Week in Review #1

I'm gonna try this new week in review thing. I'm not sure how exciting I am so I'll probably do favorite stuff for the week and what I ran across in my meanderings around the internet that I liked. That and post any new sketches. I tend to doodle quite a bit so yep.

Anyhow this week I tried very valiantly to not bust out my baseball bat and hit a home run with my PC. I'm not exactly rolling in even coinage so my PC is old. OLD. Unfortunately this results in my computer not wanting to save large files in Photoshop. Which, since I do book covers and graphic art for my day job, is not really a good thing. So the hard drive is being wiped this weekend and reformatted. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

That said I thought I'd post up some doodles I've been doing. I haven't had a lot of time to work on anything lately because of the computer issues but I can still scan! I can do other things still, it just takes longer which drives me batty.

I actually did this one a while back. I'm a huge Star Trek fan and was watching it and thinking to myself about how they tout peace in it all the time and in reality all they do is go around getting into other people's business. Granted they help solve it in the end but I'd say they cause more mayhem than anything! (yes I know it's a t.v. show) So I wanted to draw something that was more indicative of what I think Star Fleet really is...Anarchy in a nice shiny badge! I actually made a transfer of this and made a tshirt for my boyfriend also which of course I don't have a picture of at the moment. As soon as I take one I'll post it. 


I've also finished completely my dragon Smaug's Brother, (you can see the previous versions here )have I mentioned I have a hellish time doing backgrounds? I know it looks simple but it's like pulling teeth for me. Anyhow, I think he looks pretty cute! I'm thinking he might need a t-shirt, anyone else think so?

I also made a bunny, he's really at the very base level right now so that's why there are no frills or textures yet. I've already got a drawing with him in a Sherlock hat and scarf, and one of him in a Star Trek shirt. He'll probably end up in a bunch of fandom outfits.

Other than that, it's been school (I'm working on getting my B.A.), book covers, and everyday life. Yep, I'm pretty darn exciting aren't I?
