Samus Aran...

...or at least my interpretation. I think she looks better with the helmet off, but that's just me.

 I needed practice drawing people, so, I decided on someone cool, like Samus. I didn't want a really distracting background, especially since this is all in pencil. Perhaps when I get the right materials, I'll color it one day. It's an 18 x 24", took me like twenty god damned hours, and I'm still finding things I want to fix.

Portrait of a Zombie

My second zombie post. I've become really obsessed with The Walking Dead lately, which has prompted me to start reading the comics.

Sigh. I don't know why I read comics. Looking at comic book art both discourages me and motivates me at the same time. Guh. Art makes me want to throw things. Especially bad art, but we'll talk about that later. 

Visual texture!

Here's something I did for a project for my design class. Basically we had to pick something and draw it with copious amounts of visual texture. I'm a huge nerd (as most of you probably know), and I chose to draw an Xbox controller. I realize that the handles on the left view aren't perfectly symmetrical, but you know what...I wanted it that way. Actually, no...by the time I realized my mistake, I had already started to ink it in. Damn.

Anyway, for those of you who actually read my blog and have Xbox Live, add me! My gamertag is QuietCrusader.

Blue

I did this a while ago, back when I was feeling a little sad. Being sad sucks, but it really does wonders when it comes to art and literature. Done all in Photoshop, took about 4 hours. :)

My best friend loves giraffes...

...so, this one is for her. Actually, she asked me to draw it, so I did. But I still had fun with it. It's cute, right? Maybe I'll add a background one day.

One pen to rule them all...

I had to do this one for my drawing class. I used one pen. It took 3 hours. I'm still not done :\ But I doubt I'll get around to REALLY finishing it. I screwed up some parts, but whatever.

 Man, who has so many cow bones lying around to draw? The art department, that's who.

Here's a real post

My zombie! He's a little angry, which is understandable. I mean who wouldn't be, in that condition? Did it first in pencil, then inked over it. And listen, I don't have a working printer/scanner, so I had to make do with my camera. :|

My first blog post

So, yeah. This is my first post. I mostly just want to see how the template actually looks when something is on it, but I'll post a picture I did a few months ago, just because I love it so much. If you haven't seen Doctor Who though, you probably won't get the joke. You probably also won't get the joke if you're an idiot, and don't know what the beaked guy is. Basically, you won't get the joke if you don't know either of those things.
