@@; ANOTHER piece of impulse fanart?! At 2 AM?! Art peers, I sowwy. This was practice, I promise, and future impulse fanart will actually involve effort to get out of my comfort zone.
Hahaha, out of all the characters, Squigly is probably the only one I find “easy” to draw… Which makes me feel kinda sad that I’ve yet to draw the character I actually voice ASJHFLKLKJ
xP For the record, I drew Parasoul (http://hnilmik.tumblr.com/post/9729865566) before I was cast as Ms. Fortune. Hopefully this Skullgirls attempt doesn’t look as stiff. If there’s one thing I wanna redo sometime, it’s the sleeve(s) and perhaps adjusting Leviathan to make the whole thing “flow” better, but otherwise, I’m a bit proud of the fact that I drew this in under half an hour.

I have no idea if I’m going to keep doing the countdown, but it sure gave me the opportunity to try something ambitious while most other Double submissions were of her nun form.
@@; NUN!Double would’ve been easy(?) to do, but I decided to try seeing if my “just add a lot of gross stuff and you have Double” theory checked out. Not necessarily, as I’ve found. There’s a reason why she looks so sinew/tissue/gloop-y, and just because she can bend whatever way she wants doesn’t mean that I can get away with lazy “anatomy”. And, her mass/volume. I still don’t know how to “make it work” (2D shapes with a lot of details vs. 3D shapes, which I’m not quite getting).
My sister kept asking about where the line of action was. I know what line of action is-kinda, but… I had no idea how to apply it to DRAW FAST GESTURES KHJDFFKJHS
On this, uh, other forum I'm on that talks about a certain other show, we have a Skullgirls thread, and lots of people are super excited. I told them you voiced the cat thing whose name escapes me, and everyone thought you were super cool.
Pretty universally we think Peacock is the coolest character, though, because, dude, 1920s animation has a certain charm to it.
I makes me sad. I’ve been reading Loomis to see if I could wrap my head around drawing heads (HAHA), but even drawing while reading didn’t yield any satisfying results. Construction-wise it makes more sense now, but it does little good if you can’t draw a proper sphere, right? Lots of flat symbols.
So this Friday the 13th, I decided to experiment around. Play with shapes, play with lines, play with crosshatching, try sketching my laundry… Planes, volume, and so on are still hard to figure out, but it might click with enough pen mileage. Cropped out most of the REALLY boring stuff.
hmm an old drawing practice, was drawing a little mascot character of a certain forum called box man. We used him as a base character for our animation competitions. Here is an ooollllddd one I did.
