PIRATES. Aren't they cool????

OK I'l probably post something silly next.

Gothic Tea Party

2012-01-03T20:09:00.000-08:00

...Hope you like blood on your scones!
Happy New Year everyone :)

Innocence

2011-12-18T18:35:00.000-08:00

I know, I know. You're getting tired of seeing this character... But c'mon, drawing her is a stress reliever! :)

Pirate

2011-12-16T17:22:00.000-08:00

Again, another early morning sketch. You can never go wrong with pirates!

Fishnet and, oh yeah... Steampunk.

2011-12-14T19:33:00.000-08:00

I drew everyone's favorite perky vampire wearing lingerie + fishnet stockings. I kinda noticed most of my art involving MTL has this eerie Rocky Horror vibe to it :p. It's probably just the fishnet and corsets... and the camp mad science-y thingee...and it's also probably going to be a musical.

I'm serious.

Also after waking up this morning I thought of re-designing an old character, the steampunk chick I drew way, waaay back, a gazillion blog posts ago. Her name is Anastasia, to the curious folks. And yes, I drew inspiration from disco.

By the way, another random philosophical question: Personal tumblr artblog, yay or nay?

Blondie

2011-12-09T17:54:00.001-08:00

Something a bit more contemporary.
I like the style of Alternative Comics :p

Flower girl

2011-12-04T19:17:00.001-08:00

Can't decide whether to make her a red-head or a brunette, but I decided to make her a red-head anyway. Probably inspired by Audrey Hepburn/My Fair Lady lol!

Cuteness, ahoy!

Ok so I recently discovered Les Miserables the musical, damnit I feel live I've been living inside a rock for a long long time. I think this character is recocgnizable but I think she ought to look a little paler... :P.

Anyway I'm having a MAJOR block. Can't draw or write anything decently... And I'm stuck at work! T.T Can anyone help me out so I can get back on track?

League sketches

2010-04-05T00:42:00.001-07:00

I think I like my sketches more than my lineless/inked drawings. C:

Some Sketch stuff

2009-11-05T20:55:00.000-08:00

So last night I've been sketching. I haven't drawn any decent ones for weeks. The sad thing is, my scanner is broken so I won't be able to show much of my traditional stuff, including my watercolor paintings.

I did managed to scan these two:

I really like messy drawings... there's this primal feel in the pencil strokes. Anyway, I don't have a story for her yet, but I'm really fond of illustrating this Samurai girl character. You've seen this gal before here and here. I think you'll see more of her in the future. ;)

Aaaaand Papess Lodovica from the Italian comic Sky Doll. I really love this character... I don't have reference, so I'm not sure if I drew her right though. ^^;

Ariel, no reference, aaand she has bigger boobs here. I was just playing around with MSPaint, idk :D

*UPDATE July 28, 2009*

So I drew a quick one at school today.

Why do girls love mermaids anyway?

Lady Medusa

2009-07-17T00:48:00.000-07:00

Never EVER let yourself be caught by this hair.

Pink

2009-07-09T19:32:00.000-07:00

Half of the first part of a book cover commission for Andrew Villar completed! :D Oh, yeah, hooray for pinkness! ...and owl purses xD

That's pretty much it. I won't reveal anything more! :D

Trese :3

2009-07-04T20:35:00.001-07:00

I had nothing to do so I sketched a few fan arts for Sir Budjette and Sir Kajo's comic Trese. The first one is an original sketch comic about a teenage Alexandra, but I soon dropped the concept. After all, Sir Budjette already wrote a similar arc ;).

She's a cool character. To be honest I find it quite challenging to draw her devil's haircut. And eveything else, for that matter ;p. Ah but it never hurts to keep trying.

That's enough for now! On with my comics! XD

Carmilla Karnstein

2009-06-25T00:49:00.001-07:00

Yes, I posted this already on ArtSpice!, but in case you missed it I'm going to post it here again :D. The Monster is a character from my webcomic Meet the League.

Think of Pinnochio, My Fair Lady and Edward Scissorhands and that's roughly how I characterized him.

Bukod sa ibang characters, sya rin ung favorite kong drowingin hahahaaaaa (LOL nagtagalog bigla)
