Your posts have been cracking me up lately and your crits are as spot on as ever.

I'm curious, what media did you do the skinless guy and dragon in? Pen and ink? Watercolour?

Those are with Sakura Micron pens, watercolour and white ink.

Hey TinyBird, cool updates as usual, i really like how your watercolors are progressing, and your creatures are still some of my favorite on the site. Keep up with those human anatomical studies as well, they're looking awesome and paying off fast. Your sequential comic work on the last page was cool as well, hope to see more like that soon!

keep it up bud

Hi there matey

I love wandering around your book, it makes me smile a helluva lot and I get the occasional eeeeuw yuk!! from the zombie with his bottom jaw seemingly missing etc. but all in all this is great and one of my faves.

thanks for posting and all the best

I'll admit it, the reason why I came in here is because you had a picture of a crab; I'm a sucker for crustaceansXD I'm glad I did too! your drawings are delightful, and you really are getting good with those watercolors!

**NailBiterMR** · July 11th, 2011, 01:01 AM

Nice crab i like the shapes : D more pls

haven't had time or energy to do anything constructive, just draw really old characters and dragons or somethin' and listen the soundtrack of "Earth Girls Are Easy".

Too long it has been that I hath watcheth urh sketchbookh.
I didn't know that you are working with so many different types of media- I must say that is quite impressive. I keep underestimating how crucial the differences are. I really dig the blood pierrot and #154. And thank you for being so active and helpful in the CC forum, I learn a lot from your posts.

Cheers!

You make me feel ashamed I am not better. And you make me want to be better. BTW this is not a pick up line.
I like your comic book style stuff a lot. I didn't bother reading too many of your words, cause this is an art site. I will go back and read now.
Awesommmme. Really like the angry birds in a tree pic too. The colors remind me of a Final Fantasy Tactics or something.

**HAJiME** · July 21st, 2011, 08:10 AM

This sketchbook is enjoyable. Nice variety. I like where you're going with watercolours lots.

Yeaaaaah. I know that happened long ago but couldn't be arsed to make comic about it before.
Why I don't like this? Mainly because now I know that it will stay forever like that. It seems to be way too easy to people spam the four star rating, but only truly epic stuff will (and should) get five stars meaning that I'm stuck with faulty four stars that I don't feel I deserve until I get high-pro level, which at my rate will take forever, thus rendering the four stars more meaningless (though less irritating) than toenail clippings.
I even tried rating myself lower twice, but at both times someone ruined that and rated my thread higher. I don't know who you are but I'm sure you two feel totally really bad now.

ON OTHER NEWS---
I finally had to say good buy to my old and good sketchbook and because those good, cheap sketchbooks aren't sold anymore, went and bought a new, accidentally shitty sketchbook. Because I didn't inspect the book properly and noticed too late that the pages have small sneaky perforations if you want to rip the pages off and now I'm too paranoid to bring that book anywhere lest I accidentally rip a page off.

So I decided to keep this as my seeecret~ home sketchbook and try to find and buy another book to keep with me, because apparently I'm filthy rich like that.
Because as long as I've remembered, I've had really bad problems of censoring myself, because I've felt so ashamed if I have shown my sketchbook to someone and there's been something I felt was inappropriate to show. Like... FAN ART (not kidding, by the way). Which in the end restricts me of drawing everything I want because I do like showing my sketchbook stuff to my pals. Back in the day I suggested someone to keep a personal sketchbook that you could keep as a secret and only for yourself and do as crappy and silly stuff as you wanted without fear of someone looking at it, and now, years later I decided to take my own advice. Because those perforations really do suck.

Because it just hurts me to have so many things that I want to draw but can't, just because I seem to have some sort of stupid self-made mental lock in my head (even though it has gotten better from those years back), and I figure that if I just get those drawing and ideas out, no matter how guilty I feel days after and no matter how much I hate the drawings, my head will feel less clotted and at least I'll try some different things.

I really like your creature drawings, and your sketches are nice and loose

Love that firey eagle too! Keep going

Man, I love the Pentel Brush Pen. Twice the fun now that I remembered to even fill it!

Hello again Matey

I just thought I would swing by and see what you have added, and I think I may have to add you to the "you have a strange mind goin on there matey" ha ha ha ha I think your muse is taking you on a trip but I know not where. It was great fun I like the dragons but I think the wolf expression is brilliant well done.

P.S. Thanks for all the advice and help, and the occasional shooting down I need all of it thanks again.
