Black and White Final Fantasy III Fan Art

What better way is there to practice your proficiency with black-and-white than fan art of your favorite characters?

On Suction

So this past Sunday, THiRST, the young-adult (from college age to twentysomething) group at my church had a Q&A panel for the high school kids–where they could ask about college, life after college, the THiRST group, and whatever else. Lauren remarked on the tight-knit-ness of the group, but how it’s also easy to get integrated into it, giving her own example: she’s been attending for a little under a year now, and she quickly felt like a welcome and longtime member. “It’s like a vacuum cleaner, it sucks you in,” she said. To which Rod, the THiRST ministry leader, responded, “Our new motto. THiRST: we suck!”

When I got home that evening, I drew this thing up.

A new entry for your “list of things you will never see on a THiRST t-shirt.” Funny story.

Super Mario Bros. sketch

I sketched and inked this drawing of the Mario bros. while at Animation and Gaming Ohio 2009. It’s looking pretty rough at the moment, but if I get some time, I may clean it up and add some color.

FFIX Fan Art: “Cut Clean”

So, what I do on this blog, besides retract and qualify prior statements so as to temper their scalding mettle with the cold water of cowardice, is to post artwork. Sometimes this takes the form of fan art. Here is a piece I recently did for my friend Tania, at her request, to thank her for her work on the Borderline Boy site. I have actually only played a little less than half of Final Fantasy IX, so here is some fan art depicting an event I have never actually played through.

Yeah, so…um. Anyway then. Woohoo, fanart. I am mostly pleased with it.

Lucca

I’m a big fan of Chrono Trigger, one of the best RPGs on the Super Nintendo, if not of all time. One of the reasons I’m a fan is that Lucca is awesome.

I created this fan art of her. Apparently I created it over half a year ago.

Iron Narwhal

I, like my fellow blogger Ari Collins, have been rather absent from this blog, so here is a silly drawing that I did awhile ago, based on a forum conversation that went to a very ridiculous place. I hope you enjoy it.

Perhaps tomorrow I will dig up something else I have drawn semi-recently and post it here? The future is full of possibilities!

An Action Robot Announcement

Next Saturday, October 18th, is 24 Hour Comics Day. People all across the nation–indeed, the very world–will be taking Scott McCloud’s challenge of creating a twenty-four page comic in 24 hours. And I will be turning out a brand-new illustrated adventure for Action Robot, which I will post up here as I complete it.

Be sure to check it out, this coming Saturday. It will be full of adventure, action, and at least one robot.

Heroes sketches

So, here are the promised sketches from while I was watching Heroes.

Heroes, L to R, top to bottom: Matt Parkman, Peter Petrelli, Noah Bennet, Claire Bennet

The Matt Parkman is not so good, Claire and her dad turned out okay, but man, I nailed that drawing of Peter Petrelli. From the facial structure to the expression to the hair, that’s pretty dead-on. Don’cha think?

I should draw Hiro too. He’s awesome. I really feel a lot of sympathy for Claire and Matt, though…they seriously have it rough, even for characters from Heroes.

Office Doodles

Lately I’ve been doodling and sketching while I watch stuff on screens. Movies, TV, youtube videos. Whenever.

These doodles are from earlier this week, when I watched a bunch of old episodes of The Office online. I am most pleased with the ones of Michael Scott with a goatee. The guy in the upper-left corner is probably supposed to be Andy Bernard, but we live in a world of uncertainties.

doodles of characters and things from NBC's The Office

I figure maybe tomorrow or the next day, I will post up some of my sketches from watching Heroes.
