Here they are: click a thumbnail to see the full-sized version.
These are selective thumbnails: there's more to each picture than is shown in its thumbnail.
The newest are at the top, so the art gets progressively older (that is, worse) as you go down.

Not New!

At one point in my NaNo story, the main characters get to learn to shapeshift. This is a preliminary sketchpage of what they look like when they do. None of it's drawn as well as I would have hoped, which is why it's here instead of in the semiserious category, but you can at least tell basically what's what.

Here's a collection of some notebook margins from last semester. Random faces, "Foreshadowing the Superhero" (on Ye Olde Posing Boulder), a squiggle from a design on a desk and one from a swirl of chalk, then at the bottom we have a hastily-drawn comic from the very first day of an intimidating class. It depicts things wooshing over my head, in case you were wondering.

Also from my notebooks, these are my kind of stick figure. Little stylized people with a far better range of movement than stickfolk have. All the swordfighting here came from the fact that many of these were drawn in a class on early British literature, which meant a lot of knights and suchlike. Plus it's fun. This is where the moving pic of the little fellow with the sword came from, incidentally. Oh, and that patch in the middle isn't a long sword; it's a staff. I was trying to figure out how to draw something I'd learned in karate, which I'd been reminded of by finding out it was a friend of mine who did that cool staff routine at the talent show last year. Small World Moment #342!

Here's me figuring out a costume for Amtgard. I get to be an elven warrior-monk with two short swords. Huzzah! I even know what to do with short swords, since my style of karate specializes in escrima sticks, which use the same motions as machete fighting. And thusly, similar to short swords. W00t, I say. Such fun. Such fun.

Randomness at its best. I didn't know what to draw, so I started with faces. They are decidedly odd. I ended up with four of them, one of which is attached to a body with tiny dragons playing around underfoot. There's also a stylized pose and a pic of Mal. Yaay.

More randomness: a mirrored kick pose, a guy with antlers, a floating face, a purple-haired fem with something pointy&dangerous, and a niftly little design that I drew on a shirt recently. Saw the pose in someone else's art and loved it. In case you can't tell, one person has his ears covered, one his eyes, and one his mouth. "See no evil..."? Yeah, I'll stop explaining now.

This is the sketch of what I drew for my dad's birthday card (with my brand-new gel pens and speckledy paper). Gel pens are fun to play around with, especially on black paper.

Collected here are all the bad drawings I've done of otremns since the last update. None of this is what the species is supposed to look like (check the semiserious art section for better representations).

And here are all the bad/boring random sketches. Not much to say about these. Except: look, faces! And people! And stuff!

Some collected faces and one full-body sketch. Most of the faces are human(oid), though two are of the dragon persuation. And if those three at the bottom right look like they're meant to be specific people, they are. And if you deduce that their placement in the scrap section means I'm not happy with them, you're right.

I used the inside cover of my cultural geography notebook as a drawing surface. It was so blank and white and lineless, 'twas the only logical thing to do. Problem is, the inside cover gets a little smudgy. But I can still see the faces well enough, so it's all good. Fun people here; I'm particularly fond of the one in the middle, and the hair on the guy at the bottom right. Heh. Fuzzyfluffy.

Three squiggles, three random nonhuman faces, and two pix of Mal, posing. That little plant elemental shows up all over the place, every once in a while. Hurray for art characters.

Lessee, the guy at the top left I saw in a pattern on the porch carpet, the critter on the right was in the chalk smudges on a math class chalkboard, and the one at the bottom was in my head. Good ol' Rarr. I decided to try drawing him with one of those wide smileable mouths, because I like 'em and because it gives him more room for all those teeth. I also gave him freckles, to see if it fits. It does. When was the last time I drew anybody with freckles...
