Hey, so remember last month when I said I'm going to do an art dump once a month? Well, I'm keeping to that. So, hey. Art dump time!
So yeah, like the cut said, this is going to be a lot of unfinished sketches. So this is really more of a sketch dump then an art dump. I just don't really have the time or energy to sit down an do a full drawing much anymore. These (with a few exceptions) were quickly done between classes. Anywho.

First off, an unfinished sketch of Holly Short from the Artemis Fowl series. Eh. Not much to say about this.

One of the few things I took time on. This fine fellow is Jack, a character in a short story I'm working on. He's a cowboy with a robotic arm. And he's black. From the same universe as my 'Paper Bird' stories, but from the America ersatz country of that world.

This was supposed to be Emily and the Lamp Lighter from my Paper Bird short "The Lamp Lighter", but I gave up on it.

Tomas, from a project I'm working on. He was in my last art dump, but I made some changes. His hair is longer, and he's got a tattoo (which says 'Sanctuario'). I think he looks a bit older here, which is more what I had it mind for him.

Slowly, slowly working on his project. Not much time to do so.

Playing with DEC markings. They're normally mostly white, with black and blue markings. But occasionally you get a mostly black or mostly blue one. This guy is black, with a blue stripe on his face and belly, and the rest of his markings are white.

The DEC are a mildly psychic race, which helps make up for the fact that most of the species has really poor eyesight. Most all DEC are partially colorblind, and a few are fully colorblind. Most tend to be near-sighted. I think a DEC using goggle-like glasses would be really cute.

This is Rei. He was literally my first original character - a Brazilian time traveler that a friend helped me create back in middle school. ....also, shut up, I like Zoolander.

I'm apping Rei to T9, so I've been doing a lot of sketches of him to use for icons.


Colored images are ones I'm actually using for icons.


Rei's pointed ears and a forked tongue are a side effect of his time traveling powers. They were granted to him by one of the Guardians of Time and Space, which was in the form of a dragon. As Rei ages, he'll slowly turn into a dragon identical to the one that gave him his powers, and will replace that Guardian.

Sketching Rei made me remember my other middle-school era characters. These were my main three of the time - Elaine, a normal girl that has to deal with a lot of crazy magic users and has been infected by that magic; Puck, a former friend of Rei's, who is also a time traveler, but was booted from his universe into Elaine's; and finally, Demie, a bighorn sheep-type faun. These guys were in a comic I wrote and drew during middle school, called "When Idiots Collide". It wasn't very good, but it was fun to write. Also, all my characters back then had pointed ears. Don't ask me why; I don't know.
I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving. Waaaant tuuurkey
