I never draw my own characters

You know I was going to post this entry with no real commentary but I think there's a major issue here that I've been avoiding like a Tea Partier. I only ever draw my friend's characters and stuff, but so rarely do I attempt to draw my own. Am I embarrassed by my own designs? Do I have no pride in the characters and stories I've come up with? I don't know.

Seriously, I only occasionally draw my characters and so rarely do I do more than a simple half-assed sketch, whilst I do full out sketches and colored doodles of my friends' stuff. Now this isn't an attack or anything on my friends' characters! I just feel...Like I'm not doing enough for myself. Even Harlequin and Columbina have fallen to the wayside.

Add in that I'm definitely not trying any new things with my art and its upsetting. What is wrong with me? My art looks the same. The only mild difference is the nose. Everything else is the same. Same poses and everything.

What is up with me? This can't be art block. Is there improvement in my art and I'm not seeing it.

Oh I disgust myself. But not in a bad way. Eugh, this will be hard to explain. Its like...a disgust that's pushing me to try new things. I have been experimenting with style but I'm not comfortable with it. I had just been hoping that in more normal doodles one would be able to see a difference and I'm not.

WELL enough of that bullshit, on to today's drawings!





Aumji's character Raye. I've been wanting to draw him for years but his faux-hawk always intimidated me. Like, how does one draw that thing? Ugh. So I drew the bed-head interpretation of Raye. Fuck his hair.

Though yay for finally being able to draw him!



Another Raye image but this time with his homosexual life partner T.J. Go check out Aumji's blog for more info on them. Apparently its my fault they're gayer than a unicorn shitting out rainbows. I don't draw couple images often, so this was a bit of a hassle. I think it came out alright. T.J.'s dreads were a pain in the ass.



This drawing is for Lonlon. This is her character Maura that goes around shirtless a lot, has a scarred face, is blind, and is a princess. And has a on-and-off  girlfriend that is a pirate that always gets in trouble. So I went with what I got.

So, yea, that's all the drawings for today! :D I'll keep trying to update with sketches. Not everyday but oftenish! :>
