I enjoy your sketch studies, especially the mice.

Image thumbs for a pic about a really old character who originally was created for a stop motion animation (I don't remember if I already linked this here, but anyway)

Your sketches and watercolours have a great style, loose but really strong. The comics look really interesting.

Nice sketchbook! Good blend of creature design and loose figure sketches.

Apparently there's this thing going on in Tumblr where you dress yourself like your favorite Pokemon...or something. No fashion sense on my side of the field.

Hey, just a note on the penguins, I don't know if they are strictly penguins, as it is your fantasy world after all, but the one of the defining trademarks is their waddle with the arms held out on either side. The front arm begging pose may detract from them a bit, but I don't want to risk sounding like a douchebag.

I'd be interested to know if this is a hybrid of species or not?

These are actually (badly drawn) Great Auks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Auk

Well, don't I look like an ignorant shit!

*cough* carry on...

Well, they are pretty badly drawn and it's not like you see a random extinct species with a really random name in nature documentaries, so I can't really blame you here

Great stuff here! Thank you again for taking the time to give me some good feedback on my "Man to Machine" WIP.

An idea I got from COW #250, the elemental thing. I just didn't think these would really fit that though, and I already have drawn my own elemental dudes back in the day, so I left these to be done later.

I've been listening the "Marik Plays: Bloodlines" videos from (Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged). They really stick to your head.

And some older design sketches I did for a local RPG book, I think it's safe to post these now.

Man I wish we had chubby people in our life drawing class! They look fabulous.

Keep up the good work tiny! I don't visit your sketchbook nearly often enough.

Have to admit, I have no idea what's happening in this sketch.

I think I can see horns and sleeves...care to elaborate?

I kinda wish the opposite, thus far in all life drawing things I've been to, we haven't had a man that would be actually skinny or muscular, all male models have been pretty general-to-chubby, though luckily there's more variation with women models. Chubby people are fun to draw though, they have such clear and simple shapes in their bodies!

Might this help? It's basically a ghost with a skull head (with covered eyes).

ER I object !!
"Well, don't I look like an ignorant shit!

*cough* carry on..."

I was pretty sure that this was my job around these forums, Star Eater expect a letter from my lawyer!! you Cad and Bounder!!

Ah tinybird if you want chubby models you should have asked me! I look like Mr Incredible Seriously! the fat one LOL you could do the famous Atlas drawing, you know the one where he is holding up the world. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! (falls off chair etc!)

ok now.... I loved the last set of life drawings you got the poses down pretty good, were they three min poses or longer?

On Friday I had to be taken to a hospital with an ambulance when I suddenly started feeling very dizzy for no reason, and after some time it became clear that it wasn't just from lack of blood sugar, but constant vertigo so strong that I couldn't sit or stand up or walk.
In the hospital it was diagnosed to be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, so now I have ten days of sick leave and I walk like a drunkard.

Thankfully it isn't as bad when I sit, so I can still draw and read pretty comfortably, so hopefully I can use this time to draw some more.

really like your expression in your drawing lines!¨

Keep up the good work my friend!

**DSiwek** · March 25th, 2012, 11:15 AM

Your sketchbook is quite a treat to look through

I love the colors on that little lizard.
That horse might give me nightmares though

**TinyBird** · March 25th, 2012, 08:09 PM

A character that I haven't drawn in... uh.. Long Time. Who accidentally became a total rip-off of The Shadow, since I loved that movie as a kid but as I saw it once from TV, I didn't know it's name or anything but then I created a character that was a snappy dresser, used two guns and... was also... a shadow... and a wyvern.....yeaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Anyway since I found this song again (theme for the movie credits) I decided to give a go for the character too. And man those guns felt like a good idea.
