A Sharpie Died for this Post

There's a bit of a story behind this post. It feels a little weird to say publicly on the internet, but I honestly think giving the background for these makes them a lot more interesting than they would be otherwise.

One day I was having a bad panic attack, and I decided to try and work through it by drawing as quickly as I could without thinking about what I was drawing at all until I felt back to normal. Here's what came out of that, in chronological order:

More Doodles Because That's How I Do

I'm just gonna put the rest of what I have laying around in my "doodles" folder on here. Why not!

So here we go.

First is a drawing of my two cats, Sputnik and El Cid. This is a pretty accurate representation of their daily interactions:


The rest of these are pretty random, and huuuuge and long:

Various POKEMON Doodles

I... actually have a lot of doodles/sketches on my harddrive that I haven't posted. Hmm. I always keep forgetting to do it.

Looking through my doodle folder I noticed a lot of them were related to Pokemon, so, that is the theme of this doodle post!

I tend to draw my Pokemon a lot angrier looking than they are in the games or anime. If I was stuck in a ball all day and ordered around by a 10 year old, I'd be angry too.







The above is my imaginary team I'd have as a Gym Leader, consisting of ONLY CAT POKEMON. I'd give out the hairball badge.



That last one is Bowser, who very much is not a pokemon. He was saved in the same folder, though, so I figured why not upload him too. If Bowser WAS a Pokemon, he'd sure be on my team.

I have a sketchbook that I've been working on forever. It will be forever again before I eventually manage to fill it, so I went ahead and scanned some pages that I have:








The above is very accurate.





...No comment.

Drawn upon a request from my younger cousin. Emo hair, emo bear... get it?

Aslan's the only one who came back.

Also drawn for my cousin. She asked if my little black sketchbook was a Death Note. I told her it was a Death Nose, which is much better. Somehow.

School Work

Here's a few things I did for my classes this year:

One of our Illustration projects was to draw someone famous. I drew Danny Elfman. For some reason it feels weird to me when you draw someone who is still alive.


The above is an acrylic painting for a different class. It doesn't really make any sense, I know. It was based off of a dream I had, and my dreams are always weird.
This last painting... well. It's a lion. Hopefully you could tell that.

Majora's Mask Pumpkin

Now it's time for the second pumpkin I carved this year...
72 HOURS REMAIN


I attempted to carve a pumpkin based on the moon from the old n64 game, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. That game has always reminded me of Halloween, and the moon from it is quite possibly the most terrifying thing to ever be in an E rated game. Seemed appropriate as a pumpkin design.

I've always gone at pumpkins the traditional way; carving out spots for light to shine through, etc. After seeing some of the amazing things people have done with pumpkins, I wanted to try my hand at actual "carving." So, here's my first shot at it, done with a clay carving tool I found in my supplies. I'm already excited to try it again next year.

Here he is lit up. I didn't have any candles, so I improvised with a red glowstick and a mini-flashlight. Sorry for the photo quality, my camera isn't exactly top of the line.

Playing around with the angle:

The lighting:



Then both:


Finally, since my blacklight was right there, I tried seeing what it would look like with a UV light source:



Well, that's it for Halloween 2010.
