Naked people! And TE Lawrence

2008-02-09T22:44:22Z

Some life drawings and an unfinished picture of T.E. Lawrence, otherwise known as ~~Florence~~ Lawrence of Arabia.

Edited: because photobucket sucks, just LOA for now.

Pencil and markers, unfinished.

MORE printing, woo!

For my final project in my monotype class I carved a bunch of stamps and made them into a picture book.

The four little stamps.

This stamp is almost three years old. She is broken.

Riding on the metroooooo

Drinking a cocktail of poison.

Trying to hang oneself.

Had to carve this one backwards. Tricky, tricky.

And the book itself.

Prints

2008-02-09T22:06:00Z

This past year I did a small series of monotypes using a cardboard collograph. The collograph was pretty much a pain in the ass, considering I did it by striping a single piece of cardboard down layer by layer with an exact-o blade.

Considering all the effort, I guess the prints didn't come out so badly.

The collograph, looking all shiny because of the polymer. Some of the ink stayed on since the prints were done in two ways, using the intaglio method and also simple relief printing. That cathedral was a pain to get looking right.

The first print, sepia ink.

The ghost print.

The third print, done in black ink. I did another small series of prints just playing around with black and white squares, so I just inked up the collograph and reprinted right over the first layer.

I pretty much like the collograph itself better than I like the damn prints. Grack.

Title: 'A bit of lace might cover that...'
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Nearly Headless Nick
Prompt: 071. Broken.
Rating: PG...PG-13? Little bit of gore here.
Notes: Just a quick sketch in pen. Nick looks a bit shocked to find himself without a neck.

Title: Just Thinking
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Just Nick
Prompt: 084. He.
Rating: G
Notes: Another quick pen sketch of a younger (and less dead) Nick doing some musing.

I don't like this as much because his nose isn't as pointy as I usually draw it, but for a quick sketch it's not entirely horrible.

My table (aka, what I got so far)

pronto-plates

2007-11-01T17:44:29Z

Pronto-plates are cheap and quicker alternatives to typical methods of lithography, and so when my Professor introduced them into my monoprinting class I dove for the jugular.

You can still see a lot of the ink that stuck to the plates after printing.

Gorey-esque.

Nude.

"etched"

Aaaand....sad panda?

won't you dig my grave?

Title: Tomb
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Nicky-boy.
Prompt: 055. Spirit.
Rating: G
Notes: I enjoy designing Nearly Headless Nick's costume...probably a lot more than I should. Since there's no way a man getting beheaded would wear a ruff (nor would he anyway if he died in 1492), I figure that I can get away with drawing him in a kind of composite historical look.

You've probably all seen JK Rowling's drawing of Nick, but if you haven't here it be.

Well my Nick looks nothing like that, with the exception of the long, curly hair and the earring. XD I can't decide if I like him better with or without facial hair. Heh.

Here I've got him wearing a lovely 16th century doublet and wide ruff, bracers (I have no idea why, I'm sure he doesn't do a lot of archery), 17th century floppy pantaloons, and 18th-19th century boot tops. It's finished, pencil marks and all. I rather like the pencil marks.

And a closeup:

My table (4/100, ouch.)

Title: Gothic
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Nearly Headless Nick
Prompt: 020. Colourless
Rating: PG (just a wee bit gory)
Author's Notes: Done in mechanical pencil and a black ball point pen, on stolen paper from my work, while watching some teevee. My Mum was freaked out by his eyes.

Oh, and a close up.

amusing crap drawings

Listen my children and you shall hear

On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

(Note the little John Hancock and Samuel Adams waiting for Paul to leave so they can continue on with their honeymoon.)

My scanner is so crappy. I couldn't get rid of that distortion/line thingie so it's staying and you'll deal.

My bunny eats souls while Skelly's farts love and hearts and brings smiles to orphans.

Also, the Antonin Dolohov stick figure by Skelly cracks me up.
