Portrait I Drew This Afternoon. It Started Out As A Warmup, But Turned Into A Little Exercise. When I
Portrait I drew this afternoon. It started out as a warmup, but turned into a little exercise. When I draw, I'm usually very sketchy. When I want to do something with a little more finish, I do a moderately-sketchy drawing, and ink it as neatly as I'm able. It's a bad habit, and one I've been trying to correct for... well, years now. So I tried to get things as neat as I could reasonably manage.
Came out okay... better than my usual, at least. If I'd been sensible, I would have used something softer than an H2.
This is Caleb, pilot of an interplanetary courier shuttle. It's a bit of a hotrod: all engines and reactor, minimal cargo and passenger capacity. His parents operate a large mining operation in an asteroid field but he wants to prove his competence before taking over the family business, so he's taking some time to make it on his own and earn a reputation. Fielders are big on that sort of thing.
I freakin' love Huskies.
I just noticed that I forgot to add some black around his right eye. Blorg.

I’m betting they all list each other as dependants. X3
How does Multiple Man file his income taxes? Does the IRS consider all his multiples as different taxpayers or do they all have collaborate and pitch in on one return file?
First decent shot of James. I usually avoid curtained hair like an old cliche, but it just seems to work for him. The inking went pretty well.
Principal character for a future comic.
I need to do more studies of bats. Argh.
First real piece of MLP fan art I've done.
Ideas are like demons. They can't be ignored, and they can't be destroyed. The only way to get rid of them is to exorcise them. In my case, by drawing.
I don't know why people picture muses as smexy babes in flimsy drapery.

Well, I finally got my internet all hooked up at home. You know what that means?
We's gonna be Livestreamin's tonight! Probably 4 or 5 hours from now... That's gonna be around 6:30PM (Eastern Standard Time) for me, 5:30 for those of you in on the east coast of the US, 4:30 in the central US and Mexico, and 6:30AM for those of you in the middle of Russia or Indonesia.
Still taking suggestions/requests for what to do! I'm gonna be drawing stuff this afternoon and screwing around with it digitally for the Livestream... if you'd like to see something, now's the time to speak up. Ask and Submit buttons are right over, you know how to use 'em. I might take requests in the stream, but I'd rather do the drawing and inking on paper in advance (I have a webcam, so I may be able to stream some traditional work. I don't have any of it actually set up yet, tho, so that's speculative at this point).
One thing in particular: If anyone has B/W or grayscale lineart they'd like to see coloured and rendered, I'd totally be up for doing some of that.
At any rate... see you there!
This is one of my favourite poems. ^_^
Happy Hallow' indeed!
Happy Halloween, folks!
Okay, some more alpaca pictures. There were three of them.
They're really soft. Shy, tho, so I didn't wanna pester them too much.
Quick little study of my hand, 5-10 mins. Hands seem to put most artists on guard, but I love drawing 'em. Well, maybe more of a love-hate thing. I wasted half my time in high-school drawing my left hand.
Sweet Celestia in a bucket... when I sketch, I just fling lead everywhere, don't I? Tho, some of that is actually hair on my knuckles. I'm kinda scruffy.
Does that mean this counts as furry art? Guh.
Mod pic! Because reasons.
People don't really seem to believe me when I say that I usually look like a total psycho... you be the judge.
I'm not in a bad mood or anything here... this is just my typical "game face" whenever I'm drawing. I'm not kidding: I spend eight hours a day staring at my sketchbook like this... small wonder I get eyestrain so often.
Kay, so... Math geeks, I could use some help here.
You know how the Fibonacci sequence approaches the golden ratio? I've seen this mentioned all over the place.
A while ago, I was messing around with golden triangles/gnomons. The golden ratio is a:b=a+b:a, right? Well, by adding more and more golden gnomons to a golden triangle, you get more and more side lengths that are in golden ratio to each other. The sequence looks like this: b, a, a+b, 2a+b, 3a+2b, 5a+3b, 8a+5b, 13a+8b...
Now, the thing is, each of these terms are the sum of the two previous ones. Just like the Fibonacci sequence, except using a and b as seed values... it doesn't just approach the golden ratio, tho, it is in golden ratio.
Now, I'm feelin' kinda clever for figuring this out on my own, but I heavily doubt that I'm the first person to notice it. I have yet to find any mention of it anywhere, though... I don't suppose anyone knows of a source/reference/precedent?
Little sketch of another character. I spent a few hours working on military and law-enforcement gear for this setting I'm developing.
Not sure what this guy's name is... I'm calling him Galen for now, but it doesn't sit right with me.
