Sketch and Color - Lancejakk

This was something random that I did for fun, this is a Lancejakk character I created, based on JacobMace's Lancejakk race.

When I first saw the Lancejakk I really thought they were nifty (I haven't seen many rabbit/jackalope character races around), so for the fun of it I decided to sit down and work on one for the heck of it.

No real details on him yet though; no name or background since I don't know the details behind the race, their culture, and such. All I can really say is that he'll probably be a warrior who's meant to be fast, hitting fast and hard.

Sketch - Bird Warrior

This was a random sketch I worked on a bit ago.
I wanted to work on -something-, but I really didn't have any ideas; I had an idea for a direction but no clear goal.

In the end, this was the result: a bird warrior.

I don't really have any details on him though; no name, no back story, heck I dunno what kind of bird he would best represent here, so...

Random, spur of the moment sketch.

Sketch - Mundane Jasper

Random, boring sketch of Jasper.

Haven’t drawn him in a while, so I tried work with him, but I had no ideas, so this ended up being the result.

Sketch - Runic Guardian

Here is a random sketch of Runic Guardian I did during a break in a DnD game, hence the lined paper.

This is one of those sketches that I had no direction, so the anatomy and posing here is really wonky, but I wasn't too concerned with it here.
Just something fun to pass the time, have to draw more of Runic sometime.

Sketch and Color - Eastern Bahamut

This is something I haven't played with in a long time: Bahamut in an Eastern Dragon form.

This was an idea that I played with a long time ago, but never did a whole lot with it, so I decided to revisit it now for the fun of it.
The design was actually based on someone else's concept for the idea, but I loved it so much that I just stuck with it with minor alterations here and there.

He's meant to be floating there, since that is something Eastern dragons do, but it kinda looks like he's just standing there with no shadow.

Sketch - Uneasy sleep

Small sketch of feral Bahamut trying to sleep, but it looks like he’s crying.

…I seem to do things like this a lot recently.

Sketch and Color - Koral

Haven't done one of these in a while; sketch and color post.

This started off as a random doodle/sketch I did during a DnD game (hence the lined paper) and I had no real direction for a concept, but it slowly turned into this fella here.

I knew right away that I had to finish him, so I spent some time inking and coloring to help get back into the swing of things as well as come up with a good scheme for him as well.
No real ideas for character story or background yet but I think I have a simple name for him though: Koral.

Sketches and Doodles

Finally getting back to posting some sketches/doodles here.
Here is a small collection of random sketches and doodles that I’ve done randomly or during down time in work or DnD games.

First up is just a random page of doodles and designs. Some of it is practice since I want to try and come up with a good pattern design for Gene’s marking (I really wish I was better at tribal/celtic -style designs). The rest are just random fun.

Second up is a sketch of Alistar from League of Legends. Body structure is all wrong, but I wasn’t worried since it was a random doodle. On lined-paper no less.

Last up is a random sketch of Khavru. In Jedi robes. With a lightsaber.
That was random, I cannot lie. But fun, heh. Don’t worry, I think he would be considered a padawan, so no worries.

Sketch - Gloomy Bahamut

Random sketch of feral Bahamut looking gloomy.

...he seems to be like that a lot.

Sketch - Lil' Troy

A small sketch offering for today.

I've been trying to get some more worthwhile sketches done, with varying degrees of success.
This was a sketch that almost went horribly wrong, the posing and perspective were giving me some fits and while trying to figure that out, I had no idea who to actually draw in, so I decided it was time to sketch a character that hasn't had a lot of attention: Troy.

Overall, I am happy with how this sketch looks, for some reason the look and style here seems different to me, but I'm not entirely sure why; maybe it's just the simple fact that Troy's head is at a different angle and the expression I was trying to go for had his ears going in different directions. Or he just seems "fluffier" than normal.

Sketch - Pop Fizz

I didn't really have any interest in the Skylanders series when it first came out; when I first saw it I thought that it was yet another reboot to the Spyro series and that they were just trying to cash in on the idea of having an actual video game where you had to buy items to scan in in order to unlock new characters, powers and items, so I never really gave it much notice.

Well, now they have the second game out, Skylanders Giants and when I saw some of the advertising they have for it, I must admit that the character art did catch my attention.
The art is actually really good and a lot of the character designs are pretty nifty, so while trying to get back into the sketching groove, I decided to do a little bit of fan art, so here we have the character Pop Fizz.

When I first saw this character, I assumed that he would be a kind of alchemist character that threw beakers of stuff around, but apparently the idea behind the character is that he drinks these beakers of what I assume are "experimental soda pop" drinks which cause him to transform into a bulkier, heavier form; odd but still fun nevertheless and I have to admit that his overall character design is fun.

Oddly enough, this sketch still proved to be a bit of a problem: the one thing I did not want to do was just replicate the same pose that he has in the promotional art, but I think I managed to steer away from that with something that seems appropriate to him.
I may actually give him some color later on, we'll have to see.

Sketch - Gene Run

Small sketch for today.

I'm trying to move away from the static drawings I've been doing and trying some more interesting poses and movement poses, and since I wanted to draw more Gene, I decided to try this: here we have Gene running off to somewhere or from someone.
