I decided to sit down and do some digital drawing today. I had to warm up but as I got going I felt better and now I’m kind of sad that I need to do start making dinner! So I will show you what I worked on most today. Oh, and I decided to add some nifty free background texture since all the cool kids are doing it!

This is Mikaylia. Maybe. Well, she WAS Mikaylia…then she became Kaelia…and now I’m fiddling around with a different name for her entirely, but as I said before, I’m so bad with coming up with names that it’ll probably be a while, so for the moment she’s still Mika, I suppose. She’s been elusive to me…I’ve had her design in place for years but whenever I try to carve out a backstory or purpose for her, there’s been a block. But I think I’ve finally got a seed of who she is and who she will become, so I hope that will eventually grow so I can explain her better. We can hope at least!

I think I should update this

Hey all, sorry it’s been a bit! I hope everyone had a great Holiday season and a happy New Year! It was pretty busy around here for a bit, but things have calmed down now. I have some doodles to dump today, I was lazy in getting them all scanned in but I’m glad I finally got it done. I keep forgetting to throw a watermark or something on them (signature?) but they’re doodles so I really don’t worry about it that much.

Here’s some Ushiko’s I’ve been doodling around. Ushiko is the character mascot for Ushicon, a convention in Austin, TX. I’ve always had problems drawing her but for some reason I keep coming back and trying.

Some of my own original characters. The elf on the far left has been around for 10+ years, and the other two are characters I’m still stuggling to establish even though they’re getting on in age themselves. Especially the main girl of the duo, I want to change her name but I haven’t found a suitable replacement yet! I’ve always been so weak with names. =P They’re finally starting to come together though, slowly.

This is another character of mine named Robin. I originally made her to go with a friend’s character when we used to draw together. I ended up using her in one of my final projects in school, where she became an artist who secretly draws romance comics about her and her crush getting together.

And well, we’ll end with some Rapunzel, why not? I still love her.

I wish WordPress would resize pictures better…they’re either REALLY HUGE or really really small. I have to say, it kind of makes me nervous to post my pictures and have them be ALL IN YOUR FACE but I guess it’s better than them being all tiny, right?
