Gussie and Prissie

Okay, so. More of Prissie, Gussie's friend from finishing school, and Gussie herself. I love the interactions between the two. Gussie's such a freaking spaz, I love it. Priscilla's protective and mothering nature shines whenever the two are together.


ONTO THE ARTS!


Just a couple of unrelated sketchers, with a lovestruck Gussie at the bottom. I'm sure in the sketch where she's peeking around the brick corner, she's spying on her crush. Augustine wouldn't be terribly confident in the manners of romance, I imagine, what with her wounded confidence and stuffs.

Moving right along, then. A strangely out of character chipper Gussie. She's clearly scheming, though, which is probably why Priscilla looks depressed. I think they're supposed to be in Paris.

And finally, more random sketches of the two doing school stuff - studying for an exam at the top (Prissie's done studying - she's not the dimmest girl you'd meet, but... far from brightest, too). The girls are both part of the choir, hence the singing sketch... oh, and more spazzing out from Gussie at the bottom.

Miri garbage

Some old sketches I'd promised myself I'd get around to scanning/etc.

CS5!

CS5 is fun, I played around with their mixer brush tool. The blending on the fly is fun, but it gets difficult if I want to introduce a new colour, kept switching to the regular brush.

Now, I generally don't go for the Rorschach method of drawing random shapes until something comes to the surface, but this time random scribbling worked resulting in this insect... thing.

Michiru

Drew Sailor Neptune just in trying out a new technique in colouring, where you also colour in the lines. Not sure what to say about it - I had a difficult time coming up with the colour scheme, because I didn't want to go for the usual 'hey, since her hair is green, lets have her wear the same hues!' I still tried to keep it all girly, despite... really disliking girly stuff. Oh well.

... Anyway, I re-did it about 3 times, I just think it's time to put this one to bed.

Gussie and Prissy

Gussie has a friend! Huzzah!

Priscilla O'Something (because she's OYRISH) is the financially poorer, but much more in love with life ginger friend of dear Augustine.

We're getting our computers REPLACED WITH FREAKING MACS PRO (Mac Pros?...Although, iPods Touch, etc.), but the IT is messing with my scanner and long story short, I'm resorting to Photo Booth to get these digital.

The text may be hard to read, but it says:
Prissie: "Oh, no! You failed the history exam?! Your parents are gonna kill you, isn't this the fifth time this semester?"

Gussie: "Yeah, I know."

Tax Code genie

So.

A friend suggested I draw a tax code genie, an entity that only grants tax-related wishes. Pardon the image quality, I gots no scanners at home.

At first I was somewhat self-conscious about not being able to come up with a solution for his lower body, but then I figured... he never uses his legs anyway, always sitting behind a desk, so it's okay that they're an ethereal tail.

Anyway, I'm proud of his triangular ears (developed over time, should be seen in the biggest sketch) and his cuffs.

"Real 2B Pencil" tool in Painter.

The first time colours cooperated with me, and I didn't have to fight tooth and nail to get greens and purples to look normal on her face. Somewhat of a success, overall.
