The (Miss) Adventures of Lost Girl, 001

We're working on 3-panel strips now... so you're gonna be tortured a bit more with my horrid hand-drawing skills ;)

anyways, ignore the crappy scan, i had to combine two different ones together to get it to fit, and lets just say it wasnt the best job in the world. just wait til i finish this bad boy up... its amazing the transformation. Anyways, this was scanned, blended, cropped, and saved for web (resized then, too)

Wish i knew how Jamie got his images in and cleaned up like he does. he even inks his first. something about turning the whole thing into vectors, too. *sighs* sometimes, i feel so damned lost.

and that brings me to....

The (Miss) Adventures of Lost Girl

The premise: A young lady leaves all she's ever known to move to not only a new place, but one that broke ALL the molds... Alaska. The strip is to be a series depicting the hilarity of a new(hahahahaha!!!) Chichako (new-comer) trying to fit in and learn the ways, hoping one day to finally be called a Sourdough.

yeah, based rather loosely on me. hey, he DID say some of the best ones draw heavily from personal experience.

here is a sketch of what is to be the very first (Miss) Adventure of Lost Girl.

The Savings Leak


Warming my Creative Muscles back up after a day spent goofing off (i did a few little sketches, but nothing major), started with a buncha scribbles, then used a darker bolder brush to pick out shapes, until something started working... and after a lot of cleaning up, some re-do's, and a few chunks of hair being ripped out... this emerged.

still need to work on my values, tones, shading, whatnot.
and dont get me started on drawing ability. btw - this was drawn entirely with my wacom =D

The Coffee Cult

Well, in class yesterday, while everyone else was working on heir homework, I was - as is typical of me - doodling. thankfully, this is one class where that is actually encouraged - even if, in this case, I had already finished the work being done.

Anyways.... I was staring at my container of coffee, and was thinking of my favorite phrase - nectar of the morning gods (and afternoon, evening, night...)... and then about how ideas cannot be copyrighted.... and back to coffee....

and THIS happened... I actually have another variation sketched in sketchbook, this is what happened when i took it from sketchbook to bristol board LOL.

Anyways... enjoy the Coffee Cult =D
