happy birthday chuck!

I think he also studied earthworms.  I should have put in some worms.  Also, while he was a young pup when he traveled on the Beagle, I made him olde because... well.. no good reason really.

Train Folk

sketchbook pages

This was from a year ago sitting at the unemployment office.  That was a fun day.  Almost became a bus driver.

Some more people from the unemployment office.

TWO sketch pages

Folks at the dealership during oil change times.

These pages are from February of this year

Sketchbook Pages

Some folks from work... Spring of 2012 I believe.

Sketchbook pages

Did some sketches of co-workers during a meeting.  Winter/spring of 2012, I believe.

More Skyrim!

Kinda fan art, but not exactly. This is how I imagine my character looks, minus the Dragonbone Helmet of Shoot 'n Slash. He's not exactly what you would expect from a save the sweet innocent maiden... but he hardly ever does that. He most creeps through caves and ruins putting arrows into the bellies of bandits and ancient undead. I should have really named him Deadeye, but I panicked and named him Cumberpatches. That's because of Sherlock.

Doodles from February

some photostudies, some doodles... nothin serious.

Year end guilt rush

So much time, so little drawings done.

Regularly Irregular Update

Sketches from July and September, I believe.

Just some doodles, a photo study. Trying to draw some co-workers in the corner there.

It has been a while

Bill Maher, you magnificent bastard. I wanted to do a real quick memory impression sort of sketch of his smarmy, self-aggrandizing smirk as he lays into the christians once again. With apologies to my dear christian friends! I wanted to keep the values to a minimum and use a very large brush and just jam it out.

Unrelated, there are wee little gnat things that keep buzzing around my monitors. I only succeed in smooshing them occasionally, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. Ah, the swamplands of Illinois, you're either freezing or crawling with bugs.

Corey

Here's Corey from LA Ink. Nicole and I got sucked in again after swearing it off. Then we missed the last episode of the season, so we got no resolution. Here's the ref:

love me two times

slightly suspicious

Mustache Ref
i need to be more careful with the construction. i tend to break the form, neglecting to wrap features around the form. also, the lump of hair above his left ear looks malignant.

mustaches of the 19th century

Hurray for this blog: Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century

feelin like crap... but i like how it came out

feelin great

i feel great today. this is from a photo nicole took of me when i carved out a lemmy style connected mustache. i'm sure there's an official name for this kind of facial topiary. this took me much longer than i had thought it would. i'm trying to speed up my painting techniques to compete with these super fast sketchy fellows that started at work here. i'm still a long way away from breaking into that mind set. yes. well, enjoy it.
