Girl, Hold My Shoe!

I could spend a long time explaining why an oil painting of the Scout's Mom from TF2 about to fight someone exists, or I could just post it. I think I'm going to do the latter.

Scarygirl

Many of the games I've reviewed for GameSugar fall into two categories: point & click adventures and XBLA platformers. The one I'm working on at the moment is the latter; to be more specific, it's Scarygirl, and today's drawing is of the title character. I'll save anything I have to say about the game for the review, but let me just say that this drawing doesn't necessarily signify a glowing endorsement for it.

Another Cat Pet

It's been a while since I've done one of those sketches where I make portions so dark that I only get 3 or 4 out of a single pen. Today's drawing is one such sketch, of someone else's cat.

It's Going Beeserk!

In today's "ripped from the Tumblrs" drawing, I was asked what Beeserker would look like as an Evangelion.

New ImPokédex - Gothita

I really do like the idea of a gothic lolita Pokémon - I just wish that its final form looked less like a Christmas tree.

The Bearkeeper

In the comments section of a recent Beeserker strip, I mentioned something about a theoretical bearkeeper that they'd need to hire to mass produce Trigona's flamethrower. Anyway, someone on Tumblr asked me to draw said bearkeeper, which I did, even though she's pretty much a fluffier Trigona. Also, I'm sure "bearkeeper" isn't the proper term.

More Brushery

I was messing around with brushes today, and didn't realize that one brush had size jitter on it, and I was confused about why the line looked so weird. These jitters, man - they're pretty cool.

Waddle Dee Spy Part Deux

Almost three and a half years ago, I drew a group of video game characters that vaguely resembled Waddle Dees. A couple of months ago, someone asked me to draw another version with some more impostor Waddle Dees. I had been sitting on the question for a while, fully meaning to draw it some time, when yesterday, I finally got Pushmo, and quickly realized "hey, this Mallo guy is pretty much a sumo Waddle Dee!" which was the sign that I finally had to draw this updated version.

Ok, now my Pushmo-induced 3DS headache has died down... time to play it some more.

Square Brush!

One of my many flaws as a digital artist is that I constantly use the same brush - a perfectly round one. Brushes can be shaped like anything I want, and I should be taking advantage of that more. Today's drawing is me messing around with a square brush; it makes a pretty cool looking line, though it gets a bit wonky when you begin a line or make a sharp angle.

Pipeserker

The following is a long-winded summary of many of my Beeserker-related tweets from this week, cobbled into a story. Sorry.

I've been messing around with the Beeserker site a bit this week. One of the changes was the background - it used to be bees over solid grey (the same one I use on my Twitter and Tumblr pages), but I added the comic's ubiquitous pipes, in addition to the bees. I was worried that it looked cluttered, and it did, so I got rid of the bees and kept the pipes, another move that I would immediately question, because after all, the comic's called Beeserker, not Pipeserker. This would lead me to actually drawing Pipeserker: the robot powered by pipes. It looks just like the Beeserker, but wears an argyle sweater vest and smokes a pipe.

So the week is coming to an end, and all I have to show for it is a slightly reskinned site, a little more CSS knowledge, and a drawing of another tobacco-dependent robot.
