I call it 'Floating Sound Garden.'

Don't ask. I don't know. I also feel that this is to impressive a title for a rough little doodle like this:


Perhaps one day I shall recreate it and it will be worthy of its title.
Until then... doodle onward! *brandishes lance and rides off into the sunset on a turtle*

This is where I'd put my clever title if I had one.

Don't you love those little moments of inspiration, little moments of genius, that happen once every rare blue moon? And then they're nearly gone, and you're once again back to your old boring unclever self.

I had a bit of character inspiration while writing Part 12 of Bridie's domain - a perfect phrase, just for her, describing her relationship with Basil. It's a bit of a spoiler I guess, cause she hasn't said it quite yet, but I just had to whip out pixlr and make it something pinnable for my Bridie's Domain board, so I wouldn't forget it.


I don't even know, make what you like, I think it's perfect, and now I couldn't even think of a clever title so it just goes to show...

le Art Dump


Guess I'll just put these here:
Just a little
experiment
with a new
style
I love this sort of Disneyish style but I always forget about it and go back to my default style.

These are some characters for a story me and The Samster
are trying to write together.
Mostly just wanted proper faces. Please excuse Summer's awful proportions. I was too lazy to redraw her.
This is supposed to be the characters from
Diana Wynne Jone's last novel:
The Islands of Chaldea.
Or at least, how I imagined them to be.
The Islands of Chaldea was such a good book. I couldn't even tell where Diana left of and her sister began. The characters were perfect and I loved Plug-Ugly.

Angel. Copied from book 7 of the Maximum Ride manga.
It's been a while since I last picked up my pencil and drew something I'm genuinely proud of. This one felt good to draw.

White Crayola pencil crayon
on black construction paper.
I've always wanted to draw white on black, but I just never properly did until now. It was so much fun. This was based off Aslan off the cover of a Chronicles of Narnia collection. I like it so much I think I might frame it.
Angel from Maximum Ride manga #7.
This was so much fun to draw. It was something new and challenging, yet it turned out amazing and brought back the feeling I get each time I draw MR fanart.

Gasman, from the cover of MR #5.
Once I finished the sketch of this one, I hated it. It was awful, plain, and a waste of good paper. Then i took my finger and started smudging. And smudging. And lo and behold this emerged and now I love it.

So yup same old same old I'm not going to bore you with an update. Go read Bridie's Domain, etc. etc.
