Daily Sketch Project Day 43 - JohnVris

Hey folks!  Today's prompt comes from Laura, who has asked for some JohnVris, A.K.A. the pairing of John Egbert and Vriska Serket from Homestuck.  For whatever reason, inspiration was doing it's best to be elusive today, even with such an exciting prompt, which I love to draw, and don't draw enough.  Went through several ideas, and started on one before realizing that it was almost the exact same as the Destiel sketch I did here before.  That was rather disheartening, but eventually, I decided to draw them having a rather spirited matchup in a video game of some sort, Vriska doing whatever it takes to win.  Looks like they're having a good time, no matter who's winning :3 

I wish this looked better.  I'm not all that satisfied with it, sadly :\  I'm sorry Laura, I hope you and everybody else like it anyway. 

Next call for prompts will go up in a few minutes.  Submit there between then and noon to enter into tomorrow's sketch lotto, and yours may soon find itself drawn by yours truly!

Daily Sketch Project Day 42 - First Fanart Rehash: Dontatello

Hey errybody!  Today's prompt comes from J’dee, who asked for a re-hash of my first fanart.  Now I can't be sure what my actual first fanart was, but the first drawing of mine I can clearly remember was a ninja turtle, and given that Donatello is far and away my favorite, I'm guessing it must have been him.  Back in pre-school times, maybe before, I drew a lot of ninja turtle heads and Batmobiles.  Dunno which came first, but it was basically TMNT and Batman all the time.  SO I decided to draw dear Donny.  I always remember drawing them with that kind of mouth, so that's the one I put down.  I have a feeling I might have been referencing the TMNT comic book calendar I had for reference back then, but I never read the original comics as far as I can remember, but boy did I watch the tv show.  So I drew 1987-style Donatello.  And to keep it fairly similar to those first fanarts, I thought I oughtn't draw anything more than a bust view.  This gave me more time to work on the limited view I put down, so I made this my first DSP color sketch!  Got to go in and add me some chroma and shading even!  Still the time went faster than I thought it would, so the "D" there could use a little work and color as well, but such is often the fate of timed drawing. 

Hope everyone likes it! Thanks for the fun suggestion, J'deeeee grin emoticon It's always wonderful to draw the Turtle boys.

Day 43 prompt post goes up around midnight and will be open for ideas until noon. Get in your prompt there for a chance at seeing it drawn tomorrow!

Daily Sketch Project Day 41 - Peguin with a Top Hat, Monocle, and Book

Hey there my peoples!  Today’s prompt comes from Sam, who put in this suggestion quite a bit ago, and it’s finally coome to fruition!  She asked for what the title says, and I found that finishing the penguin and book sketch itself didn’t take long, so I decided to give him an environment.  As it turns out I gave myself TOO much to do there, so it went from something done early to something not so complete as I’d liked it.  I guess I could have just spent all my time on the penguin figure and made it a nicer painting sort of thing, but…  I dunno once the penguin was reading this giant tome, I started picturing him in a vast library or study, researching something or other with great fervor.  I don’t know into what he’s delving, but it seems like very serious business.  So there should be books on those sketched in shelves behind him, but you’ll need to use your imaginations to see them.
Also, I decided to go with a rockhopper penguin, in lieu of their more universally known cousins, the emperor penguins.  Rockhoppers are fun little guys with fascinating eyebrow-like feathers.  It gave this dapper fellow a serious look, that’s for certain.

So I hope you like it Sam, and that everyone else does too.  Thanks for your patience, and I hope it was worth the wait!  : )

Next suggestion post goes up around midnight (or sometime after depending on how busy my night is), but you’ll have from its posting to noon to make new suggestions to get into the sketch lotto!

Daily Sketch Project Day 40 - Doctor(s) v. Nyarlathotep(s)

Hey folks, sorry for the lateness of posting today, but here's l'sketch!  The prompt comes from my buddy Chris, who wanted to see The Doctor's various incarnations taking on the many forms of H.P. Lovecrafts Nyarlathotep in a triple game of speed chess, mahjong, and poker, and here is what I got down!  Ideally, this would be much wider and you'd get to see all the various forms of each doing battle, but I wanted it to be readable, so most had to hint at the idea while focusing more on one specific matchup.  The Doctor's forms are all human-ish (and I had to give the spotlight to the tragically underrated Ninth Doctor), but Nyarlathotep...well he's got variety.  Tentacled blobs, putrid mists, jellyfish-like creatures, pharaohs, the list goes on. 

Thanks for the excellent suggestion, Sir Christopher!  I hope very much that you and everyone like it! 

Post for tomorrow's going up momentarily!
