I am never going to run out of old sketches...

you'd think I have a finite amount of old crap to post, but no. I really should have stuck this all at the beginning of the blog, but I'm just not that on top of things and you may as well know it.

I wanted to play upright bass sooooo bad when I was little. I didn't quite get that you had to learn on violin first tho, and ended up in band instead. Lame.


I still love the Frozen Expression of Surprise Ward.


This is pretty much still the case today.


Also still the case.

I WANT A PEGCAT.

Replace 'animator' with 'illustrator' and the self portrait is still pretty accurate.

And some kitties to finish it off. WHY NOT.

Embarassing Fanart

Yami No Matsuei is solid terrible fangirl fanservice pretty much nonstop, but oooohhhhh, I watched it. I tried to read it, but the artwork is so hideously flowery and sparkly I just couldn't hang.

One thing about this series that IS totally awesome is that the main villain dude was keeping his brother's severed head floating around in a big jar, so that one day he can bring his brother back to life, and then kill him. That's the best needlessly complex utterly pointless plan ever.

Liking Carmen Sandiego isn't that embarrassing; everybody played it in grade school, and who doesn't love Rockapella's stirring rendition of the game show theme? Butttt...I've never actually played the game. I'd always just kind of appreciated it in theory. In my defense, I am utterly weak against the gentleman thief/outlaw detective archetype. I HEART THEM ALL.

And oh yes, I watched the fairly terrible Saturday morning cartoon.

I think ReBoot was pretty decent for what it was and when it was made. Hex holds up as a quality villain, for instance. At least she did, until the whole series went completely batshit early in season 4. Still though, I've driven through Kitsilano and felt a nerdy little thrill over it. Nar.

Growing up with Great Danes, I sort of feel like I have to love Scooby Doo. It was a pretty terrible show, though, let's not kid ourselves.

Kimi Wa Pet (Tramps Like Us in the US, for some reason) is actually pretty good, and I still like it. But it's a cutesty romantic comedy, which is a weird thing for me to be enjoying.

I feel like this is from 2004

I'm moving the sketchbook part of my site here, which means super old art! Also, holy shit embarrassing. I think this is around the time I decided I was going to learn to color stuff digitally. As you can see, this endeavour was met with limited success.

Unfinished self-portrait for something. I really like the sound effect 'hurf'.

The original Inguen mascot, this is pretty much a life drawing of an antique nightlight I own, but do not under any circumstances, use.

I've kind of always really liked deer and weird facial expressions.

I'd say I'm also pretty partial to brown.

Check out that default Photoshop brush action!

This is the only thing I've ever been able to make work in openCanvas. I love the idea of the program, and I love what other people seem to be able to do with it, but I seriously cannot make it obey me.

A piece of fanart I did for some webcomic that I sort of liked at some point. I can't remember what it was about, but I think this guy was an anthropomorphic lobster, which is pretty ballsy.
