks for the inspiration, gentlemen! I hope you like it!

Tomorrow's suggestion will come from tumblr, and watch out at noon PST on Easter Sunday for my next facebook post!  

 

Daily Sketch Project Day 11 - Koalaotters

Today’s prompt comes from Alison, and she suggested that I draw my favorite hyrbid animal from Avatar.  I went and looked through the list on the Avatar Wiki, and I gotta say, it’s hard to beat Koalaotters.  A combination of two of the most adorable animals this world of ours has to offer?  Yeah.  I can dig it. 

And so, as you can see here, a calm surface belies the frenzy of activity beneath.  While one takes a rest, the rest of the raft are having a glorious fun time down below. 

Thanks for the suggestion, Alison!  I had a great time with it :3 

Tomorrow’s suggestion comes from facebook, but watch out on Saturday at 12PM PST for my next post here! 

Daily Sketch Project Day 10 - Kittens with Katanas

It's day ten of DSP, and better late than never! Today was a bit busy, so I just got this done. Today's prompt comes from mah buddy airwapple, who previously commented asking for "kittens with katanas." Today she asked for kittens, so I figured I'd put katanas in just in case.

Better watch out. It looks like these little folks mean business! I love cats, but I don't often draw them, so this was quite fun, and adorable to reference.

Thanks for the suggestion, wapple! This was quite fun. Tomorrow's prompt will come from tubmlr, and watch out on facebook on Friday at 12PM PST for my next post here!
