I Eat The Paste!? The One I Married.

     Been a minute since I posted any new doodles, trust me when I say I have been busy as of late. Between going to school and working full time, I have little free time for myself. All of my extra energy and time this last year was spent on my recent marriage to my favorite person of whom is pictured here. Wedding was perfect, went off with out a hitch and I am thankful for everyone who helped make it so easy.

     Now that it is over and things are back to normal I plan on drawing more. Possibly making some more ambitious pieces as I go further down the rabbit hole that is printmaking. I am enjoying the process thus far and look forward to my continuing efforts.

    The first image is just a drawing of Ruth from my memory, she gets this glazed look on her face when she watches television. I did my best to capture this expression.
Also, to my knowledge she does not eat paste in real life, but sometimes I wonder...

The Owls Are Not What They Seem

Finally got around to playing through Fez over winter break. WOW, what a fantastic game. I really got sucked in and wanted to explore every corner of this wonderfully imagined world. The puzzles were clever and the use of the 2d/3d was mind bending and brilliantly used. A delightful, relaxing game experience with a soothing soundtrack. 5/5

Phaselocked

With the Borderlands pre-sequel out now, thought I would celebrate both, the release of this game and the hours I spent on Borderlands 2. Most of that time was spent on my Siren, Elemental spec. Tons of corrosive, fire, electric damage. Tons of fun.

For this doodle, all I had was Maya on the left. My co-beard Tristan suggested I add the phaselocked enemy on the right...why didn't I think of that!? This doodles was done using all of the normal tools I use, pencil, pen, white out pen, and a small watercolor case with 16 colors. For her arcane tattoos I happen to have a regular blue pen on hand which worked perfectly.

Not sure when I will get to the Pre-sequel but I am looking forward to low gravity physics.  

Chodo Swaggins & Nicolas Cage

Chodo Swaggins a 2nd level Halfling Cavalier and most recent inductee to the Pathfinder Society. He and his trusty companion Nicolas Cage are wild at heart and ready for what ever challenges they may face.

Their most recent expedition to the Temple of Empyrean Enlightenment led to a most horrifying discovery.

Highlights from their adventure

*Spoilers /begin*      

• A heretic priest named Dakang was actually a demon Vermlek and was corrupting everyone in the temple.
• Companion fighter named Dog; (not my dog Nicolas) Almost succeeded in killing himself after being possessed by a haunt. 
• Companion Barbarian named Thick; Took some hallucinogens and attempted a trial that involved inserting his arm into the mouth of a turtle statue. The statue contained hot blades that chopped off his little finger. 

*Spoilers /end*

All in all a disturbing mission, no one died...lots of fun was had.

 

Omnivore Shark

When my nephew Jolon created his mushroom monster, his older brother Dakota also sculpted something. The thing he created was much less...brutal in nature. He described it as a shark that only eats plants...some times small creatures. He eats sucking up organisms with his tiny mouth. I took some liberties with the size of the creature but the idea is still the same. Like I mentioned before, I wish I had taken pictures of the sculptures for reference, next time. 

Labor Day Union Picnic At The Louisville Zoo 2014 EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

An illustration from a day at the zoo during the Labor Day Union Picnic.
This is a fun exercise of not removing the tip of the pen from the paper, focusing more on form and less on detail. Copic markers used for the grey tones.

Lub-lub? Kids think of the darndest things.

An illustration based off of a kneaded eraser sculpture (see: ninja turtle sculpture) my nephew Jolon made. He described the creature as carnivorous with two mouths and can fly to chase it's prey...the terrifying mind of a child. His brother Dakota sculpted something much nicer, I will have it finished soon. Next time I will take a picture of said sculptures for reference.
