Sketch Saturday

So this was the first sketch I did for a possible second entry for a Twisted Fairytales contest on DA. The Fairytale I chose to warp for my second entry was Snow White. I wanted to make her a vampire with the seven dwarves as her 'familiars'. Then I browsed around DA for ref images and got ideas for a more imaginative composition and came up with a second sketch.
Whilst I do like the above, second sketch I don't think I'm going to take it any further. Well, not right now at least. The more I try to do to it, the more frustrated I get with it. Looks like I won't be making another entry for that contest. :/ Which sucks because I don't believe my first entry to be particularly strong, either; I would've liked to have made another image for the contest.

I think I'm gonna go draw something else now. These sketches are just pissing me off. :/ But I do like the bow I gave Snow White. XD These sketches have also highlighted the weaknesses in my style and just how much I can't draw. : [ So now I'm having an 'I-can't-draw-day' and feeling kinda shitty about it. *Sigh*

My first entry for the contest can be found here.
Edit as of 17.10.09: Here's what the finished product ended up looking like. WARNING! Tits! 8D

"I'm blue, Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die..."

Just a little something I've been working on the past week or so. College is proving to be exhausting so this is all I've really done in the past while. :[

I quite like it but it could be better. I'm revising Dinah's character design and how I draw her. I'm still not sure how to draw her eyes. I want them to be big to show her innocence and I want them to 'dip down' at the sides to show how sad she is but it's really not working.

Not been feeling so great about my art recently. At this rate 'Black & White', the short comic I'm drawing, may just go on hiatus. DX I just want to finish it.

Three versions because I was just messing around with the layer's visibility. I'll only upload the coloured version to deviantart. Which version do you like?

The Last Chibi


This is Steph's sister. I didn't know her name and forgot to ask so there's no name on this. Hopefully I can rectify that pretty soonish. Anyway, this is the last free Chibi drawing I'm doing. I'm hoping to do commissions at some point in the future. Commissioned drawings will be of a much higher quality than these chibi drawings though that'll also depend on what I'm asked to draw. XD I need to draw commission samples...
College tomorrow so I'm off to bed now. Night! 8D
Edit as of 09.10.09: Her name was Joanna.

Good Show, Old Bean

Based on a panel from the Hellsing manga, this was something quick and silly drawn for an English Language assignment talking about why I talk the way I talk. I like the background, the hair and the shades of purple on the shirt. The hand looks dodgy and my facial expression looks really gormless. :/ Quick and silly indeed.

First Post Trauma


So here are some chibi drawings of friends that they requested I do. The styles inconsistent, as are the heights and the proportions suck (even for a chibi) on a lot of them. :/ Oh well, the friends seemed to like them which was good. I may just have to draw some more chibis to get my style consistent again. DX

Ah, nice to get the first post out of the way and put something up here. It sure ain't gold but then, what did one expect?

And now...my mind is suspiciously blank. Time to wrap this up! 8D TTFN! *Legs it*
