Whatcha got cookin’?

maybe i should learn to draw spy before drawing a comic where spy is the main character hmmmm
Oh gosh what is this
Shameless fanart SHAMELESS. Whatever someone asked me about TF2 in my comments so it’s a legitimate reader question!!
Aaron Diaz of Dresden Codak took a shot at redesigning Nightcrawler yesterday and I like what he came up with and I wanted to draw it! Coming up with colors for the costume was a challenge, and I have a few different versions, but the top one is my favorite (thank you Magnolia for helping me out).
Nightcrawler’s classic circus costume is actually one of my favorites so I didn’t want to veer too much from the black/red/white color scheme. I also really love that Aaron added in swords to his costume, but after about a half-hour of wrestling with shoulder harnesses and scabbards and foreshortening I said “FORGET THIS” and left them off. Sorry Kurt.
My favorite thing about this redesign is that it brings Nightcrawler back to what made him my favorite X-Man: a devilish swashbuckling Errol Flynn mutant that gets drunk with Wolverine on the weekends. Through the 90s and 00s he turned into this brooding sadsack of a character that just wasn’t fun to be around. The fun of Nightcrawler was that he looked demonic but didn’t let that get in the way of him having a good time.
KURT WAGNER.
I want to do a bunch of facial studies for the TF2 fanzine but that just means I need to freakin’ learn how to draw faces! Here are the results of beating my head against a wall for about two hours trying to figure out how Medic’s face works. I think maybe I figured it out??
Okay I think this Sherlock crap is out of my system now. Maybe now I can live a normal life.
Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch’s versions of Holmes. Jeremy Brett is my favorite, but Sherlock is the only “different time-period” version of the stories that I like and it is a pretty swell show. Also Benedict Cumberbatch is dreamy, but I’m sure if you’ve spent any time on tumblr recently you’d know that I’m not the first person to think that.
Sniper/GLaDOS is my OTP and will be until John Patrick Lowry and Ellen McLain stop being adorable/hilarious at conventions.
this is stupid and I’ve lost all my ability to to draw decent fanart DOT JPEG
GOOD NIGHT
My guest strip for Dead Winter went up today! It’s too big for Tumblr, so click here to read it all!
Do you read Dead Winter? If you don’t YOU SHOULD it is really good and Dave constantly astounds me with his ability to draw weird perspectives and handle grayscale. Also the comic just ended on a HUGE CLIFFHANGER and I can’t wait for the next chapter because I GOTTA SEE WHAT HAPPENS. LIZ I HOPE YOU ARE OKAY.
Started doing something a little different with color, but that didn’t turn out right so I fell back on my old standby: texture layers set on “soft light.” Some day I’ll break out of my old habits!
Experimenting usually means one thing: TF2 Fanart! I wish Spy’s Intangible Ascot could be worn all the time because it is my most favorite Spy item. Also: I wish I didn’t suck real hard at playing Spy.
I started this back when I thought I was going to have some free time this week but turns out that things got crazy!!
So here is a WIP of my Medic wearing a winter coat and a scarf because he didn’t get shit for the holiday update and that’s crap!
Hey, I’ve got a guest strip up at TJ and Amal today! Since they are in Missouri I couldn’t help but do a tribute to St. Louis because it is one of my favorite cities! Thanks for letting me use your characters for such selfish reasons, EK.
Pokeddex Day 6! Favorite Rock type. It was basically a tossup between all the fossil pokemon because I like most of them. I went with Archen because it is a pokemon microraptor hee hee hee hee.
