I’m trying to get back in the habit of Drawing Something New Every Bloody Day, a habit i’ve managed to maintain for years at a time before but have repeatedly fallen out of and always had difficulty getting back into. (Motivation to keep a four-hundred-day drawing streak going is easy. Motivation to start a new…
Quite possibly my first caricature which a) actually looks like the person it’s supposed to be and b) doesn’t look too much like the person it’s supposed to be. I paused the news show he was on in the middle of him making a vaguely muppet-like face. Then again, i also paused him in the…

Since i’m speed painting every day this month anyway, i gave myself a new self-portrait for my birthday. I usually use a self-portrait instead of a photo for my avatar or userpic on the sites which allow such a thing, but my last one is over a year old (and, by extension, a piercing short),…

On the plus side, now this lost little fae knows he’s not the only one to have taken a wrong turn. He doesn’t seem pleased about the revelation, though. I tried a new method of laying in the colour this time. I like how it looks, but no more than my other pieces, so it…

Original pose looked more like he was throwing something… but he’s very into the throw, falling is almost inevitable.
Just looking up…
This one was supposed to end up a reddish-violet Plain, but i didn’t get around to finishing him… so he’s more of an old rusted-up Plain.
Just a standard little sitting pose.
Some dancers from my night at the Banshee. The woman had been teaching a little line-dancing class at the pub before the band started playing. The man was more fun to watch; not quite as good a dancer, but he was so damn happy. He reminded me of a bit in Twilight Watch, where the…
Somehow very not properly in the habit of updating daily. Bah! This sketch is over a week old – i went to the Banshee to celebrate my birthday and did some sketches of the band and dancers while i was there.
For the Illustration Friday theme, Muddy – a quick illustration of Zack, one of the characters for a webcomic idea i’m working on. No story behind this, Zack just seems the most likely character to end up getting knocked in a mud puddle 😛 Of course he’s also more likely to smack whoever knocks him…

Apparently i’ve moved on from robots to zombies. Nom.

Correctly drawing a person and not getting around to the arms and legs isn’t so difficult… but doing the same thing using a random pose generator… i end up with mutants :/
Hey, a dude! Er, supposed to be. Without the rest of his body the pecs look like full-on boobs. He’s twisted around a bit here. Also played around a little (very little) with different brush styles. They seem to be the Big New Thing all the art apps are focusing on lately. It’s nice to…

Rather more stylised than my normal fae drawings
Complete with fae-bling.
Chariot and wee faerie ponies not shown.
Apparently demons need guns.
Prepare to be eaten.
Another one who’s a bit angry.
Being able to fly: cool. Having the bones, flesh, and muscle making up wings suddenly rip themselves out of your back: not so much.
Messenger-monkey: more fun than a carrier pigeon.
Yesterday’s catboy cared about not looking silly. Today’s has no such limitations.
Trying not to make a fool of himself dancing in front of that cute catgirl he likes.
Androids like to have fun, too; it’s part of their sentience programming. Here, a Baletistino and one of her friends at a nightclub. No accounting for style here.
Eh, composition of this one is a bit dodgy, but that’s why it’s just a sketch. Couple of androids just doing their thing in whatever part of town androids like to hang out in. One of them seems to have caught on to the idea they’re being watched…
Some random army droids.
Yes, another catboy. Speedpainting still doesn’t seem quite the right word for stuff done in Manga Studio. “Speedtoning” is kind of a crap word, too, but it fits a wee bit better. Pbth.
Ah, enough with the catboys. This one’s more of a puppy-boy than a dogboy, though.
Able to withstand powerful mousetraps.
yet another catboy.
yet another catboy sketch.
Not one of the greatest mutant powers there is, but it’s good enough to provide some level of defence against enemies.
Superman-style flight. w00t.
Actually, calling this “yoga” is probably giving the level of flexibility (or lack thereof) required for the pose a little too much credit.
One of the earlier models of the Plain Cambot, who would rather spend his time reading the paper than watching out for criminals.
He’s a little on the scrawny side, for an orc. Perhaps this is one of the nerdy ones who doesn’t work out as much and is picked on by all the big jock orcs.
No arguing allowed.
Boys and dirt. It’s a bad combination.
Nothing much to say here; never even got so far as to figure out where i was going with it.
I’m sure other planets have just as many weird careers as ours does. But what we’d all really pay to see is a Vulcan le-matya charmer.
I imagine having an odd number of limbs would leave people a bit off-balance, but never having had a third arm or leg, i wouldn’t know from first-hand experience. It’s possible people born like this would think an even number of limbs would be useless.
Lizard man. With gun. Not much to say here.

©2009 Sharon Rosa Inspired by the Illustration Friday theme, Subtract, and the book Taken by the Enemy, in which a teenage boy is subtracted from his family by the Confederate army… Yes, it’s a bit of a stretch on the theme.

Last WiP for this week – i’ve pretty much finished the illustration, just need to finish formatting the file for web display now. Rendered image of Sourpuss. Did the rendering a bit too quickly, i think, so the shadows aren’t as good as i’d like – but i really love how the lighting came out.

The drawings of foreshortened limbs under the fabric are getting better, i think, but it’s hard to tell under the fabric. Something to practice next month, maybe.

This was originally going to be some super-hero-style flying, but i never finished drawing the body. As such it looks a bit more like a half-finished drawing of someone piloting a jet at Mach 10.
Doctor Who fans will get this before anyone else. Got some new pens for Christmas; don’t quite have the hang of them yet. And spent more time trying to figure them out than making the drawing actually look good. Tomorrow will be better, i think.
