Golf Rage

Continuing with the golf theme.

I'll need to work more on the perspective and the proportions, but I like the idea of a trail of anger from a "just missed" putt.

I get mad at golf.

Tee Time

Sure, I could have been paying more attention, but I decided to draw this instead

Biomechanics

Robot Tree or tree robot? Either way it's a sin against nature.

Wheaten

Another non-idea. I thought I'd draw up a cartoony version of one of my Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers.

Random Dude

Just felt like sketching something, so I decided to draw a random guy from the turn of the last century. Kind of looks like Stalin.

The Audiophile

And here's the completed comp, up for voting here

Audiophile (working title for WIP)

Still have some work to do, but here's my first cut for the Retro Audio derby:

Owe 2 huh?

Here's my post for yesterday. I've been a bit sick for the past few days so I'm out of sorts.

I'm working on finishing my "Balloon City" sketch and figured I'd post a "better" sketch:

cloud

Really nothing special here. I created a rather poor halftoned cloud with my tablet.

Goliath

Something I threw together quickly today just to get the idea down...

Betrayal

So earlier today Shigune Matsui gave me an emotional prompt--Betrayal.

So here we are:

I suppose a couple of those icons could be switched around and it'd still be kind of accurate.

The Mushroom Patch

And the finished version of last night's sketch (vote here!):

 

Mushroom

Never got around to doing anything with yesterday's sketch. Now I don't really like the idea at all. Here's a different one for the same "Oddball" derby, though I'm quickly running out of time to make anything of it.

(That's supposed to be a mushroom cloud in the back and mushrooms in the front)

We All Have Our Ways

Woot's new derby theme is "Oddballs," and we need to have someone in a group that doesn't quite fit.

Here's a sketch I drew up, but I didn't have time Thursday night to do much with it. Hope to have more time on Friday.

Seasonal Asteroid

This one would make a lot more sense in color. The idea is an asteroid--a rather small one I suppose--that happens to have all the same temperate zones as Earth.

Bombs Away Revisited

I decided to actually finish one of the sketches I've done!

Bad Hair Day

At least we'll still have morning coffee, right?

Thanks a lot for the concept, Hatter!

Life's Work

Here's a later WIP for the Daedalus design I'd sketched a while back. Definitely still needs work--that bottom wing and those gears are all a mess.

General Marker

I had an idea a while back for a series of illustrations involving magic marker warfare. I keep tossing the idea back and forth.

The Tsar's Treasures

Here's what I finally submitted:

WIP-The Tsar's Treasures

A work in progress that I did last night for Woot's "T derby"

I'm focusing more on composition with this one, trying to fit into the Golden Ratio

Plant

Plants
As far as I know are still,
Still bending toward the light

If you haven't gathered yet, many of my recent sketches are rough illustrations of lyrics from MGMT's "Flash Delirium"

POGO

Working on a design for the new Goodjoe contest: Stand Up for a Cause based on Project On Government Oversight (POGO)

Blank Dreams of the Coming Fun

Quiet Apprehension

Also with the tablet. One of these days I should get to work on actually finishing some of the sketches I like in this blog.

Two again

Back to the tablet. And back to old men. This one's called Backbone.

Seige

What I was going for here, and it didn't come out right, was a ruined city on a desolate landscape with a boat on dry land. Didn't come out--perhaps I should just write rather than sketch?

Bombs away

I was just goofing around with this one. But I owed you another drawing.

Whoops again

Not really my fault this time--I didn't have access to my office/guest bedroom.

I cleverly title this "Knight with a Gun"

I like my Roman soldier with a gun better.

Old Man Getting Crushed

Continuing my fascination with old men ...

Not one of my better ones.

Reflections

A colleague has a foam stress ball shaped like a submarine. I picked it up and realized that if the company who makes it wanted to, they could easily flip it upside-down and say it's a blimp. So here we are:

Haul

Drawn with a Parker Sonnet fountain pen and Private Reserve Ink's "Sonic Blue" -- just for a change of pace

Unfortunate Bonsai

And here's number 2. My sincere apologies for my tardiness.

Ye Olde Mech

Well, I missed a day, so this is today's first of two posts: Ye Olde Mech.

Star Chaser

Here's what I've got so far for tomorrow's derby (Theme: Stars)

Impostor

Inspired by a conversation on woot about the preferred spelling of "impostor/imposter," I decided to draw up an anatomically correct version for the alternate spelling of the controversial "Imposter." My guess is this has probably been done before, but I'm just too lazy to search.:

I told myself I was above this, but I'm really not. And now that I look at it, that rabbit could really use some work!

Woolly 2.0

Decided to get topical and submit this as a woot daily:

Cuckoo Watch

Should have put the watch further down on the wrist, but you get the idea.

Anchored

Figured I'd stick with the island theme. went for more of a whimsical design on this one.

The Lonely Island

Don't feel too bad for him though. He's lonely because he's an asshole.
I did this one with a Copic brush pen.

Whoops!

Well, I didn't post it yesterday, but I did, draw it yesterday -- so in my book that counts!

This one's doing a lot better than that other robot one.  My robots are hit or miss, and I'm sure they're starting to piss people off.

Firebot 3000

This is a work in progress shirt comp for an entry for Woot's Fire derby.

smokefrog

I decided to draw more smoke, and then just started drawing whatever popped into my head

Roman Gun

Honestly, I'm much better at drawing than this blog would make it seem ...

The Fisherman

Went back to the sketchbook for this one. Though I had to work on a small one--I would have liked to have the scene continued at the bottom, with the water pouring out of the net into a lake or something to that effect.

Prosthesis

Balloon City

You'd think a city floating amongst the clouds, suspended by a single balloon, would have enough sense to not have spires on so many buildings.

To each their own I suppose.
Used the tablet on this one too, and I'm not entirely sure if I'm getting anywhere.

Daedalus

I don't have the energy to complete another entry for this derby. And I don't have the clout to get any votes for an entry submitted after Friday.
But I did sketch out how my Daedalus/Icarus design was going to be laid out--the two figures in the foreground with a classical labyrinth pattern in the background. This was on the tablet.

Labyrinths

This week's shirt.woot derby theme is Mazes and Labyrinths.

The entry I've put together so far features the wooden box game Labyrinth and the unfortunate consequences of falling down a hole.

I also hope to draw up a nice Daedalus design, but work will definitely get in the way of subbing that anytime before late Friday.

Prussian Memories

Whether it's done well or not, I really liked the idea behind my Woot entry "Eternal Respects," where a spirit revisits its armor--or longs for its glory days.

Here's another sketch, with a much more alive subject simply remembering the past.

I went with pencil rather than tablet on this one, because I really wanted to do a better job on it :). Though the smoke definitely could use some work, and I originally intended to have much much more of the body in the picture, I think it's a good start.

EDIT:

Wow. I hate you Threadless
