Big Brown Sketch Book

Sketch Book Tiems!


Rip Van Wrinkle sketch, via Hellsing.


Life drawings. My friend's TV (missing buttons and cables) and her Canson camera. My fox plushy "Jacques" and my last can of Mountain Dew :(


My fiance' Ryan's characters Clayton and Misaki, of Clayton Chronicles. I still have trouble drawing Clayton but at least Misaki and her kimono came out nicely.


Some clothing studies of people while I was waiting for my next class at Shafer. My second class was canceled but I didn't know until I got there so I had two hours to kill until my painting class. (these only took about 10 minutes to do) I was lugging around a bag of supplies and a three foot tall painting around so it was nice to let it sit for a bit.


Some heads of Alex, another character of my fiance'. A doodle of Bayonetta shooting kittens out of her heels (inside joke with some friends), and some 'Or Maybe Not' sketches for the new zombie story arch I hope to work on soon. Having some fun with the red pen :P


A lulzy doodle of my Werewolf: Apocalypse character, Luana, scolding Perry (a freind's Fianna) who she finds sleeping on her door step. Really I just wanted to draw her little muffin top hips and tattoos. So cute. I think I should have given Perry actual eyes :P

Busy Busy Bee

So school is up and running again and it turns out I have a shit-ton of reading to do for classes. I haven't had much time for sketching lately but I have a few things to share. I'm also up to page 5 of "Run Ramla Run" but I'm not sure I can continue it since I haven't played Scion:Hero nor do I "know" Saturday enough to keep writing him in this comic. I do like it so we'll see where it goes.

Recent stuffs:







Pages 3-5 of Run Ramla Run







My good friend Erin now has an 11"x17" scanner so next time I'm over there I'll scan all the pages properly and post them at my deviantart. I spent a lot of time on them so I think they belong there. I may even go back and correct some things on the actual pages. Saturday's face looks off on a panel or two.
Hopefully I'll have more work soon!

A little held up

You may have noticed that my weekly sketch post is late. I just moved out of the dorm and 90% of my stuff is still in my dad's truck (including the scanner). We should be getting it out today, and then Friday we're having company so this one will be about a week late D: Sorry guys, but hopefully this means I'll have more to post!

In other news I've found a place to live next fall semester! Yay! It's a small house that I'll be sharing with my friends and a guy who's parents own it. He's nice so I think this'll work out just gravy :)

I'm also trying to start up Clayton Chronicles soon. I want to get as much done this summer as possible! Between chores and Ryan working I should have plenty of time. Here's hoping.

Pictures and Plans

Here's a few new 'finished' pieces from Deviantart that I've done recently.
I love markers <3


Super Friends by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

Here's a new character I'm developing as a villain for my half elf Kale. She still doesn't' have a name yet.

I wanna be evil I wanna be bad by ~Spork-Bunny on deviantART

So after this weekend I've got four more weeks at school. It's a little worrying because I wanted to redo a few design projects and touch up some drawing projects so I'm gonna have to manage my time wisely. I've also written up a schedule for when I'm taking what objects home from my dorm. It pays to organize, even though dad says "do it all at once, that's what I got the truck for!" :P

I also got a new sketchbook! (always happy news) It's a bigger hardcover, thicker than I usually get, sketchbook so I'm hoping it lasts a little longer than the micron pen books I've been getting. (They're nice but pretty thin so I go through them quickly).
I also want to decorate it but I'm not sure what to put on it yet. The cover is textured so it might not take stickers so well...

To do this weekend:
+ work on book jacket project
+ prime canvas and do color tests for painting
+ finish Alex's T-shirt design sketches and prepair for scanning
+ tweak previous design poster project (get it printed?)


I've also been thinking about my plans for the summer.
(without job)
+ work on Clayton Chronicles comic
+ do Cubeecraft toys of whole Clayton Chronicles cast
+ finish bookmarks from last summer and do new ones
+ work on layouts for Clockwork Queen
+ research getting web-space/web-page
+ Do downloadable wallpapers for comics
+ save up money for an 11"x17" scanner (almost there!)
+ Start working on pitch packet for Clayton Chronicles
+ Rework Clockwork Queen pitch packet
(with job)
+ work on Clayton Chronicles
+ research getting web-space
+ save up for scanner and other tools
+ CWQ layouts?
+ Start working on pitch packet for Clayton Chronicles

That's the plan

Cube Vision

I seem to be updating the VCU blog more often this one now D: But that just means I don't have as much time for personal arts, however I do have a photo of an assignment for my software class that I just finished. I had to make an original Cubeecraft paper toy so I made one of Clayton from Clayton Chronicles. I'm pretty proud of it (the cutting job could have been a bit better but overall it's a good first try) so this means that I want to make the whole cast now... lets hope I can at least make a few :P



I think I'll also make a fully 3-dimensional version of his hat. This flat one does not please me :/ As I make them I'll post the templates so people can download them and make them themselves.

I'm also still working on my black and white art book (finished 2/24 illustrations so far) and I'm doing layouts for the first chapter of Clayton Chronicles. Hopefully I'll get a class on how to make a website so I can make one for the comic. I'm also hoping to finish the first chapter of CC this summer (fully inked and everything). I think it'll be great practice, plus it needs to get started!

I'm also open for commissions!
All my info is found here!

Bookmark #5- Patrick

I just finished coloring book mark #5 of Patrick.



Next up is the star of Clayton Chronicles, Clayton himself :P Then it will be Rose the barmaid and Ankia in Egyptian wear.

Also: My Bristol Board just arrived! :D I can start the comic pages after/during the bookmarks! *o*

A DA facelift, bookmarks and stickers

I decided to make a new ID for my Deviantart page today:



Or see it here with commentary! The colors remind me of Magnito now that's done but that's not a bad thing.

I've got batch 3 of the Clayton Chronicles bookmarks drawn and inked. This is the next four in the series. I think that will be all for now, I don't want to make too many for now. Next I'll be doing about 4 or so Clockwork Queen bookmarks and a sticker. The sticker will be a chibi version of Sarah Winters (as a robot) with a little gear for a halo then it will say "Clockwork Queen" underneath it. I have it drawn and inked already, I just need to scan and color it and put the title underneath it. I'm really excited. I plan on making the stickers through Paper Forest eventually.

Well I better head off now, I can hear a storm coming outside : / I hate summer storms but we do need the rain...

CC: Book Marks batch 2

I am on fire with these book marks! :D

Today I colored the Ashley and Legarna bookmarks that I posted the line art of in my DA gallery a few weeks ago. I used the same coloring techniques as the last pair of bookmarks and I really like how they came out :)



Again the bookmarks printed out on cardstock came out lighter than they look on the computer but I still like them. These ones came out a little thinner and slightly taller since the file I was working with was bigger.



I've got some designs for book marks of some of the male characters next.
Stay tuned!

Clayton Chronicles: Revving up

Today I colored a pair of bookmarks I had drawn of Misaki, the snow leopard swords-woman, and Vespa the sorceress via PhotoShop.

I was really proud when I drew these and seeing them colored now is really exciting to me. I never really had a coloring style for the computer so I was really happy with the results of today's 'experiment' in computer coloring. I used to rely on the dodge and burn tool too much for making something seem three dimensional so this flat method of coloring is a huge improvement.



Here is a screen cap of how the colors look on the computer.
When I printed them they came out lighter, but still nice.



And here is a montage of Clayton Stuff that has been going down lately.



After my new bristol board arrives, more work will be done on the pages for Clayton Chronicles. 8D Hopefully some more work on Clockwork Queen too. Fingers crossed with school coming up.
