Frankly, destruction is best left to the professionals.


Non-Nerd Caption:

I drew this character once about a year ago. Too stiff and flat. This one's better, hopefully. Ruffed it on the back of a Mill Test Report Document Summary, inked it with a black ballpoint. I'm all about Quality. I think I may try re-inking her face, I feel like I lost something from the ruff.

Nerd Caption:

Drew Jaya Ballard, Task Mage again. If I could put it on a card, I would ask for "Pyroblast", even if I've put the flavor text for "Gorilla Shaman". I'll grant you, she looks a bit more like Chandra Nalaar than Jaya, but I'm gonna give her Jaya's coloring if I ever get off my lazy butt to paint it.

Jaya Ballard is most likely copyright Wizards of the Coast, I'm thinkin'.

Sure, He's just standing there now. But he'll be reciting poetry and stabbing people before you know it.

Gra-fear



Ugh, so sick can barely form a coherent thought. Best time for a post, I find.
Got so used to the sweet, sweet Cintiq at the studio, wasn't sure I'd be able to go back. This is my first kick at the cat, pooped it out on my old Grapphire I bought four years ago. I've drawn this Goblin about six billion times before, he's fun to draw and I know what he looks like. Wanted something easy, and y'know, this guy typing, not exactly lucid, what with hearing angels singing and all. What's that? Towards the light?

Bzuuhhh.

Two Clips

So, I saw Jon Lambe linked to a TD clip on Youtube that had some of his animation in it, and I thought, "I can get on board with stealing an idea like that." Except this one has some of my animation in it. Jon can post his own stuff. Two fun points:

1. Only the first little chunk of this is actually mine, about to the point where he says "laugh it up", give or take. It's not what I'd call my best stuff, but it's what I can show.

2. Take note that Barney seems to have no legs as he levitates out the door. I honestly thought the crowd of kids would do a better job of covering his lower half, so I didn't draw it. Fantastic stuff.




I also have here a clip of Sonny Boy Williamson II, for no other reason than that it's incredible.

Duddles. Deedles. Dawdles.

More scraps and castoffs!




Rabbit! I need to hand this to a designer to take a shot at!


Some lady!


Me! Kinda!


Some Girl!


Damned if I know! This is why meetings are bad for you!


Tiger! Pointing! Possibly to accent dialogue! Which I find sort of irritating!

Enjoy! Why am I screaming ?!! My dosage is too high! Or possibly not high enough! Ha Ha! (sob)
