I MADE WRITANS

So instead of coloring my new picture, I wound up spending the past few days writing the first chapter of the scenario for those two kids in my last post. Surprisingly, it was really fun and easy to write, and just sort of flowed out easily, which has never happened ever. Not sure what I'll call it yet, but it'll probably be a chronicle of some kind, so I'll just call it "Chronicle" for now.

Feed me, Seymour!

Blagh, long pause between updates again. I didn't have an idea for a good picture for the longest time, but I got one and have been working on it. Currently just beginning the coloring stage. In the meantime, I thought I might feed the blog with some sketches of stuff I've drawn recently or things I just never got around to scanning. Didn't bother to clean them up any.

Also, oddly enough I've actually whipped up two smaller pictures in the meantime as well that I'll probably color two, both featuring the dudes in the last picture.

MONEY, DEAR BOY

Firth needed money. Desperately, in fact. Though he already had a fair share of cash from being a traveling merchant, him and his "partner" (a giant bird with a knack for finding treasure) had recently landed themselves in a bit of a fix and now had an enormous fine to pay off for property damage. Unwilling to give up all his cash and live like a poor person for a while, he had decided to find another way to get enough cash to pay off his debt. Having heard legends of a unique creature capable of turning anything it touches into gold, him and his bird set out on a quest to find the legendary creature Midaros.

Surprisingly, they actually found it.......though that may not have been a good thing.

New picture/possible project

So I made another story-less picture of a monster I like, though there's a humen too. I've been drawing some mildly more realistic critters based off the anatomy of some animals lately and thinking of how humans could befriend/work with them, so I guess this means I have a possible picture project underway.

BONUS TIME: Experimental sketches of two pictures I'd like to make, both featuring a traveling merchant and his treasure-seeking bird:

Duality: OH SHIT I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING

So, Nanowrimo happened, and for once I decided to participate. However, instead of setting my goal at writing 50,000 words of a new novel, I simply used it to motivate my sorry ass to actually do something with Duality (well, okay, I had written most of the opening parts before, but I was extremely slow on that). So I set my goal at 15,000, and successfully managed to churn out some of the major scenes (or ones I wanted to write in the storyline).

Also, it made me realize a number of glaring plot flaws, and how it seems like so many of the characters only have fairly small roles in the actual story. Harsh, but necessary. It also gave me the idea of making a series of short sidestories about the various characters just doing silly things, along with the main storyline. Considering what a worthless asshole I am though, it remains to be seen how well that will work out.


These scenes are all in chronological order, despite all being entirely disconnected. Enjoy, I guess.

MASSIVE MONSTER DUMP

Yeah, since school started I've hit a massive monster-drawing high. It's so much fun to just draw things that have nothing to do with anything and just sorta standalone, though I do have a sort of framework in mind for most of these guys.

There's also some old stuff I never scanned, so yay.

RUN, COWARD

SO I DREW A DRAGON WHO LOOKS LIKE A WEEDY SEA DRAGON AND LIKED HIM SO I MADE HIM A PICTURE

This is still in that phase where it's mostly complete, but I still feel like it needs shit, but don't know what else to add. I feel like the magma needs more texture or something but have no clue how to add it. Also yay for experimenting with lighting and watercolors!

Anyway, I have two other big monsters I aim to do pictures like this one for. It's nice to just do a random picture that has nothing to do with anything.
