And so on and so forth.

^ Rough sketches of Anne and Finch, including the chorus to "Pale Shelter" by Tears For Fears.
Sketchbook_Brain Drain 5 Cover, featuring Lily and Decay!
^ Cover to my current Utility sketchbook. Sketched in Non-Photo Blue Col-Erase, inked with Rapidograph technical pens (sizes 2 and 3) and a dip pen (Hunt 513EF nib) with Speedball Super Pigmented Acrylic Ink. Colored with Prismacolor markers, Sharpie, and white out.
The illustration was sealed with Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish Fluid Medium; it is tough yet elastic, and waterproofs the cover.
BRAINSICK art: Assuage Me of My Fears (2004) and Leave My Fears Unrealized (2007)
^ "Assuage Me of My Fears" - 2004, Pigma Micron 005 and Prismacolor markers on smooth bristol. This piece represents the current (a la 2004) cast of Brainsick, alongside a smattering of themes.
^ "Leave My Fears Unrealized" - 2007, pencil on smooth bristol. This drawing - a revamp of "Assuage Me of My Fears" - was never finished and never will be, though I do like the composition fairly well. I'd like to revamp the concept as a promotional poster for Brainsick one of these days. It will be done!
I'd had a lot of trouble getting my human characters' faces to look right; it was not until I began college that I learned the value of thumbnail drawings.
BRAINSICK art: Angel (2006) and Angels Misled (2010)
^ "Angel" - 2006, Pigma Micron pens, Prismacolor markers, Sharpie, and white out on Borden & Riley marker paper. Drawn while playing the eponymous Massive Attack song on repeat.
^ "Angels Misled" - 2010, Speedball Super Pigmented Acrylic Ink on Borden & Riley marker paper.
Nibs used: Hunt 102, Hunt 107, Hunt 108, Hunt 513EF
A comparison of the same concept and how it was executed during different years. I love creating loose, free compositions for my Brainsick characters and their themes.
May 5 Pixelovely animal studies
I'm backlogged on scanning my open figure drawing sessions (currently two), but that should be taken care of by Thursday.

There is a reference to a song by The Smiths somewhere in these pages...
Sketchbook_NS 3 Pg. 18a
^ Another page of studies; this one comprises Oriental shorthair cats and an itty-bitty Siamese (from which the Oriental shorthair descended).
It's about time I updated! I was put off for a while because I'd named a TON of scanned drawings incorrectly - and I am very picky about personal naming conventions for my work.
